Characteristics of the drive programs
Drive program C is characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R
comfort-oriented engine and transmission
settings
R
optimal fuel consumption resulting from
the transmission shifting up sooner
R
the vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward and reverse gears, unless the
accelerator pedal is depressed fully
R
increased sensitivity; this improves driving
stability on slippery road surfaces, for
example
R
the transmission shifting up sooner, which
results in the vehicle being driven at lower
engine speeds and the wheels being less
likely to spin
Drive programs S and S+ are characterised
by the following:
R
sporty engine and transmission settings
R
the transmission shifting up later and shift-
ing down dynamically
R
as a result of the later transmission
upshifts, the fuel consumption may be
higher
R
if a period of dynamic driving is followed by
an extended phase with a constantaccel-
erator pedal position, the vehicle shifts up
to a higher gear. This optimises fuel con-
sumption.
Drive program M is characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R
you can shift gears up or downsucces-
sively. Forfurther details, see
