the “SPORT” button. A “SPORT” message will display
in the instrument cluster. The system will return to

mode, the transmission has a sportier, more aggressive
shift pattern. In Manual mode, the transmission will
hold gear at redline during manual shifting (console
shifter or paddle shifters). A “TRACK” message will
display in the instrument cluster. The system will
return to SPORT mode when the ignition switch is
cycled from RUN to OFF to RUN, if this mode is
selected.
NOTE:
For manual transmission vehicles, the available
driving modes are Sport on or Sport Off. Track is not
available.

when there is a difference in the surface traction under
the rear (driving) wheels.
