STANDARD mode
This is the default mode and provides an
optimum balance of driving agility and
stability.
SLALOM mode
This mode emphasizes enhanced steer-
ing response.
TRACK mode
This mode emphasizes stability for high
speed sporty driving.
The multi-information display shows the distribution of driving force between the
right and left rear wheels. ( → P. 1 3 4 )
∗: If equipped
The TVD system distributes driving fo rce (torque) between the right and left
rear wheels automatically. This system contributes to enhanced steering
response while cornering and increased traction when exiting a corner, pro-
viding an agile driving experience.
