Limited-Slip Differential

Vehicles with a limited-slip
differential can give more traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel.
It works like a standard differential
most of the time, but when traction
is low, this feature allows the drive
wheel with the most traction to
move the vehicle.

Selective Ride Control

The vehicle may have a ride control
system called Selective Ride
Control. The system provides the
following performance benefits:
Reduced Impact Harshness
Improved Road Isolation
Improved High-Speed Stability
Improved Handling Response
Better Control of Body Ride
Motions
To switch from TOUR to SPORT
mode, move the shift lever to the left
while the transmission is in
D (Drive)
Driving and Operating
TOUR: Use for normal city and
highway driving. This setting
provides a smooth, soft ride.
SPORT: Use where road conditions
or personal preference demand
more control. This setting provides
more feel , or response to road
conditions through increased
steering effort and suspension
tuning.
The setting can be changed at any
time. Based on road conditions,
steering wheel angle and the
vehicle speed, the system
automatically adjusts to provide the
best handling while providing a
smooth ride. The Tour and Sport
modes will feel similar on a
smooth road.
