Locking/unlocking – from the outside
The remote key (p. 150) is used to lock/unlock all of the doors and the tailgate at the sametime. Different settings for unlocking the vehi-cle can be selected, see Remote key – func-tions (p. 153). Before the vehicle can be locked from the outside with the remote key, the driver's doormust be closed. If the tailgate or any otherdoor is open, it will be locked and the alarmwill be armed.
NOTE
Be sure the remote key is outside of the vehicle before the other doors/tailgate areclosed to help avoid locking the remoteinside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional keyless drive system, all doors/tailgate mustbe closed before the vehicle can be locked. The first press on the unlock button unlocks the driver's door and a second press unlocksthe other doors and the tailgate (see alsoremote key and key blade (p. 150)). This set-ting can be changed in the menu system. SeeMY CAR

The detachable key blade (p. 155) can be used in the lock cylinder in the driver's doorto lock that door. The other doors do not have lock cylinders and the slot on the rear edge of each doorhas to be used to lock it. This will lock thedoor from the outside but it can still beopened from inside the vehicle. To do so:
Manually locking a door
–Insert the key blade into the slot and turn it 90 degrees to lock that door (the slot ina particular door locks that door only).
In the horizontal position, the door cannot be opened from the outside.

NOTE
If the manual child safety lock (p. 61) is activated for a rear side door and that dooris also locked manually, the door cannotbe opened from the outside or inside. Thedoor can only be unlocked with the remotekey or the central locking button.

Active chassis* (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates thecharacteristics of the shock absorbers so thatthe vehicle's driving characteristics can beadjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,Sport and Advanced.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when theengine is switched off is activated the nexttime the engine is started.
NOTE
This system is available on Canadian mod- els only.
ComfortComfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lowerrpm. This mode is particularly suitable forlong-distance highway driving. The indicatorlight in the button will be on when this modeis selected.
SportIn this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steeringresponse is more immediate. The transmis-sion shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driv-ing. The indicator light in the button will be onto indicate that Sport mode has beenselected.
AdvancedIn this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gearshifting is done at high rpm in each gear fordynamic and active driving.

Stability system – introduction
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system consists of a number of functions designed tohelp reduce wheel spin, counteract skiddingand to generally help improve directional sta-bility.
A pulsating sound will be audiblewhen the system is actively operat-ing and is normal. Acceleration willalso be slightly slower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for oper- ating the vehicle in a safe manner inaccordance with current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions:
• Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
• Engine Drag Control
• Corner Traction Control
• Trailer Stability Assist

Traction Control (TC)This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin at low speeds by transferringpower from a drive wheel that begins to losetraction to the wheel on the opposite side ofthe vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin Control (SC)The SC function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehi-cle is accelerating.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)This function helps maintain directional stabil- ity, for example when cornering, by brakingone or more of the wheels if the vehicleshows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.
Corner Traction Control (CTC)CTC compensates for understeering and helps provide additional stability when accel-erating through a curve by preventing theinside wheel from spinning. This is particularlyuseful when accelerating on a curving high-way on-ramp. CTC is most effective if the stability system's Sport mode is selected. See the section
about Sport mode.
Engine Drag Control (EDC)EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheels show a tendency to lock, e.g., whenshifting down in the Geartronic manual shift-ing mode or while using the engine's brakingfunction on a slippery surface. If the engine were to stop, power steering would not func-tion, making the vehicle more difficult tosteer.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
1The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is tow- ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer havebegun to sway. See Trailer Stability Assist(TSA) (p. 284) for more information. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Stability system – operation
Operation
Sport modeThe stability system is always activated and cannot be switched off.
However, the driver canselect Sport mode, which
offers more active drivingcharacteristics. Sport mode can be selected
in the MY CAR menus, see
My Car – introduction (p. 76).
In Sport mode, the engine management sys-
tem monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier drivingby allowing more lateral movement of the rearwheels before ESC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deepsnow or loose sand, it may be advisable totemporarily use Sport mode for maximum
tractive force. If the driver releases pressure on the acceler- ator pedal, ETC will also activate to help sta-bilize the vehicle. To switch to Sport mode:
Sport mode remains active until the driver
switches it off in the menu or until the engine
