Operation
DCC continuously adapts the suspension to
the c
ondition of
the r
oad and current driving
conditions, according to the pre-set pro-
gramme.
Steering is also adapted in the “Sport” pro-
gramme.
Programme Driving recommendations
“COMFORT” C
Adjust it to the most comfortable
setting, for example, driving on
surfaces in poor condition, or mak-
ing long trips.
“NORMAL”
Balanced setting, suitable, for ex-
ample, for day-to-day use.
“SPORT” S
Sport setting for sporty style driv-
ing
Select a program
●
Switch the ignition on.
●
Press the b
utt
on r
epeatedly until the
desired program is displayed
The “NORMAL” programme is active when
neither the C nor S buttons are lit up.
WARNING
Switching the dynamic chassis control sys-
tem on whil
e the vehicle is in motion could
divert your attention from the traffic and
cause accidents.
WARNING
Adjusting the suspension can change driving
propertie
s. Dynamic chassis control must
never lead to any kinds of risk.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
Note
If the dynamic chassis control does not oper-
ate as
described in this chapter, go to an au-
thorised workshop and request it be checked.
Note
In case of a fault in the dynamic chassis con-
trol, the b
uttons C and S will so indicate. A
fault could the affect driving comfort. Have
the system checked by a specialised work-
shop.
Tyre monitoring systems
Intr
oduction
The tyre monitor indicator monitors the tyre
pr
e
s
sure of each wheel during driving using
the ABS sensors. The ABS sensors monitor
the tyre tread perimeter and vibrations of
each tyre. The tyre monitor indicator warns
the driver if it detects a considerable drop in
tyre pressure of one or several tyres while
driving. Loss of tyre pressure will be indica-
ted by the indicator as well as an audible
warning and sometimes a text message on
the dash panel display. When you open the
driver door, you will find a label indicating
the tyre pressure recommended by the manu-
facturer for the maximum vehicle load for
each tyre approved for the vehicle in ques-
tion. By pressing the adjustment button on
the tyre monitoring indicator, you may
change the reference pressure for the tyres
so that the tyre pressure coincides with ac-
tual pressure ››› page 236.
Suitable use of the adjustment button
››› page 236.
WARNING
Unsuitable handling of the wheels and tyres
may
lead to sudden tyre pressure losses, to
tread separation or even to a blow-out.
●
Check tyre pressures regularly and ensure
they are maintained at the pressures indica-
ted. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyres
could overheat, resulting in tread detachment
or even burst tyres.
●
Tyre pressure should be that indicated on
the label when the tyres are cold at all times
››› page 291.
●
Regularly check the cold inflation pressure
of the tyres. If necessary, change the tyre
pressure of the vehicle tyres while they are
cold.
