Drive Selection (Some Models)
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle's drive mode. When the sport mode is selected, vehicle's response against accelerator operation is enhanced. This provides additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make manoeuvres such as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or snow-covered roads. It may cause tyre slipping.
