* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.205 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.

General information
The infotainment system consists of radio and
media player features and also makes it pos-
sible to communicate via a cell phone. The
information is displayed on a 7" screen in the
center console. Infotainment functions can be
controlled from the center console or via the
buttons on the steering wheel keypad. On
models equipped with the optional navigation
system, voice commands can also be used to
e.g., set destinations, make calls from a
Bluetooth
Ÿ-connected cell phone, etc.
If the infotainment system was on when the
ignition was switched off, the most recently
used source (
FM1, etc.) will restart the next
time the ignition is put in mode I or higher. The
driver's door must also be closed on vehicles
with keyless drive*.
The infotainment system can be operated for
15 minutes at a time while the engine is
switched off by pressing the On/Off button.
While the engine is being started, the infotain-
ment system will be temporarily interrupted
and will resume when the engine has started.
NOTE
To help avoid excessive battery drain,
remove the remote key from the ignition slot
if the infotainment system is used while the
engine is switched off.

Audio volume and automatic volume
control
The infotainment system compensates for dis-
rupting noises in the passenger compartment
by increasing the volume according to the
speed of the vehicle. The level of sound com-
pensation can be set at low, medium, high or
off. Select the level under Audio settings
Volume compensation.
External audio source volumeIf an external device such as an MP3 player or
an iPod Ÿ is connected to the AUX socket, the
device's volume may be different than the vol-
ume of the internal sound sources such as the
disc player or the radio. If the external sound
source's volume is too high, the quality of the
sound may be impaired. To help prevent this,
adjust the input volume of the external audio
source:
NOTE
Sound quality may be affected if the MP3
player is being charged while the system is
in AUX mode. To help prevent this, avoid
charging the MP3 player in a 12-volt socket
while it is being played.

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.
In such cases, the “-” symbol will be displayed
to the left of the frequency number and a num-
ber will be displayed to the right of the fre-
quency number indicating that the currently
tuned frequency has at least one sub-channel.
Selecting sub-channelsTo listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press
and hold the right arrow key on the center con-
sole or on the steering wheel keypad for
approximately 1 second. To go back to the
main channel, press and hold the left arrow key
on the center console or on the steering wheel
keypad for approximately 1 second. To go to
subchannel 2 (if available), press and hold the
right arrow key on the center console or on the
steering wheel keypad for approximately
1 second.
If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main
channel, pressing and holding the left arrow
key for approximately 1 second will tune to the
next lower radio frequency.
NOTE
•When the radio has gone into HD mode,
it may take several seconds before the
">" symbol (if the current frequency has
any sub-channels) is displayed to the
left of the frequency. Pressing and hold-
ing the arrow keys for approximately
1 second before the main-/sub-channel
icon is displayed will cause the radio to
tune to the next available radio station,
not to the current station's sub-chan-
nels.
•When you are no longer in broadcasting
range of the currently tuned sub-chan-
nel,
No reception will be displayed.
The radio will then be muted and it will
be necessary to tune to or search for a
new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets,
see page 223 for information on storing sta-
tions.
If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it
may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this button while
you are out of digital range of the transmitter,
No reception will be displayed.

Listening to satellite radio
The SiriusXM
E satellite system consists of a
number of high elevation satellites in geosyn-
chronous orbit.
NOTE
•The digital signals from the satellites are
line-of-sight, which means that physical
obstructions such as bridges, tunnels,
etc, may temporarily interfere with sig-
nal reception.
•Avoid any obstructions, such as metal-
lic objects transported on roof racks or
in a ski box, or other antennas that may
impede signals from the SiriusXM
