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.

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.

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:

desired program mode appears in the

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.

Upshifts occur earlier even when
you give more gas. The engine then
operates at lower rpms and the
wheels are less likely to spin.

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
