Automatic Engine Grade Braking
A
u
tomatic Engine Grade Braking assists when
driving downhill. It maintains vehicle speed
by automatically implementing a shift pattern
that uses the engine and transmission to slow
the vehicle. The system will automatically
command downshifts to reduce vehicle speed.
The normal shift pattern will return once
the vehicle is on alow grade or when the
accelerator pedal is pressed.
While in the Electronic Range Select mode,
g
r
ade braking is deactivated, allowing the
driver to select a range and limiting the highest
gear available. Grade braking is available for
normal driving and in Tow/Haul mode.
AWD Mode: AWD mode provides drive torque
to all four wheels. Select AWD to improve
traction and control on slippery road surfaces,
such as gravel, sand, wet pavement, snow,
and ice.
