WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
The system delivers a driving experience
through a suite of sophisticated electronic
vehicle systems. These systems optimize
steering, handling and powertrain
response. This provides a single location
to control multiple systems performance
settings.
Changing the drive mode changes the
functionality of the following systems:
•
Electric power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select. See
•
Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving. See
•
Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
inputs.
•
Transmission controls become
optimized with shift schedules tuned
to each mode.
•
Four-wheel drive settings are optimized
and tuned to each mode.
•
Electric vehicle mode selections may
be limited. See
The system tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.
Note:
Not all settings may be available.
Note:
The system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system for
proper operation. If a mode is unavailable
due to a system fault or change in gear
shifter position, the mode defaults to
Normal.

result in damage not covered by the
