05 Comfort and driving pleasure
Active chassis system–Four C*
Active chassis (Four C)
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con-
trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the cha-
racteristics of the shock absorbers so that the
car's driving characteristics can be adjusted.
There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
Comfort
Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride
and the transmission shifts gears at lower
rpm. This mode is particularly suitable for
long-distance highway driving. The indicator
light in the button will be on when this mode
is selected.
05
Sport
In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is
reduced during cornering and steering
response is more immediate. The transmis-
sion shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driv-
ing. The indicator light in the button will be on
to indicate that Sport mode has been
selected.
Advanced
In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal
and steering response is very direct. Gear
shifting is done at high rpm in each gear for
dynamic and active driving.
