Operation, Safety
Sport modeWhen the Sport mode is switched on, the exhaust
gas back pressure in the lower and middle ranges
is reduced in the variable exhaust system. This
serves to produce a marked increase in torque in
the engine speed range from approx. 3000 rpm
and 4000 rpm. The best values for vehicle accele-
ration and low-end torque are achieved when
Sport mode is switched on.
Switching Sport mode on and off
fPress button in the centre console.
When Sport mode is switched on, the light-
emitting diode in the button is lit.
Note on operation
After the ignition is switched off, Sport mode is

separate PCM Owner’s Manual.Stopwatch on the instrument panel
The stopwatch has an analogue and a digital
display.
The large pointer of the analogue display
measures the seconds. The two small pointers

at zero after 12 hours.
Seconds and increments of 1/100th of a second
can be read on the digital display.
The digital display and the display in the on-board
computer can indicate up to 99 hours and
59 minutes.
The stopwatch can be swivelled both to the left
and to the right.
Stopwatch displays:
– on the stopwatch on the instrument panel,
– in the on-board computer menu CHRONO,
– on the performance display in the PCM.
