Agility Select

When I first got my ride, I can feel the steering weight difference between
Eco/COmfort against Sport/Sport Plus
but now it all feels the same, anyone has the same issue?

There is no onboard error message but I am pretty sure there is no difference now
my wheel pressure is 250Kpa as recommended
Any advice?

Only if you have Airmatic changes using Agility Select are experienced. In another case, there is little difference between Eco, Comfort and Sport and Sport +

That has nothing to do with the steering, which is what the OP was asking about. Agility affects the steering, the shift points, and the throttle response without Airmatic. With Airmatic, it also alters the suspension settings.

yes you are right - your explanation is technically true. OP mentions, however, about the impression and feeling - and then Airmatic and Agility Select Affects the steering, the shift points, the throttle response and the suspension settings and it is what OP expected -overall changes in the characteristics of the car with one switch

i do not have Air Matic so Agility Select for me affects only Steering Weight/ Throttle reponse or Gear Shift Points

When I first collected the car 4mths ago, I can truly feel the weight difference of the steering between
1. Eco/Comfort
against
2. Sport/Sport Plus

But now not anymore, very strange, there is no onboard error
I tried to play with I mode (individual mode) for the steering toggle and confirmed no difference when I switch both comfort and sports steering

There was an event last week though, I had an SRS warning
which the dealer found nothing and they just cleared the fault through an software diagnose

I was assured it was not the notorious "clock spring" faulty in the steering column as the vehicle is new, but now I am not too sure anyway.........
seems like something is indeed not quite right
