One example is the Drive Modes selector: while engine throttle, traction control, electronic stability control,
suspension damping characteristics, active aerodynamics and ride height are all adjustable, the driver can simply choose one of four modes — Normal, Sport, Track, and Wet — and those parameters will be automatically optimized for him.
The default Normal Mode offers more comfort - oriented dynamics while the Sport Mode adjusts
the suspension damping characteristics plus steering and throttle response for a more taut and direct driving experience.
The Sport Mode optimizes
the suspension damping characteristics plus steering and throttle response.
