176 Driving and operating
■ Antilock Brake System (ABS) with
cornering brake control (CBC)
■ Automatic transmission
SPORT mode
The settings of the systems are
adapted to a sportier driving style:
■ Damping of shock absorbers reacts
more stiffly to provide better contact
with the road surface.
■ The engine reacts more quickly to
the accelerator pedal.
■ Steering support is reduced.
■ Engine torque of All-wheel drive is
distributed more to the rear axle.
■ Shift points of automatic
transmission occur later.
■ Depending on the instrument
cluster the colouring of the display
will be adapted.
TOUR mode
The settings of the systems are
adapted to a comfort driving style:
■ Damping of shock absorbers reacts
more softly.
■ Accelerator pedal reacts with
standard settings.
■ Steering support is in standard
mode.
■ Engine torque of All-wheel drive is
distributed mainly to the front axle.
■ Shift points of automatic
transmission occur in a comfort
mode.
NORMAL mode
All settings of the systems are
adapted to standard values.
Drive mode control
Within each manually selected driving
mode SPORT, TOUR or NORMAL,
the Drive Mode Control (DMC)
detects and analyses continuously
the real driving characteristic,
responses by the driver, and the
active dynamic state of the vehicle. If
necessary, the control unit of DMC
automatically changes the settings
within the selected driving mode or,
when recognising greater variations,
the driving mode is changed for the
length of variation.
If, for example, NORMAL mode is
selected and DMC detects a sporty
driving behaviour, DMC changes
several settings of the Normal mode
