SportThis setting means that the car is perceivedas being more sporty and is recommendedfor more active driving. Steering response isfaster than in the Comfort mode. Shockabsorption is harder and the body follows theroad in order to reduce rolling during corner-ing.
AdvancedThis setting is only recommended on veryeven and smooth road surfaces. The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi- mum roadholding and rolling in bends is fur-ther minimised.
Operation
