LOCKS AND ALARM

* Option/accessory.

268

Deactivate the alarm

Unlock and disarm the car alarm as follows:

•

press the remote control key's unlock button

•

grip one of the door handles

•

push on the tailgate's rubberised pressure
plate

Switching off a triggered alarm

–

Press the remote control key's unlock button
or set the car in ignition position I by turning
the start knob clockwise and then releasing.

NOTE

•

Remember that the alarm is activated
when the car is locked.

•

If any of the doors are opened from the
inside then the alarm is triggered.

Alarm signals

When the alarm has been triggered, the following
happens:

•

A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off.

•

The direction indicators flash for 5 minutes
or until the alarm is switched off.

If the cause of alarm activation is not rectified,
the alarm cycle is repeated up to 10 times

Lock and alarm indicator

A red LED on the instrument panel indicates the
alarm system's status:

•

LED not lit – alarm not armed.

•

The LED flashes once every other second –
alarm is armed.

•

After the alarm has been disarmed, the LED
flashes rapidly for a maximum of 30 seconds
or until ignition position I has been selected
by turning the start knob clockwise and
releasing it - the alarm has been triggered.

Reduced alarm level

Reduced guard means that the movement and tilt
detectors can be temporarily deactivated.

Switch off the movement and tilt detectors in
order to avoid accidental triggering of the alarm -
e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during trans-
port on a car train or car ferry. The procedure is
the same as with the temporary disengagement
of the "Deadlock" function.

Press the

Reduced guard

button in the centre display's
function view in order to switch
off the movement and tilt
detectors temporarily.

Automatic arming/rearming of the

alarm

Automatic rearming of the alarm prevents the car
being left with the alarm disarmed unintention-
ally.

If the car is unlocked with the remote control key
(which disarms the alarm) but none of the doors
or the tailgate is opened within two minutes, then
the alarm is automatically re-armed. The car is
relocked at the same time.

In certain markets, the alarm is re-armed auto-
matically after a certain delay after the driver's
door has been opened and closed without being
locked.

Speed-dependent steering force

Speed related power steering causes the steer-
ing wheel force to increase with the speed of the
car in order to give the driver enhanced sensitiv-
ity.

On motorways the steering feels firmer. When
parking and at low speed steering is light and
requires 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 power
steering operates with reduced power and
turning 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 a
message.

Change the steering force level

To select the steering force level, go to the "Drive
modes" section and see the description at the
alternative INDIVIDUAL under the heading
"Selectable drive modes".

For the car models without a drive mode control
with its INDIVIDUAL option, the selection of
steering force is instead made via the centre dis-
play's top view and the following search path:

Settings

Drive Modes

Steering force

Steering force selection cannot be accessed dur-
ing a turn if the speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).

Drive modes (p. 425)

Stability system RSC

The stability system RSC minimises the risk of
overturning, for example during a sudden evasive
manoeuvre or if the car skids.

The RSC system registers if and how much the
car's lateral inclination changes. This information
is 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 is
reduced and one or more wheels are braked until
the car has regained its stability.

WARNING

Under normal driving conditions, the RSC sys-

tem improves the car's road safety, but this

must not be taken as a reason to increase

speed. Always follow the normal precautions

for safe driving.

Electronic Stability Control ESC

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps the
driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's
traction.

The activation of the ESC sys-
tem during braking may be
noticed as a throbbing sound.
The car may accelerate slower
than expected when the accel-
erator pedal is depressed.

WARNING

•

The stability system ESC is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to facilitate
driving and make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgement. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appropri-
ate speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

The ESC system consists of the following func-
tions:

•

Active Yaw Control

•

Spin Control

•

Traction control system

•

Engine Drag Control

•

Trailer stability assist

Active Yaw Control

The function checks the driving and brake force
of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the
car.

Spin Control

The function prevents the driving wheels from
spinning against the road surface during acceler-
ation.

Traction control system

The function is active at low speed and transfers
power from the driving wheel that is spinning to
the one that is not.

Engine Drag Control

Engine Drag Control (EDC

) prevents involuntary

wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine

braking when driving in low gear on slippery road
surfaces.

Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,
amongst other things, impair the driver's ability to
steer the car.

Trailer stability assist

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA

) stabilises a car with

attached trailer in situations where snaking
occurs. Also see section "Trailer Stability Assist"
for more information.

NOTE

The TSA function is deactivated if sport mode
is activated.

Sport mode for electronic stability

control

The ESC

system is always activated — it can-

not be switched off. However, the driver can
select Sport mode, which allows for a more
active driving experience.

In Sport mode the ESC system detects whether
the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements
and cornering are more active than in normal
driving and then allows a certain degree of con-
trolled skidding with the rear section before ESC
intervenes and stabilises the car.

For example, if the driver stops a controlled skid
by releasing the accelerator pedal, the ESC sys-
tem intervenes and stabilises the car.

Sport mode also provides maximum traction if the
car has become bogged down or is driving on a
loose surface, such as sand or deep snow.

Select/deselect Sport mode

The Sport mode is activated/
deactivated in the centre dis-
play's function view.

–

Tap on the

ESC Sport Mode

button in

function view.
> Sport mode is activated/deactivated, a

green/grey indicator is displayed in the
button.

The driver display indicates Sport mode
by displaying this symbol with a con-
stant glow until the function is deacti-
vated or the engine is switched off. The

next time the engine is started, the ESC system
is back in its normal mode again.

Limitations for Sport mode

The

ESC Sport Mode

function cannot be

selected when one of the functions from speed
limiter, cruise control or adaptive cruise control is
activated.
