How many driving modes does the Prado have?
1 Answers
Toyota Prado has four driving modes: Eco, Normal, Off-road, and Sport. You can switch between these modes by using the gear lever or pressing the buttons near the center console. Eco Mode (ECO): The ECU controls the timing and logic of gear shifts and limits fuel injection. In simple terms, the vehicle won't accelerate aggressively when you press the throttle, giving a somewhat sluggish feeling. Normal Mode: This mode intelligently balances all performance aspects, making it suitable for drivers who prefer a more conventional driving experience. It's ideal for those who don't want to bother selecting modes or parameters but still desire a decent experience. Comfort is good, and throttle response is quick. Off-road Mode: The vehicle stays in lower gears with higher torque output. It operates in full-time four-wheel drive rather than on-demand four-wheel drive. This mode provides stronger power performance in environments like slopes or sandy terrain. It enhances vehicle stability but slightly sacrifices throttle response and steering feedback. Snow Mode: This mode is designed for icy or snowy roads. It improves traction for straight-line driving and enhances grip for cornering. In Snow Mode, the vehicle starts in second gear to prevent wheel spin. The ABS system becomes more sensitive, activating even in non-emergency situations where it would normally only engage under hard braking.
