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
motion. G031392

mately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
NOTE \b
A temporary increase in speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal, for less
than 1 minute (e.g. when passing
another car), does not affect the current
cruise control setting. The vehicle will
automatically return to the previously
set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
\b If one of the cruise control buttons is
kept depressed for more than approx.
1 minute cruise control is disengaged.
The engine must then be switched off in
order to reset cruise control.
Automatic deactivationCruise control is automatically deactivated
temporarily if one of the following occurs:
\b
If the speed drops below approximately
20 mph (30 km/h).
\b When the brake pedal is depressed.
\b If the gear selector is moved to position N.
\b During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
\b If the vehicle\fs speed is increased by using
the accelerator pedal for more than 1
minute.
The currently set speed will be saved in the
system\fs memory. G022910

04 Comfort and driving pleasureCollision warning with Auto-brake* 04
162
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
LimitationsStrong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is
not looking straight ahead may make the visual
warning signal in the windshield difficult to see.
For this reason, always activate the audible
warning signal in such conditions.
NOTE The visual warning signal may be temporar-
ily disengaged in the event of high passen-
ger compartment temperature due to strong
sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the audible
warning signal will be used, even if it has
been deactivated in the menu system.
Warnings may not appear if the distance to the
vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel
and pedal movements are great, for example,
due to a very active driving style.
WARNING \b
In certain situations, the system cannot
provide warnings or warning may be
delayed if traffic conditions or other
external factors make it impossible for
the radar sensor or camera to detect the
vehicle ahead.
\b Warnings may not be provided if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is short,
or if movements of the steering wheel/
brake pedal are great, such as during
active driving.
\b The sensor system has a limited range
for stationary or slow-moving vehicles
and may therefore give delayed or no
warnings if your vehicle’s speed is
above approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h).
\b Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles may not be provided in dark
conditions. The Collision Warning system uses the same
radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For
more information on the radar sensor and its
limitations, see page 175

.
If no warning is given, or if a warning is delayed,
Auto-brake will also not be provided or will be
delayed.
NOTE If warnings are given too frequently, the
warning distance can be reduced (see
page 161). This causes the system to pro-
vide later warnings, which decreases the
total number of warnings provided.
The camera’s limitationsThe camera is used by Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Driver Alert Control (see
page 182), and Lane Departure Warning (see
page 185).
NOTE
\b
To help protect the camera in very hot
conditions, it may be temporarily
switched off for approximately 15
minutes after the engine has been
started.
\b Keep the section of the windshield in
front of the camera clean and free of ice,
snow, or condensation.

Introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol and is a function that provides information
about the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Time interval information is only given for a
vehicle that is driving ahead of your vehicle, in
the same lane, and in the same direction. No
information is provided for vehicles driving
toward you, moving very slowly, or at a stand-
still.
A smaller section of the red warning light in the
windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is
closer to the vehicle ahead than the set time
interval.
NOTE Distance Alert is in active mode while Adap-
tive Cruise Control is active.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to
the vehicle ahead. It does not affect the
speed of your vehicle.
Operation
–
Press the button in the center instrument
panel to switch this function on or off. > The indicator light in the button illumi-
nates when the function is on.
Setting a time intervalThe buttons for setting a time interval are
located on the left side of the steering wheel.
– Press to increase the interval or to
decrease it.
Five different time intervals
can be selected and are
shown in the display as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater
the number of bars, the longer
the time interval. No. of bars Approx. time interval
(in seconds) 1 1.0
2 1.4
3 1.8
4 2.2
5 2.6
The number of bars indicating the selected
time interval are shown while the setting is
being made and for several seconds afterward. G031394 G031396

04 Comfort and driving pleasureDriver Alert System* 04
182
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The Driver Alert System is designed to help a
driver who may be becoming fatigued or who
is inadvertently leaving the lane.
The Driver Alert System consists of two differ-
ent functions that can be switched on together
or separately.
\b
Driver Alert Control (DAC)
\b Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
When one or both of the functions has been
switched on, it is in standby mode and is acti-
vated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of
40 mph (65 km/h).
The function deactivates if speed goes under
37 mph (60 km/h).
Both functions use a camera that is dependent
on the road/lane being clearly marked by pain-
ted lines on each side.
WARNING The Driver Alert system does not function in
all situations and is designed to be a sup-
plementary aid. It is not, however, intended
to replace the driver’s attention and judge-
ment. Driver Alert Control (DAC)–general
information
This function is intended to alert the driver if
his/her driving becomes erratic, such as if the
driver is distracted or fatigued. The camera has
certain limitations, see page 170.
A camera monitors the painted lines marking
the lane in which the vehicle is traveling and
compares the direction of the road with the
driver’s movements of the steering wheel. The
driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow
the lane smoothly.
NOTE
The camera has certain limitations, see
page 162. DAC is designed to help detect a slowly chang-
ing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be
used on main roads and is not meant for use in
city traffic.
WARNING
\b
DAC is not intended to extend the dura-
tion of driving. Always plan breaks at
regular intervals to help remain alert.
\b In certain cases, fatigue may not affect
the driver’s behavior. In situations of
this type, no warning will be provided.
Therefore, it is important to take breaks
at regular intervals, regardless of
whether or not DAC has given a warn-
ing.
LimitationsIn certain situations, DAC may provide warn-
ings even if the driver’s driving pattern has not
become erratic.
