WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.

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, and steering systems

are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will

provide improved throttle response and modified shift-

ing for an enhanced driving experience, as well the

greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be

activated and deactivated 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.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) — IF EQUIPPED

This vehicle is equipped with an active on-demand

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system which makes available

optimum traction for a wide variety of road surface and

driving conditions. The system minimizes wheel slip by

automatically redirecting torque to the front and rear

wheels as necessary.
To maximize fuel economy, your AWD vehicle automati-

cally defaults to rear-wheel drive (RWD) when road and

environmental conditions are such that wheel slip is

unlikely to occur. When specific road and environmental

conditions require increased levels of road traction, the

vehicle automatically shifts into AWD mode. Automatic
