slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
• The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
• The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission or dual clutch trans-
mission may change.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the ECO mode is

Limitation of the ECO mode oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur
whilst the ECO mode is operating,
the system operation is limited even
though there is no change in the
ECO indicator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
• When using the automatic trans-
mission or dual clutch transmission
Sports mode:
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.

deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds: The system will be limited,

SPORT mode

the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering wheel, engine
and transmission system.
• When the SPORT mode is select-
ed by pressing the DRIVE MODE
button, the SPORT indicator (yel-
low colour) will illuminate.
• Restarting the engine in SPORT
mode resets the DRIVE mode to
COMFORT mode. Thus, when
necessary, reselect the SPORT
mode.

ed:
- The RPM (revolutions per min-
utes) level is maintained over a
certain length of time, even after
releasing the accelerator.
- Up-shifting timing is delayed,
whilst accelerating.
