Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driversupport systems that can provide the driver withactive or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
maintain a set speed
maintain a set time interval to the vehicleahead
help prevent a collision by warning the driverand applying the brakes
park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and others areoptions. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheelresistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases thesteering 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. Whenparking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
NOTE
In some situations, the power steering maybecome 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.
WARNING
While the power steering is working atreduced power, the driver support functionsand systems with steering assistance are notavailable.
In such a situation, the driver display showsthe Power steering failure message, com-bined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.

Stability system Roll StabilityControl
The Roll Stability Control (RSC1) system helpsminimize 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 atwhich 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.

WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control systemESC 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 3
This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw control
This 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 fromspinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC4) 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 impairthe driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist * 5
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA6) is designed to helpstabilize 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 SportMode is activated.

Electronic Stability Control Sportmode
The ESC7 system is always activated and can-not be switched off. However, the driver canselect ESC Sport Mode, which offers moreactive driving characteristics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-functionselected, intervention from ESC is reduced andmore lateral movement is permitted, giving thedriver more control of the vehicle than usual.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, ESC mayseem to be disabled even though the functioncontinues to assist the driver.
NOTE
When the ESC Sport Mode function is
selected, the trailer stabilizer (TSA8) isswitched off.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide maximumtraction if the vehicle gets stuck or is driving on aloose surface such as deep snow or loose sand.
