Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Assess required speed, climate needs and remaining range before changing mode.
- 02
Move and hold the center-console E-Mode selector toward the requested position, then release it.
- 03
Choose Normal when full power and torque response are needed.
- 04
Choose Range for smoother accelerator response aimed at extending range, or Sherpa for maximum efficiency.
- 05
Confirm the dedicated mode message in the instrument cluster.
Important limits
- Sherpa electronically limits top speed to 50 mph (80 km/h) and automatically disables climate control and seat heaters, though they can be reactivated.
- The system can reject a mode change during a drastic electric-motor performance reduction.
- The previously active mode is usually retained after restart.
Quick checks.
- ✓Hold the spring-return selector long enough for the cluster confirmation.
- ✓Wait until a temporary motor-performance limitation clears before retrying.
- ✓Return to Normal and obtain service if an E-Mode fault message persists.
