Comfort Mode
Comfort Mode is the default vehicle driving setting, and is intended for economical
and comfortable driving. In vehicles featuring an automatic transmission, this driving
mode will optimise the gear shift points to maintain the most appropriate
gear for economical driving. It is possible to also use the shift paddles to select
higher or lower gears in Comfort Mode (see Shift Paddle section).
Sport Mode
Sport Mode is a selectable driving mode that enhances the dynamic capabilities
of the vehicle, sharpening both the throttle response and gear shift pattern.
Upshifts will be quicker and occur at a higher RPM. Downshifts under braking
will become faster and more pronounced.
In vehicles featuring an active sports exhaust, selecting ‘Sport’ mode will
introduce a more characterful sound to the exhaust.
To signify this Sport Mode, the LCD display backdrop will change to yellow and
‘S’ will be shown on the driver’s information panel:

Shift Modes (Automatic Gearbox)
The Drive and Shift programmes will avoid gear shifts that may cause
mechanical harm. For example, a manual down shift would not be allowed if
the engine speed is deemed too high.
The gear selected appears briefly in the Driver Instrument Panel, followed by
the gear currently in use.
If the driver shifts gear with the shift paddles on the steering wheel whilst in
Comfort Mode, the vehicle will revert back to comfort mode after a period
of moderate driving. The selector lever position is displayed in the Driver
Information Panel.
