MODE SELECTION GUIDE
>Selec-Terrain Switch
-
AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation is a continuous operation, is fully automatic and can be used on and off road. This mode balances traction to ensure maneuverability and acceleration improvement compared to a vehicle with two wheel drive. This mode also reduces fuel consumption, since it allows the disconnect of the drive shaft where conditions permit.
-
SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater stability under conditions of bad weather. For use on and off road on surfaces with poor traction, such as roads covered with snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on certain operating conditions), the transmission may use SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear) during launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
-
SAND/MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with poor traction, such as dry sand and roads covered by mud or wet grass. The transmission is set to provide maximum traction.
-
ROCK: (Trailhawk only): This mode is only available in 4WD LOW range. The device sets the vehicle to maximize traction and allow the highest steering capacity for off-road surfaces. This mode gives you the maximum performance off-road. Use for low speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc.
-
SPORT: This mode is only available in 4WD AUTO, and alters the transmission's automatic shift schedule for sportier driving. Upshift speeds are increased to make full use of available engine power. Suspension settings are optimized and steering assist is modified to provide better handling performance.
Note:
-
ROCK mode is only available on the vehicles equipped with the Off-Road package.
-
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep downhill control "⇨Electronic Brake Control (EBC) System".
