How to adjust driving modes in GLC?

Mercedes-Benz GLC driving mode switching method is as follows: With the vehicle started, locate the driving mode option in the trip computer by using the central control touchpad or multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, then you can switch modes. Below is an introduction to Mercedes' 4 driving modes: 1. When ECO mode is activated, throttle response slows down and engine power reduces to achieve fuel efficiency. 2. In COMFORT mode, the transmission and throttle response are balanced with moderate suspension settings, providing comfortable driving. 3. In SPORT mode, the chassis becomes firmer, transmission and throttle response quicken, and gear shifts occur later to deliver stronger power. 4. In SPORT+ mode, the chassis is at its stiffest to enhance stability during high-speed cornering. The throttle becomes more responsive, and the transmission keeps engine RPM in a higher range to maximize power output.

After driving for a long time, I have my own experience in adjusting the driving modes of the GLC. There is a small scroll wheel button on the left side of the steering wheel or near the center console. Simply toggle it left or right to select the mode: Comfort mode is suitable for daily commuting, and it doesn’t feel bumpy even on uneven roads; Sport mode provides faster acceleration, making overtaking on highways more enjoyable; Eco mode saves fuel, which is great for saving money during traffic jams. After starting, the system defaults to Comfort mode. When you want to switch, the dashboard will display a confirmation icon. It’s best to adjust before stopping at a traffic light, not while driving to avoid distraction. Switch flexibly according to road conditions—for example, stick to Comfort mode for safety on rainy and slippery roads. Remember, different modes affect engine response and suspension stiffness, so try them out to find the best feel for you.

I'm quite particular about technical details. To adjust the GLC's driving modes, you first need to locate the dynamic selector paddle, usually found in the center console area or below the steering wheel. Press the button or turn the dial to select between Eco, Comfort, and Sport modes: Eco optimizes fuel economy and reduces engine load; Comfort balances suspension response; Sport enhances torque distribution for quicker acceleration. The operation is straightforward – once the options pop up on the instrument cluster, you can lock in your selection. It's recommended to test adjustments on straight roads to avoid sudden acceleration impacts. Mode changes also coordinate with transmission response, so regularly check to ensure button sensitivity. If you frequently go off-road or take long trips, Sport mode offers better anti-slip performance during climbs, while Eco is the top choice for urban commuting.

When I first drove the GLC, I relied on buttons to adjust the driving modes. There's a wheel near the center console—just turn it to select Comfort for a quiet and smooth ride, Sport for quick acceleration and noticeable push-back feeling, or Eco for fuel efficiency. Make sure your hand is steady when switching, as the dashboard will display color changes to confirm the mode. Use Eco in city traffic jams and switch to Sport on highways for more power. Remember to test the feel after the first start-up and avoid operating it while turning—safety first. The operation is simple and takes just seconds; practice makes perfect.
