These systems have a range of modes which you can choose from in order to customize your ideal driving experience: • Comfort - Provides a more relaxed driving experience. Steering effort is decreased, suspension movement is more fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when enhanced traveling comfort is desired. • Normal - Delivers a balanced combination of comfortable, controlled ride and confident handling and powerful yet quiet powertrain sound. This mode provides an engaging drive experience and a direct connection to the road without sacrificing any of the composure demanded from a luxury vehicle. Unwanted noises from the powertrain are cancelled while desired sounds are shaped to deliver a smooth powerful note. This setting is ideal for everyday use and daily driving. • Sport - Provides a sportier driving experience. Suspension stiffens, with an emphasis on handling and control.
