Integrated Dynamics

System (IDS)

Choose a driving mode for your preference based on road conditions, vehicle speed, and handling.

QUIET: Prioritizes EV operation and quiet sound. Engine speed is limited to 4000 rpm.

SPORT: Balances sport and touring driving performance for enjoyable everyday driving.

SPORT+: Offers heightened dynamic response. EV operation is eliminated.

TRACK: Provides maximum, consistent performance from all dynamic systems. In Sport+ mode, turn and hold the IDS switch to engage this mode. VSA activity is reduced and the VSA indicator lamp illuminates. This mode is for closed-course use only (see "High-Performance Driving").

Launch Control

  2. Depress the brake pedal and change the gear selector to D/M. Keep the pedal depressed.
     
  3. Release the parking brake.
