Selec-Terrain; Description - Jeep CHEROKEE 2019 User Manual

• Shifting into or out of Rear E-Locker is
possible with the vehicle completely
stopped; however, difficulty may occur due
to the mating clutch teeth not being prop-
erly aligned. Several attempts may be re-
quired for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method
is for the vehicle to be rolling, below
15 MPH (24 km/h), while including right
and left steering maneuvers to allow for the
clutch teeth to align.
• The Rear E-Locker System must be disen-
gaged prior to taking the vehicle out of 4WD
LOW range. If 4WD LOW shift conditions/
interlocks are not met, a message will flash
from the instrument cluster display with
instructions on how to complete the re-
quested shift.

Selec-Terrain Switch
Selec-Terrain offers the following modes:
• Auto — Fully automatic full time four-wheel
drive operation can be used on and off road.
Balances traction with seamless steering
feel to provide improved handling and ac-
celeration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
• Snow — Tuning set for additional stability
in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
When in SNOW mode (depending on cer-
tain operating conditions), the transmis-
sion may use second gear (rather than first
gear) during launches, to minimize wheel
slippage.
• Sport — This mode alters the transmis-
sion's automatic shift schedule for sportier
driving. Upshift speeds are increased to
make full use of available engine power.
NOTE:
SPORT mode is not available when 4WD LOW
is selected.
• Sand/Mud — Off-road calibration for use on
low traction surfaces such as mud, sand, or
wet grass. Driveline is maximized for trac-
tion. Some binding may be felt on less
forgiving surfaces. The electronic brake
controls are set to limit traction control
management of throttle and wheel spin.
