2. Place the remote key on the key symbol inthe backup reader in the tunnel console's cup holder.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. > The alarm will be disarmed.
Turning off a triggered alarm
–Press the unlock button on the remote key or put the ignition into mode I by turning the
start knob clockwise and then releasing it.
NOTE
• Remember that the alarm is armed when the vehicle is locked.
• The alarm will be triggered if any of thedoors is opened from the inside.
Automatically arming and disarming the alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarmprotection. If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of thedoors or tailgate are opened within two minutes,the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehi-cle will also re-lock. On some markets, the alarm will be automatically armed following a slight delay after the driver'sdoor has been opened and closed without beinglocked. To change this setting:1.
Tap
Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2. Tap

Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that can provide the driver withactive or passive assistance in various situations.
The system can, for example, help the driver maintain a set speed or a set time interval to thevehicle ahead, help prevent a collision by warningthe driver and applying the brakes, or assist thedriver while parking. Some of the systems are standard and others are options. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheelresistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When parking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
NOTE
In some situations, the power steering may become too hot and require temporary cool-ing – during such time the power steering willwork at reduced output and the steeringwheel may feel more difficult to move. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer- ing assistance, the driver display shows amessage as well as a STEERING WHEELsymbol.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.271
WARNING
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functionswith steering assistance are not available. In such a situation, the driver display shows the
Power steering failure or Power
Steering Assist Temporarily Reduced
message, combined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
Changing the level of steering wheel resistance *
To change the level of steering wheel resistance, see the description of the INDIVIDUAL optionunder "Available drive modes" in the "Drivemodes" section. On models not equipped with drive mode con- trols and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheelresistance can instead be set in the center dis-play's Top view under:

Stability system Roll StabilityControl
The Roll Stability Control (RSC 1
) system helps
minimize the risk of a rollover in the event of e.g. a sudden evasive maneuver or if the vehiclebegins to skid.
The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at which the vehicle is leaning and registers anychanges. Using this information, the system cal-culates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is animminent risk of a rollover, Electronic StabilityControl is activated, engine torque is reduced andbrakes are applied to one or more of the wheelsuntil the vehicle has regained stability.

Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC 2
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel when theESC system is intervening. When the ESC has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsingsound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following sub- functions: • Stability control 3
• Spin control and active yaw control
• Engine drag control
• Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
•The Electronic Stability Control system ESC is supplementary driver supportintended to facilitate driving and make itsafer – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning. This function also helps prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface. Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist *5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
6
) is designed to help
stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if thevehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For moreinformation, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE
The TSA function is deactivated if ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

Cruise Control limitations
On steep downgrades, the Speed limiter's brak- ing capacity may not be sufficient and the setmaximum speed may be exceeded. If this hap- pens,
Speed limit exceeded will be displayed in
the instrument panel to alert the driver.
NOTE
A text message on exceeded max. speed is activated if the speed is exceeded by at least3 km/h (ca 2 mph).

Automatic Speed Limiter
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL 18
) function
helps the driver adapt the vehicle's maximum speed to the posted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL 19
) function can be
switched to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL). The Automatic Speed Limiter function uses speed information from the Road Sign Informa- tion function 20
to automatically adapt the vehi-
cle's maximum speed.

WARNING
•The ASL function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• Even if the driver can clearly see thespeed limit sign, the speed informationfrom the Road Sign Information (RSI)function to ASL may be incorrect. In suchcases, the driver must intervene andaccelerate or brake to an appropriatespeed.
• ASL is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
• See also the heading "Road Sign Infor-mation limitations".

Activating/deactivating AutomaticSpeed Limiter
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL 21
) is a sup-
plement to the Speed Limiter (SL 22
) and can be
activated/deactivated.
Activating ASLThe Speed Sign Assist but-
ton is located in the center dis- play's Function view.
To activate the Automatic Speed Limiter: 1. Tap the
Speed Sign Assist button.
> ASL will go into standby mode and a green indicator light will illuminate. A road sign symbol will be displayed in the centerof the speedometer in the instrumentpanel.
2. Pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad.
> ASL will be activated and set to the vehi- cle's current speed.
NOTE
• If the Automatic Speed Limiter function is activated, road sign information is shownin the driver display even if RSI is notactivated.
• To remove road sign information from the driver display, you must deactivate
both
Automatic Speed Limiter and RSI.
• When the Automatic Speed Limiter func- tion is activated but RSI is deactivated, nowarnings are given from RSI. In this situa-tion, settings for RSI cannot be adjustedeither - to be able to adjust settings aswell as receive warnings, RSI must beactivated.
Deactivating ASLTo deactivate the Automatic Speed Limiter:
–Tap the Speed Sign Assist button in Func-
tion view.
> ASL will be deactivated, the indicator light in the button will be GRAY and SL will be activated instead.
WARNING
The vehicle will no longer follow the posted maximum speed after switching from ASL toSL – it then only follows the maximum speedstored in the memory.
