Driver Mode Control

Driver Mode Control (DMC) allows the driver
to adjust the overall driving experience to
better suit preference by adjusting multiple
sub-system simultaneously. Drive Mode
availability and affected vehicle subsystems
are dependent upon vehicle trim level,
region, and optional features.
Tour will be the default mode at every
ignition cycle. A unique and persistent
indicator will be displayed in the instrument
cluster for each mode.
Depending on trim level, Tour, Sport, Snow/
Ice, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and Terrain modes
may be available.
To activate each mode, turn the Mode knob
on the instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
Driving and Operating
To activate Terrain mode, press the Terrain
Mode button located next to the
Mode knob.
Tour : Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth ride. This
setting provides balance between comfort
and handling. This is the standard/default
mode. There is no persistent indicator in the
instrument cluster for this mode.
Sport Mode : Use where road conditions
or personal preference demand a more
controlled response. When you enter this
mode you will immediately feel a down
shift. In this mode, the vehicle also monitors
driving behaviors and automatically enables
Performance Shift Features when spirited
driving is detected. These features maintain
lower transmission gears to increase
available engine braking and improve
acceleration response. The vehicle will exit
these features and return to normal
operation after a short period when no
spirited driving is detected. The steering will
change to provide more precise control.
If the vehicle has Magnetic Ride Control, the
suspension will change to provide better
cornering performance.
