*: If equipped
Each time the switch is pressed, the
system changes betw een sport mode
and normal mode.
1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel
economy, quietness, and dynamic per-
formance. Suitable for normal driving.
2 Sport mode
Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration.
This mode also changes the steering
feel, making it suitable for when agile
driving response is desired, such as
when driving on roads with many
curves.
When sport mode is selected, sport
mode indicator comes on.
■Automatic deactivation of sport
mode
If the engine switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode, the drive mode
will be changed to normal mode.Driving mode select

■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle St ability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol+)
Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stabil-
ity when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering per-
formance.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to acce lerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Po wer Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■Secondary Collision Brake (if
equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collisi on and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
help reduce the poss ibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate au tomatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.
