The possible vehicle set-up in each mode depends on which equipment is installed on your vehicle. The engine and steering are basic parts of your vehicle which are always included in the set-up.
Engine and automatic gearbox*
The response of the engine and automatic gearbox*
to accelerator pedal movements will be more spontaneous or balanced, depending on which mode you select. In efficiency*
mode the automatic gearbox selects the next gear*
at lower engine speeds and the coasting mode is activated Link. This helps to reduce fuel consumption.
Suspension control*
The suspension control uses sensors to collect information on steering movements, braking and acceleration input by the driver, road surface quality, road speed and vehicle loading. With drive select you can adjust the suspension for a stiffer response (dynamic) or balanced set-up (efficiency*
or auto).
Steering
The degree of power assistance can be varied. The light, indirect steering response in auto mode is particularly suitable on long motorway trips, for instance. By contrast, dynamic mode gives the steering a tight, direct feel.
Automatic air conditioner*
The automatic air conditioner runs in a particularly economical mode when the efficiency*
setting is selected.
Cruise control system*
The acceleration response is particularly economical in efficiency*
mode.
Engine sound*
The sound of the engine is matched to the selected mode and ranges from subdued to dynamic.
Note
- If you select efficiency mode* when the selector lever is in D (vehicles with automatic gearbox* ), E is selected automatically.
- Please note that the efficiency* mode is not available in towing mode.
