Automatic drive program

Drive program E is characterized by the following:

  • optimal fuel consumption resulting from the automatic transmission shifting up sooner
  • the vehicle pulling away more gently in forward and reverse gears, unless the accelerator pedal is depressed fully
  • increased sensitivity. This improves driving stability on slippery road surfaces, for example
  • the automatic transmission shifting up sooner. This results in the vehicle being driven at lower engine speeds and the wheels being less likely to spin
