Operating Principle
Adaptive Drive reduces body roll when cornering and during sudden maneuvers. It makes steering easier by reducing the required steering wheel angle, and makes the ride smoother and more dynamic.
Chassis Settings

► Comfort: the soft setting provides comfort on long-distance trips.
► Sport: the sport setting makes the vehicle's handling more responsive.

Press the button.
Each press of the button switches the chassis setting.
► Sport setting: the LED in the button lights up and SPORT appears in the instrument cluster.
