■Sequential Mode Operation1Sequential Mode Operation
Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear
change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.
If the sequential mode gear selection indicator blinks
when you try to shift up or down, this means your
vehicle speed is not in its allowable gear range.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indi cator is blinking.
In Manual mode, to pr ioritize the engine
performance enhancement, the transmission may
not allow for shifting up while the engine speed is
low.

Integrated Dynamics System
Constantly controls your vehicle’s engine , transmission, High Voltage battery, EPS,
dampers, brakes, VSA ® and SH-AWD® according to the mode you select.
You can choose between four modes, QUIET mode, SPORT mode, SPORT+ mode
and TRACK mode by turning the switch on the center console.
Current mode is displayed on the Driver Information Interface, and each mode will
appear differently.1 Integrated Dynamics System
You can set the mode to be selected when you set
the power mode to ON.
2 Customized Features P. 242
The mode may not be able to be changed under
some driving conditions. If mode change is necessary,
reduce speed or cornering speed.
This message will also be shown if you try to change
modes when any vehicl e systems have failed.

in all driving situations including start-up.
• The engine speed is limited to 4,000rpm.
• The vehicle speed is limited to

TRACK mode gives maximum, consistent
performance from dynamic systems during
track day lapping sessions. Hybrid battery
charge is maintained for consistent
performance.
• VSA ® OFF indicator is illuminated in TRACK
mode indicating reduced stability control.
This allows more body side slip and wheel
spin before VSA ® begins to operate.
• Integrated Dynamics switch must be turned
