200 Drive Control Systems
Continuous Damping Control
3
(CDC)
Normal mode
CDC automatically adapts vehicle
damping to the current driving situation
and road conditions.
The system continually monitors wheel and
vehicle movements and immediately
modifies the damping of each shock
absorber. Chassis calibration is optimally
adapted to the driving situation and road
conditions.
Continuous Damping Control is always in
normal mode with the ignition is switched
on. If desired, the system can be switched
to SPORT mode.
In SPORT mode, the damping control is
adapted to a sportier driving style, among
other things. This adaptation results in a
"harder" suspension setting.
SPORT mode - see next column.
SPORT mode
In SPORT mode the damping, the steering
and the acceleration are modified while
driving, as are the shifting points if the
vehicle has automatic transmission 3 .
Damping and steering become more direct
and provide better contact with the road
surface. The engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator movements.
With automatic transmission
3 the shift
times are reduced and gear changes occur
at higher engine speeds (not when cruise
control 3 is active).

Activating SPORT mode
Press the SPORT button. The LED in the
button illuminates.
In vehicles with automatic transmission
3
the control indicator 1 also illuminates in
the transmission display.
If the winter programme has been
switched on 3 (vehicles with automatic
transmission 3 ) SPORT mode cannot be
activated.
Winter programme – see page 182.
