Driving profile selection
Introduction to the topic
By selecting different driving profiles,
the driver can adapt the characteristics
of the vehicle systems to the current
driving situation, the desired ride com-
fort and an economical driving style. The
adaptable vehicle systems include the
chassis, steering, drive and the air condi-
tioning system.
Different driving profiles are available, de-
pending on the vehicle equipment level. The
effect on the vehicle systems in the individual
driving profiles depends on the vehicle equip-
ment level.
Vehicles with adaptive chassis control (DCC)
The adaptive chassis control (DCC) continu-
ously adjusts the chassis damping to the cur-
rent road surface and driving situation while
the vehicle is in motion. The DCC takes the
chassis tuning of the selected driving profile
into consideration
Selecting a driving profile

ignition is switched on and the vehicle is sta-
tionary or when driving → .
