Car is in "S" Mode ... but what's Sport II?

Still confused as to the different settings etc. I searched on the forum and couldn't really find what I was looking for; I want to make sure I am getting everything I can out of the car.


Can someone explain the differences in mode? How to get to different modes?

I know about the C, S, M modes (the button next to the shifting lever), but what's this Sport II mode? Is there anything else I'm missing?


Thanks for any help ...

Sport II is a suspension setting.

That's the shock/strut button that's next to the "raise the car level" button?

Sport I is one lit red light and Sport II is both red lights lit?


What exactly does this do to the nature and driveability characteristics of the car?

Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes sir, you got it. Sport I the suspension will drop 10mm and stiffen slightly and in Sport II the suspension will drop an additional 10mm and will stiffen slightly more. (Anyone please correct me if me if I'm mistaken) So if you're hitting the twisties or you just want to slam the car a little more hit the button
