Disarming the alarm without a functioning
remote key
The vehicle can be unlocked and disarmed even
if the remote key is not functioning, e.g. if the
battery is discharged.
1. Open the driver's door using the detachable
key blade.
> This will trigger the alarm. Location of the backup key reader in the cup holder.
2. Place the remote key on the key symbol in
the 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 the
doors is opened from the inside.
Automatically arming and disarming the
alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent
inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarm
protection.
If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key
(and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors 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's
door has been opened and closed without being
locked.
To change this setting:
1.
Tap Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2.

Tap My Car Locking
.
3. Select Passive Arming Deactivation to
temporarily deactivate the function.

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

resistance
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 to
move 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 will
work at reduced output and the steering
wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer-
ing assistance, the driver display shows a
message as well as a STEERING WHEEL
symbol.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.273
WARNINGWhile the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
with 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 option
under "Available drive modes" in the "Drive
modes" section.
On models not equipped with drive mode con-
trols and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheel
resistance can instead be set in the center dis-
play's Top view under:

Steering force
Steering wheel resistance settings cannot be
accessed when turning at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph).

Control
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 vehicle
begins to skid.
The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at
which the vehicle is leaning and registers any
changes. Using this information, the system cal-
culates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is an
imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Stability
Control is activated, engine torque is reduced and
brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels
until the vehicle has regained stability.

274 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 the
ESC system is intervening.
When the ESC has intervened
to apply the brakes, a pulsing
sound 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 support
intended to facilitate driving and make it
safer – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance 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 attempt
to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakes
the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional
power 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 or
using engine braking when driving at low speeds
on 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 the
vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more
information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".
NOTE The TSA function is deactivated if
ESC Sport
Mode is activated.

WARNING•
The ASL function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
• Even if the driver can clearly see the
speed limit sign, the speed information
from the Road Sign Information (RSI)
function to ASL may be incorrect. In such
cases, the driver must intervene and
accelerate or brake to an appropriate
speed.
• ASL is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the

Speed 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 center
of the speedometer in the instrument
panel.
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 shown
in the driver display even if RSI is not
activated.
• 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, no
warnings are given from RSI. In this situa-
tion, settings for RSI cannot be adjusted
either - to be able to adjust settings as
well as receive warnings, RSI must be
activated.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 to
SL – it then only follows the maximum speed
stored in the memory.
