Purchase a separate upgrades for each completed tune.
What is Drive Mode Specific (DMS) tuning?
DMS allows us to individually calibrate each drive mode, essentially giving you multiple tunes at once. You can change how the vehicle behaves simply by turning the drive‑mode dial.
This results in different power output per drive mode, and provides the ultimate tune in terms of flexibility.
Each drive mode can be assigned its own tuning goal, including:
- Stock+ – factory behavior retained in that mode
- Daily Driver – moderate power increase with refined throttle and smooth, crisp shifts
- Performance – stronger power delivery and firmer, quicker shifts
- Race – maximum output and the most aggressive shift strategy (select modes only)
Note: A tow calibration is automatically placed in Tow mode, and cannot be selected as the goal for any other modes.
Here’s an example of a DMS Tune:
Drive Mode | TUNING GOAL | FUEL TYPE |
NORMAL | Performance | 93 Octane |
ECO / CONSERVE | Stock | 93 Octane |
SPORT / EXCITE | Race | 93 Octane |
SLIPPERY | Stock | 93 Octane |
DEEP SAND SNOW | Daily Driver | 93 Octane |
TRAIL | Stock | 93 Octane |
TOW | TOW | 93 Octane |
Can I select different fuel types for each drive mode?
No. Each DMS tune covers one fuel type. Upgraded tunes are written for the same fuel type as the tune that's being upgraded. E.g., 93 Performance > 93 DMS
What power level does each goal and fuel combination make?
- Power output is the same for DMS tunes as it is for standard tunes of the same goal and fuel type.
- For example:
- 93 Octane Standard Tune | Race Goal = +100 WHP in Sport Mode, +90 WHP in Normal Mode
- 93 Octane DMS Tune | Race Goal (Normal Mode) = +100 WHP in Normal Mode
IMPORTANT: DMS tunes require use of the TDN App. In some cases, a device upgrade may be required. To verify that your tuning device is TDN-compatible, please see our FAQ: What if I already have an HP Tuners Device?
