This knob is located on the center
console. Turn it to select the
suspension of your choice. The
knob will return to the center
position when released. The
switch will illuminate the current
suspension setting.

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.

The setting can be changed at any
time. Based on road conditions,
steering wheel angle, and the
vehicle speed, the system
automatically adjusts to provide
the best handling while providing a
smooth ride. The Tour and Sport
modes will feel similar on a smooth
road. Select a new setting whenever
driving conditions change.

The Selective Ride knob will not
display the Tour or Sport setting
when the Performance Traction
Management mode is selected.

When this mode is selected,
turning the Selective Ride knob
will change the Performance
Traction Management mode and
the suspension setting will be
determined automatically. See
Competitive Driving Mode on
page 9‑39
for more information.
