MY 2016/new stuff:sailing and last mode functions
Hey Guys
Havent seen it from any of the displayed threads here so I thought itd be worth mentioning those (:

Sailing function helps further reducing gas consumption (when the driver releases the accelerator in a speed range between 60 and 160 km/h, the clutch of the MCT transmission is disengaged and the engine is decoupled from the powertrain. The electronics reduce the engine speed to idle level, and the driving resistance is reduced by the compression and frictional forces of the engine in overrun mode, while "last mode" function stores the transmission mode for four hours after engine being switched off, which prevents a previously activated transmission mode or individual parameters (engine, transmission, exhaust system, damper setup, 3-stage ESP®) from being deleted when turning the beast on again.
Kinda cool isnt it ?
