Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience, maximizing
comfort. Steering effort is
decreased and suspension
movement is more fluid. Comfort
mode is ideal when enhanced
traveling comfort is desired.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable,
controlled ride and confident
handling. This mode provides an
engaging drive experience and a
direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from a
luxury vehicle.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. Suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes
on a more powerful tone. Sport
mode is intended to be used during
more spirited driving.
