Mode Description
u
Weather :
Weather Mode is used for
slippery surfaces to help control wheel
speed. This can compromise the acceleration
on dry asphalt.
This feature is not intended for use when
the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice, snow,
or gravel. If the vehicle becomes stuck, see
. See
“
Driver Mode
Attributes,
”
later in this section.
s
Tour :
Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth, soft ride. This
setting provides a balanced setting between
comfort and handling. This is the standard
mode. See
“
Driver Mode Attributes,
”
later in
this section.
r
Sport :
Use when road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response. When this mode is
selected, a down shift will be immediately
felt. In this mode the vehicle also monitors
driving behaviours and automatically
enables Performance Shift Features when
spirited driving is detected. These features
maintain lower transmission gears to
increase available engine braking and
improve acceleration response. The vehicle
will exit this feature and return to normal
operation after a short time when spirited
driving is no longer detected. The steering
will change to provide more precise control.
If the vehicle has Magnetic Ride Control, the
suspension will change to provide better
cornering performance. When in Sport
Mode, the displays will change to sport
theme.
Competitive Mode can be accessed through
this mode. See
t
Track :
Track Mode is used for closed
race tracks. Use when maximum vehicle
handling is desired. When in Track Mode,
the dual clutch transmission and steering
will adjust to track settings. The accelerator
pedal is adjusted to give maximum control
during the highest level of spirited driving.
This mode also modifies real time damping,
exhaust valve tuning, engine sound, brake
pedal feel, Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
performance and Traction Control System
(TCS) performance. When in Track Mode the
displays will change to track theme.
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
can be accessed through this mode. See
