edge Member 90 Member For: 22y 4m 2d Location: Brisbane Posted 12/03/03 07:34 AM Share Posted 12/03/03 07:34 AM The manual XR (turbo or NA) has 5 modes of operation (auto 3), from full economy to full performance. The computer automatically switches between all of these modes depending on your driving. I have had instances where I am stuck in peak hour but then I see a break, hit to go pedal and it goes but not as well as I think it should.3000k service today and I ask the question. Why can't I have the performance mode at all times, what is the downside. Answer - the car is geared to save petrol and that's about it. Can I have full performance mode all the time. No worries and no charge. Hey presto, a little more performance - free. The other trick - Who would like a digital speedo at no cost? It's called Police mode. It turns your odometer into a digital speedo and works a treat. You just need to ask. The only think I can't work out at the moment having picked the car up today is the trip functions seem to have gone. I only have range available. When I hit the trip function button it holds a static speedo time. More investigation necessary. Now I suppose you will want a photo. I will borrow a camera and post a pic.

Guest PHNTUM Guests Posted 12/03/03 08:08 AM Share Posted 12/03/03 08:08 AM edgeI have heard of all these modes but wana know how to activate it my self. How does the dealer do it.These modes that you talk about are they explianed in the owners manual. Probably in workshop manualDoes the car go a lot harder in police mode or performance mode more than standard. I don't think the KW are increased.

edge Member 90 Member For: 22y 4m 2d Location: Brisbane Posted 12/03/03 08:27 AM Author Share Posted 12/03/03 08:27 AM I understand that the dealer need to do both - And don't know how... And owners manual - no mention that I know of..Maybe the workshop manual..And just to clarify the police mode is only to do with the odometer changing into a digital speedo. On the note of a kw increase - None that I know of but all of the potential is there all of the time rather than going into a less power fuel saving mode such as peak hour traffic...Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant they read a conventional speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Member 90 Member For: 22y 4m 2d Location: Brisbane Posted 13/03/03 11:48 AM Author Share Posted 13/03/03 11:48 AM The electronic speed limiter is disabled. The trip computer ends up with a range and trip distance but all other functions no longer appear, but you do get a way more accurate digital speedo (which btw reads about 3-4k less than the analogue).And on the note of the slush box, not all of us have the auto...but you are correct. Throw it over and you are in the performance mode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the car drive differently through the rev range, or is it just a higher top end with the speed limiter increased or disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
