2023 Jaguar I-Pace Driving Modes
DRIVING MODES OVERVIEW
Different driving modes can be selected to suit the current driving conditions or driving style.
Each driving mode adjusts the performance and handling characteristics of the vehicle.
The following driving modes are available:
- Rain ice snow. See RAIN ICE SNOW MODE.
- Dynamic. See DYNAMIC MODE.
- Comfort. See COMFORT MODE.
- ECO. See ECO MODE.
The comfort driving mode is automatically selected when the vehicle’s electrical system is switched on. An alternative driving mode can be selected if required. See DRIVING MODES OPERATION.
The following features are also available:
- Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR). See ADAPTIVE SURFACE RESPONSE (AdSR).
- Configurable dynamics. See CONFIGURABLE DYNAMICS.
Information on the currently selected driving mode can be viewed via the All Surface Information (ASI) feature. See ALL SURFACE INFORMATION (ASI).
DRIVING MODES OPERATION
The driving mode buttons are located on the center console. Use the buttons to scroll through the different driving modes.
The instrument panel displays the relevant driving mode icon and a temporary message confirming which driving mode is selected.
NOTES
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) operation is automatically adapted to suit the selected driving mode. See DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) OVERVIEW.
RAIN ICE SNOW MODE
- The rain ice snow driving mode helps to enhance the vehicle’s stability in low grip conditions.
- Select the rain ice snow driving mode when driving in adverse weather conditions. For example, in icy or rainy conditions and on surfaces such as grass, gravel, or snow.
- The rain ice snow driving mode helps the vehicle to perform in a gentle and controlled manner, avoiding skidding and improving progress in adverse conditions.
- Winter tires and all-season tires also help to further enhance the vehicle’s stability in adverse weather conditions.
DYNAMIC MODE
Dynamic mode adjusts the vehicle’s control systems to create a more dynamic driving experience.
COMFORT MODE
Select the comfort driving mode when driving on-road and on surfaces which are similar to a hard road surface. For example, dry cobbles and dry wooden planks.
Select the comfort driving mode when the need for any other driving mode has passed.
ECO MODE
The ECO driving mode adjusts various vehicle systems and features in order to reduce energy consumption and increase the driving range.
The ECO driving mode can be used in conjunction with the ECO DATA feature. The ECO DATA feature comprises a number of touchscreen displays designed to encourage a more efficient driving style. See APPS SCREEN.
When selected, the ECO driving mode:
- Switches off the heated or climate seats.
- Switches off the heated steering wheel.
- Sets the auto blower speed to low.
- May reduce the audio volume.
In addition:
- The heated windshield does not automatically switch on when the vehicle is started, if configured to do so. See CLIMATE SETTINGS.
- The performance of the climate system may be affected.
The ECO DATA feature monitors, displays, and records the driver’s manual inputs on the touchscreen. Automatic inputs, e.g., adaptive cruise control acceleration, are not monitored, displayed, or recorded. Items not being monitored or recorded are grayed out.
ADAPTIVE SURFACE RESPONSE (ADSR)
Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR) detects different driving surfaces and automatically adjusts the vehicle’s performance and handling characteristics to improve progress in challenging conditions.
Select AdSR when traveling in adverse weather and driving conditions, for example:
- Wet roads.
- Icy roads.
- Snow laden roads.
- Deep gravel.
- Flat or soft sand.
Winter tires and all-season tires also help to further enhance the vehicle’s stability in adverse weather conditions.
The low traction launch feature can also be used to further enhance low speed maneuvering and pulling away from a standstill in adverse conditions. See LOW TRACTION LAUNCH.
Some vehicles may be fitted with the rain ice snow driving mode instead of AdSR. See RAIN ICE SNOW MODE.
CONFIGURABLE DYNAMICS
- The DYNAMIC-I feature allows the driver to configure a unique dynamic driving mode profile.
- Dynamic and Comfort options are individually available for the drive motor, steering, and suspension. See SET UP.
- A unique dynamic driving mode profile can be selected in the same way as a standard dynamic driving mode.
