Hill Start Assist
The Hill Start Assist System helps
prevent the risk of unintended vehicle
movement when driving away from an
incline.
When stopped on an incline, the Hill
Start Assist System will hold the
brakes on for a further two seconds
after releasing the footbrake. The
brakes will automatically release
after two seconds or as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate forward
(whichever is the soonest).
Drive Modes
Different drive modes are available to
alter the vehicle’s powertrain, exhaust
and stability characteristics.
NOTE: ABS (Anti-Lock Braking)
and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist)
are retained in any mode selected,
see page 197 for further details.
NOTE: The position of information
and layout displayed on the driver
display will change dependent on
the mode selected, see page 65.
CAUTION: Refer to the ‘Running-
In’ section on page 207 before
using ‘Sport’ and ‘Track’ modes.
Tour Mode
(Default setting, normal road use)
– Exhaust sound, engine speed range,
driveability, ESC and performance
are optimised for refined driving.
– For automatic vehicles, gear shift
points are optimised to offer the
optimum fuel economy.
– ‘Tour’ layout of information within
driver’s display screen shown, see
page 65.
Sport Mode
(Only for suitable road conditions)
– Engine idle speed from start-up will
momentarily flare up (increase) and
then return to normal if option is
selected prior to engine starting.
– Exhaust sound increased, becoming
progressively louder based on engine
speed and throttle pedal position.
– Throttle pedal response and
maximum continuous engine speed
are increased.
– For automatic transmission vehicles,
lower gears may be automatically
selected for improved engine
response.
– ‘Sport’ layout of information within
driver’s display screen shown, see
page 65.
WARNING: In Sport Mode, there
is also a reduction in ESC settings
allowing for increased power-
induced wheel slippage thresholds
and no throttle reduction on
understeer.
