Drive Modes
Different drive modes are available to
alter the vehicle’s powertrain, exhaust
and stability characteristics.
N
NOTE: ABS (Anti-Lock Braking)
and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist)
are retained in any mode selected,
see page 163 for further details.
Tour Mode
(Default setting, normal road use)
– Exhaust sound, engine speed range,
driveability, ESC and performance
are optimised for refined driving.
– For automatic vehicles, gear shift
points are optimised to offer the
optimum fuel economy.
– ‘Tour’ layout of information within
driver’s display screen shown, see
page 59.
Sport Mode
(Only for suitable road conditions)
– Engine idle speed from start-up will
momentarily flare up (increase) and
then return to normal if option is se-
lected prior to engine starting.
– A reduction in ESC settings allow
for increased power-induced wheel
slippage thresholds and no throttle
reduction on understeer.
– Exhaust sound increased, becoming
progressively louder based on engine
speed and throttle pedal position.
– Throttle pedal response and
maximum continuous engine speed
are increased.
– For automatic transmission vehicles,
lower gears may be automatically se-
lected for improved engine response.
– ‘Sport’ layout of information within
driver’s display screen shown, see
page 59.
Track Mode (If Equipped)
(For dry condition track use only)
– Engine idle speed from start-up
characteristics carried over from
‘Sport’ mode.
– Optimised traction and corner exit
characteristics with reduced ESC
intervention.
– For manual transmission vehicles,
engine idle speed raised when en-
gine reaches operating temperature.
– Throttle pedal response and maxi-
mum continuous engine speed char-
acteristics carried over from ‘Sport’
mode setting.
– For automatic transmission vehicles,
gear shift points are optimised for
performance.
