Drive modes*
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehicle's many functions and settings in different driving situations. The following systems are adapted to help optimize driving characteristics in each drive mode:
- Steering
- Engine/transmission/all-wheel drive
- Brakes
- Shock absorbers
- Instrument panel
- Start/Stop function
- Climate control settings
Select the drive mode that is best suited to the current driving conditions. Keep in mind that not all drive modes are available in all situations.
Available drive modes
COMFORT
- This is the vehicle's default mode.
When the engine is started, the vehicle will be in Comfort mode and the Start/Stop function will be activated. This setting offers driving comfort, light steering and soft suspension.
ECO
- Adapt the vehicle for more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving with Eco mode.
In this mode, the Start/Stop function is activated and certain climate settings are reduced.
The instrument panel has an ECO gauge to facilitate fuel-efficient driving.
OFF ROAD
- Maximizes the vehicle's ability to traverse difficult terrain or poor roads.
Steering is light and all-wheel drive and Hill Descent Control are activated. The Start/Stop function is deactivated.
This mode can only be activated at low speeds. The permitted speed range will be shown in the speedometer. If this speed is exceeded, Off road mode will be deactivated and another drive mode activated.
In Off road mode, a compass will be displayed between the speedometer and the tachometer in the instrument panel.
Note
DYNAMIC
- Dynamic mode is designed to provide sportier driving characteristics and a faster acceleration response.
Gear shifting will be faster and more distinct and the transmission will prioritize gears with a higher traction force.
Steering response is faster and suspension is stiffer1 to help reduce body roll when cornering.
The Start/Stop function is deactivated.
INDIVIDUAL
- Customizes drive mode to personal preferences.
Select one of the drive modes as a basis and adjust the settings to achieve your preferred driving characteristics. These settings will be stored in your driver profile.
Individual drive mode is only available if it has been activated in the center display.
Under Presets, select one of the following drive modes as a basis: Eco, Comfort or Dynamic.
The following settings can be modified:
- Driver Display
- Steering force
- Powertrain Characteristics
- Brake Characteristics
- Suspension Control
- ECO Climate
- Start/Stop.
