Default

purely transmission, and only the change points. Throttle response is the same in D as it is in S mode. The transmission ECU has a number of shift programs and it dynamically alters based on your input via the throttle. If you make rapid throttle changes, as opposed to gentle then it assumes you want a more sporty style of driving and will adapt to suite. The main differences between D and S are that in S change points are higher and in S mode 6th gear is locked out, so you have 5 gears only.

For sporty suspension, you need to place the car suspension into Dynamic mode. That drops the suspension 20mm and stiffens it slightly.
