The SPORT mode switch is used when doing
powerful sporty driving on mountain roads
and uphill slope.

the accelerator pedal and quick deceleration
by strong regenerative braking force are pos-
sible.
The SPORT mode can be used when the
SPORT mode switch is pressed while the

To cancel, press the switch again or turn off
the power mode.
