Starting and operating/Xmode
. Hill descent control function:
Using the hill descent control function, you
can keep the vehicle at a consistent speed
driving downhill. If the vehicle speed is
likely to increase, the brake control system
will be activated to adjust the vehicle
speed.
. Driving ability control:
This mode increases the hi ll-climbing
ability and driving ability as well as
enabling smooth application of torque for
easier control of the steering wheel.
& To activate/deactivate the X-
mode
X-mode switch
X-mode indicator light
To activate:
Press the X-mode switch. While the X-
mode is activated, the X-mode indicator
light illuminates.
To deactivate:
Press the X-mode switch again. The X-
mode indicator light will turn off when the
X-mode is deactivated.
NOTE
. Even if you try to activate the X-
mode by pressing the X-mode switch
when the vehicle speed is 12 mph (20
km/h) or more, the X-mode will not be
activated. At this time, a buzzer will
sound twice.
. If the vehicle speed reaches 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more while the X-mode is
activated, a buzzer will sound once and
the X-mode will be deactivated.
NOTE
For models with SI-DRIVE:
. The SI-DRIVE mode will change to
the Intelligent (I) mode when the X-
mode is deactivated.
. The SI-DRIVE mode cannot be chan-
ged while the X-mode is activated. At
this time, a buzzer will sound twice.
. While the engine is running, if the
CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunc-
tion indicator light illuminates, the X-
mode is deactivated and the SI-DRIVE
mode changes to the Sport (S) mode. In
this case, it is not possible to change to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode, Intelligent
(I) mode or X-mode.
. If there is a possibility that the
engine could overheat because of a
temperature increase of the engine
coolant, it is not possible to change to
the X-mode. While the vehicle is in the
X-mode, it changes to the Sport (S)
mode when the engine coolant tem-
perature increases.
. It is not possible to activate the X-
mode when the engine is not running,
because the hill descent control func-
tion is not activated.
