Speed-dependent steering wheel
resistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases
the steering wheel resistance in pace with
the vehicle's speed, which can help give the
driver an enhanced feeling of control and sta-
bility.
Steering is stiffer on highways. When parking
and at low speeds, it will be easier to move
the steering wheel.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of
driver support systems that can provide the
driver with active or passive assistance in var-
ious situations.

Changing the level of steering wheel
resistance*
In INDIVIDUAL drive mode, the level of steer-
ing wheel resistance can be adjusted.
When the system has inter-
vened to apply the brakes, a
pulsing sound may be heard
and the vehicle may accelerate more slowly
than expected when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.

Trailer Stability Assist* (p. 436)
This function can also help prevent the wheels
from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC3) can help prevent
inadvertent 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.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-
tion may seem to be disabled even though it
continues to assist the driver.
Trailer Stability Assist*4
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA5) is designed to
help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if
the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the
trailer stabilizer (TSA7) is switched off.
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if ESC
Sport Mode is activated.
ESC Sport Mode also helps provide more
traction, even if the vehicle gets stuck or is
driving on a loose surface such as deep snow
or loose sand.

vehicles ahead moving in the same direction
as your vehicle. No distance information is
provided for oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles.
Stability system
The Roll Stability Control (RSC10) system
helps reduce the risk of a rollover in the event
of e.g. a sudden evasive maneuver or if the
vehicle begins to skid.
The Distance Alert function can help the
driver become aware if the time interval to
the vehicle in front is too short. The vehicle
must be equipped with a head-up display* in
order to display Distance Alert.
The system monitors the lateral angle at which
the vehicle is leaning and registers any
changes. Using this information, the system
calculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is
an imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Sta-
bility Control is activated, engine torque is
reduced and brakes are applied to one or more
of the wheels until the vehicle has regained
stability.
Visual warnings on the windshield may be
difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-
light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,
or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is
not looking straight ahead.
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap-
tive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist* is
active.
WARNING
The vehicle’s stability systems help
improve vehicle safety but do not replace
the driver’s responsibility for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner. Speed and driving
style should always be adapted to the cur-
rent road, traffic and weather conditions.
Posted speed limits should always be
respected.

WARNING
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, a
symbol will be displayed on the windshield as
long as the time interval to the vehicle ahead
is shorter than the set time interval. However,
the Show Driver Support function must be
activated under Settings in the vehicle's menu

Adaptive Cruise Control* limitations
(p. 285)
A summary of how Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC22) is controlled using the left-side steer-
ing wheel keypad and how the function is
shown in the display.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to
regulate speed smoothly. The driver must
apply the brakes in situations requiring imme-
diate braking. For example, when there are
great differences in speed between vehicles or
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due to
limitations in the radar sensor, braking may
occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Symbols and messages for Adaptive
Cruise Control* (p. 287)
Collision risk warning from driver support
(p. 298)
Setting time interval to the vehicle ahead
(p. 301)
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow
a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain
a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver.
If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead, it will instead maintain the speed set
by the driver. This will also happen if the speed
of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed for
your vehicle.
