Ride Mode options can be viewed by pressing the Slingshot badge on the right-hand side of the steering wheel or from the display.

NOTICE
For the ride mode to change the throttle must be fully disengaged. If you change the ride mode while the throttle is engaged, a spinning icon will appear indicating that the ride mode has not yet changed. Once the throttle has been disengaged the icon will disappear and the ride mode will change.

Slingshot Mode

Slingshot mode is designed for a sporty, more spirited ride. This mode quickens the throttle response and tightens steering to deliver a more direct feel. Vehicles equipped with AutoDrive will perform shifts quicker and hold gears longer in this mode.

Comfort Mode

Comfort mode is designed for a more casual ride. This mode features smoother throttle response and balanced steering feedback for a more relaxed feel. Vehicles equipped with AutoDrive will perform shifts smoothly and are optimized for efficiency in this mode.
