DRIVE SELECTION (if equipped)
By selecting Sport mode, greater vehicle
response is achieved through automatic
adjustments in transmission shift control
and engine throttle control. This provides
additional quick acceleration which may be
needed to safely make maneuvers such as
lane changes, merging onto freeways, or
passing other vehicles.
Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT
mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.
