id0170q0002200

Purpose of Adoption

• A drive selection system has been adopted which achieves driving performance corresponding to the driver's intentions.

• With the sport mode, the following 3 points are changed from the normal mode to minimize the delayed acceleration response when a fast-response situation is required.

1. Lower gear selected

2. Improved shifting speed between gears

3. Engine torque increases corresponding to accelerator opening angle

Service Point

• Not applicable

Common Inquiry

• When switching to “SPORT” mode, the vehicle automatically shifts to a lower gear speed. This function enhances the response to the accelerator operation by assuring manageable drive force in advance.

• The “SPORT” mode controls the output characteristics, shift timing and also shift-speed changes, which enable a greater than normal powerful acceleration response to the accelerator operation. As a result, smooth driving when passing or merging onto highways is achieved.
