Default C7 drive mode

Please info about "drive fashion" mode. In what mode are the settings? What is the best way to ride in the rain, on which to blame? On what can I "take to the decha" without fear that it will throw away?

I think language is a bit of a barrier here. "Take to the Decha" means driving to Ethiopia for me! So the owner's manual might be too tough to read.

To make it simple:

For bad weather, like rain, drive in W
For better gas mileage on highway, drive in E
For normal road cruising, drive in T
For spirited driving, use S
For off-road track events, use T (or specialized PTM mode)

The car is still very powerful, so no mode is totally safe. Do not disable traction control on the street.

Hope that helps,

Dave
