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.
Mode Selection Guide
Rotate the Selec-Terrain™ knob to select the desired mode.
• AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation
is a continuous operation, is fully au-
tomatic and can be used on and off
road. This mode balances traction to
ensure maneuverability and accelera-
tion improvement compared to a car
with two wheel drive. This mode also
reduces fuel consumption, since it al-
lows the disconnect of the drive shaft
where conditions permit.
• SNOW: This mode allows you to have
greater stability under conditions of
bad weather. For use on and off road on
surfaces with poor traction, such as
roads covered with snow. When in
SNOW mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmis-
sion may use second gear (rather than
first gear) during launches, to mini-
mize wheel slippage.
• SAND: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as
sandy bottoms. The transmission is set
to provide maximum traction.
• MUD: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as
roads covered by mud or wet grass.
• ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is
only available in 4WD LOW range. The
device sets the vehicle to maximize
traction and allow the highest steering
capacity for off-road surfaces. This mode gives you the maximum performance
off-road. Use for low speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
• Rock mode is only available on the vehicles equipped with the Off-Road package.
• Activate the Hill Descent Control or Selec Speed Control for steep downhill
control. See "Electronic Brake Control System" in this section for further
information.
