Your car has several features that affect the driving dynamics and performance.

| Manual gear shifting | Even though your car has an automatic gearbox, you can enable manual gear shifting by selecting gear M. |
| Start and stop | The start and stop feature reduces fuel consumption and emissions by letting you temporarily turn the engine off during brief stops while keeping the car's systems active. |
| Launch feature | Launch can be used when you need maximum acceleration from a standstill, such as when starting your car on a steep incline. |
| Steering feel | Adjusting the steering feel affects the steering wheel resistance and firmness. |
| Suspension feel | The suspension feel affects the ride quality and can be adjusted in the centre display. |
| Electronic stability control1 | Your car has automatic stability control systems in place that can help to prevent skidding. |
