M Engine Dynamic Control

With M Engine Dynamic Control you can influ-

ence how sporty the reaction of your vehicle to

accelerator pedal movements is to be. Three

programs are available for engine control.

"P 400" program

In the "P 400" program the engine reacts gently

to the movement of the accelerator pedal. This

is, for example, ideal for city driving or driving on

snow. In the process, the fuel consumption is

minimal and the engine output is reduced.

"P 500" program

The "P 500" program provides maximum per-

formance and more spontaneous reaction of

the engine to accelerator pedal movements.

"P 500 Sport" program

In the "P 500 Sport" program the engine reacts

especially spontaneously and uncompromis-

ingly sporty with maximum performance to

accelerator pedal movements.

Selecting program

Each time the engine is started, the "P 400"

program is activated.

Press the POWER button to activate the

"P 500" program. Pressing the POWER button

repeatedly switches between the programs

"P 400" and "P 500".

You can also activate your preferred program

with the button on the steering wheel, refer

to MDrive on page 48. You can only activate the

"P 500 Sport" program with MDrive.

For the programs "P 500" and "P 500 Sport"

the LED in the POWER button lights up.
