Disabling 4WD LOW
To disable the 4WD LOW mode, the vehicle
must be stationary and the transmission shifted
into NEUTRAL. Push the 4WD LOW button
once.
SELEC-TERRAIN — IF
EQUIPPED
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the
vehicle control systems, along with driver input,
to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Mode Selection Guide
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the
desired mode.
• 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) dur-
ing launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
• SAND: For off-road driving or use on sur-
faces with poor traction, such as dry sand.
The transmission is set to provide maximum
traction.
• 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 range. The device
sets the vehicle to maximize traction and
allow the highest steering capacity for off-
road surfaces. This mode gives you the maxi-
mum 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 Off-Road package.
• Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. See “Electronic Brake Con-
trol System” in this section for further infor-
mation.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will give you
good vehicle response and increased ease of
maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will
vary its assist to provide light efforts while
parking and good feel while driving. If the elec-
tric steering system experiences a fault that
reduces assist or prevents the vehicle from
providing assist, you will still have the ability to
steer the vehicle manually.
