| ECO | This mode supports ecological and economical driving by optimized power train characteristic. |
| TARMAC | This mode offers the pleasure of driving with agile dynamics on dry paved road, such as responsive and powerful acceleration, responsive and linear steering feel, stability and traceability on cornering. |
| GRAVEL | This mode is for driving on rough road surfaces such as flat unpaved roads or wet paved roads and improves straightability on rough road and powerful launching acceleration. A part of ADAS function is limited. |
