Normal Mode

Normal mode balances power, efficiency, and smooth handling. It fine-tunes throttle response and transmission shifts for a comfortable and fuel-efficient ride, perfect for city streets and highways.

Snow Mode

To help minimize wheel slippage, especially when accelerating from a stop, Snow mode sets the automatic transmission to start in second gear and adjusts the throttle for less pedal sensitivity.

Mud Mode

Maintaining momentum is essential in muddy driving conditions. To help you keep moving, Mud mode delays upshifts for increased wheel torque and adjusts VSA to allow more wheel slip.

Sand Mode

Soft-sand driving calls for more aggressive pedal tuning to minimize throttle delay. Sand mode also delays upshifts for increased wheel torque.
