Rain Mode
• Rain mode offers increased traction control and stability control for low traction
conditions such as wet roads, dry roads during cold temperatures, or when the driver
wants enhanced stability due to lack of familiarity or experience with the vehicle's
response. To enter the "Rain Mode" mode, push the "ESC" switch three times. The
"ESC RAIN" light will illuminate, and the "ESC RAIN" message will display in the
vehicle cluster (left of the odometer).
NOTE:
Some models may not offer "Sport" or "Track" Mode.
The Electronic Stability Control System (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate driver input
for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others.

• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
WARNING!
• Skip Shift is enabled when vehicle speed is greater than 16 MPH
(26 km/h) but less than 18 MPH (29 km/h) and the accelerator is
at 20% or less.
• For optimal fuel economy, under low acceleration conditions, your
vehicle will only allow you to shift from first gear to fourth gear.
