R comfort-oriented engine settings.
R optimal fuel consumption resulting from
the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner.
R the vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward and reverse gears, unless the
accelerator pedal is depressed fully.

cles, drive programs Sand S+) is character-
ized by the following:
R sporty engine and automatic transmission
settings.
R the automatic transmission shifting up

as a result of the later automatic transmis-
sion shift points. 170
