What Are the Mercedes-Benz Drive Modes?

Mercedes-Benz Driving Modes

Our vehicles integrate a technology called DYNAMIC SELECT. This feature allows you to customize gear shifts, throttle input, suspension stance, and steering sharpness to fine-tune the way your Mercedes-Benz handles on Burlington streets. It does this by allowing you to choose between driving modes. Take a moment to learn about all the driving mode features with DYNAMIC SELECT. We’ll tell you how to use Mercedes-Benz drive modes and more. Once you’re done reading, fill out a pre-approval and explore the Mercedes-Benz offers at Mercedes-Benz Burlington.

 

 

Mercedes-Benz Driving Modes Explained

With our detailed guide, you can explore each one and learn how to use the Mercedes-Benz drive modes. Take a look below:

  • Comfort: This is the feature’s version of “Normal Mode.” If you’re looking for smooth handling and a middle ground between sportiness and efficiency, “Comfort Mode” is a great compromise.
  • ECO: Sacrifice a little torque to increase your efficiency in the stop-and-go traffic of the Hamilton area with “ECO Mode.”
  • Sport: So, what does “Sport Mode” mean? This mode sharpens your steering and allows revs to run higher before gear shifts. This means you’re enjoying the benefit of high-rev torque in naturally aspirated petrol models. Your suspension will flatten, which improves cornering at high speeds.
  • Individual: This mode allows you to customize your handling. You can tweak throttle input, adjust suspension, and so much more. You can even save your settings for future joyrides.
  • Sport+: We dare you to shift to “Sport+” next time you’re alone on that back country road for a Sunday joyride. That is all.
  • Slippery: This mode optimizes traction and suspension tightness to handle better on wet or icy roads.
  • Off-road: Increase ground clearance and distribute power to wheels with the most traction to optimize your vehicle’s handling on rocks or in mud.
  • Off-road+: This puts your model in its lower gears and locks the differential to provide 50/50 torque distribution across each axle. Mind you, this mode is only available with the Off-Roading Package.
  • Race: This mode is available on certain AMG® models and provides the sharpest throttle response, swiftest gear changes, and most responsive handling of any of the settings.
