To activate Sport+ Mode using an AMG steering wheel, follow these steps, depending on your vehicle's specific configuration:
1. Locate the Driving Mode Button
AMG models typically feature a mode selector button on the steering wheel, often on the left or right side of the wheel. This button can be used to toggle between different driving modes.
2. Identify the Driving Mode Options
- In most AMG vehicles, you can choose between various modes such as Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual.
- When you're looking for Sport+ mode, be sure the button or selector has the option marked with the icon or label corresponding to Sport+ (often an enhanced or aggressive mode symbol).
3. Activate Sport+ Mode
-
Press the button once or use the mode toggle to cycle through the modes until Sport+ appears. This may be on your MBUX screen or in the instrument cluster display.
- If your vehicle is equipped with a dynamic drive mode dial integrated into the steering wheel, you may simply need to turn the dial to select Sport+.
4. Confirm the Mode
Once you've selected Sport+, the system will adjust various driving parameters, such as:
- Throttle response: Sharper for quicker acceleration.
- Suspension settings: Firmer suspension for better handling.
- Transmission behavior: Faster gear shifts.
- Exhaust sound: Enhanced exhaust noise (depending on your model).
You will likely see Sport+ displayed on the dashboard or in the center screen, confirming that the mode is active.
5. Adjust to Your Preference (Optional)
Some AMG vehicles allow you to customize certain aspects of Sport+ Mode, like suspension stiffness or exhaust sound, through the AMG Drive Unit or MBUX settings. If you're looking for more specific adjustments, you can fine-tune your setup for the most aggressive driving experience.
Why Sport+ Mode?
Activating Sport+ Mode makes the vehicle's performance more aggressive and track-oriented. It sharpens the throttle response, enhances the exhaust note, optimizes the suspension, and makes the vehicle more responsive to inputs, especially during spirited driving or track use.
In summary, Sport+ Mode can be easily activated using the AMG steering wheel’s dedicated button or dial, and it brings an intense driving experience ideal for high-performance situations.
