matically re-engage upon engine restart.

Sport Mode

Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode fea-
ture. This mode is a configuration set up for
enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission, and
steering systems are all set to their SPORT set-
tings. Sport Mode will provide improved throttle
response and modified shifting for an enhanced
driving experience, as well the greatest amount of
steering feel. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pushing the Sport button on the
instrument panel switch bank.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

The electric power steering system will give you
good vehicle response and increased ease of ma-
neuverability in tight spaces. The system will vary
its assistance to provide light efforts while parking
and good feel while driving. If the electric steering
system experiences a fault that prevents it from
providing assistance, you will still have the ability
to steer the vehicle manually.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be
selected through the Uconnect System.
