All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive (AWD 9 ), also called four-
wheel drive, means that power is distributed
to all four wheels, which improves traction.
To achieve the best traction, power is auto-
matically directed to the wheels that have the
best grip. The system continuously calculates
the need for torque to the rear wheels, and
can immediately redistribute up to half of the
engine's torque to the rear wheels.
All-wheel drive also has a stabilizing effect at
higher speeds. In normal driving conditions,
most of the engine's power is directed to the
front wheels. When the vehicle is stationary,
all-wheel drive is always activated in prepara-
tion for maximum traction during acceleration.
All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on
which drive mode is selected.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Drive modes*
Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving cha-
racteristics in different ways to enhance and
simplify the driving experience in certain
types of situations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehi-
cle's many functions and settings in different
driving situations. The following systems are
adapted to help optimize driving characteris-
tics in each drive mode:
Steering
•
Engine/transmission/all-wheel drive
•
Brakes
•
Shock absorbers
•
Instrument panel
•
Start/Stop function
•
Climate control settings
•
Select the drive mode that is adapted to the
current driving conditions. Keep in mind that
not all drive modes are available in all situa-
tions.
Available drive modes
When the engine is started, the vehicle will be
in Comfort mode and the start/stop function
will be activated. Drive mode can be changed
once the vehicle is started, e.g. to
mode. Once Individual mode is selected, you
can adjust settings to personal preferences,
e.g. to show the tachometer.
