You may have a ride control system on your vehicle

-

Speed Stability

D Improved Handling Response

This switch is on the center console. Turn it to select the
suspension characteristic of your choice.

TOUR: Use for normal city and highway driving. This
setting provides a smooth, soft ride.

SPORT: Use where road conditions or personal
preference demand more control. This setting provides
more “feel,” or response to the road conditions.

PERF: Use for performance driving. This setting
provides a tight, firm ride and precise response to
road conditions.

You can select a setting at any time. Based on road
conditions, steering wheel angle and your vehicle speed,
the system automatically adjusts to provide the best ride
and handling. Select a new setting whenever driving
conditions change.

There are three Driver Information Center (DIC)
messages that are displayed when a malfunction occurs
with the SRTD system. Refer to “DIC Warnings and
Messages” in the Index.
