Average speedAverage speed is calculated from the last
resetting. Reset using RESET.
InstantaneousCurrent fuel consumption is calculated every
second. The information on the display is
updated every couple of seconds. When the
car is stationary, "

AverageAverage fuel consumption is calculated from
the last resetting. Reset using RESET.
NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if
a fuel-driven supplementary and/or parking
heater* has been used.
Km to empty tankThe calculation is based on the average fuel
consumption over the last 30 km and the
remaining driveable fuel quantity. The display
shows the approximate distance that can be
driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the
tank.
An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance. For more information
on how fuel consumption can be influenced,
see page 11.
No guaranteed range remains when the display
shows "
---- km to empty tank". Refuel as
soon as possible.
NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if
the driving style has been changed.

DSTC – Stability and traction control system
04
168* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on DSTC
The stability and traction control system, DSTC
(Dynamic Stability & Traction Control) helps the
driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's
traction.
The activation of the system during braking
may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car
may accelerate slower than expected when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
Active Yaw ControlThe function limits the driving and brake force
of the wheels individually in order to stabilise
the car.
Spin ControlThe function prevents the driving wheels from
spinning against the road surface during accel-
eration.
Traction control systemThe function is active at low speed and trans-
fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-
ning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control - EDCEDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-
tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or
engine braking when driving in low gears on
slippery road surfaces.Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,
amongst other things, impair the driver's ability
to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control – CTCCTC compensates for understeer and allows
higher than normal acceleration in a bend with-
out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an
arcing motorway entrance road to quickly
reach the prevailing traffic speed.
Trailer Stability Assist* - TSAThe function serves to stabilise the car and
trailer combination if it begins to snake, see
page 288.
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver
selects Sport mode.
Operation
Selection of level - Sport modeThe DSTC system is always activated - it can-
not be deactivated.However, the driver can select the Sport mode,
which allows for a more active driving experi-
ence. In Sport mode the system detects
whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel
movements and cornering are more active than
in normal driving and then allows controlled
skidding with the rear section up to a certain
level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.
If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing
the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system
intervenes and stabilises the car.
With Sport mode, maximum traction is
obtained if the car has become stuck, or when
driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep
snow.
Proceed as follows to select Sport mode:
1.
Press the centre console button MY CAR
and search in the display screen's menu
system and locate My V60
DSTC. (For
information on the menu system, see
page 144).
2. Uncheck the box and back out of the menu
system with EXIT.
> The system then allows a more sporty
driving style.
The Sport mode is active until the driver dese-
lects it or until the engine is switched off - after
the engine is started the next time the DSTC
system is back in its normal mode again.

A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the cruise control setting - the car returns
to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.

•the foot brake is used
•speed falls below approx. 30 km/h
•the clutch pedal is depressed
•the gear selector is moved to neutral posi-
tion (automatic gearbox)
•the driver maintains a speed higher than
the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.

Speed limiter*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.173 General information on the speed
limiter
A speed limiter (Speed Limiter) can be regar-
ded as a reverse cruise control - the driver reg-
ulates the speed using the accelerator pedal
but is prevented from accidentally exceeding a
pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
Operation
Steering wheel keypad and display.
Speed limiter - On/Off.
Standby mode ceases and stored speed
resumes - each extra press gives +1 km/h.
Standby mode.
Activate and adjust the maximum speed
(each press gives +/-5 km/h).
Stored maximum speed (in brackets =
Standby mode).
Switch on and activateWhen the speed limiter is
active the display will show its
symbol in combination with
the set maximum speed.
Selection and storage of the
highest possible speed in the
memory can be made both during a journey
and while stationary.
While driving1. When the car is moving at the desired high-
est possible speed: Press the steering
wheel button
to switch on the speed
limiter.
> The symbol for the speed limiter is illu-
minated on the instrument panel dis-
play.
2. Press one of the steering wheel buttons
or until the instrument panel display
shows the desired maximum speed.
> The speed limiter is then active and the
display (5) shows the maximum speed
selected and the maximum speed
stored in the memory.
When stationary1.
Press the steering wheel button to
switch on the speed limiter.
2.
Scroll with the
button until the instru-
ment panel display shows the desired
maximum speed.
> The speed limiter is then active and the
display (5) shows the maximum speed
selected and the maximum speed
stored in the memory.
Temporary deactivation - standby modeTo temporarily deactivate the speed limiter and
set it in standby mode:
–
Press
.
> The display shows the stored maximum
speed in brackets (5) and the driver can
temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is re-activated by one
press on
at which the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Temporary deactivation with the
accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be set in standby
mode with the accelerator pedal, e.g. for rap-
idly accelerating the car out of a situation:

–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The display shows the stored maximum
speed in brackets (5) and the driver can
temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is automatically re-
activated after the release of the accel-
erator pedal and the car's speed is
slowed down to below the selected/
stored maximum speed - the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Alarm for speed exceededOn steep roads the engine braking effect may
be inadequate and the selected maximum
speed exceeded. The driver is alerted about
this with an acoustic signal.
The signal is active until the driver has slowed
to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds
if the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the last
half minute.
DeactivateTo deactivate the speed limiter:–
Press the steering wheel button
.
> The display's symbol for the speed lim-
iter and the set speed (5) are cleared.
The selected and stored speed are thus
deleted from the memory and cannot be
resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator
pedal to choose a speed without limita-
tion.
