GR Yaris Driving Modes normal, sport and track

[Bat out of Hell]

Should we be changing between these modes , weekly / monthly to keep all those amazing engineered parts free to engage when required.
Just a Friday thought

Bit early to be on the sauce, is it not?

No reason to. It's software-- the torque split is managed by constantly adjusting the pressure on the center clutch pack. None of the modes are full-time lock up, none are full time disengaged.

Thank you for this advice and knowledge. I'm a driver not a mechanic, so tend to drive cars until they break. As this car is so special I'm trying to make sure I keep this cars heart beating for many years to come

Different cars offer different driving modes, each impacting various aspects like throttle response, suspension stiffness, and steering feel. Knowing your car's specific modes and their effects is crucial.

I like the suspension stiffness of sport mode - just perfect

Is there a good write-up or video that explains all the differences between the modes - apart from the change in torque split between front and rear? Like Auto Stop-Start being disabled in some modes.

 

[TheManWithTheStick]

I think you've just explained it. Torque split and start/stop being disabled in Sport mode are the only differences.

 

[Duke]

There is at least more thing

Mode	Torque split F:R	Stop/start deactivated?	Radar cruise available?
Normal	60:40	No	Yes
Sport	30:70	Yes	Yes
Track	50:50	No	No

 

[Dav1d]

Did not know this about the radar cruise not being available in track!

 

[TheManWithTheStick]

Me either. But I never use it so wouldn't have noticed.

Also @Duke, hate to be that guy but the middle column is wrong there. Sorry!

I could swear I've used it (adaptive cruise-control) while track mode... but seems I was on my own after all

I drive mine 95% of the time in track mode & use the adaptive cruise control almost always on motorways/carriageways. Pretty sure you’re correct mate!

Great
How is it with the soft rev limiter? when is it disabled

Duke, have to correct you: Stop-Start is disenabled on Sport (at least in MK1 cars).

Bye for now Fred

 

[Ecsrobin]

And in the manual I think it says both track and sport. However as above only sport.

 

[Mike]

Start / stop is active in Track mode on mine

 

[Ecsrobin]

Start / stop is active in Track mode on mine

Yeah that’s correct. The manual states otherwise (or did on early cars).

That’s why I always went straight to sport one less button to press and no orange light.
