124 STARTING AND OPERATING
SELEC-TERRAIN
DESCRIPTION
Selec-Terrain allows the driver to specify the
driving surface to allow the vehicle systems to
provide the best performance possible across a
wide range of conditions.
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the
desired mode.
Selec-Terrain Switch
Selec-Terrain offers the following modes:
AUTO — Fully automatic, full time four-wheel
drive operation can be used on and off road.
Balances traction with a seamless steering
feel to provide improved handling and accel-
eration.
SNOW — Tuning set for additional stability in
inclement weather. Use when driving on
loose traction surfaces such as snow, while
either on or off-road. When in SNOW mode
(depending on certain operating conditions),
the transmission may use SECOND gear
(rather than FIRST gear) during launches, to
minimize wheel slippage.
SPORT — This mode alters the transmission's
automatic shift schedule for sportier driving.
Upshift speeds are increased to make full
use of available engine power.
NOTE:
SPORT mode is not available when 4WD LOW is
selected.
SAND/MUD — Off-road calibration for use on
low traction surfaces such as mud, sand, or
wet grass. The 4WD system provides
maximum capability to all wheels. Some
binding may be felt on high traction surfaces.
The electronic brake system will be adjusted
to reduce the automatic braking of slipping
wheels and to allow the engine to operate
without restriction.
ROCK — Off-road calibration is only available
in 4WD LOW range. Rock mode provides the
most aggressive four-wheel drive perfor-
mance for extreme off-road terrain. Use for
low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc. The driver may notice addi-
tional tire scrubbing and steering wheel feed-
back while driving in rock mode on higher
traction off-road surfaces. For use only in
off-road driving situations.
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 Ú page 263.
