Keyless drive* – key memory

When you leave the vehicle with a remote key in
your possession and lock any door, the position
of the driver's seat

and door mirrors will be

stored in the remote key's memory.

The next time a door is opened by a person with
the same remote key in his/her possession, the
driver's seat and door mirrors will automatically
move to the position that they were in when the
door was most recently locked.

NOTE

If several people carrying remote keys
approach the vehicle at the same time, the
driver's seat and door mirrors will assume the
positions they were in for the person who
opens the driver's door.

adjusting and storing the seat's position in the
seat memory.

NOTE

If the vehicle is locked by pressing the button
on one of the door handles or by pressing the
lock button on the remote key, or if it is left
unlocked for more than 30 minutes, the key
memory function will be deactivated.

To reactivate the key's memory:

•

Unlock the vehicle by pulling a door han-
dle with the remote key in your posses-
sion or by pressing the unlock button on
the remote key.

Locking/unlocking – from the

outside

The remote key (p. 144) is used to lock/unlock
all of the doors and the trunk at the same time.
Different settings for unlocking the vehicle can
be selected, see Remote key – functions
(p. 147).

Before the vehicle can be locked from the out-
side with the remote key, the driver's door must
be closed. If the trunk or any other door is open,
it will be locked and the alarm will be armed.

NOTE

Be sure the remote key is outside of the vehi-
cle before the other doors/trunk are closed to
help avoid locking the remote inside the vehi-
cle.

If the vehicle is equipped with the optional key-
less drive system, all doors/trunk must be closed
before the vehicle can be locked.

The first press on the unlock button unlocks the
driver's door and a second press unlocks the
other doors and the trunk (see also remote key
and key blade (p. 144)). This setting can be
changed in the menu system. See MY
CAR (p. 71) for a description.

DRIVER SUPPORT

166

Stability system – introduction

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
consists of a number of functions designed to
help reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding and
to generally help improve directional stability.

A pulsating sound will be audible when
the system is actively operating and is
normal. Acceleration will also be
slightly slower than normal.

WARNING

•

The stability system (ESC) is intended to
help improve driving safety but cannot
deal with all situations, or traffic, road and
weather conditions. Speed and driving
style should always be adapted to the
current driving situation.

•

ESC supplements, but can never replace,
the driver's judgment and responsibility
when operating the vehicle. The driver is
always responsible for operating the vehi-
cle in a safe manner in accordance with
applicable traffic regulations.

ESC consists of the following functions:

•

Traction control

•

Spin control

•

Active Yaw Control

•

Engine Drag Control

•

Corner Traction Control

Traction Control (TC)

This function is designed to help reduce wheel
spin at low speeds by transferring power from a
drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the
wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the
same axle).

Spin Control (SC)

The SC function is designed to help prevent the
drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is
accelerating.

Active Yaw Control (AYC)

This function helps maintain directional stability,
for example when cornering, by braking one or
more of the wheels if the vehicle shows a ten-
dency to skid or slide laterally.

Corner Traction Control (CTC)

CTC compensates for understeering and helps
provide additional stability when accelerating
through a curve by preventing the inside wheel
from spinning. This is particularly useful when
accelerating on a curving highway on-ramp.

CTC is most effective if the stability system's
Sport mode is selected. See the section about
Sport mode.

Engine Drag Control (EDC)

EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheels
show a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting down
in the Geartronic manual shifting mode or while
using the engine's braking function on a slippery
surface. If the engine were to stop, power steer-

ing would not function, making the vehicle more
difficult to steer.

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)

The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing a
trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun to
sway. See Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) (p. 285)
for more information.

This system is automatically deactivated if the
driver selects Sport mode.
