Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control (DMC)
allows the driver to adjust the
overall driving experience to
better suit driver preference
by adjusting vehicle systems
to fit specific driving needs.
Drive mode availability and
affected vehicle systems are
dependent on vehicle trim
level, region, and optional
features.
If the vehicle is in Tour Mode
or My Mode, it will stay in that
mode through future ignition
cycles. If the vehicle is in any
other mode, it will return to
Tour Mode when the vehicle is
restarted. When a mode is
selected, an indicator will
come on in the instrument
cluster and stay on.
