ABOUT DRIVE MODE

through a suite of sophisticated electronic

settings.
Changing the drive mode changes the
functionality of the following systems:

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 Stability
Control (page 222).
Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
inputs.
Transmission controls become
optimized with shift cycles tuned to

and tuned to each mode.
The system tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.
