Above the ventilation shutter in the center console is a keypad which is used to select the driving mode (ACTIVE CHASSIS SETTINGS).

There are three different driving modes which can be selected:

COMFORT
SPORT
ADVANCED.

In the "COMFORT" driving mode, ride comfort is prioritized. In "SPORT" mode driving pleasure is prioritized.

The "ADVANCED" mode sets the shock absorbers to a characteristic optimized for more aggressive driving.

The selected driving mode is confirmed by an LED which lights in the keypad.

The keypad is connected via a cable directly to the suspension module (SUM).

The lighting has a rheostat function, i.e. the light level is set via the light switch in exactly the same was as for the combined instrument panel and the radio.

There are diagnostics for the keypad.
