Limited-Slip Rear Axle

Vehicleswith a limited-slip rear axle
can give more traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When
traction is low,this feature allows
the drive wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle. The
limited-slip rear axle also gives the
driver enhanced control when
cornering hard or completing a
maneuver,such as a lane change.

Selective Ride Control

The vehicle may have a ride
control system called Selective Ride
Control. 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 Tourand Sport
modes will feel similar on a
smooth road.

where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. So, do not use

on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
With cruise control, a speed of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can
be maintained without keeping your
foot on the accelerator.Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25mph).
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control shuts off.
