9-42 Driving and Operating Drive Mode Control Drive Mode Control (DMC) analyzes the driving style and the active state of the vehicle and automatically changes the settings within the selected driving mode. When there is a more noticeable change in driving style or conditions, the driving mode is changed to Sport until the previous driving style returns. 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. 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 StabiliTrak, 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￿37 or StabiliTrak® System on page 9￿39. 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. { 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. (Continued) 1 (On/Off): Press to turn the cruise control system on and off. An indicator light will turn on or off in the instrument panel cluster.
