SPORT MODE — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE
CONTROL

Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode feature. This

mode is a configuration set up for typical enthusiast

driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with

automatic transmission), and steering systems are all set

to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will provide im-

proved throttle response and modified shifting for an

enhanced driving experience, as well the greatest amount

of steering feel. This mode may be activated and deacti-

vated by pressing the Sport button on the instrument

panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes, Refer to “Per-

formance Control — If Equipped” within “Uconnect

Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”

chapter for further information.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-

pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull

erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs

when there is a difference in the surface traction under

the rear (driving) wheels.

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous.
Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear
wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and
possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and
carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction
(ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
