Limited-Slip Differential

Vehicles with a limited-slip
differential can give more traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand, or gravel.
It works like a standard differential
most of the time, but when traction
is low, this feature allows the drive
wheel with the most traction to
move the vehicle.

Selective Ride Control

The vehicle may have a ride control
system called Selective Ride
Control. The system provides the
following performance benefits:

.

Reduced Impact Harshness

.

Improved Road Isolation

.

Improved High-Speed Stability

.

Improved Handling Response

.

Better Control of Body Ride
Motions

To switch from TOUR to SPORT
mode, move the shift lever to the left
while the transmission is in
D (Drive).

TOUR:

Use for normal city and

highway driving. This setting
provides a smooth, soft ride.

SPORT:

Use where road conditions

or personal preference demand
more control. This setting provides
more

feel,

or response to road

conditions through increased
steering effort and suspension
tuning.

The setting can be changed at any
time. Based on road conditions,
steering wheel angle, and vehicle
speed, the system automatically
adjusts to provide the best handling
while providing a smooth ride. The
TOUR and SPORT modes will feel
similar on a smooth road.
