Driving modes (Drive Profile)*
Introduction
The Drive Profile enables the driver to
choose between six profiles or modes, Com-
fort
, Sport, Cupra, Individual, Offroad and
Snow, that modify the behaviour of various
vehicle functions, providing different driving
experiences.
The Individual profile can be configured ac-
cording to personal preferences. The other
profiles have a fixed configuration.
Description
Depending on the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, the Drive Profile can operate on the
following functions:
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the en-
gine responds more quickly or smoothly to
the accelerator being pressed.
The gear change points are modified to posi-
tion them in lower or higher engine speed
ranges.
In addition, the function for taking advantage
of inertia is activated in the Individual pro-
file, when the engine is set to ECO, allowing
consumption to be reduced further.
Adaptive chassis control (DCC)*
DCC continuously adapts the shock absorb-
ers to the condition of the road and current
driving conditions, according to the pre-set
programme.
