* Option/accessory.
244 For keyless use, a remote key or the Key Tag
must be within the shaded areas shown in the
illustration, i.e. a semicircle with a radius of
approx. 1.5 meter (5 feet) along the sides of the
vehicle or approx. 1 meter (3 feet) from the tail-
gate.
NOTE
The functions of the remote control key can
be disrupted by ambient radio waves, build-
ings, topographical conditions, etc. The vehi-
cle can always be locked/unlocked using the
key blade.

The battery in the remote key must be replaced
when it is discharged.
NOTE All batteries have a limited service life and
must eventually be replaced (does not apply
for Key Tag). The battery's service life varies
depending on how often the vehicle/key is
used.
The remote key battery should be replaced if:

again.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
272 Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver
support systems that can provide the driver with
active or passive assistance in various situations.
The system can, for example, help the driver
maintain a set speed or a set time interval to the
vehicle ahead, help prevent a collision by warning
the driver and applying the brakes, or assist the
driver while parking.
Some of the systems are standard and others are
options. This also varies from market to market.

resistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the
steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-
cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-
ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When
parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to
move the steering wheel.
NOTE In some situations, the power steering may
become too hot and require temporary cool-
ing – during such time the power steering will
work at reduced output and the steering
wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer-
ing assistance, the driver display shows a
message as well as a STEERING WHEEL
symbol.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.273
WARNINGWhile the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
with steering assistance are not available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows
the
Power steering failure or Power

WHEEL symbol.
Changing the level of steering wheel
resistance*
To change the level of steering wheel resistance,
see the description of the INDIVIDUAL option
under "Available drive modes" in the "Drive
modes" section.
On models not equipped with drive mode con-
trols and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheel
resistance can instead be set in the center dis-
play's Top view under:
Settings My Car Drive Modes

Steering wheel resistance settings cannot be
accessed when turning at speeds above

Control
The Roll Stability Control (RSC 1
) system helps
minimize the risk of a rollover in the event of e.g.
a sudden evasive maneuver or if the vehicle
begins to skid.
The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at
which the vehicle is leaning and registers any
changes. Using this information, the system cal-
culates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is an
imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Stability
Control is activated, engine torque is reduced and
brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels
until the vehicle has regained stability.

activated.
• To remove road sign information from the
driver display, you must deactivate both
Automatic Speed Limiter and RSI.
• When the Automatic Speed Limiter func-
tion is activated but RSI is deactivated, no
warnings are given from RSI. In this situa-
tion, settings for RSI cannot be adjusted

Changing Automatic Speed Limiter
tolerance
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL
23
) can be set
to different tolerance levels.
It is also possible to allow the vehicle to drive
above or below the posted speed limit. For exam-
ple, if the vehicle is following a current posted
speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph), the driver can
instead allow the vehicle to maintain a speed of
75 km/h (47 mph). Function buttons and symbols

. –
Tap the (1) button on the steering
wheel keypad until 70 km/h (43 mph) has
been changed to 75 km/h (47 mph) in the
center of the speedometer (4).
>

The vehicle will then use the selected tol-
erance of 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as the
posted speed limit the vehicle passes is
70 km/h (43 mph).
This tolerance level will be followed until
the vehicle passes a sign with a lower or
higher speed. The vehicle will then adjust
to the new speed limit and the set toler-
ance will be deleted from the system's
memory.
If Road Sign Information* is activated, the
posted speed limit will then be indicated
by a RED marking on the speedometer's
speed scale.
The set tolerance can be adjusted in the same
way as for the Speed Limiter's speed.
NOTE The highest possible selectable tolerance is
+/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Speed limiter (p. 278) Automatic Speed Limiter limitations
ASL utilizes the speed limit information provided
by the RSI 25
system, not from the speed limit
signs that the vehicle passes.
If RSI 25
is unable to interpret and provide ASL
with speed information, ASL will go into standby
mode and switch over to SL. The driver will then
have to actively brake to bring the vehicle down
to the appropriate speed.
ASL will be reactivated when RSI 25
is once again
able to interpret and provide speed information to
ASL.

information.
