  • Weather Mode: Tailors traction and stability control to minimize wheel slip and maintain grip on slippery, wet, or icy roads.
  • My Mode: Lets you save your preferred everyday configurations for steering, suspension, and engine sound.
  • Z Mode: Allows you to fully customise powertrain, engine sound, braking, and steering response. Also lets you adjust transmission shift points.
