the following systems operate automatically in
response to various driving situations.

types of control modes to accommodate
various driving preferences. The control
modes can be selected with the “TRACK”

smooth normal driving. When the button is
pressed and held for one second, TRACK
mode is activated. The driving threshold
parameters are raised allowing the driver
more control over the vehicle.

“SPORT” mode for sporty driving or when
driving in mountainous regions with lots of curves. To cancel sport mode, push the
switch toward “SPORT” mode again.
If equipped, push the switch toward
the “SNOW” mode for accelerating and
