TERRAIN MANAGEMENT (IF EQUIPPED)
Terrain management adapts the responses of the vehicle’s engine,
transmission, 4WD system, suspension, and stability control systems to
match the demands of the terrain. The system optimizes drivability and
comfort as well as maximizing traction.
Turn the control located on the center console to choose between the
following modes:
1. Grass/Gravel/Snow
2. Sand
3. Mud/Ruts
4. Normal
• Normal - This mode is for on-road conditions. If not already active,
Normal should be selected before driving on surfaces which are similar
to a hard road surface. This mode should be selected once the need
for a special mode has passed. Use Normal mode when towing a
trailer.
Note: Cruise control is available only in Normal and Snow modes.
• Grass/Gravel/Snow - This mode should be used where a firm surface is
covered with loose or slippery material. Surfaces covered in packed
snow, ice, water, grass, gravel, or a thin coating of sand for example.
For deep gravel, it is recommended that the Sand mode is selected. If
the vehicle is unable to gain traction in deep snow, switching traction
control off may help. Traction control should be switched on again as
soon as the difficulty is overcome. See Switching Off AdvanceTrac威
with RSC earlier in this chapter.
Note: The Mud/Ruts and Sand modes are for off-road use only.
Note: Curve Control is unavailable when the Mud/Ruts or Sand modes
are selected.
• Sand - This mode should be used for soft dry sand, or deep gravel
terrain. If the sand to be crossed is damp/wet, and sufficiently deep
enough to cause the wheels to sink into the surface, the Mud/Ruts
mode should be selected.
• Mud/Ruts - This mode should be used for muddy, rutted, soft, or
uneven terrain.
