Mi-drive is a system that switches the
drive modes depending on the driving
conditions, road conditions and vehicle
conditions.
CAUTION
The mode can be switched from normal to
sport or off-road.
Do not use the sport mode when driving
on slippery roads such as wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire
slipping.
Heed the following cautions so that the
system can operate normally.
Sport mode
This mode enhances vehicle
responsiveness when the accelerator pedal
is depressed.
Always use tires of the specified size,
same manufacturer, brand, and
pattern (tread pattern) for the front
and rear wheels.
This provides additional quick
acceleration which may be needed to
safely make maneuvers such as lane
changes, merging onto freeways, or
passing other vehicles.
Do not use tires with significantly
different wear patterns on the same
vehicle.
Drive carefully when using tire chains.
Because the diameter of the tires differs,
the system may not operate normally.
*
Off-road mode
This mode helps prevent drive-wheel
spinning during off-road driving and
improves driving performance.
And this mode also assists in freeing tires
that are stuck.
Use this mode to drive the vehicle on
slippery roads such as muddy, sandy, or
deep-snowy roads.
