Abstract
The present invention provides a motor vehicle having driver-selectable first and second modes (eco, dynamic) of operation and driver-operable means for selecting the first and second modes. Driver selection of the second mode (dynamic) when the first mode (eco) has also been selected causes the vehicle to deselect the first mode (eco), subsequent deselection by the driver of the second mode (dynamic) causing the first mode (eco) to be reselected automatically by the vehicle. If the first mode (eco) is selected by the driver when the vehicle is in the second mode (dynamic), the vehicle selects the first mode (eco) in addition to the second mode (dynamic). A further aspect is directed to a method.
