Drive modes
The drive modes change the driving dynamics of your car and which settings are available.
The drive modes available in your car are all suitable for different scenarios and types of driving. Depending on which drive mode you select, certain driving dynamics may be affected, such as steering, suspension, braking and acceleration. Your car's estimated range is also affected. Each drive mode allows for different adjustable settings related to both driving and climate.
| Standard | This is the default mode and is recommended for everyday use. |
|---|---|
| Range | This mode limits climate and driving performance to maximise range. |
| Performance | By prioritising performance, your car will allow for quicker acceleration and an enhanced road handling experience. This mode decreases your expected range. |
| Off-road | The off-road mode is suitable for when you're driving on roads with limited accessibility or rough terrain. You can also use off-road mode when you're driving on loose surfaces as deep snow or sand. Your car's suspension is raised, giving it a higher ground clearance. The off-road mode also activates hill descent control, allowing your car to brake in a more controlled and active way when driving downhill. |
Note
Default drive mode
If the car is in range mode when you turn it off, range will be selected the next time you start the car. If you are using another mode, standard mode will be selected by default.
Off-road limitations
The off-road mode has limitations and is only available below certain driving speeds. Hill descent control is available until you reach 40 km/h (25 mph). Driving at higher speeds automatically disables the off-road mode in full. If this happens while driving on a steep downhill gradient, the automatic braking effect from hill descent control will gradually decrease.
Driving with the suspension raised is only available at speeds below 25 km/h (15 mph). If you exceed this speed, your car's suspension automatically returns to its previous height.
When Pilot Assist is activated, the off-road mode can't be selected.
The off-road mode is not designed to be used on public roads.
