Integrated Dynamics System
Constantly controls your vehicle’s engine, transmission, High Voltage battery, EPS,
dampers, brakes, VSA ® and SH-AWD ® according to the mode you select.
You can choose between four modes, QUIET mode, SPORT mode, SPORT+ mode
and TRACK mode by turning the switch on the center console.
Current mode is displayed on the Driver Information Interface, and each mode will
appear differently.

You can set the mode to be selected when you set
the power mode to ON.
2 Customized Features P. 244
The mode may not be able to be changed under
some driving conditions. If mode change is necessary,
reduce speed or cornering speed.
This message will also be shown if you try to change
modes when any vehicl e systems have failed.

QUIET mode prioritizes quiet and relaxed
driving. The powertrain prioritizes EV
operation, quiet sound, and low engine speed
in all driving situations including start-up. • The engine speed is limited to 4,000rpm.
• The vehicle speed is limited to
approximately 120 mph (193 km/h).
SPORT mode gives the driver an everyday
New Sports eXperience. The dynamic systems
function to balance sport and touring driving
performance.

SPORT+ mode optimizes dynamic response
from all powertrain an d chassis systems -
perfect for your favorite winding road. • EV operation is elimin ated while operating
in SPORT+ .
TRACK mode gives maximum, consistent
performance from dyna mic systems during
track day lapping sessions. Hybrid battery
charge is maintained for consistent performance. • VSA ® OFF indicator is illuminated in TRACK
mode indicating reduced stability control.
This allows more body side slip and wheel
spin before VSA ® begins to operate.
• Integrated Dynamics switch must be turned
and held to the right for several seconds to
engage TRACK mode.

During TRACK mode, the climate control system may
weaken its function to pr ioritize cooling the High

3. Release the parking brake.
1Launch Control
Do not use this system when driving on wet or
slippery surfaces as you may lose control of the
vehicle.
The system puts a tremend ous load on the engine
and transmission. Frequent use of this system may
lead to reduced vehicle life.
The system does not function when: • VSA ® is off.
• The vehicle is not at standstill.
• The gear position is not in .
• A gear other than 1st gear is selected when the
system is in manual mode.
• The parking brake is applied.
• The vehicle is facing uphill or downhill on a steep
slope.
• The transmission temperatur e is too cold or too
hot.
• There is a problem with a vehicle system.
3WARNING
Using this system on public roads that are
used by other vehicles and pedestrians can
result in a collision involving serious injury
or death.
