Competitive Driving Mode
The driver can select this optional handling mode by
pressing the ACTIVE HANDLING button on the
console two times within a five second time period.
COMPETITIVE DRIVING MODE will be displayed in the
DIC. Competitive Driving Mode allows the driver to
have full control of the rear wheels while the Active
Handling System helps maintain directional control of the
vehicle by selective brake application. The instrument
cluster light will not be on. The Traction Control System
will not be operating. Adjust your driving accordingly.
When you press the ACTIVE HANDLING button again, or
turn the ignition to ACC, the Active Handling and Traction
Control Systems will be on. The TRACTION SYSTEM
AND ACTIVE HANDLING-ON message will be displayed
temporarily in the DIC and a chime will be heard.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle

Your limited-slip rear axle can give you additional traction
on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a
standard axle most of the time, but when one of the rear
wheels has no traction and the other does, this feature
will allow the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
