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.

In rare situations, the power
steering may become too hot and
require temporary cooling – dur-
ing such time the power steering
will work at reduced output and the steer-
ing wheel may feel more difficult to move.
The message Power steering Assistance
temporarily reduced will be displayed
along with this symbol in the instrument
panel.
Some of the systems are standard and others
are options. This also varies from market to
market.

The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual about this
function to learn of its limitations,
which the driver must be aware of
before using the function.
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.

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
The system consists of the following sub-func-
tions:

The stability system (ESC6) is always acti-

the driver can select ESC Sport Mode,

With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function
selected, intervention from the system is

spinning.
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.
