The vehicle may have the
Interactive Drive Control System
(IDCS). IDCS adapts to the driving
style and preference of the driver
within one of three driving modes:
Standard: Use for normal city
and highway driving. This setting
provides precise, comfortable
handling. This is a fully automatic
mode for city and highway driving.
Tour: Use for long-distance
highway driving. This setting
provides a smooth, soft ride. Press
and release the TOUR button and
the light on the button comes on.
This mode provides a comfortable,
smooth ride. Press the button again
and the system returns to the
Standard mode.
Sport: Use where personal
preference or road conditions
demand more control. This setting
provides responsive, controlled
handling. Press and release
the SPORT button. The light
on the button comes on, and the
appropriate message displays on
the DIC. Press the button again.
The system returns to the Standard
mode and the appropriate message
displays on the DIC.
IDCS automatically comes on in the
Standard mode when the vehicle is
