SPORT MODE
• In Sport mode, the engine is more responsive to the throttle pedal, and provides
more power by increasing turbo boost.
• Steering feedback is also improved, and steering effort is slightly higher.
• Sport mode driving is useful while driving on winding roads where more steering
precision is desired.
To activate Sport Mode
• Press the SPORT button, located
above the climate controls.
• Momentarily release the accelerator
pedal.
• Press the accelerator pedal again to
activate.
NOTE:
• Once SPORT mode is activated, a
“SPORT” message will be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
• For maximum aerodynamics and han-
dling, your vehicle has a lowered ride
height. Use caution when entering steep driveways and parking spaces to pre-
vent damage.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
• Be sure the transmission is in first gear, not third, when starting from a standing
position. Damage to the clutch can result from starting in third gear.
• Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, and never try to hold the
vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged. This will cause abnormal
wear on the clutch.
NOTE:
• Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• During cold weather, until the transmission lubricant is warm, you may experience
slightly higher shift efforts. This is normal and not harmful to the transmission.
