WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Nissan Juke. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The drive mode switch in the controller of the multi display unit is used to change over the vehicle mode and thus change the control characteristics for the engine, transaxle, steering, and air conditioner.FUNCTION APPLY LIST
MR16DDT M/T CVT SPORTS ENGINE * * CVT * STEERING * * ECO ENGINE * * CVT * AIR CONDITIONER * * - With the NORMAL mode as the base mode, the control of vehicle characteristics is changed over to the following modes.
- SPORT: The control characteristics for the engine, transaxle, and steering system are changed so that a sporty feel is created in the driving behavior.
- ECO: The control characteristics for the engine, transaxle, and automatic air conditioner are changed to help improve the practical fuel economy.
| Control item | Control mode | Control | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPORT | NORMAL | ECO | |||
| ENGINE | Throttle position characteristic | * Half open |
- | - | Improves the engine response to acceleration pedal operation and enhances the torque feel. |
| - | - | * Late opening |
Accelerates gently to assist in ECO driving. | ||
| Speed limiter for throttle position | - | - | * | Controls the throttle position to a smaller level than NORMAL to help improve the practical fuel consumption. | |
| TRANSAXLE | High speed gear shift line | * | - | - | Keeps the engine speed at a high level and improves the acceleration dynamism and response. |
| Step shift | * | - | - | Performs gear shifting like A/T does. | |
| Downshift upon braking | * | - | - | performs downshift upon braking before cornering to prevent a drop in the engine speed. | |
| Cornering ratio hold | * | - | - | Helps the vehicle clear a curve smoothly by restricting shift changes during cornering. | |
| Acceleration off ratio hold | * | - | - | Quick accelerator pedal release avoids upshifting and maintains constant gear ratio. This brings a direct feel of acceleration when the accelerator pedal is depressed again. | |
| Low speed gear shift line | - | - | * | Improves the practical fuel economy by controlling the engine speed to a low level. | |
| STEERING | Assist characteristic | * | - | - | Changes the steering assist characteristic to enhance a stable steering feel. |
| AIR CONDITIONER | Air inlet control | - | - | * | Reduces the engine load by optimizing the air conditioner control to a level that does not adversely affect the interior comfort and thus helps improve the practical fuel economy. |
