Speed-dependent steering force Speed related power steering causes the steer- ing wheel force to increase with the speed of thecar in order to give the driver enhanced sensitiv-ity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer. When parking and at low speed steering is light andrequires only a slight effort.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to be tempo-rarily cooled - during this time the powersteering operates with reduced power andturning the steering wheel may then be per-ceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer- ing assistance, the driver display shows amessage.
Change the steering force level *To select the steering force level, go to the "Drive modes" section and see the description at thealternative INDIVIDUAL under the heading"Selectable drive modes". For the car models without a drive mode control with its INDIVIDUAL option, the selection ofsteering force is instead made via the centre dis-play's top view and the following search path:

Roll Stability Control Roll Stability Control (RSC) is a stabiliser sys- tem that minimises the risk of overturning, forexample during sudden evasive manoeuvres or ifthe car skids.
The RSC system registers if and how much the car's lateral inclination changes. This informationis used to calculate the risk of the car overturn-ing. If the car is at risk, its electronic stability con-trol system engages, the engine torque isreduced and one or more wheels are braked untilthe car has regained its stability.
WARNING
Under normal driving conditions, the RSC sys- tem improves the car's road safety, but thismust not be taken as a reason to increasespeed. Always follow the normal precautionsfor safe driving.

Distance Warning *
The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicleahead becomes too short.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to thevehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. Nodistance information is provided for oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the presetvalue - the speed of the driver's vehicle is notaffected.

Limitations of Distance Warning *
The Distance warning (Distance Alert) function may have limitations in certain situations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia- tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun-glasses, could mean that the warning light inthe windscreen cannot be seen. Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar unit's capacity to detect vehicles infront. The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. Thiscould mean that the warning lamp illuminatesat a shorter distance than the setting or thatthe warning is temporarily absent. Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance thanthat set due to limitations in sensor range.
NOTE
The function uses the car's radar unit, which has some general limitations, see the "Limita-tions for radar unit" section.

Adaptive cruise control
*
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed combined with a pre-selected timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
An adaptive cruise control provides a more relax- ing driving experience on long journeys on motor-ways and long straight main roads in smooth traf-fic flows.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead 5
.
The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera andradar unit detects a slower vehicle in front of thecar, the speed is adapted automatically via thepreset time interval to the vehicle. When the road

WARNING
The adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles which its radar unit has detected -hence a warning may not be given, or it maybe given with a certain delay. Do not wait for awarning without braking when so required.

Setting the time interval for the adaptive cruise control *
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control -ACC) can be set to different time inter-vals.
Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selectedand shown in the driver displayas 1-5 horizontal lines - themore lines the longer the timeinterval. One line representsabout 1 second to the vehicle
in front, 5 lines represents about 3 seconds. The same symbol is also shown when the Dis- tance Warning function is activated.
NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display shows two cars, ACC is following the vehicle in frontat a pre-set time interval. When only one car is shown, there is no vehi- cle within a reasonable distance ahead.
Control for time interval.
Decrease time interval
Increase time interval
Distance indicator
–Press the steering wheel button (1) or (2) to increase or decrease the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur- rent time interval.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time inter- val to vary significantly in certain situations inorder to allow the car to follow the vehicle in frontsmoothly and comfortably. At low speed, whenthe distances are short, the adaptive cruise con-trol increases the time interval slightly. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action if anyunforeseen problem should arise.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations. If the adaptive cruise control does not appear to react when activated, this may be becausethe time distance to the vehicle in front is pre-venting an increase in speed. The higher the speed the longer the calcula- ted distance in metres for a given time inter-val.

–Activate the direction indicator. Use the left direction indicator in a car with the steering wheel on the left, or the rightdirection indicator in a car with the steeringwheel on the right.
> Overtaking assistance is started.
LimitationsWhen using Overtaking Assistance the driver should be prepared for sudden changes in condi-tions. In some conditions Overtaking Assistancecan cause unwanted acceleration. Some situations should be avoided for this rea- son. Examples of such situations are:
• the car is approaching an exit road in orderto turn off in the same direction that is nor-mally used for overtaking
• the vehicle in front slows before your car hasentered the overtaking lane
• traffic in the overtaking lane is slowing
• a car designed for right-hand traffic is beingdriven in a country with left-hand traffic (orvice versa).
Situations of this kind can be avoided by tempo-rarily setting ACC or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Change of target and automatic braking with the Adaptive CruiseControl
In combination with automatic gearbox, the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control- ACC ) has functionality for change of targetand braking at certain speeds.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov- ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptivecruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of
approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationaryvehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignorethe stationary vehicle and instead select thestored speed.
• The driver must then intervene him/ herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set in standby mode: • when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph) and the adaptive cruise control is uncertainwhether the target object is a stationary vehi-cle or some other object, such as a speedbump.
• when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)and the vehicle ahead turns off so the adap-tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle tofollow.
Automatic brakingFor shorter stops in connection with inching inslow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in
