X-MODE®(if equipped)
X-MODE®is the integrated control system of the
engine, All Wheel Drive, and Vehicle Dynamics Control
(VDC) systems for driving with bad road conditions.
Using X-MODE
®, you can drive more comfortably
even in slippery road conditions,
such as mud or snow, including
uphill and downhill. You can
activate the system when the
vehicle speed is less than
12 mph. If the vehicle speed
reaches 25 mph, the X-MODE
®
system is canceled and can be
reactivated once the once the
vehicle speed is lower.
X-MODE®Standard System
To activate the X-MODE®system, press the X-MODE®switch. While the system is active, the
X-MODE®indicator appears, and the Multi-Function Display shows steering direction, vehicle
angle, and power distribution. To deactivate X-MODE®press the X-MODE®switch again.
In certain situations, such as navigating a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, it may be helpful
to allow more wheel spin by turning off the VDC system. To turn off the VDC system, push
the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch located on the lower left console. Push the
Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch again to reactivate the VDC system.
X-MODE®Dual Mode System (Sport)
To activate the X-MODE®system, press the X-MODE®switch once to select SNOW/DIRT
and again to select D. SNOW/MUD. While the system is active, the X-MODE®indicator
appears, and the Multi-Function Display shows steering direction, vehicle angle, and
power distribution. To deactivate X-MODE
®, press the X-MODE®switch a third time.
• SNOW/DIRT is suitable for driving on slippery road surfaces such as snow or gravel,
where the points of contact between the tires and road surface are visible.
• D.SNOW/MUD provides maximum torque from the engine and the optimal amount of
slip in the driving wheels, enabling the vehicle to free itself more effectively. It is suitable
for driving on a roads where the tires can become buried, such as deep snow, dry sand,
or muddy roads.
