SPORT mode

SPORT mode manages the driving dynamics by automatically adjusting the steering effort, the engine and transmission control logic for enhanced driver performance.

  • When SPORT mode is selected by using the DRIVE MODE button, the SPORT indicator will appear.

  • Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is desired, re-select SPORT mode from the DRIVE MODE button.

  • When SPORT mode is activated:

    • The engine rpm will tend to remain raised over a certain length of time even after releasing the accelerator

    • Upshifts are delayed when accelerating

NOTE

In SPORT mode, fuel efficiency may decrease.
