Provides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and
dynamic performance. Suitable for city driving.
● “SPORT” mode
Controls the transmission and eng ine to provide quick, powerful
acceleration. This mode also chan ges the steering feel, making it
suitable for when agile driving response is desired, such as wh en
driving on roads with many curves.
When sport mode is selected, the “SPORT” indicator will illumin ate
on the multi-information display.
● “ECO” mode

nate on the multi-information display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatically

Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to p revent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ic e or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
