How to Switch Driving Modes in the Wildlander?

The dashboard will display distinctive themes corresponding to different driving modes. The driving mode selector knob is located on the center console. The design of the driving mode selector knob is quite stylish, and it offers excellent tactile feedback.
When driving the Wildlander, switching driving modes is quite convenient. I remember there's a knob or button near the center console or steering wheel labeled 'DRIVE MODE'. After starting the car, just press or turn it, and you can see the mode switch on the dashboard, such as ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT. ECO is suitable for saving fuel in traffic jams, and it can also reduce fuel consumption when the air conditioning is on; NORMAL is the balanced mode for daily use, making commuting very comfortable; SPORT provides more powerful acceleration on highways or when overtaking, with more responsive chassis feedback. You can switch modes smoothly while driving or when stopped, with no delay. Once the mode is changed, the engine sound and throttle response feel different. I mostly use ECO in the city and switch to SPORT for long trips. It's recommended for beginners to familiarize themselves first and avoid frequent switching to maintain focus, ensuring a safer drive. The mode settings may reset upon the next startup, but with practice, it becomes second nature.
As a seasoned Highlander driver, I find switching driving modes as easy as skipping songs. After starting the car, there's an intuitive control area on the center console—just locate the button or dial labeled 'Driving Mode' and press/turn it. The instrument cluster displays real-time changes. There are three main modes: ECO for fuel efficiency (ideal for city driving with frequent traffic lights), NORMAL for smooth daily driving, and SPORT for dynamic performance (perfect for weekend mountain runs). The difference is immediately noticeable, especially when using ACC cruise control—SPORT delivers quicker acceleration. You can switch modes anytime while driving (steering wheel buttons allow quick access too), but avoid unnecessary changes during heavy rain. I often share that mode switching not only adjusts performance but also extends component lifespan—ECO is particularly great for fuel-conscious drivers.
