How To Select Driving Modes In Mercedes-Benz Cars

When people think of Mercedes-Benz, they think of lush leather interiors, beautiful stylish styles, cutting-edge technology, and an all-round comfortable drive. However, the team at Mercedes-Benz understands an amazing car isn’t just about the different exteriors and how much power it has, it is about the ability to customize your vehicle to your needs. This is why there are multiple driving modes, otherwise known as the DYNAMIC SELECT® drive program, which allows you to adapt transmission shift points, handling, and even throttle response to match your personal driving style. To find out more about the five different drive modes that you can experience, continue reading for a brief summary on how each works.

Individual Mode

If you are someone who knows exactly how you want your ride to feel, the Individual Mode is perfect for you. Designed for individuals who want to fully customize their ride, simply use the touchscreen display to change the different settings to find a perfect balance of performance, efficiency, and comfort.

Eco Mode

The Eco Mode is the one to turn to when you are seeking incomparable fuel economy. By propelling your GLC in a manner that is extremely fuel-efficient, this mode will allow you experience an engine response that is more relaxed, earlier gear changes, and modified settings that accommodate climate control in a way that maximizes fuel consumption.

Comfort Mode

When you get behind the wheel of your Mercedes-Benz car, the first DYNAMIC SELECT® drive mode setting that you will experience is the Comfort Mode. Whether you prioritize fuel economy or comfort, the Comfort Mode is aimed at heightening your experience to provide a balanced and economical ride. This is especially useful for those who commonly undertake long rides or simply prefer a comfortable suspension.

Sport Mode

Sport Mode is for individuals who love behind-the-wheel thrills. By switching on to this mode, you can sharpen your vehicle’s performance to more responsive steering, an adaptive suspension that is stiffer, and other specially selected subtle changes that can make driving a true thrill.

Sport+ Mode

Sport+ Mode takes Sport Mode to a new level. Adding on the changes that were already introduced in Sport Mode, Sport+ Mode fully sacrifices fuel economy for unparalleled performance and power.
