Drive mode control
Within each manually selected driving
mode (SPORT, TOUR or Normal),
the Drive Mode Control (DMC)
detects and continously analyses the
real driving characteristics,
responses by the driver, and the
active dynamic state of the vehicle. If
necessary the control unit of DMC
automatically changes 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
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 characteristics or
the dynamic vehicle state return to
their former state, DMC will change
the settings to the preselected 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
