STARTING AND OPERATING 97
DYNAMIC SELECTOR — IF EQUIPPED
The Dynamic Selector combines the capabilities
of the vehicle control systems, along with driver
input, to provide the best performance in all
driving conditions.
Dynamic Selector Switch
The Dynamic Selector consists of the following
positions:
Auto Mode – This mode is designed for comfort
and safety in normal driving conditions. In
versions equipped with All-Wheel Drive, this
mode also reduces fuel consumption by
automatically altering the distribution of torque
between the front and rear axle.
All Weather Mode – This mode offers increased
traction control and stability control for low
traction conditions such as driving on a dirt road
or off-road as well as wet and slippery roads.
Sport Mode – This mode is designed to increase
steering feedback to the driver with a slight
increase in effort and changes the transmission
shift schedules for more aggressive shifting.
This driving mode is useful while driving on
twisty roads where more steering precision is
desired in spirited cornering.
WARNING MESSAGES
In the event of a system fault, the system
automatically defaults to “Auto” mode and a
message will appear in the instrument cluster
display.
For further information Ú page 67.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will provide
increased vehicle response and ease of
maneuverability. The power steering system
adapts to different driving conditions.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” OR “POWER
STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE SYSTEM”
message and a steering wheel icon are
displayed on the instrument cluster screen, it
indicates that the vehicle needs to be taken to
the dealer for service. It is likely the vehicle has
lost power steering assistance Ú page 67.
NOTE:
Even if the power steering assistance is no
longer operational, it is still possible to steer
the vehicle. Under these conditions there will
be a substantial increase in steering effort,
especially at low speeds and during parking
maneuvers.
If the condition persists, see an authorized
dealer for service.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist
could pose a safety risk to yourself and
others. Service should be obtained as soon
as possible.
