OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

SELEC-TERRAIN™

• Selec-Terrain™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along
with driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Terrain™ positions:
• Snow – The Electronic Stability Control is set for additional stability in inclement
weather. Use on and off road on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
• Sand – Off-road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as sand. Driveline
is maximized for traction. 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.
• Auto – Fully automatic full-time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. Balances traction with steering feel to provide improved handling and
acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
• Mud – Off-road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud, or wet
grass. Driveline is maximized for traction. 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.
• Rock – Off-road calibration only available in 4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised
(if equipped with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance. Traction based
tuning with improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces. Use
for low speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc.

QUADRA-LIFT™

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension sys-
tem provides full time load leveling
capability along with the benefit of
being able to adjust vehicle height by
the push of a button. Quadra-Lift™ is
available with both Quadra-Trac II
and Quadra-Drive II™.
• The system requires that the engine be
running for all changes. When lowering
the vehicle all of the doors, including
the liftgate, must be closed.
• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension sys-
tem uses a lifting and lowering pattern
which keeps the headlights from shin-
ing into oncoming traffic. When raising
the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will move up first and then the front. When
lowering the vehicle, the front will move down first and then the rear.
