Selec-Terrain; Description - Jeep CHEROKEE User Manual

NOTE:
It may also be necessary to drive slowly

steering back and forth to complete
engagement and disengagement of the
E-Locker.
When disengaging Rear E-Locker, the indi-

cator lights in the instrument cluster and on
the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash.
When the shift is complete the REAR LOCK
indicator lights will remain off.
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
properly aligned. Several attempts may be
required 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 condi-
tions/interlocks are not met, a message
will flash from the instrument cluster
display with instructions on how to
complete the requested shift.

SELEC-TERRAIN

Description

Selec-Terrain allows the driver to specify the
driving surface to allow the vehicle systems
to provide the best performance possible
across a wide range of conditions
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the
desired mode.
Selec-Terrain Switch
Selec-Terrain offers the following modes:
AUTO — Fully automatic, full time

four-wheel drive operation can be used
both on and off road. Balances traction
with seamless steering feel to provide
improved handling and acceleration.
SNOW — Tuning set for additional stability

in inclement weather. Use when driving on
loose traction surfaces such as snow,
while either on or off road. When in SNOW
mode (depending on certain operating
conditions), the transmission may use
SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slip-
page.
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. The 4WD system
provides maximum capability
wheels. Some binding may be felt on high
traction surfaces. The electronic brake
system will be adjusted to reduce the
automatic braking of slipping wheels and
to allow the engine to operate without
restriction.
