Which drive modes can I select?
The car is powered by two motors - one electric and
one diesel.
Different drive modes can be selected as desired.
A "wrong" drive mode cannot be selected - a com-
puter controls and switches to another drive mode
if necessary, depending on what is optimal based
on the combination of driveability and fuel economy,
amongst other things.
