Control Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Infiniti M56 and 2013 Infiniti M37. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The INFINITI drive mode selector switches a vehicle mode with the flick of a switch (Drive mode select switch) mounted on upper part of the center console and changes the control characteristics of the powertrain and chassis.
The vehicle characteristics are controlled from the STANDARD mode ("•" position of the drive mode select switch) to any mode listed below:
- SPORT: Changing the control characteristics of the engine transmission, 4WAS, and active trace control function enables the use of high engine performance regions to obtain a light and crisp feel of the steering wheel.
- ECO: Fuel economy is enhanced by changing the control characteristics of the engine transmission and using an ECO pedal.
- SNOW: Changing the engine characteristics enables the obtainment of higher driving performance on roads with low coefficient of friction.
