Driving

OFF-ROAD MODE

Off road mode changes the calibrations of four systems on the vehicle to
enhance off road performance:
• Electronic locking differential (ELD)- Any speed thresholds for
the ELD are lifted. The ELD will remain locked up to the maximum
vehicle speed when engaged.
• AdvanceTrac – When off-road mode is engaged, the AdvanceTrac
settings are altered for optimized off-road performance.
• Transmission shifting and response- The transmission shift
schedule is altered for improved off road performance. Upshifts are
delayed and occur less frequently. This will provide the best possible
vehicle response and acceleration.
• Engine throttle calibration- The engine throttle calibration is
altered for improved off-road performance.
Note: Operating the vehicle in this mode does not guarantee that the
vehicle will not become stuck in sand, snow or mud, etc. It is the driver's
responsibility to assess off-road situations and determine if the terrain is
passable.
Note: Tow/haul mode will be disabled when off-road mode is active. If
tow/haul mode is active, it will be disabled when off-road mode is active.
Enabling Off-Road Mode
WARNING: Off-road mode is specifically calibrated for off-road
driving conditions and should never be used on pavement.
To enter off-road mode the following conditions must be met:
• The vehicle must be traveling less than 5 mph (8 km/h)
• Your foot must be off of the accelerator pedal
Note: If any of the conditions are not met, the information display
screen will display the appropriate messages to guide the driver through
the proper operating procedures.
