sport)
Press program mode selector switch 
repeatedly until the letter of the 
desired program mode appears in the 
multifunction display.
Select for comfort driving:
The vehicle starts out in second 
gear (both forward and reverse) for 
gentler starts. This does not apply if 
full throttle is applied or gear 
range 1 is selected.
Traction and driving stability are 
improved on icy roads.
Upshifts occur earlier even when 
you give more gas. The engine then 
operates at lower rpms and the 
wheels are less likely to spin.
Select for standard driving:
The vehicle starts out in first gear.
Upshifts occur later.

Never change the program mode when the 
gear selector lever is out of park position P. This 
could result in a change of driving characteristics 
for which you may not be prepared.

The last selected program mode (or S) is 
switched on when the engine is restarted.
