SPORT MODE — WITHOUT
PERFORMANCE CONTROL
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode
feature. This mode is a configuration set up for
typical enthusiast driving. The engine, trans-
mission (when equipped with automatic trans-

improved throttle response and modified shift-
ing for an enhanced driving experience, as well
the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode
may be activated and deactivated by pushing
the Sport button on the instrument panel switch
bank.
NOTE:
If equipped with a manual transmission, the
1 - 4 Skip Shift Feature is disabled in SPORT
Mode.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes or a
“SUPER TRACK PAK” button, refer to “Perfor-
mance Pages — If Equipped” in “Multimedia”
or in the “Drive Mode Supplement” within your
Owner’s information kit for further information.
