Adapting driving characteristics
05
226* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Active chassis - Four-C*
Active chassis, Four-C (Continously Controlled
Chassis Concept), regulates the characteris-
tics of the shock absorbers so that the car's
driving characteristics can be adjusted. There
are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
ComfortThis setting means that the car is perceived as
being more comfortable on rough and uneven
road surfaces. Shock absorption is soft and the
movement of the body is smooth and gentle.
SportThis setting means that the car is perceived as
being more sporty and is recommended for
more active driving. Steering response is faster
than in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption is
harder and the body follows the road in order
to reduce rolling during cornering.
AdvancedThis setting is only recommended on very even
and smooth road surfaces.
The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi-
mum roadholding and rolling in bends is further
minimised.
Operation
Chassis settings.
Use the buttons in the centre console to
change setting. The setting in use when the
engine is switched off is activated next time the
engine is started.
Speed related power steering*
Steering force increases with the speed of the
car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. The
steering is firmer and more immediate on
motorways. Steering is light and requires no
extra effort when parking and at low speed.
The driver can choose between three different
levels of steering force for road responsiveness
or steering sensitivity. Go to the menu system
MY CAR and locate Settings
Car settings
Steering wheel force and select Low,
Medium or High.
For a description of the menu system, see
page 202. This menu cannot be accessed
while the car is in motion.

06 Infotainment system
General information on infotainment
06
234* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The infotainment system consists of radio,
media player, TV* and the facility to communi-
cate with mobile phone*. Information is pre-
sented on a 5 or 7-inch* colour screen in the
upper section of the centre console. Functions
can be controlled via buttons in the steering
wheel, in the centre console under the colour
screen or via a remote control*. A mobile phone
can also be controlled with voice recognition in
certain cases.
If the Infotainment System is active when the
engine is switched off then it is automatically
activated the next time the key is inserted into
key position I or higher, and it continues with
the same source (e.g. radio) as before the
engine was switched off (the driver's door must
be closed on cars with Keyless systems*).
The infotainment system can be used for 15
minutes at a time without the remote control
key being in the ignition switch by pressing the
On/Off button.
When the car is being started the infotainment
system is switched off temporarily and contin-
ues when the engine has started.
NOTE
Remove the remote control key from the
ignition switch if the infotainment system is
used when the engine is switched off. This
is to avoid discharging the battery unnec-
essarily.
