Driver Mode Control

Driver Mode Control (DMC) allows the driver
to adjust the overall driving experience to
better suit preference by adjusting multiple
subsystems simultaneously. Drive Mode
availability and affected vehicle subsystems
are dependent upon vehicle trim level,
region, and optional features.
Normal Mode is the default mode every
time the vehicle is started. A unique and
persistent indicator is displayed in the
instrument cluster for each mode.
Depending on trim level, Normal, Sport,
Snow/Ice, Off-Road, Tow/Haul, and Terrain
modes may be available.
To activate each mode, turn the Mode knob
on the instrument cluster to the left of the
steering wheel.
