Component		Signal description
BCM		Transmits the drive mode switch signal to chassis control module via CAN communication.
ECM		Receives the drive mode signal from chassis control module via CAN communication.
TCM
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
Combination meter
Power steering control module
ADAS control unit 2

CONTROL DESCRIPTION

SPORT	Adjusts the engine and transmission points for a higher response. The setting of the steering system is adjusted to moderately increase steering wheel effort for a sporty feel.
STANDARD	This is the default mode and is most suitable for driving.
ECO	Assists the driver's eco-driving. The engine and transmission points are adjusted for improved fuel economy, providing such a driving features as smooth starting or constant cruising.

DRIVE MODE CONTROL ITEMS

Items	Drive mode		Control
Items	SPORT	ECO	Control

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

Drive mode select switch		Brake control system status
ECO		Normal
