Drive dynamic control switch and driving experience switch 

The driving dynamic control switch is used to operate Dynamic Driving Control.

The new Dynamic Driving Control has the following innovations:

  1. All of the drive and driving stability control systems installed in the vehicle are activated. The central control unit for this is the Integrated Chassis Management (ICM).
  2. A number of different programs are available for selection:
    • COMFORT
    • NORMAL
    • SPORT
    • SPORT+

An extra mode is available if a driving experience switch is fitted: ECO PRO.

The selected program appears in the instrument cluster's display screen (KOMBI). Individual settings can be selected at the Central Information Display (CID) using the "Options" menu.
