Characteristics
These drive programs provide the ideal balance
between traction and stability.
Select drive program E or C in difficult road con‐
ditions, such as in snow or ice, or when the road
is wet from rain.
This drive program continues to offer stability
but with a sporty setup which allows the enthu‐
siastic driver a more active driving style.
Only select drive program S in good road condi‐
tions, for example on dry road and clear
stretches of road.
The vehicle's own understeering and oversteer‐
ing characteristics are accentuated. This allows
a more active driving style to be adopted.
Only select drive program S+ in good road con‐
ditions, for example on dry road and clear
stretches of road.
