Active Damping System

This vehicle is equipped with an electronic
controlled damping system. This system re-
duces body roll and pitch in many driving situ-
ations including cornering, acceleration and
braking. There are 3 modes:
• Touring Mode (Available in terrain positions
AUTO and SNOW) — Used during highway
speeds where a touring suspension feel is
desired.
• Firm Mode (Available in terrain positions
SPORT and TOW) — Provides a firm sus-
pension for better handling.
• Full Firm (Available in TRACK mode) —
Provides a full firm suspension for an aggres-
sive track experience.
