The set speed for SSC is selectable by the
driver, and can be adjusted by using the gear
shift lever. Additionally, the SSC set speed is
automatically reduced when climbing a grade
and the level of set speed reduction depends on
the magnitude of grade. The following summa-
rizes the SSC set speeds:
4WD Low Range Set Speeds
• 1st = .6 mph (1 km/h)
• 2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
• 3rd = 4 mph (3 km/h)
• 4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
• 5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)
• 6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
• 7th= 4.3 mph (7 km/h)
• 8th = 5 mph (8 km/h)
• 9th = 5.6 mph (9 km/h)
• REVERSE = .6 mph (1 km/h)
• NEUTRAL = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
• PARK = SSC remains enabled but not active
NOTE:
These SSC default set speeds are depen-
dent on hill grade. That is the steeper the
grade of the hill the vehicle travels on the
lower the values of the set speed will be for
all listed gears, with the minimal value being
.6 mph (1 km/h).
NOTE:
• During SSC the ERS +/- shifter input is
used for SSC target speed selection but
will not affect the gear chosen by the
transmission. During SSC the transmis-
sion will shift appropriately for the driver-
selected set speed and corresponding
driving conditions.
• SSC performance is influenced by the
Terrain Select mode. This difference may
be notable to the driver and may be per-
ceived as a varying level
aggressiveness.
Driver Override:
The driver may override SSC activation with
throttle or brake application at any time.
