Selec-Trac® - If Equipped; Description - Chrysler 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT Owner's Manual

• You can start out, from a stop, in first or
second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow
starting in second gear. Starting out in sec-
ond gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to over-speed, that shift will not occur.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at
too low of a vehicle speed.
• Holding the (-) paddle depressed will pro-
gressively downshift the transmission to the
lowest gear possible at the current speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable
when Paddle Shift mode is enabled.
• The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
To disengage Paddle Shift mode, press and
hold the (+) shift paddle until "D" or "S" is once
again displayed in the instrument cluster. You
can shift in or out of the Paddle Shift mode at
any time without taking your foot off the accel-
erator pedal.

WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could
skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

Selec-Trac® consists of the following positions:
• Sport – Dry weather, on-road calibration.
Performance based tuning that provides a
rear wheel drive feel but with improved han-
dling and acceleration over a two-wheel drive
vehicle. The customer has the option of
going to partial ESC. The active suspension
system will be in Semi Firm mode, and a
green flag will light up in the instrument
cluster. The transmission will provide a more
aggressive shifting pattern (Refer to "Paddle
Shift Mode" in "Starting And Operating" for
further information). This feature will reset to
AUTO on an ignition cycle.
• 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 certain operat-
ing conditions), the transmission may use
second gear (rather than first gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
