Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your inputs.
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, maximizing
comfort. Your steering effort decreases
and the suspension movement is more
fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when you
desire enhanced traveling comfort.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable, controlled
ride and confident handling. 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.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. The suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes on a
more powerful tone. Sport mode is
ideal for use during more spirited
driving.
