Abstract
A vehicle control system contains a behavior annunciation function for generating a behavior mode output. The behavior mode annunciation system has a vehicle operational parameters database and a vehicle behavior mode database. In particular, the vehicle behavior annunciation system generates a behavior mode output by processing data from the vehicle operational parameters database and the vehicle behavior mode database to generate a behavior mode output. The behavior mode output is then communicated to the vehicle operator in a manner describing the general behavior of the vehicle.
