INTEGRATED DYNAMIC SYSTEM (IDS)
Smooth and Responsive
Go from the everyday to the full sport experience – all at the turn of a dial. The Integrated Dynamics System (IDS), standard on the RDX, delivers four dynamic drive modes to match the mood you’re in – Comfort, Snow, Sport and Sport+.

Comfort Mode
When you want to relax or you’re in the mood for a little pampering select Comfort mode. You’ll get an improved ride that makes it easier to cruise around the city or on the highway. This is the perfect balance between comfort and performance and you just might find that your drive home is one of the most peaceful parts of your day.

Snow Mode
When Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and the winter season arrives Snow mode on the RDX is designed to give you added confidence on roads that might be bit challenging. By controlling the amount of power that goes to each wheel, Snow mode helps maintain control. Now the term snow day has a whole new meaning.

Sport Mode
Now it gets fun. When you want to turn up the excitement, Sport mode adds more excitement with a heightened throttle response and a more pronounced engine note. Don’t let the good looks of the RDX fool you, under the hood is plenty of power. Just because the route home is routine doesn’t mean the driving experience has to be.

Sport+ Mode
Get ready for your heart to race and your pulse to quicken. Sport+ adds much more aggressive shifts, increased steering response, and puts your paddle shifters in full manual mode. This is the ideal setting for performance and perfect for those times when you want to escape.
