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 changes self-
acting 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
Driving and operating
a winding road a sudden hard brake
is necessary, DMC will detect the
dynamic vehicle condition and
changes the settings for suspension,
steering and ESC 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 pre-selected 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
