Starting and Driving
DRIVING MODES
Your vehicle has three selectable drive
modes. The currently selected driving mode
is displayed on the instrument cluster.
With the vehicle in Drive mode, the desired
driving mode is selected using the selection
paddles on the steering column.
Note: The vehicle will default to STEALTH
each time the vehicle is powered off.
STEALTH and SPORT modes
In STEALTH mode, the vehicle is powered
exclusively from the high voltage battery
until the charge level of the battery falls to
approximately 15% of it's fully charged
capacity. When the charge level reaches
this threshold, the engine will automatically
start to run the generator.
In SPORT mode, the vehicle is powered by
both the generator and high voltage battery.
This provides more power to the traction
drive motors and improves vehicle
performance.
To change between STEALTH and SPORT,
briefly pull the left-hand paddle towards you
and release. Pull and release the paddle
again to select the alternative mode.

Starting and Driving
HILL mode
WARNING: It is recommended that
you do not use HILL mode on surfaces
covered in snow or ice as this could
adversely affect vehicle handling.
HILL mode simulates the engine braking
you would experience on a traditional
vehicle when descending a hill and
increases the amount of energy generated
through regenerative braking.
HILL mode has two operating levels which
simulate different levels of engine braking.
With a little bit of practice, you will come to
understand which operating mode is most
suitable for the terrain you are driving.
To select HILL mode, briefly pull the right-
hand paddle towards you and release. The
instrument cluster will display the word
HILL and the mode indicator in the center
of the speedometer will display 1.
To increase the level of engine braking, pull
and release the paddle again. The mode
indicator will display 2.
To deselect HILL mode and return to the
previously selected drive mode, pull and
release the paddle again.
Note: If the vehicle is operating in HILL
mode 1, either operate the paddle twice in
quick succession or pull and hold the
paddle to deselect HILL mode.
