Stability system
The stability system (RSC
11
) reduces the risk
of overturning, for example during a sudden
evasive manoeuvre or if the car skids.
The system registers if and how much the
car's lateral inclination changes. This informa-
tion is used to calculate the risk of the car
overturning. If the car is at risk, its electronic
stability control 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 sys-
tem improves the car's road safety, but this
must not be taken as a reason to increase
speed. Always follow the normal precau-
tions for safe driving.

Distance Warning
*
12
The Distance Warning function can assist the
driver to notice that the time interval to the
vehicle ahead may be too short. This requires
the car to be equipped with a head-up dis-
play
*
to be able to display Distance Warning.
Distance Warning symbol on the windscreen with
head-up display.
In cars equipped with head-up display, a sym-
bol is shown on the windscreen for as long as
the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the preset value. However, this assumes
that the
Show Driver Support function is
activated via the settings in the car's menu
system.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to
the vehicle ahead travelling in the same direc-
tion. No distance information is provided for
oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may
make the visual warning signal in the wind-
screen difficult to recognise.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the
time the adaptive cruise control
*
or Pilot
Assist
*
is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the time
window to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the preset value – the speed of the
driver's vehicle is not affected.
