212 Driving and operation
Control indicator IDS+ for
Continuous Damping Control
Illuminates for around 10 seconds after
opening the driver's door. Illumination
during driving indicates a fault in the
system. The system is not functioning. For
safety reasons, switches to the harder
chassis setting. Have the cause of the fault
eliminated by a workshop. The self-
diagnosis integrated into the system
facilitates rapid fault identification.
SPORT mode 3
SPORT mode is used to change damping 3,
steering 3, throttle application 3 and the
shift point for automatic transmission 3
and Easytronic 3 while driving.
Damping and steering become more direct
and provide better contact with the road
surface. The engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator movements.
For automatic transmission 3 and
Easytronic 3, the shift times are reduced
and gear changes occur at higher engine
speeds (not when cruise control is on).
To activate
Press the SPORT button. The LED in the
button illuminates.
In vehicles with automatic transmission 3
or Easytronic 3 the control indicator 1
illuminates in the transmission display.
SPORT mode cannot be activated if the
Winter programme 3 is running (vehicles
with automatic transmission 3 or
Easytronic 3). Winter programme - see
pages 180, 186, 193.
