Mode. The indicator light goes off
and a DIC message displays. See

Sport Mode provides more
responsive acceleration, steering,
and suspension than Tour Mode,
but can reduce efficiency. Use Tour
Mode whenever possible.

Driving and Operating
Press the MODE switch again to
return to Tour Mode and it becomes
active after three seconds.
Each time the vehicle is started, it
will return to Tour Mode.
Mountain Mode
Mountain Mode should be selected
in advance of climbing steep, uphill
grades and when expecting to drive
in very hilly or mountainous terrain.
This mode maintains a reserve
electrical charge of the high voltage
battery to provide better grade
climbing performance. While driving
in Mountain Mode, the vehicle will
have less responsive acceleration.
