Active chassis system–Four C04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 157
Active chassis (Four C)*
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con-
trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the cha-
racteristics of the shock absorbers so that the
car\fs driving characteristics can be adjusted.
There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
ComfortComfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride
and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm.
This mode is particularly suitable for long-dis-
tance highway driving. The indicator light in the
button will be on when this mode is selected.
SportIn this mode, the vehicle\fs body sway is
reduced during cornering and steering
response is more immediate. The transmission
shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driving. The
indicator light in the button will be on to indi-
cate that Sport mode has been selected.
AdvancedIn this mode, body sway in curves is minimal
and steering response is very direct. Gear shift-
ing is done at high rpm in each gear for
dynamic and active driving.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to
change setting. The setting in use when the
engine is switched off is activated the next time
the engine is started.
Speed-dependent steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the
vehicle to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.
At low speed the vehicle is easy to steer in
order to facilitate parking, etc.
Steering force can be changed under
Car
settings Steering force level. For a
description of the menu system, see
page 122.NOTE This steering force level menu function can-
not be accessed when the vehicle is in

sensitivity used by the system. The warning
distance Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives
too many warnings, try changing to
Normal.
WARNING \b
The setting
Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
\b Collision Warning alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function can-
not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
\b For Collision Warning to be as effective
as possible, it is recommended that Dis-
tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 179.
NOTE \b
When adaptive cruise control is used,
the warning light and signal will be used
by cruise control, even if they have been
deactivated by the driver.
\b In situations where traffic is moving at
considerably different speeds, or if the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-
ings may be considered to be late, even
if the setting Long has been selected.

in one or both bumpers to measure the dis-
tance to a vehicle, object, or a person who may
be close to the front or rear of your vehicle.
This system is available in the rear bumper
only, or in both the front and rear bumpers.
Park assist utilizes four ultrasound sensors in
the bumper(s) to measure the distance to a
vehicle, object, or a person who may be close
to the front or rear of your vehicle. An audible
signal and symbols in the audio system’s dis-
play indicate the distance to the object
WARNING
