  2. 02

    Choose Standard for normal everyday driving.

  3. 03

    Choose Sport when a more responsive engine and transmission feel is appropriate.

  4. 04

    Choose Personal to use the driver's configured steering and powertrain preferences, then return to Standard when special response is no longer needed.

Important limits

  • Sport mode can reduce fuel economy.
  • Eco mode changes response but cannot compensate for aggressive acceleration or road conditions.
  • Drive modes do not increase available tire grip; choose speed and tires for the surface.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If Personal does not feel different, review its steering and driving-mode settings in the lower display.
  • ✓If a selection does not appear, return the selector to its neutral position and operate it again.
  • ✓If a mode warning remains after restarting the vehicle, use Standard and have the system inspected.
