Locking/unlocking – from the outside
The remote key (p. 139) is used to lock/unlock all of the doors and the trunk at the sametime. Different settings for unlocking the vehi-cle can be selected, see Remote key – func-tions (p. 142). Before the vehicle can be locked from the outside with the remote key, the driver's doormust be closed. If the trunk or any other dooris open, it will be locked and the alarm will bearmed.
NOTE
Be sure the remote key is outside of the vehicle before the other doors/trunk areclosed to help avoid locking the remoteinside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional keyless drive system, all doors/trunk must beclosed before the vehicle can be locked. The first press on the unlock button unlocks the driver's door and a second press unlocksthe other doors and the trunk (see alsoremote key and key blade (p. 139)). This set-ting can be changed in the menu system. SeeMY CAR

Active chassis* (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates thecharacteristics of the shock absorbers so thatthe vehicle's driving characteristics can beadjusted. There are three settings: Comfort,Sport and Advanced.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when theengine is switched off is activated the nexttime the engine is started.
ComfortComfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lowerrpm. This mode is particularly suitable forlong-distance highway driving. The indicatorlight in the button will be on when this modeis selected.
SportIn this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steeringresponse is more immediate. The transmis-sion shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driv-ing. The indicator light in the button will be onto indicate that Sport mode has beenselected.
AdvancedIn this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gearshifting is done at high rpm in each gear fordynamic and active driving.

Stability system – introduction
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system consists of a number of functions designed tohelp reduce wheel spin, counteract skiddingand to generally help improve directional sta-bility.
A pulsating sound will be audiblewhen the system is actively operat-ing and is normal. Acceleration willalso be slightly slower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for oper- ating the vehicle in a safe manner inaccordance with current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions:
• Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
• Engine Drag Control
• Corner Traction Control
Traction Control (TC)This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin at low speeds by transferringpower from a drive wheel that begins to losetraction to the wheel on the opposite side ofthe vehicle (on the same axle).
