The following systems, among other things , are
influenced by drive select:
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto-
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements . In the sporty dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Suspension control*
The adaptive dampers use sensors to record in-
formation regarding steering movements, brak-
ing and accelerat ion operations by the driver,
road surface, driv ing speed, and load . With dr ive
select, you can adjust the adaptive dampers to
sporty (dynamic), comfortable (comfort) or bal-
anced (auto).
Steering

tance . Indirect steering that moves easily as in
comfort mode is especially su ited to long dr ives
on a highway . In contrast, dynamic mode pro-
vides sporty, direct steeri ng.

The pivoting action and the lighting also adapt to
