this happens, HDC will require time to cool
down. The length of time HDC remains active
depends on road conditions, grade, set speed,

Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control (DMC) allows the driver
to adjust the overall driving experience to
better suit preference by adjusting multiple
subsystems simultaneously. Drive mode
availability and affected vehicle subsystems
are dependent upon vehicle trim level, region,
and optional features.
Normal mode is the default mode every time
the vehicle is started. Aunique and persistent
indicator is displayed in the instrument cluster
for each mode.
Depending on trim level, Normal, Sport, Snow/
Ice, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and Terrain modes
may be available.
To activate each mode, turn the mode knob
on the instrument cluster to the left of the
steering wheel.
To activate Terrain mode, press the Terrain
mo
de button located next to the Mode knob.
Normal Mode: Use this mode for normal city
and highway driving to provide asmooth ride.
This setting provides balance between comfort
and handling. This is the standard/default
mode. There is no persistent indicator in the
instrument cluster for this mode.
5 Sport Mode: Use this mode where road
conditions or personal preference demand
amore controlled response. When in Sport
mode the vehicle automatically down shifts. In
this mode, the vehicle also monitors driving
behaviors and automatically enables
Performance Shift Features when spirited
driving is detected. These features maintain
lower transmission gears to increase available
engine braking and improve acceleration
response. The vehicle resumes normal
operation after a short period when no spirited
driving is detected. The steering changes to
provide precise control.
u Snow/Ice Mode: Use this mode to improve
vehicle acceleration on snow and ice covered
roads. When active, Snow/Ice mode adjusts
acceleration to optimize traction on slippery
surfaces. This can compromise the acceleration
on dry asphalt. This feature is not intended for
