Drive Profiles
Introduction
The driver can use the drive profiles to adapt
various features of the vehicle's systems to the
current driving situation, the desired driving
comfort and an economical driving style. Some
of the systems that can be adapted are the
suspension, steering, engine and air condition-

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, vari-
ous drive profiles can be selected. The degree
of influence of the vehicle's systems on the dif-
ferent drive profiles depends on the vehicle's
equipment.
Engine

responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
behaviour of the transmission is modified,
whenever a gear is changed up and down, and
at other times. The idle speed and gear posi-
tion can also be changed according to the se-

The Inertia Mode function can also be
switched on by selecting the Comfort profile,
or from the Individual profile by putting the
engine into ECO mode. This allows fuel con-

vehicle to strengthen or weaken the engine
and intake noise, as well as the noise from the
