2005 c220 cdi diesel 'sports mode'
when my newly purchased car is in comfort mode mode it has a very firm ride as if it's in sport mode,in fact there seems no difference,I am wondereing even though the dash says its on comfort mode it's not.coule a fuse /relay have gone ?does anyone now which fuses/relays are involved please.

The C/S button on my 2006 C220 CDi does absolutely nothing and this question has been asked several times with no answer. I was hoping that by pushing it the fuel economy would increase 25%, wishfull thinking.

I think in some the sport mod only changes the transmission gearing,in comfort mod the vehicle starts off in second followed by shorter shifts.It does not change the shocks for a firmer or softer ride.But this is only my guess no expert by any means.

The button does not alter the suspension at all,c stands for comfort and s stands for standard as I understand it not sport.

From my manual
Press program mode selector switch repeatedly until the letter of the desired program mode appears in the multifunction display. Select C for comfort driving: The vehicle starts out in second gear (both forward and reverse) for gentler starts. This does not apply if full throttle is applied or gear range 1 is selected. Traction and driving stability are improved on icy roads. Upshifts occur earlier even when you give more gas. The engine then operates at lower rpms and the wheels are less likely to spin. Select S for standard driving: The vehicle starts out in first gear. Upshifts occur later. |
hi to all,
i had exactly this question and i think you guys have virtually cleared it all up for me... i say 'almost' as i have a final question that was mentioned by Gary Smith....is there any difference at all in fuel economy between the gearbox modes? thanks again for your knowledge and experience bd |
