Features

. In addition to the normal mode functions, this mode allows you to achieve higher

engine speed, greater powertrain torque and engine braking.

. With the VDC switch in R mode, the R mode start function can be used. (

“R

mode start function” page 5-32)

. When the R mode is selected, the maximum speed is lower than the one in the

normal mode.

Normal (light is off)

. For everyday and performance driving, an appropriate gear position is automatically

selected.

. For long distance driving, this mode helps improve fuel economy by reducing engine

output compared to the normal mode.

. The engine response to accelerator operation changes to be less sensitive to pedal

movement than the normal mode. The engine speed does not change as quickly for
small accelerator pedal position changes.

. This mode controls powertrain torque on snowy roads and slippery surfaces making

starting and driving easier.

. When the SAVE mode is selected, the maximum speed is lower than the one in the

normal mode.
