Drive Modes
Different drive modes are available to
N
alter the vehicle's powertrain, exhaust
and stability characteristics.
NOTE: ABS (Anti-Lock Braking)
and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist)
are retained in any mode selected.
Tour Mode
(Default setting, normal road use)
– Exhaust sound, engine speed range,
driveability, ESC (Electronic Stability
Control)* and performance are
optimised for refined driving.
– For automatic vehicles, gear shift
points are optimised to offer the
optimum fuel economy.
– 'Tour' layout of information within
driver display screen shown.
*Refer to main owner handbook
Sport Mode
(Only for suitable road conditions)
– Engine idle speed from start-up will
momentarily flare up (increase) and
then return to normal if option is
selected prior to engine starting.
– A reduction in ESC settings allow
for increased power-induced wheel
slippage thresholds and no throttle
reduction on understeer.
– Exhaust sound increased, becoming
progressively louder based on engine
speed and throttle pedal position.
– Throttle pedal response and
maximum continuous engine speed
are increased.
– For automatic transmission vehicles,
lower gears may be automatically
selected for improved engine
response.
– 'Sport' layout of information within
driver display screen shown.
Track Mode (If Equipped)
(For dry condition track use only)
– Engine idle speed from start-up
characteristics carried over from
'Sport' mode.
– Optimised traction and corner exit
characteristics with reduced ESC
intervention.
– For manual transmission vehicles,
engine idle speed raised when en-
gine reaches operating temperature.
– Throttle pedal response and maxi-
