The tailgate can be set to stop opening at a cer-
tain height, for example if the tailgate needs to
be opened in a garage with a low ceiling.

Setting maximum opening height:

1. Open the tailgate to the desired opening

height.

NOTE

It is not possible to program an opening posi-
tion lower than half-open tailgate.

2. Press the

button on the lower edge of

the tailgate and hold for at least 3 seconds.
> Two brief audio signals will sound to indi-

cate that the position has been stored.

Resetting to maximum opening position:

–

Move the tailgate manually to its highest
possible position and press the

button

on the tailgate for at least 3 seconds.
> Two audio signals will sound to indicate

that the stored position has been erased.
The tailgate can then be opened to its
maximum position.

NOTE

•

If the system has been working continu-
ously for a prolonged period of time, it will
be switched off to avoid overload. It can
be used again after approximately
2 minutes.

Foot movement tailgate operation

To make it easier to operate the tailgate 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 be heard when

opening or closing is activated - the tail-
gate will open/close.

If the tailgate 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.

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

Interrupting opening or closing with a foot
movement
–

Make one slow forward kicking motion while
the tailgate is opening or closing to stop its
movement.

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

locking function is now ready for activa-
tion.

If the system has been reset, the above proce-
dure will need to be repeated.

doors is opened from the inside.

Automatically arming and disarming the
alarm

Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent
inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarm
protection.

If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key
(and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors or tailgate are opened within two minutes,
the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehi-
cle will also re-lock.

On some markets, the alarm will be automatically
armed following a slight delay after the driver's
door has been opened and closed without being
locked.

To change this setting:

1. Tap

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

244

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 system can, for example, help the driver
maintain a set speed or a set time interval to the
vehicle ahead, help prevent a collision by warning
the driver and applying the brakes, or assist the
driver while parking.

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

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.

Stability system Roll Stability

Control

The Roll Stability Control (RSC

) system helps

minimize the risk of a rollover in the event of e.g.
a sudden evasive maneuver or if the vehicle
begins to skid.

The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at
which the vehicle is leaning and registers any
changes. Using this information, the system cal-
culates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is an
imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Stability
Control is activated, engine torque is reduced and
brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels
until the vehicle has regained stability.

WARNING

The vehicle’s stability systems, including RSC

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 current road, traffic and weather condi-

tions. Posted speed limits should always be

respected.

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

246

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

•

Trailer Stability Assist

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.

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.

Trailer Stability Assist

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA

) is designed to help

stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if the
vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more
information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".

NOTE

The TSA function is deactivated if

ESC Sport

Mode

is activated.
