Car modes

Updated 2024-05-15

The various car modes configure your car for specific situations and scenarios. You can activate the mode you need via the display.

Some activities require a specific car configuration or order of operations. When you select a car mode, the car either makes the necessary changes or guides you through the process.

The following car modes are available:

Tow mode
Parking comfort
Car wash mode

Tow mode

The tow mode allows you to have your car towed short distances1 at low speed. It will enable you to get your car onto a recovery vehicle's flatbed, or move it to the side of the road to avoid blocking traffic or causing accidents.

Important

Having your car towed without activating tow mode may damage it. Be sure to follow the instructions in the display until you have received confirmation that tow mode is active before your car is towed.

Parking comfort

If you plan to either stay in the car for a longer period of time while it's still parked, such as during charging, or leave the car while you run some errands, you can activate parking comfort. It allows a comfortable climate to be maintained in the car as well as give access to entertainment such as media players. Parking comfort is also accessible via the climate view.

Car wash mode

Car wash mode helps you get ready for using an automatic car wash by closing the windows, turning the wipers off, folding the wing mirrors in and activating air recirculation.
