■ Shift points of automatic
transmission occur later.
■ With SPORT mode activated, the
illumination of main instruments
changes from white to red.

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.
