Average speedThe system calculates the average speed from
the last resetting. Reset using RESET.
Current speed in mph (Canadian models
only)
This function provides the driver with an instan-
taneous conversion of the car's current speed
from km/h to mph.
Current speed in km/h (U.S. models only)This function provides the driver with an instan-
taneous conversion of the car's current speed
from mph to km/h.
Current fuel consumption
(Instantaneous)
Current fuel consumption is calculated every
second. The information on the display isupdated every few seconds. When the vehicle
is stationary, "
----" appears on the display.
Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the last
reset. Reset using RESET.
Driving distance on current fuel reserveThis function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank. The calculation is based on average fuel
consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km)
of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank when the reading was taken. When the
message
---- miles to empty tank appears in
the display, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
The actual distance that can be driven on
the usable fuel remaining in the tank may be
influenced by a change in driving style.

Active chassis system–Four C*
04
140* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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's 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's 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 MY CAR
Car settingsSteering wheel force.
Select
Low, Medium or High. For a descrip-
tion of the menu system, see page 124.
NOTE
This steering force level menu function can-
not be accessed when the vehicle is in
motion.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.147
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for
a short time, such as when passing another
vehicle, ACC is deactivated temporarily and
is reactivated when the pedal is released.
Automatic standby modeAdaptive cruise control is linked to other sys-
tems such as the stability and traction control
system (DSTC). If this system is not functioning
properly, adaptive cruise control is automati-
cally deactivated and will go into standby
mode.
In the event of automatic deactivation, an audi-
ble signal will sound and the message
Cruise
control Cancelled is shown in the display.
The driver must then intervene and adapt the
vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic and
regulate the distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic switch to standby mode may be
caused if:
•the wheels lose traction
•brake temperature is high
•engine speed (rpm) is too low or too high
•the radar sensor is obstructed by, for
example, wet snow or rain.
Special ACC functionsThe following ACC functions are linked to your
vehicle's automatic transmission.
Enhanced speed intervalYour vehicle can maintain the set time interval
to the vehicle ahead at any permissible speed,
including a complete stop.
In order to activate ACC at speeds below
20 mph (30 km/h):
•The vehicle ahead must be within a rea-
sonable distance (not farther away than
approx. 100 ft/30 meters)
•The lowest speed that can be selected is
20 mph (30 km/h), although ACC will also
help maintain the set time interval to the
vehicle ahead at lower speeds, including a
complete stop.
During short stops (less than approximately
3 seconds) in slow-moving traffic, your vehicle
will begin moving again automatically as soon
as the vehicle ahead begins to move.
If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle
ahead to begin moving, ACC will be automati-
cally go into standby mode.
The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in
one of the following ways:
•By pressing
•By accelerating up to at least 3 mph
(4 km/h)
Your vehicle will then resume following the
vehicle ahead at the set time interval.
NOTE
ACC can remain active and keep your vehi-
cle at a standstill for up to 2 minutes. After
2 minutes have elapsed, the parking brake
will be engaged and ACC will go into
standby mode.
To reactivate ACC, the driver must release
the parking brake (see page 117 and press
.

zone behind the vehicle
Marker line for the clear back-up zone
"Wheel tracks"
The solid line (1) indicates a zone within 1 ft
(30 centimeters) of the rear bumper.
The dashed line (2) indicates the clear zone of
approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the
bumper. These lines also indicate the outmost
limits that any object (door mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle ,
even when the it turns.
The "wheel tracks" (3) between the side marker
lines show where the wheels will roll and can
extend up to approximately 10.5 ft (3.2 m)
behind the bumper if there are no objects in the
way.
Vehicles equipped with Park Assist
G031931
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Park
Assist system, the distance to an object will be
indicated more exactly and colored markers in
the display indicate which of the sensor(s) has
detected the object.
The markers change color (from yellow to
orange to red) as the vehicle comes closer to
the object.

lines are affected by movements of the
steering wheel. The vehicle's approximate
outer dimension are shown by two dashed
lines.
•The graphic lines will not be displayed
when backing up with a trailer that is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
