The different drive modes available in your car are all suitable for different scenarios and types of driving. Depending on what drive mode you select, certain driving dynamics may be affected, such as steering, suspension, braking and acceleration. Different drive modes also allow for different adjustable settings, both related to both driving and climate.
Your car has two drive modes:
| Standard | This is the default mode and is recommended for everyday use. It's also selected automatically every time you start the car. |
| Off-road | The off-road mode is suitable for when you're driving on rough terrain or on roads with limited accessibility. Your car's suspension is raised, giving it a higher ground clearance. The off-road mode also activates hill descent control, allowing your car to brake in a more controlled and active way when driving downhill. |
Note
Off-road
The off-road mode has limitations and is only available below certain driving speeds. Driving with the suspension raised is only available at speeds below 25 km/h (15 mph). By default, your car's suspension automatically returns to its previous height when that speed limit is exceeded. However, hill descent control is available until you reach 40 km/h (25 mph). Driving at higher speeds automatically disables the off-road mode in full. If this happens while driving on a steep downhill gradient, the automatic braking effect from hill descent control will gradually decrease.
Your fuel consumption may increase when driving with the off-road mode selected.
Selecting the off-road mode disables the start and stop feature.
The off-road mode is not designed to be used on public roads.
