Helps the driver accelerate in an

of the air conditioning system (heat-
ing/cooling).

mode select switch is turned to the left, the
Eco drive mode indicator will come on.

Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration. Also,
gear shift timing is controlled to suit sporty
driving, making this mode is suitable for
when agile driving response is desired,
such as when driving on roads with many
curves.
When not in SPORT S mode, if the driving
mode select switch is turned to the right,
the "SPORT S" indicator will come on.
• SPORT S+ mode
Provides earlier downshift timing than
SPORT S mode in order to maintain a high
engine speed and provides faster gear
changes. This mode also changes the
steering feel, suspension control and
VDIM control, making it suitable for pow-
erful sporty driving.
