5 speed auto

More info:
- gearbox in "D" mode (not "S")

P.S. most of noises audible are from camera chain, all the keys/alarm remote controls/etc, rather than from the car itself :)

@F0rAllManKind this is not the ABS , its the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) . when its on it means the traction control is off (for better acceleration). when its off - traction control is on and also it controls each brake on each wheel induvidially (for better handling in corners and so) :)

ABS light is on, do u need a new module?

Hi, nice car!

I would like to ask you a question please. Did you know how much liters your car uses to do 100 kilometers at 140km/h? Some people said many things and I would like to ask directly to an owner like you.

Thanks.

Gustavo
