Operation Manual

24 In brief
SPORT mode 3
To activate
Press the SPORT button. The LED in the
button illuminates.
SPORT mode is used to change
damping 3, steering 3, throttle application
and the shifting times and shifting points
for Easytronic 3 and automatic
transmission 3 while driving.
Damping and steering 3 become more
direct and provide better contact with the
road surface. The engine reacts more
quickly to accelerator movements.
With automatic transmission 3, the shift
times are reduced and gear changes occur
at higher engine speeds (not when cruise
control 3 is active).

Tyre pressure monitoring
system 3
The tyre pressure monitoring system
continuously monitors the pressure of all
four tyres while the vehicle is being driven.
A pressure sensor is installed in each wheel.
The inflation pressures of the individual
tyres are transmitted to a controller, where
they are compared.
The current tyre pressures can be
displayed on the graphical information
display or the colour information display 3.
Deviating tyre pressures are displayed in
the form of messages on the information
display whilst driving.
