WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance sys-
tems» page 220,
in section Introduction.
Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)
Read and observe
on page 249 first.
The adaptive chassis control (following known as DCC) provides the ability to
adjust the shock characteristics for the sporty, normal or comfortable driving
when the corresponding control mode is selected.
The DCC evaluates steering response and road conditions while driving contin-
uously and adjusts the suspension behaviour within the selected driving mode
accordingly.
mode Eco
Read and observe
on page 249 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Drive
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in Normal mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption

If the START-STOP system is deactivated
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in Normal
control.
Xenon headlight
The system is in economic mode
and do not adapt to the direction of travel.

Air conditioning (Climatronic)
The air conditioning is controlled so as to save energy. For this reason, for ex-
ample, it may take longer to reach the desired interior temperature in mode
Normal.
Note
The maximum vehicle acceleration (kick down function) is possible also in driv-
ing mode Eco.
Mode Comfort
Read and observe
on page 249 first.
This mode is suitable for driving on roads with poorer surface or for long mo-
torway journeys.
Mode Normal
Read and observe
on page 249 first.
This mode is suitable for a conventional driving.
Mode Sports
Read and observe
on page 249 first.
This mode is suitable for a sporty driving.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
DCC
The DCC adjusts the chassis for the sporty driving style.
Steering
The power steering is reduced slightly, i.e., the driver needs to exert more
force for steering .
Drive
The vehicle acceleration is more dynamic than in Normal mode.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The acceleration is quicker than in Normal mode with distance control
