Selectable Driving Modes

The MODE switch in the center of the instrument panel allows the driver to change between 4 driving modes. These driving modes alter the throttle response, shift patterns, EPAS feel and stability control intervention thresholds. Toggling the switch causes the FCIM to send messages to the PCM, PSCM, ABS module and IPC message center. The IPC message center displays the current selected mode. The PCM, PSCM and ABS module respond to the message by modifying their operation according to a preprogrammed set of instructions.

• Normal 

  : delivers a balanced combination of comfort, control and handling.

• Snow-Wet 

  : provides increased handling, braking and control during poor weather conditions.

• Sport 

  : provides increased steering, throttle and shift responses.

• Track 

  : provides increased steering, throttle and shift responses as well as modifying the threshold for AdvanceTrac intervention.

One or more of the selectable drive modes is disabled if Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present in the PCM, PSCM or ABS module. If the selectable drive modes are disabled, the IPC message center displays Drive Mode Selection Not Available when the switch is toggled.
