DRIVE SELECTION

SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for increased  
acceleration response. It will also hold a lower gear/
delay upshifting when it detects you are braking or 
cornering because it anticipates that you will want 
to accelerate out of the turn more quickly.

Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT mode 
and the SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument 
cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.

NOTE:

If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT 

mode is switched off. SPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
•   When the ignition is switched OFF, SPORT mode is also switched off.
•   Fuel consumption increases slightly when using SPORT mode.

ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL

AAS will automatically adjust how and when the  
transmission shifts gears based on road conditions  
and your driving style. The transmission may stay  
in a lower gear longer than usual when going up  
or down hills or driving around corners. This  
feature gives you better control and a more  
connected driving experience.
