LIM not available in Sport+

Breach · 05-14-2019, 01:27 PM

Probably not worth a thread, but after 8 years of ownership I've just noticed that speed LIM is not available in Sport+ mode. Switching to Sport+ disables LIM and switching on LIM puts the car back to Sport mode. Latest istep (pre-LCI). Probably same with ACC... any ideas why that is?

Reading your thread made me wonder, so, (no LIM on my car), I tried cruise control in sport+, and guess what, it immediately changes the mode back to sport.

I guess design decision is made to not allow these in sport+ mode. In a way that makes sense (at least it does to me). Sport+ is reserved for that "spirited" (and ideally closed road/track) all out fun.

There are no cruise control or other automatic drive functions enabled when full DSC is disabled (either DTC or DSC OFF). They are mutually exclusive for safety/liability.

Thanks, that makes sense!
