Two Power Assist Control Maps

The ECPS has two power assist control maps (sport and comfort). The control maps or "modes" are changed by the Integrated Dynamics System switch. Comfort mode provides a higher assisting force to improve comfort and ease of steering. Sport mode provides a lower assisting force to improve control and handling. The assisting force for each mode is set individually according to the vehicle speed.
