All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive (AWD 9
), also called four-
wheel drive, means that power is distributed to all four wheels, which improves traction.
To achieve the best traction, power is auto- matically directed to the wheels that have thebest grip. The system continuously calculatesthe need for torque to the rear wheels, andcan immediately redistribute up to half of theengine's torque to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive also has a stabilizing effect at higher speeds. In normal driving conditions,most of the engine's power is directed to thefront wheels. When the vehicle is stationary,all-wheel drive is always activated in prepara-tion for maximum traction during acceleration. All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on which drive mode is selected.

Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving cha- racteristics in different ways to enhance andsimplify the driving experience in certaintypes of situations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehi- cle's many functions and settings in differentdriving situations. The following systems areadapted to help optimize driving characteris-tics in each drive mode: Steering
Engine/transmission/all-wheel drive
Brakes
Shock absorbers
Instrument panel
Start/Stop function
Climate control settings
Select the drive mode that is adapted to the current driving conditions. Keep in mind thatnot all drive modes are available in all situa-tions.
Available drive modesWhen the engine is started, the vehicle will be in Comfort mode and the start/stop function
will be activated. Drive mode can be changed once the vehicle is started, e.g. to
Individualmode. Once Individual mode is selected, you
can adjust settings to personal preferences, e.g. to show the tachometer.

Comfort
Comfort is the vehicle's default mode. This
setting offers driving comfort, light steering and soft suspension. In
Comfort mode, no tachometer will be dis-
played in the instrument panel 10
.
Eco
Adapt the vehicle for more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving with Eco mode.
In this mode, the Start/Stop function is acti- vated and certain climate settings arereduced. When driving in
Eco mode, an ECO gauge
indicating how economical the driving is will be displayed in the instrument panel.
Off Road
Helps maximize the vehicle's ability to tra- verse difficult terrain or poor roads.
Steering is light and all-wheel drive and thelow-speed function with assistance for driving downhill (HDC 11
) are activated. The Start/Stop
function is deactivated. This mode can only be activated at low speeds. The permitted speed range will beshown in the speedometer. If this speed is exceeded,
Off Road mode will be deactivated
and another drive mode activated. In
Off Road mode, a compass will be dis-
played between the speedometer and the tachometer in the instrument panel.
NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used for normal street driving.
Dynamic
Dynamic mode is designed to help pro-
vide sportier driving characteristics and a faster acceleration response.
Gear shifting will be faster and more distinctand the transmission will prioritize gears witha higher traction force. Steering response is faster and suspension is stiffer 12
to help reduce body roll when corner-
ing. The Start/Stop function is deactivated.
Dynamic mode is also available in a Polestar
Engineered* version.
Individual
Customizes drive mode to personal prefer- ences. Select one of the drive modes as a basis andadjust the settings to achieve your preferreddriving characteristics. These settings will bestored in the active driver profile and will beavailable every time the vehicle is unlockedwith that remote key. Individual drive mode is only available if it has been activated in the center display.

424 The ECO gauge indicates how economical current driving is:
A low reading in the green area of thegauge indicates economical driving.
A high reading is shown when driving isnot economical, e.g. heavy braking orrapid acceleration.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showinghow a reference driver would drive in the samedriving situation. This is shown by the shortpointer in the gauge.
ECO ClimateIn Eco mode, ECO climate is automatically
activated in the passenger compartment to help reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Eco drive mode is activated, set-
tings for certain climate system and elec- tricity consuming functions are reduced.Some of these settings can be reset man-ually, but full functionality will only be restored by switching off
Eco mode or
adapting the Individual* drive mode to full
climate system functionality.
If condensation forms on the windows, tap the max defroster button, which will function nor-mally.

), which facilitates and improves
traction and control on rough and slippery sur- faces. The system is intended to be used atlow speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25mph).
To keep in mind when using HDC
If the function is switched off while drivingon a steep downhill gradient, brakingeffect will be gradually reduced.
HDC can be used in gear positions
D and
R , and in manual gears 1 or 2.
It is not possible to manually shift to thirdgear or higher when HDC is active.
