There are three modes of operation: 5 SPORT/TRACK Mode • Automatic (Auto) Mode - This is the default position when the vehicles ignition is first turned on. This mode will give a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within this mode, the suspension will adapt to the vehicle inputs, including vehicle speed, steering inputs, braking and acceleration.
