3-Mode Drive System (LX, EX, EX-L)

What’s the Benefit?

This system gives drivers a Normal mode for relaxed street driving, an ECON mode to optimize their fuel efficiency and a Snow mode for enhanced performance when the going gets slippery.

The Feature:

Normal mode is the default setting, and drivers can use the toggle switch by the shift controls to engage ECON or Snow mode, depending upon the job at hand; a display in the instrument panel indicates the mode engaged.

• The 3-mode drive system has an effect on several functions:
  • In Normal mode, all systems are calibrated to provide a pleasing balance of comfort, performance and efficiency.
  • When ECON mode is engaged, both the climate control system and the drive-by-wire throttle system take a more relaxed route to enhance fuel efficiency.
  • In Snow mode, the drive-by-wire throttle response is made smoother to help minimize wheel spin and enhance control.
