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.
