Driving Your Vehicle

D (Drive)

~1min read

This is the normal driving position.

The transmission automatically selects one of the 6 available gears to achieve optimum fuel economy and performance.

To increase power when passing another vehicle or when going downhill, fully depress the accelerator pedal. The transmission automatically downshifts at a lower speed (or speeds, if necessary).

The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the gear shift lever console, allows the driver to switch from NORMAL mode to SPORT or ECO mode (if equipped).

For more information, refer to "Integrated Drive Mode Control System" later in this chapter.
