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 maneu-
vers such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, 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 tire slipping.
