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) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
• SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with
poor traction, such as sandy bottoms. 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 ca-
pacity 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 or Selec Speed
Control for steep downhill control. Refer to "Electronic
Brake Control System" in "Safety" located in the
Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
