Sport Mode standard for automatic transmissions. This can be selected via an instrument panel button and aligns gear selection more closely with the intentions of the driver.If the driver momentarily lifts of the throttle, the current gear will be held for more effective engine braking and a quicker acceleration when required.During braking, downshifts are also faster and more closely matched to the rate of vehicle deceleration.
Optional cornering bi-xenon headlights provide improved vision. The steering-linked bulbs can swivel up to 15 degrees when negotiating a bend or corner above 15 kph. In highway driving above 110 kph, the low beam is also automatically raised slightly for improved illumination.
