No Lift Shift
This feature provides you with the ability
to keep the accelerator pedal firmly
pressed down during high engine speed,
wide open throttle accelerations. During
wide open throttle gear shifts, the engine
controller prevents the engine speed from
flaring with the clutch disengaged during
a rapid upshift. This allows reduced
manual transmission upshift time, resulting
in quicker acceleration and smoother no
lift shifts.
DRIVE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Selectable Drive Modes
(If Equipped)
Selectable drive modes deliver a
customized driving experience using a
variety of electronic vehicle systems. The
systems optimize vehicle dynamics and
powertrain response based on your
selected mode. Systems associated with
selectable drive modes are:
• Electronically power assisted steering.
See
Steering (page 201).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
See Stability
Control (page 175).
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
input.
• Adaptive dampers (if equipped).
• Active exhaust adjusts the sound
characteristics of your vehicle (if
equipped).
Using Selectable Drive Modes
Note: Your vehicle may have some of the
drive modes that follow. To change the drive mode setting, press
the mode button on the instrument panel
under the display. The first press
illuminates the selected mode, subsequent
presses change the selected mode.
Note:
Mode changes are not available when
the ignition is off or when the transmission
is in reverse (R). Some modes may be
unavailable when the transmission is in drive
(D) or sport (S).
Modes:
• Normal – Best suited for everyday
driving. If your vehicle has adaptive
dampers, the suspension delivers a
balanced combination of comfort and
handling. Selectable steering defaults
to normal but can be changed using
the steering button.
• Sport – Engages when you shift your
automatic transmission into sport (S).
Sport mode increases throttle
response and helps your vehicle
accelerate faster, but does not change
the vehicle dynamics or stability
system.
• Sport+ – Best suited for spirited driving.
This mode increases throttle response,
and if your vehicle has active exhaust,
it takes on a more powerful tone. If your
vehicle has adaptive dampers, the
suspension becomes stiffer, body
