DRIVE CONTROL
Driver Select Suspension
Driver select suspension delivers a unique
driving experience through a suite of
sophisticated electronic vehicle systems.
These systems continuously monitor your
driving inputs and the road conditions to
optimize ride comfort, steering and
handling.
Driver select suspension consists of the
following systems:
•
Continuously controlled damping
dynamically adjusts the shock
absorbers stiffness in real time to
match the road surface and driver
inputs. This system continuously
monitors your vehicle’s motion (roll,
pitch, bounce), suspension position,
load, speed, road conditions, and
steering to adjust the suspension
damping for optimal vehicle control.
•
Electronically power-assisted steering
adjusts steering effort and feel based
on your vehicle speed and your inputs.
You can configure which of the modes are
active when your vehicle is in (D) drive or
in (S) sport. The configuration remains
active until modified from the main menu
on the information display. See
General
Information
(page 86).
Modes:
•
Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience, maximizing comfort.
Your steering effort decreases and the
suspension movement is more fluid.
Comfort mode is ideal when you desire
enhanced traveling comfort.
•
Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable, controlled
ride and confident handling. This mode
provides an engaging drive experience
and a direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from your
vehicle.
•
Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. The suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs. Sport mode is
ideal for use during more spirited
driving.
Adaptive Steering
You can configure which of the modes are
active when your vehicle is in (D) drive or
in (S) sport. The configuration remains
active until modified from the main menu
on the information display. See
General
Information
(page 86).
Modes:
•
Normal – Default factory setting.
•
Sport – Slightly higher effort required
for steering with more road force felt
through the steering wheel.
