Automatic angling of the door mirror when parking 26
When reverse gear is engaged the door mirror is automatically angled down so that thedriver can see the side of the road whenparking for example. When reverse gear isdisengaged the mirror automatically returnsto its original position after a short time. The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p.103).
Automatic retraction when locking 26When the car is locked/unlocked with theremote control key the door mirrors are auto-matically retracted/extended. The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p.103).
Resetting to neutralMirrors that have been moved out of positionby an external force must be reset electricallyto the neutral position for electric retracting/extending to work correctly:
1. Retract the mirrors with the
L and R but-
tons.
2. Fold them out again with the L and R but-
tons. 3. Repeat the above procedure as neces-
sary.
The mirrors are now reset in neutral position.
Automatic dimming*For the door mirrors to be fitted with this function requires that the interior rearviewmirror also has automatic dimming, see Rear-view mirror - interior (p. 96).
Retractable power door mirrors*The mirrors can be retracted for parking/driv-ing in narrow spaces:
1. Depress the L and R buttons simultane-
ously (key position must be at least I).
2. Release them after approximately 1 second. The mirrors automatically stop in the fully retractedposition.
Fold out the mirrors by pressing down the L
and R buttons simultaneously. The mirrors
automatically stop in the fully extended posi-tion.
Home safe and approach lightingThe lamp on the door mirrors illuminateswhen approach lighting (p. 89) or home safelighting (p. 89) is selected.

Active chassis - Four C*
Active chassis "Four-C" (Continously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates thecharacteristics of the shock absorbers so thatthe car's driving characteristics can beadjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,
Sport and Advanced .
ComfortThis setting means that the car is perceivedas being more comfortable on rough anduneven road surfaces. Shock absorption issoft and the movement of the body is smoothand gentle.
SportThis setting means that the car is perceivedas being more sporty and is recommendedfor more active driving. Steering response isfaster than in the Comfort mode. Shockabsorption is harder and the body follows theroad in order to reduce rolling during corner-ing.
AdvancedThis setting is only recommended on veryeven and smooth road surfaces. The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi- mum roadholding and rolling in bends is fur-ther minimised.
Operation
Control buttons.
The required chassis setting is selected using the centre console buttons. The setting usedwhen the engine was switched off is re-acti-vated when the engine is next started. Theexception is Advanced - it is restarted asSport.
Stability and traction control system (DSTC)
The stability and traction control system, DSTC (Dynamic Stability & Traction Control),helps the driver to avoid skidding andimproves the car's traction. The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. Thecar may accelerate slower than expectedwhen the accelerator pedal is depressed. The system consists of the following func- tions: • Active Yaw Control
• Spin Control
• Traction control system
• Engine drag control - EDC
• Corner Traction Control - CTC
• Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA
Active Yaw ControlThe function checks the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order tostabilise the car.
Spin ControlThe function prevents the driving wheels fromspinning against the road surface duringacceleration.

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 (EDC)EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down orengine braking when driving in low gears onslippery road surfaces. Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's abil-ity to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control (CTC)*CTC compensates for understeer and allowshigher than normal acceleration in a bendwithout wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. onan arcing motorway entrance road to quicklyreach the prevailing traffic speed.
Trailer Stability Assist 1Trailer stability assist (p. 312) function is tostabilise the car and trailer combination if itbegins to snake. For more information, seeDriving with a trailer (p. 306).
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Stability and traction control system (DSTC) - operation
The stability and traction control system (p. 175) (DSTC - Dynamic Stability & TractionControl), helps the driver to avoid skiddingand improves the car's traction.
Selection of level - Sport modeThe stability and traction control system isalways activated - it cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select the
Sport
mode, which allows for a more active driving experience. In Sport mode the system
detects whether the accelerator pedal, steer-ing wheel movements and cornering are moreactive than in normal driving and then allowscontrolled skidding with the rear section up toa certain level before it intervenes and stabil-ises the car. If the driver interrupts a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the sta-bility and traction control system intervenesand 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 ordeep snow. Sport mode is selected in the menu system
MY CAR. For a description of the menu sys- tem, see MY CAR (p. 103).

The
Sport mode is active until the driver

Cruise control* - managing speed
The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed. It ispossible to activate, set or change the speed.
Activating and setting the speedTo enable cruise control:
• Press the steering wheel button
> The cruise control symbol in the com-
bined instrument panel changes from WHITE to GREY and shows that thecruise control is in standby mode.
To activate cruise control:
• At the required speed - press the steering wheel button
or .
> The current speed is stored in the mem- ory and the combined instrument panel's marking (5) is illuminated/turns WHITE atthe selected speed.
NOTE
Cruise Control cannot be enabled at speeds below 30 km/h.
Changing the speedTo change the stored speed: • Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: •
Hold down the button and release it atthe required speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the carreturns to the set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held depressed for several minutes then itis blocked and deactivated. To be able toreactivate Cruise Control, the car must bestopped and the engine restarted.

Cruise control* temporary deactivation and standby mode
The cruise control (CC – Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain an even speed. Thefunction can be temporarily deactivated andset in standby mode.
Temporary deactivation - standby modeTo temporarily disengage cruise control andset it in standby mode:
• Press the steering wheel button
.
> The combined instrument panel's mark- ing (5) and the symbol (6) change colour from WHITE to GREY.
Automatic standby modeCruise control is temporarily disengaged andset in standby mode if:
• wheels lose traction
• the foot brake is used
• speed falls below approx. 30 km/h

• brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speedAdaptive cruise control in standby mode is reactivated with one press on the steering wheel button
- the speed is then set to the
last stored speed.
NOTE
A marked speed increase may occur once the speed has been resumed by selecting

Adaptive cruise control* - overtaking another vehicle
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed and a safe distance from the vehi-cle ahead. When the car is following another vehicle and the driver indicates an impending overtaking manoeuvre with the direction indicator 11
, the
adaptive cruise control helps to briefly accel- erate the car towards the vehicle in front. This function is active at speeds above 70 km/h.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be acti- vated in more situations other than duringovertaking, e.g. when a direction indicatoris used to indicate a change of lane or exitto another road - the car will then acceler-ate briefly.
