Trip computer – Supplementary information
General information for both Analog and Digital trip computer functions.
Average fuel consumptionFuel consumption since the last time this func- tion was reset.
Average speedThe vehicle's average speed since the last timethis function was reset.
Current fuel consumptionCurrent fuel consumption is calculated approxi-mately once a second. When the vehicle is mov-ing at low speed, fuel consumption is displayedper unit of time. At higher speeds, it is displayedin terms of distance. Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the heading "Changing units".
Distance to emptyThis function shows the approximate distancethat can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. When
Distance to empty shows "----",
there is very little useable fuel remaining in that tank; refuel as soon as possible. The calculationis based on average fuel consumption during thelast 20 miles (30 km) of driving and the amountof fuel remaining in the tank (the accuracy of thisfigure may vary if your driving style changes). An economical driving style will generally increasethis distance. See Economical driving (p. 284) for information about driving economically.
Digital speed display
*Speed is expressed in the unit not used by theinstrument panel's speedometer e.g., if the nor-mal speedometer is in mph, the trip computer willdisplay in the speed in km/h and vice versa.

Active chassis * (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristicsof the shock absorbers so that the vehicle's driv-ing characteristics can be adjusted. There arethree settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine isswitched off is activated the next time the engineis started.
Comfort
Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm. Thismode is particularly suitable for long-distancehighway driving. The indicator light in the buttonwill be on when this mode is selected.
Sport
In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steering response is moreimmediate. The transmission shifts up at higherrpm for sportier driving. The indicator light in thebutton will be on to indicate that Sport mode hasbeen selected.
Advanced
In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gear shifting isdone at high rpm in each gear for dynamic andactive driving.

Stability system – introduction The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system consists of a number of functions designed tohelp reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding andto generally help improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and isnormal. Acceleration will also beslightly slower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith 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 transferring power from adrive wheel that begins to lose traction to thewheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on thesame axle).

Adaptive Cruise Control – setting speed
Setting a speedOnce ACC has been put in standby mode:
Controls and display
Put in active mode and set a speed (each additional press increases/decreases speedby 1 mph (approximately 2 km/h))
• Press
or (4).
> The set speed, for example 60 mph (5), will be magnified for several seconds and the frame around the speed will change colors from white to green to indicate that this
speed has been stored (set).
When this symbol has changed colorsfrom white to green , ACC is in active
mode and the vehicle will maintain the
set speed.
This symbol indicates that you are approaching a vehicleahead. ACC will switch from maintain- ing a set speed to maintaining
a set distance from that vehi-
cle.
When this happens, a speed range will be indicated on the
speedometer: The higher speed (the cur-
rently set speed (5)) will be marked in green.
The lower speed in the range is the speed of the
vehicle ahead.
Changing the set speed
• After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by briefly pressing the
or buttons. Each time one of
these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's speed changes by 5 mph or 5 km/h. If the speed isincreased by pressing the accelerator pedal,the vehicle's speed when the button ispressed will be set.
• Press and hold one of these buttons toincrease/decrease the speed in 1-mph or 1-km/h increments. Release the button whenyou have reached the desired speed.
NOTE
•
If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control but- tons is pressed for more than approxi-mately one minute, ACC will be deacti-vated. The engine must then be switchedoff and restarted to reset ACC.
• In some situations Adaptive Cruise Con- trol cannot be put in active mode.

Controls and display
Decrease/increase time interval
The set time interval to vehicles ahead can be increased by pressing
and decreased by
pressing
. The current time interval is shown
briefly in the display following adjustment. Different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel
2
as 1–5 hori-
zontal bars. The greater the number of bars, the longer thetime interval. One bar repre-sents a time interval of approxi-
mately 1 second; 5 bars is approximately3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
• Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases the time intervalslightly. In order to follow the vehicle ahead assmoothly as possible, ACC allows the time inter-val to vary considerably in certain situations.
WARNING
• Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
• A short time interval gives the driver lim-ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-tion occurs in traffic.
