SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING MODES OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A system for controlling driving modes of a vehicle having a driver, wherein each of said driving modes is adapted to control a behaviour of said vehicle during operation of the vehicle in said driving mode, each of said driving modes being associated with a set of driving sub-modes, wherein each driving sub-mode is adapted to be activated by the vehicle in response to ambient circumstances, wherein one of said driving modes is associated with a first and a second driving sub-mode, said first and second driving sub-modes being accompanied with a first and a second driver controlled setting respectively, said system further comprising input means for selection between said driving modes and for controlling said driver controlled settings when applicable, wherein said first and second driver controlled settings are adapted to be manually set by the driver through said input means only upon activation of the accompanying driving sub-mode by the vehicle.

Abstract
A system for controlling driving modes of a vehicle having a driver, where each of the driving modes is adapted to control a behaviour of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle in the driving mode, each of the driving modes being associated with a set of driving sub-modes. Each driving sub-mode is adapted to be activated by the vehicle in response to ambient circumstances. One of the driving modes is associated with a first and a second driving sub-mode, the first and second driving sub-modes being accompanied with a first and a second driver controlled setting respectively. The system also includes an input device for selection between the driving modes and for controlling the driver controlled settings. The first and second driver controlled settings are adapted to be manually set by the driver through the input device only upon activation of the accompanying driving sub-mode by the vehicle.
