system called Magnetic Selective
Ride Control. The system provides
the following performance benefits:

.

Better Control of Body Ride
Motions

The Selective Ride buttons are
located on the center console.
Press to select the suspension of
your choice. The indicator light will
illuminate the current suspension
setting.

TOUR: Use for normal city and
highway driving. The TOUR button
selects a suspension and Electric
Power Steering (EPS) calibration
that provides a smooth, soft ride.

SPORT: Use where road conditions
or personal preference demand
more control. The SPORT button
selects a suspension and EPS
calibration that provides more “feel,”
or response to the road conditions.

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. Select a new setting whenever
driving conditions change.

The Selective Ride button indicator
lights will not illuminate when any
PTM mode is selected. When this
mode is selected, pressing the
Selective Ride button will change
the PTM mode and the suspension
setting will be determined
automatically. See Competitive
Driving Mode on page 9‑44
.

If a malfunction occurs with the
Selective Ride Control system, the
appropriate messages will be
displayed in the DIC. See Ride
Control System Messages on
