DS (Drive Sport) mode

Move the selector lever from D (Drive) to the left into the manual shift gate. The transmission position indicator in the meter shows “DS”.
In the DS (Drive Sport) mode, the transmission changes to the “sporty” driving shift operation, creating a more aggressive acceleration feeling than the D (Drive) mode and providing a gear change sensation when the driver accelerates quickly.
When the driver selects the manual shift mode using the selector lever (or the paddle shifter) during the DS (Drive Sport) mode operation, the driver must move the selector lever from DS (Drive Sport) to D (Drive) and back again to re-select the DS (Drive Sport) mode.
