9-36 Driving and Operating
If Standard mode is selected and
sport driving is detected, several
settings of the Standard mode
change to sport settings. If sport
driving increases, DMC changes to
SPORT mode.
If TOUR mode is selected and
sudden braking or cornering is
necessary, DMC changes the
suspension settings to SPORT
mode to increase vehicle stability.
When the driving characteristic or
the active state of the vehicle
returns to the previous style,
DMC changes the settings to the
preselected driving mode.
Personalized Settings In
SPORT Mode
The driver can select the functions
of the SPORT mode when the
SPORT button is selected. These
settings can be changed in the
menu settings in Vehicle
Personalization.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, the vehicle can
maintain a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
On vehicles with the Traction
Control System (TCS) or Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), the system
may begin to limit wheel spin while
you are using cruise control. If this
happens, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control System (TCS) on
page 9‑31 or Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) on page 9‑33.

WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. So, do not use
the cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.

WARNING (Continued)
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
The cruise control buttons are
located on the steering wheel.
