BAJA Mode (ZR2) : Use this mode for
off-road recreational driving at higher
speeds. This mode is not designed for
on-road usage. Hard packed sand, dirt, and
gravel are examples of surfaces that support
high speed driving. Baja mode can be
activated in all transfer case states.
Baja mode adjusts the steering, pedal map,
Four-Wheel Drive Auto, transmission shift
points, ABS, ESC, and TCS performance in
order to maximize response at higher vehicle
speeds. If enabled, the rear lockers will
remain locked at all speeds.
Baja mode optimizes ABS performance to
decrease stopping distances for deformable
or loose surfaces.
When entering Baja mode, a pop-up appears
on the center infotainment screen to
confirm that Baja mode can modify ESC.
When you select "Switch to Baja," Baja
mode remains active and reduces ESC for
optimal drive mode performance. When you
select "Cancel" or nothing is chosen, the
vehicle remains in Baja mode, but ESC will
not change.
If "Switch to Baja" was not selected, turning
the traction control off will also reduce ESC
for optimal drive mode performance. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control
0 177.
IDynamic Performance Mode (DPM):
If equipped with Baja mode, DPM allows
the transmission to hold the current
gear after a quick release of a heavily
applied accelerator pedal. This provides
greater engine braking and enhanced
vehicle control. DPM recognizes
aggressive accelerator pedal rates, heavy
braking, and high acceleration to select
and hold lower gears longer. When DPM
1
is active, displays in the instrument
cluster next to the driver mode control
indicator icon.
