DRIVE MODE CONTROL –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why did the system default to
normal mode?
• If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, it defaults to normal
mode and the driveline settings remain
the same as prior to the system fault.
Can I switch drive modes while I
am driving?
• In most instances, you can switch drive
modes while you are driving (if you
maintain attention on the road), or
while the vehicle is stationary.
However, you should not switch the
vehicle into a drive mode intended for
off-road or track use while driving on
paved, public roads. For example, while
driving on a paved highway, it would
be acceptable to switch from normal
mode to eco mode, but not to off-road
mode.
How long does it take for the
vehicle to switch modes after I
make a selection?
• After switching modes, the new drive
mode will activate within several
seconds, if all the appropriate
pre-conditions are met.
How should I decide which drive
mode to use?
• Selecting a drive mode usually
depends on the driving experience you
would like to have, and the driving
conditions. For example, if you want to
have a more exciting on-road driving
experience, you could switch into sport
mode. If you find yourself driving on
slick roads, you could switch into
slippery mode.
