■ Shift points of automatic
transmission occur in a comfort
mode.
■ Illumination of main instruments is
white.
Normal mode
All settings of the systems are
adapted to standard values.
Drive mode control
Within each manual selected driving
mode SPORT, TOUR or Normal, the
Drive Mode Control (DMC) detects
and analyses continously 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
into sporty settings. The DMC
changes to Sport mode in case of
very sporty driving behaviour.
If, for example, TOUR mode is
selected and whilst driving on
a winding road a sudden hard brake
is necessary, DMC will detect the
dynamic vehicle condition and
changes the settings for suspension
to SPORT mode to increase vehicle
stability.
When the driving characteristic or the
dynamic vehicle state returns to
former state, DMC will change the
settings to the preselected driving
mode.
Personalised settings in the Sport
mode
The driver can select the functions of
the SPORT mode when SPORT
button is pushed. These settings can
be changed in the menu Settings in
the Info-Display. Vehicle

Cruise control

The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of approx. 20 to
120 mph. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill
or downhill.
For safety reasons the cruise control
cannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
