ADVANCED AGILITY package with
sports mode*
The most important part of the AD-
VANCED AGILITY package with sports
mode is the adjustable suspension sys-
tem. This automatically regulates the sus-
pension in a way optimised for the particu-
lar driving conditions. The calibration of
the suspension depends on:
I your driving style
I the road surface conditions
I your individual selection
Your selection remains stored even if you
remove the key from the ignition lock.
If your vehicle is equipped with automatic
transmission*, the ADVANCED AGILITY
package with sports mode also includes
steering-wheel gearshift paddles* with a
manual gearshift program* (
