9-32 Driving and Operating Sport: Use where road conditions or personal preference demand more control. This setting provides more "feel," or response to road conditions through increased steering effort and suspension control. Transmission shift points and shift firmness are also enhanced. The vehicle is normally in the Tour Mode. To switch from Tour Mode to Sport Mode, move the shift lever to the left while the transmission is in D (Drive). Sport Mode is automatically engaged when the shift lever is moved to the left. Moving the shift lever forward or rearward will put the transmission in the M (Manual) Mode. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display SPORT MODE ON when the Sport Mode has been activated. When the shift lever is moved to the right in D (Drive), the system will revert back to Tour Mode. See Manual Mode on page 9-24 under Automatic Transmission. If there is a problem detected with Selective Ride Control, SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM displays on the DIC. See Ride Control System Messages on page 5-35. Driving should be adjusted accordingly. Limited-Slip Rear Axle Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle can give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When traction is low, this feature allows the drive wheel with the most traction to move the vehicle. The limited-slip rear axle also gives the driver enhanced control when cornering hard or completing a maneuver, such as a lane change. Selective Ride Control The vehicle may have a ride control system called Selective Ride Control. 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. Tour: Use for normal city and highway driving. This setting provides a smooth, soft ride.
