Selec-Terrain Switch (Trailhawk)
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. It's used on and off-road and on surfaces with poor traction, such as roads covered with snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on certain operating conditions), the transmission will use SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear) during launches, to minimize wheel slippage, except for in 4WD LOW (Trailhawk models only).
SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with poor traction, such as sandy bottoms. The transmission is set to provide maximum traction. This mode allows more wheel spin and higher shift points to help motor through loose areas.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with poor traction, such as roads covered by mud or wet grass.
ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only available in 4WD LOW. 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.
Note:
ROCK mode is only available on the vehicles equipped with the Trailhawk package.
