ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission shifts gears

The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or
down hills or driving around corners. This feature gives you better control and
a more connected driving experience.
(if equipped)
SPORT MODE (if equipped)
SPORT mode allows greater response and
control when driving on mountain roads
as well as on freeways by adjusting the
transmission shift schedule.
Fuel consumption increases slightly because
higher engine speeds (i.e., lower gear position) are used in
Sports mode compared to normal mode. Use Sports mode
and normal mode depending on the road conditions and
situation. The SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated while in SPORT mode and is not illuminated
while in normal mode.
