266 STARTING AND OPERATING
• 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 oper-
ating conditions), the transmission may use SECOND gear
(rather than FIRST gear) during launches, to minimize
wheel slippage.
• SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces 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 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 Off-Road package.
• Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep downhill
control. See “Electronic Brake Control System” in this
section for further information.
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.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING" OR "POWER
STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE SYSTEM”
message and a steering wheel icon are displayed on
the instrument cluster display, it indicates that the vehicle
needs to be taken to the dealer for service. It is likely the
vehicle has lost power steering assistance. Refer to “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM HOT - PERFOR-
MANCE MAY BE LIMITED” message and an icon are
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.
