modes. The buttons for controlling these driving modes are located in center instrument panel, above the
ventilation system panel vents, see the illustration in the right column. These buttons can be pressed at
any time to change driving modes. An indicator light in the selected button will come on to indicate the
driving mode that is currently selected.
This system is based on a number of sensors that continuously monitor factors such as the vehicle's
lateral and vertical movements, speed, and movements of the wheels. The sensors receive data up to 500
times per second, which is used to provide extremely fast and precise adjustment of each shock
absorber. The system adjusts the stiffness of the shock absorbers approximately 100 times per second.
Use the button in the center console to switch between the driving modes Comfort and Sport. This can
be done at any time.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock absorption and the softest ride.
This mode is recommended for long-distance driving, or when driving in slippery conditions. The
indicator light in the button will be off when this mode is selected.
If Comfort mode was selected when the engine was switched off, this mode will still be active when the
engine is restarted.
Sport
In this mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the vehicle's body sway during cornering and to
provide more immediate steering response. The indicator light in the button will come on to indicate that
Sport mode has been selected.
If this setting was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will still be active when the
engine is restarted.
