slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip
and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
SPORT MODE — IF EQUIPPED
SPORT ON Button
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode feature. When
activated, the engine and transmission, steering and
suspension (if equipped with air suspension) are all set to
their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will provide improved
throttle response and modified transmission shift points
as well as firmer suspension and steering for an enhanced
driving experience. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pushing the SPORT ON button on the
instrument panel switch bank or by selecting SPORT using
the Selec-Terrain switch (if equipped). When Sport Mode
has been activated an indicator light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION

The driveline is equipped with a Front Axle Disconnect
(FAD) for the one-speed and two-speed drivelines. The FAD
operation is fully automated and controlled by the
Drivetrain Control Module (DTCM). It does not require any
customer input to engage. The FAD is set to connect,
disconnect and provide 4WD function based on certain
set conditions detected by the DTCM, including but not
limited to the following:
STARTING AND OPERATING
 Ambient temperature
 Wipers
 Selec-Terrain Mode selection
 Wheel-slip detection
The FAD is actuated only in 4WD HI and stays connected
for 4WD LOW.

The Quadra-Trac I is a single-speed (4WD HI only) transfer
case, which enables on-demand four-wheel drive with
active torque management. No driver interaction is
required. The Brake Traction Control (BTC) system, which
combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides
resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional
torque transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE:
The Quadra-Trac I system is not appropriate for conditions
where 4WD LOW is recommended
