OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
SPORT MODE
In Sport mode, the engine is more responsive to the accelerator pedal, and pro-
vides more power by increasing turbo boost.
This mode increases steering feedback to the driver with slight increases in effort
and throttle pedal-to-engine response. Changes to the transmission shift schedules
for more aggressive shifting will occur on automatic transmission versions.
Sport mode driving is useful while driving on winding roads where more steering
precision is desired.
Manual Transmission
1. Press the SPORT button, located
above the climate controls.
2. Momentarily release the accelerator
pedal.
3. Press the accelerator pedal again to
activate.
Automatic Transmission
Press the SPORT button, located above
the climate controls.
NOTE:
• Once SPORT mode is activated, a
"SPORT" message will be displayed in
the boost gauge.
• For maximum aerodynamics and handling, your vehicle has a lowered ride height.
Use caution when entering steep driveways and parking spaces to prevent
damage.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Be sure the transmission is in first gear, not third, when starting from a standing po-
sition. Damage to the clutch can result from starting in third gear.
Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, and never try to hold the ve-
hicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged. This will cause abnormal wear
on the clutch.
NOTE:
• Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• During cold weather, until the transmission lubricant is warm, you may experience
slightly higher shift efforts. This is normal and not harmful to the transmission.
