Active chassis system–Four C*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.159 Active chassis (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con-
trolled Chassis Concept)1, 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.
NOTE
This system is available on Canadian mod-
els only.
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 Car
settings
Steering force level. For a
description of the menu system, see
page 124.
NOTE
This steering force level menu function can-
not be accessed when the vehicle is in

Collision warning with Auto-brake*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.175
Brake SupportIf the risk of collision continues to increase after
the collision warning has been given, Brake
Support is activated. Brake Support prepares
the brake system to react quickly, and the
brakes are applied slightly. This may be expe-
rienced as a light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking
effect will be provided, even if pressure on the
brake pedal is light.
Auto-brakeIf a collision is imminent and the driver has not
applied the brakes or begun to steer around the
vehicle, the auto-brake function is activated
without the driver pressing the brake pedal.
Limited brake force is applied to reduce the
vehicle’s speed when the collision occurs. The
driver must apply the brakes for full braking
effect.
WARNING
The auto-brake function cannot prevent a
collision but instead is intended to reduce
speed at the moment of impact. For full
braking effect, driver must apply the brakes.
NOTE
The auto-brake function is always on and
cannot be turned off.
Operation
Some settings are controlled from the center
console via a menu system.
On and offTo switch Collision Warning on or off, go into
the menu Car settings
Collision
warning settings and select On or Off. When
the engine is started, the setting that was
selected when it was switched off will be used.
When the engine is switched on, the Collision
Warning setting that was being used when it
was switched off will be the default setting.
Activating/deactivating warning signalsThe collision warning system’s audible and vis-
ual signals are activated automatically when
the engine is started if the collision warning
system is switched on.
The audible warning signal can be activated/
deactivated by selecting the alternative

Warning distance
The warning distance determines the level of
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
•The setting Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
•Collision Warning alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function can-
not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
•For Collision Warning to be as effective
as possible, it is recommended that Dis-
tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 171.

Driver Alert System*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.183 Lane Departure Warning (LDW)–
introduction
This function is designed to help reduce the
risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle
leaves its lane and there is a risk of driving off
the road or into the opposite lane. LDW con-
sists of a camera that monitors the lane’s side
marker lines. The driver is alerted by an audible
signal if the vehicle crosses a side marker line
or the road’s center dividing line.

LDW can be switched on or off by pressing the
button on the center console. A light in the but-
ton illuminates when the function is on.
The trip computer display shows
Lane Depart
Warn Unavailable when the function is in
standby mode.
When LDW is in standby mode, the function is
activated automatically after the camera has
monitored the road’s side marker lines and the
vehicle’s speed exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h).
Lane Depart Warn Available will be dis-
played.
If the camera can no longer monitor the road’s
side marker lines, or if the vehicle’s speed fallsbelow 37 mph (60 km/h), LDW will return to
standby mode and
Lane Depart Warn
Unavailable will be displayed.
If the vehicle unexpectedly crosses the lane’s
left or right side marker lines, the driver will be
alerted by an audible signal.
No warning signal will be given in the follow-
ing situations:
•The turn signal is being used
•The driver’s foot is on the brake pedal1
•The throttle pedal is pressed quickly
•If the steering wheel is moved quickly
•In sharp turns that cause the vehicle’s
body to sway.
See page 177 for information on the camera’s
limitations.
WARNING
The driver will only be warned once for each
time the wheels cross a marker line. No
alarm will be given if a marker line is
between the wheels.
1A warning will be given even when Increased sensitivity has been selected.

Park assist*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.185 Introduction
The park assist system is designed to assist
you when driving into parking spaces, garages,
etc. It utilizes four ultrasound sensors located
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. An
audible signal and symbols in the audio sys-
tem’s display indicate the distance to the
object.
This system is available in the rear bumper
only, or in both the front and rear bumpers.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a
safety system. This system is designed to
be a supplementary aid when parking the
vehicle. It is not, however, intended to
replace the driver's attention and judge-
ment.
Function
Park assist button
The system is activated automatically when the
vehicle is started. The indicator light in the but-
ton in the center console illuminates when the
system is on.
•The front park assist system is active from
the time the engine is started until the vehi-
cle exceeds a speed of approximately
10 mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the
vehicle is backing up.
•Rear park assist is active when the engine
is running and reverse gear has been
selected.
Activating/deactivatingThe system is activated automatically when the
vehicle is started.

Press the Park assist button on the center
console to temporarily deactivate the sys-
tem(s).
> The indicator light in the button will go
out when the system has been deacti-
vated.
Park assist will be automatically reactivated the
next time the engine is started, or if the button
is pressed (the indicator light in the button will
illuminate).
NOTE
•Front park assist is disengaged auto-
matically when the parking brake is
applied.
•If the vehicle is equipped with front and
rear park assist, both systems will be
deactivated by pressing the button.

Summary
•The camera is activated when the gear
selector is moved to R (this can bechanged in the settings menu) and the
image is shown on the navigation system's
display.
•When backing up, two solid lines are pro-
jected on the screen to show the path that
the vehicle's rear wheels will take. These
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.
•Objects on the ground that are closer than
1 ft (30 centimeters) cannot be detected by
the camera.
•The camera is active for approx.
5 seconds after the gear selector is moved
to R or until the vehicle's speed exceeds
6 mph (10 km/h).
•The optional Park Assist sensors and the
parking camera work together and infor-
mation from the sensors is shown graphi-
cally on the display.
•If the Park Assist* system's sensors detect
a trailer, the camera will zoom in on the
trailer hitch to help position the trailer's
tongue correctly.
•The graphic lines shown on the screen
when the vehicle backs up can be disabled
in the settings menu.
•Automatic or manual zoom can be
selected in the settings menu.
Limitations
Even if a fairly small section of the screen image
appears to be obstructed, this may mean that
a relatively large area behind the vehicle is hid-
den and objects there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories moun-
ted on the tailgate may obstruct the cam-
era's field of view.
Keep in mind
•Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and
snow. Remove ice and snow carefully to
avoid scratching the lens.
•Clean the lens regularly with warm water
and a suitable car washing detergent.
