* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.115
General information on climate control
The car is equipped with electronic climate
control (p. 121). The climate control systemcools or heats as well as dehumidifies the airin the passenger compartment.
NOTE
Air conditioning (AC) (p. 124) can be switched off, but to ensure the best possi-ble climate comfort in the passenger com-partment, and to prevent the windowsfrom misting, it should always be switchedon.
To bear in mind
• To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows and sunroof*should be closed.
• Total airing function (p. 166) opens/closes all side windows simultaneouslyand can be used for example to quicklyair the car during hot weather.
• Remove ice and snow from the climatecontrol system air intake (the grillebetween the bonnet and the windscreen).
• In warm weather, condensation from theair conditioning may drip under the car.This is normal.
• When the engine requires full power, e.g.for full acceleration or driving uphill with atrailer, the air conditioning can be tempo-rarily switched off. There may then be a temporary increase in temperature in thepassenger compartment.
• Remove misting on the insides of the win-dows primarily by using the defrosterfunction (p. 125). To reduce the risk ofmisting, keep the windows clean and usewindow cleaner.
Cars with Start/Stop*With an auto-stopped (p. 279) engine certain equipment may have its function temporarilyreduced, e.g. climate control fan speed (p.123).
Cars with ECO*Certain equipment may have its function tem-porarily reduced or deactivated when theECO (p. 288) function is activated, e.g. the airconditioning (p. 124).
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, sev- eral parameters in the climate control sys-tem's settings are changed, and severalelectricity consumer functions are reduced- a press of the
AC button resets the cli-
mate control system, but then withreduced AC function.

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).

If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driverdoes not brake, then cruise control uses thewarning lamp and warning sound from theCollision warning system (p. 212) in order toalert the driver that immediate intervention isrequired.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when wearing sun-glasses.
WARNING
Cruise Control warns only of vehicles which the radar sensor has detected.Hence the warning may not be given, or itmay be given with a certain delay. Do notwait for a warning without braking when sorequired.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadBear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving onlevel road surfaces. It may have difficulty inkeeping the correct distance from the vehicleahead when driving on steep downhill slopes,with a heavy load or with a trailer - in whichcase, be extra attentive and ready to slowdown.

Display screen view - showing an obstacle left front and right rear. The centre console's display screen shows an overview of the relationship between thecar and detected obstacle. Marked sectors show which of the four sen- sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to thecar symbol a selected sector box is, theshorter the distance between the car and adetected obstacle. The frequency of the signal increases the shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front ofor behind the car. Other sound from the audiosystem is muted automatically. When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is constant and the active sensor's field nearestthe car is filled in. If the detected obstacle iswithin the distance for the constant tone bothbehind and in front of the car, then the tonesounds alternately from the loudspeakers.
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low barriers may be in the "signal shadow"and are then temporarily not detected bythe sensors - the pulsating tone may thenunexpectedly stop instead of changingover to the expected constant tone. The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks.
• In such situations, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car par-ticularly slowly or stop the currentparking manoeuvre - there may be ahigh risk of damage to vehicles orother objects since the sensors aretemporarily unable to function opti-mally.

Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's display screen indicatethe distance to the detected obstacle.
The distance covered to the rear of the car is about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles behind comes from one of the rearloudspeakers. Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged. When reversing with e.g. a trailer on the tow- bar, rear parking assistance is switched offautomatically - otherwise the sensors wouldreact to the trailer.

Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's display screen indicatethe distance to the detected obstacle. The parking assistance system is automati- cally activated when the engine is started -the switch's On/Off lamp is illuminated. Ifparking assistance is switched off with thebutton, the lamp goes out.
The distance covered in front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles in front comes from one of the frontloudspeakers. Front park assist is active up to approx. 10 km/h. The lamp in the button isilluminated in order to indicate that the sys-tem is activated. When the speed is below10 km/h the system is reactivated.
NOTE
Front parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or
P
mode is selected in a car with an auto-matic gearbox.
IMPORTANT
When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors -the auxiliary lamps may then be perceivedas an obstacle.

Park assist camera
The parking camera is an assist system and is activated when reverse gear is engaged (canbe changed in the settings menu (p. 246)). The camera image is shown on the centre console's screen.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's electrical system, the protrusion of thetowbar is included when the functionmeasures the parking space.
WARNING
• The parking camera serves as an aid. It does not relieve the driver of respon-sibility when reversing.
• The camera has blind spots, whereobstacles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of people and animals in thevicinity of the car.
Function and operation
CAM
button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car and if something appears from the sides. The camera shows a wide area behind the car and part of the bumper and any towbar. Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly - this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer to the car than they appear to be onthe screen.
If another view is active the parking camera system takes over automatically and thecamera image is displayed on the screen. When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken lines are shown graphically which illustrate where the car's rear wheels will roll with thecurrent steering wheel angle, this facilitatestight parking, reversing into tight spaces andfor hitching a trailer. The car’s approximateexternal dimensions are illustrated by meansof two dashed lines. These park assist linescan be switched off in the settings menu. If the car is also equipped with parking assis- tance sensors* then their information is dis-played graphically as coloured fields in orderto illustrate the distance to detected obsta-cles, see the heading "Cars with reversingsensors" later in the text. The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after reverse gear has been disengaged or until thecar's speed exceeds 10 km/h forward or35 km/h backward.
