DRIVING SYSTEMS/MODES
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems operate
automatically in response to various driving
situations.
1If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the traction control system may
reduce power from the engine to the
wheels. Turning the system off may make
it easier for you to rock the vehicle in
order to free it. Press the button again to
turn the traction control back on.
2Your vehicle may be equipped with two
types of control modes to accommodate various driving preferences. The control
modes can be selected with the “TRACK” button. Normal mode allows secure and
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.
3If equipped, push the switch toward the “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 driving
on slippery road surfaces, such as snow. To cancel snow mode, push the switch
toward “SNOW” mode again.
For more detailed information, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
