G63 cylinder switching

Noticed my 2020 G63 has a mode in which it turns of a bank of cylinders when cruising or below a certain speed...it shows an icon on the dash with a diagram of the cylinders and a 4 below.

this only happens in certain instances and sometimes under the same driving conditions won’t happen?

anyone identify when it does this?

...as stated in this thread, it needs constant speed, low RPM, C-mode, no acceleration, no breaking, no uphill, ...not sure if it's mandatory the 9th gear.

I experienced same, but after research, I figured is normal as the engine is only running on 4 cylinders in comfort mode or individual mode

I just fill up… I don’t observe the consumption data. It’s fun
