KEY, LOCKS AND ALARM
}}
* Option/accessory.263
Foot movement tailgate operation *
To make it easier to operate the tailgate when your hands are full, it can be opened and closedby moving your foot in a forward kicking motionunder the rear bumper.
The sensor is located to the left of center under the rear bumper 18
.
One of the vehicle's remote keys must be within range behind the vehicle (approx. 1 meter (3feet)) for opening and closing to be possible. Thisapplies even if the vehicle is unlocked in order toprevent the trunk lid from inadvertently openinge.g. at a car wash.
Foot movement operation
Kicking motion within the sensor's activation area.
–Make one slow forward kicking motion with
your foot under the left section of the rear bumper. Take a step back. Do not touch thebumper.
> A brief audible signal will be heard when opening or closing is activated - the tail- gate will open/close. If the tailgate is open, it will always close 19
when the foot motion sensor is activated.
If several opening attempts have been made without the remote key in range behind the vehi-cle, foot movement operation will not be availablefor a short period of time. Do not keep your foot under the vehicle in a kick-ing motion. This may prevent activation.
Interrupting opening or closing with a foot
movement
–Make
one slow forward kicking motion while
the tailgate is opening or closing to stop its movement.
The remote key does not need to be within rangeof the vehicle to interrupt opening or closing.
NOTE
There is a risk of reduced or lost function if there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc.on the rear bumper. Make sure to keep thebumper clean.
NOTE
Please note that the system could be inadver- tently activated in a car wash or similar if theremote key is within range.
Vehicle with skid plate accessory *If the vehicle is equipped with skid plate, the sen- sor is located towards the left corner of thebumper.

Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC 2
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel when theESC system is intervening. When the ESC has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsingsound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following sub- functions: • Stability control 3
• Spin control and active yaw control
• Engine drag control
• Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
•The Electronic Stability Control system ESC is supplementary driver supportintended to facilitate driving and make itsafer – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning. This function also helps prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface. Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist *5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
6
) is designed to help
stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if thevehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For moreinformation, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE
The TSA function is deactivated if ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance worksWhen ACC is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 52
, Adaptive Cruise Control
will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti- vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

When the vehicle is approaching an off-ramp or a fork in the road, the driver should steer towardthe desired lane to indicate to Pilot Assist thedesired direction of travel.
Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle
in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assistance, itstrives to position the vehicle in the center of thelane between the lane markings. For the smooth-est driving experience possible, the driver shouldpermit the vehicle to find the optimal positioning.The driver should check that the vehicle is posi-tioned safely in the lane and can always adjustthe vehicle's position by applying more force tothe steering wheel. If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle appro- priately in the lane, the driver should turn off PilotAssist or switch to Adaptive Cruise Control.

How passing assistance worksWhen Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal 67
, Pilot Assist will
begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane. The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle. The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.

Passing assistance functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using Parking Assis-tance, the function may implement an unde-sired acceleration in certain conditions. Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if: • the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normallyoccur
• the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-cle has had time to switch to the passinglane
• traffic in the passing lane slows down
• a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven ina country with left-hand traffic (or viceversa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-rarily putting Pilot Assist in standby mode.
