178 Driving and operating● Antilock Brake System (ABS)with cornering brake control(CBC)● Automatic transmissionSPORT modeThe settings of the systems areadapted to a sportier driving style:● Damping of shock absorbersreacts more stiffly to providebetter contact with the roadsurface.● The engine reacts more quicklyto the accelerator pedal.● Steering support is reduced.● Engine torque of All-wheel driveis distributed more to the rearaxle.● Shift points of automatictransmission occur later.● Depending on the instrumentcluster the colouring of thedisplay will be adapted.TOUR modeThe settings of the systems areadapted to a comfort driving style:● Damping of shock absorbersreacts more softly.● Accelerator pedal reacts withstandard settings.● Steering support is in standardmode.● Engine torque of All-wheel driveis distributed mainly to the frontaxle.● Shift points of automatictransmission occur in a comfortmode.NORMAL modeAll settings of the systems areadapted to standard values.Drive mode controlWithin each manually selected drivingmode SPORT, TOUR or NORMAL,the Drive Mode Control (DMC)detects and analyses continuouslythe real driving characteristic,responses by the driver, and theactive dynamic state of the vehicle. Ifnecessary, the control unit of DMCautomatically changes the settingswithin the selected driving mode or,when recognising greater variations,the driving mode is changed for thelength of variation.
