USING STABILITY CONTROL
WARNINGS
Do not switch off stability control oruse Sport, Track or Drift mode whenusing a temporary spare wheel orafter inflating a tire using the temporarymobility kit.
If you switch stability control off,active city stop also turns off.
The system automatically turns on eachtime you switch the ignition on.
Press the button on the center console toswitch sport mode on or to switch thesystem off.
Switching Sport Mode On

DRIVE CONTROL
WARNING
Do not use Sport, Track or Drift modewhen using a temporary spare wheelor after inflating a tire using thetemporary mobility kit.
Your vehicle has various drive modes thatcan deliver driving experiences through asuite of sophisticated electronic systems.Each mode has preset vehicle settings tooptimize steering, all-wheel drive, torquevectoring, powertrain response, suspensionand electronic stability control.
Selectable Drive Modes
Press the button.
The available modes appear in theinformation display. Repeatedly press thebutton to scroll through the availablemodes. When your desired mode appearsin the information display, wait for fourseconds while the system sets the selectedmode or press the OK button on thesteering wheel.
Note:You may not be able to choose oneof the selectable drive modes for a shorttime after starting your vehicle in coldambient temperatures.
Selectable Drive Modes
Normal
The system defaults to normalmode when you start thevehicle. Vehicle settings tunedfor street driving.
Electronic stability control and tractioncontrol systems fully enabled.
Note:When using a programmed MyKeyyou cannot switch any other mode on.
Sport
Vehicle settings tuned forperformance street driving.
Electronic stability control and tractioncontrol systems fully enabled.
Note:When using a programmed MyKeyyou cannot switch this on.
Track
This mode is for track use only.Vehicle settings tuned foraggressive driving.
The system reduces brake systemintervention from the stability controlsystem and optimizes the road-holdingability of your vehicle. Electronic stabilitycontrol is set to reduced mode while thetraction control system is disabled apartfrom the electronic limited slip differentialfunction. Engine interventions from thestability control and traction controlsystems are also disabled.
Note:When using a programmed MyKeyyou cannot switch this on.
Drift
This mode is for track use only.Vehicle settings tuned forspirited and aggressive driving.
The system reduces brake systemintervention from the stability controlsystem and increases torque transfer tothe rear axle to allow controlled oversteerdrifts.
Electronic stability control is set to reducedmode while the traction control system isdisabled apart from the electronic limitedslip differential function. Engineinterventions from the stability control andtraction control systems are also disabled.

The electronic stability control or all-wheeldrive system may automatically turn offduring extreme drifting maneuvers. If asystem turns off, the electronic stabilitycontrol warning lamp illuminates or acorresponding all-wheel drive messageappears in the information display.Continue to drive and when normal drivingresumes, the systems automatically turnon within a short period. If the electronicstability control warning lamp remainsilluminated or a warning message remainsin the information display, have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note:When using a programmed MyKeyyou cannot switch this on.
Suspension Damping
Selectable Suspension Damping
Normal
The system defaults to normal mode whenyou start the vehicle. Vehicle suspensiondamping tuned for street driving.
Sport
Vehicle suspension damping tuned forperformance driving on flat roads or fortrack use. Sport mode gives firmersuspension damping characteristics.
To select normal or sport mode, do thefollowing:
1.Press and hold the button for a shortperiod of time. The current settingappears in the information display.Release the button again to change thesetting.
Enhanced Torque VectoringControl
The system consists of two elements:
•Torque vectoring control.Automatically applies brake torque onthe inner wheel in a curve to increasetraction and decrease understeer.
•Cornering understeer control.Automatically controls the tractionresponse of your vehicle when youaccelerate on high and low frictionsurfaces.
Unlike electronic stability control,enhanced torque vectoring control doesnot slow the vehicle. The system limitsexcessive wheel slip giving greatercornering ability.
Note:The system does not disableenhanced torque vectoring control if youswitch the stability control system ortraction control system off.
In addition to enhanced torque vectoringcontrol, your vehicle also has all-wheeldrive with dynamic torque vectoring.
This feature further improves theroad-holding and traction abilities of yourvehicle. See All-Wheel Drive (page 13).
