WARNING

•

Lock the doors and trunk lid when the
vehicle is parked and keep the remote
keys out of reach of children. Unsuper-
vised children could lock themselves in
the trunk and be injured.

•

On hot days, the temperature in the trunk
and inside the vehicle could rise very
quickly. Exposure to these high tempera-
tures, even for a short time, could lead to
heat-related injury or fatality. Small chil-
dren are particularly at risk.

Opening and closing the trunk lid

with foot movement*

To make it easier to operate the trunk lid when
your hands are full, it can be opened and closed
by moving your foot in a forward kicking motion
under the rear bumper.

The sensor is located to the left of center under the rear
bumper.

One of the vehicle's remote keys must be within
range behind the vehicle (approx. 1 meter (3
feet)) for opening and closing to be possible. This
applies even if the vehicle is unlocked in order to
prevent the trunk lid from inadvertently opening
e.g. at a car wash.

Foot movement operation

Kicking motion within the sensor's activation area.

–

Make one slow forward kicking motion with
your foot under the left section of the rear
bumper. Take a step back. Do not touch the
bumper.
> A brief audible signal will sound when

opening or closing is activated - the trunk
lid will open/close.

If the trunk lid is open, it will always
close

when the foot motion sensor is

activated.

If several opening attempts have been made
without the remote key in range behind the vehi-
cle, foot movement operation will not be available
for a short period of time.

Applies to vehicles with power trunk lid*.

KEY, LOCKS AND ALARM

* Option/accessory.

264

Do not keep your foot under the vehicle in a kick-
ing motion. This may prevent activation.

Interrupting foot movement operation
–

Make one slow forward kicking motion while
the trunk lid is opening/closing to stop its
movement.
> The trunk lid will stop closing and return

to its fully open position. The trunk lid can
then be opened or closed manually.

The remote key does not need to be within range
of the vehicle to interrupt closing.

NOTE

There is a risk of reduced or lost function if
there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc.
on the rear bumper. Make sure to keep the
bumper clean.

NOTE

Please note that the system could be inadver-
tently activated in a car wash or similar if the
remote key is within range.

Private Locking

The trunk lid and rear seat backrests can be
locked using the private locking function, e.g.
when the vehicle is left at a workshop or with a
valet. This function prevents the trunk lid from
being opened and locks the rear seat backrests
in the upright position.

The function button for private
locking is located in the center
display's Function view.

(and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors or trunk lid is opened within two minutes,
the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehi-
cle will also re-lock.

DRIVER SUPPORT

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 systems can, for example, help the driver:

•

maintain a set speed

•

maintain a set time interval to the vehicle
ahead

•

help prevent a collision by warning the driver
and applying the brakes

•

park the vehicle.

Some of the systems are standard and others are
options. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheel

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.

WARNING

While the power steering is working at

reduced power, the driver support functions

and systems with steering assistance are not

available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows

the

Power steering failure

message, com-

bined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.

Electronic Stability Control

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC

) 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

•

Spin control and active yaw control

•

Engine drag control

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

This 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 control

This 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.

Electronic Stability Control

Also called traction control.

DRIVER SUPPORT

272

Engine drag control

Engine drag control (EDC

) 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.
