32 In Brief
Sport mode 3
To activate
Press button SPORT.
SPORT mode is used to change
damping 3,steering 3, throttle application
and the shift point for Easytronic 3 and
automatic transmission 3 while driving.
Damping and steering become more direct
and provide better contact with the road
surface. The engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator movements.
With Easytronic 3 and automatic
transmission 3, the shift times are
shortened and shifting takes place at
higher revs (not with cruise control
enabled 3).

Tyre pressure loss
monitoring system
(DDS = Deflation Detection
System) 3
The deflation detection system
continuously monitors the speed of all
wheels while driving. If a tyre loses
pressure, it grows smaller and therefore
rotates more quickly than the other wheels.
If the system detects a difference in speed,
the control indicator
w illuminates in red.
After tyre pressure is corrected or a tyre or
wheel is changed, the system must be
initialised by pressing the DDS button.
