Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control attempts to add
a sportier feel, provide a more
comfortable ride, or assist in very
hilly or mountainous terrain. This
system simultaneously changes the
software calibration of various
sub-systems. Depending on the
option package, available features,
and mode selected, the suspension,
steering, and powertrain will change
calibrations to achieve the desired
mode characteristics. The vehicle is
equipped with Continuous Damping
Control (CDC). Selecting the various
Driver Modes adjusts the ride of the
vehicle to enhance the ride
performance for the road conditions
and the selected mode.
Driver Mode Control Switch
The Driver Mode Control has four
modes: Tour, Sport, Mountain, and
Hold. Press
z
on the MODE switch
on the center console to make a
mode selection. The first press of
the switch will always show the Tour
Mode. Subsequent presses will
scroll though the available modes.

Tour Mode
Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth, soft
ride. Each time the vehicle is
started, it will return to Tour Mode.
Sport Mode
Use where road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response.
When selected, the Sport Mode
indicator will display in the DIC.
The electric drive unit may remain in
gear longer than it would in the
normal driving mode based on
braking, throttle input, and vehicle
lateral acceleration. The steering
will change to provide more precise
control. The suspension will change
to provide better body control and
handling performance.
Sport mode also allows the engine
to start to provide additional
acceleration performance even if
battery is charged.
Mountain Mode
Use when driving in very hilly or
mountainous terrain.
