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.
