1. Battery temperature pre-conditioning: This function ensures a fast charging speed of the battery in all smart #1s and #3s.  

1. Car wash mode: drivers can now choose between "hand wash mode" and "automatic car wash mode" via the drop-down menu, making the car wash experience even more relaxed.  

1. Valet Mode: certain restrictions can now be applied for vehicle functions and the vehicle owner. Shared user information can be protected on the central display when the vehicle is being used by others.  

1. Emergency lane keeping assist: from now on this function can be manually activated, allowing drivers to have more control over their vehicle.
