driving conditions by operating the driving
mode switch.
Driving Modes
AUTO
This mode prioritizes fuel economy in typi-
cal driving conditions. The system
switches the driving mode to 4WD if it
detects wheel spin.
SPORT
This mode is optimized for sporty driving.
The system apportions torque to promote
cornering performance.
• In the vehicle with automatic transaxle,
this mode optimizes the throttle/torque
characteristics with small and moderate
throttle openings to keep the engine
speed high for good response.
• In the vehicle with TCSS, this mode opti-
mizes the accelerator/torque character-
istics, the gear change timing and the
gear change speed for the faster accel-
eration and better response.
SNOW
This mode is optimal for snowy, unpaved,
and other slippery surfaces. This mode
enhances traction during acceleration on
slippery surfaces, and enables stable cor-
nering on slippery surfaces.
LOCK
This mode is for extricating the car from
snow, mud, or sand.
