Page 38 of 50

03/25/2024 02:56 PM tlawrenc

Normal mode
• This mode optimizes fuel efficiency.
Sport mode
• This mode maximizes responsiveness.
It increases vehicle response when the accelerator
pedal is depressed and accelerates powerfully.
Off-road mode
• This mode maximizes running performance. It
prevents the drive wheels from spinning during offroad driving and improves the running performance.
Towing mode*
• This mode optimizes power performance. It reduces
the loss of driving performance due to
increased weight when towing a trailer and improves
the vehicle stability.
EV mode (PHEV)
• This mode enables pure electric driving.
* if equipped
Hill Descent Control
The hill descent control is a system that maintains a constant
vehicle speed when the vehicle descends a steep slope, offroad or on a snowy road. As the low speed can be
maintained without operating the accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal, the driver can concentrate on the steering
wheel operation.

See Owner's Manual -> Driving -> Hill Descent Control

AUTOHOLD
AUTOHOLD is a function to keep the vehicle stopped by
applying the brakes even if you take your foot off the
brake pedal while the vehicle is stopped. This function
reduces the burden on the driver while the vehicle is
stopped, such as at traffic lights.
See Owner's Manual -> Driving -> AUTOHOLD

Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling backward or
forward, such as when releasing the brake pedal while on a
slope.

See Owner's Manual -> Driving -> Hill Launch Assist (HLA)

Kinematic Posture Control (KPC)

See MGSS -> KINEMATIC POSTURE CONTROL (KPC)

• Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) is a function that
stabilizes the vehicle's turning posture by combining
the rear suspension structure, which has the
characteristic of pulling the vehicle down during
braking, with the brake control.
• Braking control is performed to stabilize the turning
posture in situations where high G is generated on the
vehicle, such as during turning at high speed, tight
cornering, or driving on rough road surfaces.
