Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
With the QX50 ready to drive, operate the center-console Drive Mode Selector.
- 02
Continue until the desired mode — Standard, Sport, Eco or Personal — is shown in the vehicle information display.
- 03
Choose Standard for normal balanced operation, Sport for sharper engine and transmission response or Eco for efficiency-oriented response.
- 04
For a custom combination, select Personal and use the vehicle settings to choose the available steering and drive-response preferences.
- 05
Confirm the selected mode in the display before continuing.
Important limits
- Sport mode can increase fuel consumption.
- Eco mode changes response but cannot compensate for traffic, speed, tires or driving style.
- Select modes only when it is safe to glance at the driver display; the driver remains responsible for vehicle control.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the mode name does not change, operate the selector again and verify the ignition is in a drive-ready state.
- ✓If Personal does not feel different, review its steering and drive settings because it can be configured similarly to Standard.
- ✓If a warning prevents mode selection, return to Standard when possible and have the system checked if the warning remains.
