Driving modes
● “NORMAL” mode

Provides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and
dynamic performance. Suitable for city driving.

● “SPORT” mode

Controls the transmission and engine to provide quick, powerful
acceleration. This mode also changes the steering feel, making it
suitable for when agile driving response is desired, such as when
driving on roads with many curves.

When sport mode is selected, the “SPORT” indicator will illuminate
on the multi-information display.

● “ECO” mode

Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and
improve fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics
and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning system
(heating/cooling).

When Eco mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will illumi-
nate on the multi-information display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatically
switches to air conditioning eco mode (

→P. 295), allowing for driving

that leads to even better fuel economy.
