less adjustments could lead to injury.
Long objects must always be securely
tied down to help prevent injury or dam-
age in the event of sudden braking.
Always turn off the engine and apply the
parking brake when loading or unloading
the vehicle.
Put the gear selector in P to help prevent
the gear selector from being inadvertently

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
278 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 systems can, for example, help the driver:
maintain a set speed
maintain a set time interval to the vehicle
ahead
help prevent a collision by warning the driver
and applying the brakes
park the vehicle.
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.
WARNING
While the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
and systems with steering assistance are not
available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows
the
Power steering failure message, com-
bined with a STEERING 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 Force
Steering wheel resistance settings cannot be
accessed when turning at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph).

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.

WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control system
ESC is supplementary driver support
intended to facilitate driving and make it
safer – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance 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 attempt
to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakes
the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional
power 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 or
using engine braking when driving at low speeds
on 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 the
vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more
information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE The TSA function is deactivated if
ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

A number of symbols and messages related to
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) may be dis-
played in the instrument panel. Some examples of symbols and messages are
shown in the table below.Symbol
Message MeaningSteady glow for
approx. 2 seconds.
System check when the engine is started.Flashing light.
The ESC is actively operating.Steady glow.

Note: The ESC system is not deactivated in this mode, but has partially reduc\
ed functionality. ESC
Temporarily off
The ESC system's functionality has been temporarily reduced due to hi\
gh brake system temperatures. The
function will be automatically reactivated when the brakes have cooled.
See the message in the instrument panel.ESC
Service required
The ESC system is not functioning properly.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine and then restart i\

WARNING

The ASL function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
Even if the driver can clearly see the
speed limit sign, the speed information
from the Road Sign Information (RSI)
function to ASL may be incorrect. In such
cases, the driver must intervene and
accelerate or brake to an appropriate
speed.
ASL is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

mation limitations".Is SL or ASL active?The symbols in the instrument panel indicate
