Sport Driving Mode Question?

[REDWM]

How do you put the screen on the Intelligent 4WD display ? Is that just a Badlands feature?

What mode does the BS start in when you turn on the engine? Does it remember the previous drive mode selected when the engine was last switched off, or does it default to Normal?

Defaults to normal.

That's not necessarily true. It depends on how the linkage is configured. Some designers used a cam on the throttle actuator to modulate throttle change rate at different pedal positions.

Like just about everything involving engineering, throttle response is compromise. In this case you have to choose between performance and economy. If you want to increase the rate of acceleration you must increase the amount of energy–i.e. power–used.

All the cars i had with throttle cables didn't have what you mentioned above!!

Check your Owner's Manual for the section on "Information Displays."

Loved that story BBBS$Les.

I use Sport mode in the winter when I have a short drive to visit my grandkids and the drive isn't long enough to properly warm up the engine in cold weather. Putting it in Sport mode warms it up quickly.

I usually drive in ECO mode, and when I tromp on the accelerator to merge on the interstate, I have no complaints.

I had a drive-by-cable Karman Ghia in college, and it wasn't a great experience when the cable broke on the freeway. Hope the potentiometer holds up.

I was watching an episode of Matt's off road recovery when the cable snapped on his "Morvair", and he had to rig another cable so that he can operate it manually with his left arm out the window. ?

I don't think there is anyway to change the default startup into Normal without maybe knowing exactly what you're doing with Forscan.
