Start and driving
The control lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is s
wit
ched on. It
should go out once the engine is started.
WARNING

Drive Profiles*
Introduction
The Drive Profile enables the driver to
choo
se bet
ween the Comfort, Sport, Cu-
pra* and Individual profiles, which modify
the behaviour of several vehicle functions,
providing different driving experiences.
In addition, the 4Drive version features the
Offroad
1)
and Snow profiles.
The Individual profile can be configured ac-
cording to personal preferences. The other
profiles have a fixed configuration.
Description
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
Drive Pr
ofile can act on the following func-
tions:
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the en-
gine responds more quickly or smoothly to
the accelerator being pressed.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
behaviour of the transmission is modified,
whenever a gear is changed up and down,
and at other times. The idle level may also
change depending on the selected profile
and the selector lever position.
The Inertia Mode function can also be
switched on by selecting the Comfort pro-
file, or from the Individual profile by putting
the engine into ECO mode. This allows fuel
consumption to be reduced. Other factors
can cause it to switch on

page 221 .
With manual transmission, the Eco profile
changes the gear change recommendations
to facilitate more efficient driving.
Engine sound*
Depending on the selected profile, it modi-
fies the acoustic sensation in the vehicle's in-
terior. Depending on the equipment, it also
modifies the outside sound lev
els. It acts on
several components of the vehicle to
strengthen or weaken the engine and intake
noise, as well as the noise from the exhaust
system. The configuration is preset for each
profile and can be modified in the Individual
profile.
Adaptive chassis control (DCC)*
The DCC continuously adapts the damping
of the suspension system to the characteris-
tics of the road surface and the driving situa-
tion (speed, acceleration and steering wheel
angle) according to the selected driving pro-
file. The vehicle's dynamic behaviour is also
adapted to improve grip on curves and turn-
ing capacity. Within the Individual profile
you can also adjust the DCC level in a cus-
tomised manner.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument
screen Fault: damper regulation
Four-wheel drive (4Drive)*
Modify the transmission to adjust the vehi-
cle’s traction capacity to the road surface.
The acceleration capacity from a standstill
will also be modified.
