SPORT MODE
• In Sport mode, the engine is more responsive to the accelerator pedal, and pro-
vides more power by increasing turbo boost.

position. Damage to the clutch can result from starting in third gear.
• Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, and never try to hold the

wear on the clutch.
