Too Afraid to Ask

Comfort mode makes the car feel smoother and easier to drive by making the suspension softer. It’s like when you choose a relaxed setting on a car’s steering or brakes.

Technical Definition

Comfort mode is a driving setting that softens the suspension and dampers to prioritize ride comfort over aggressive handling. It often reduces steering effort and lowers tire contact forces.
