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 automatic
and can be used on and off road. This mode
balances traction to ensure maneuverabil-
ity and acceleration improvement com-
pared to a vehicle with two wheel drive. This
mode also reduces fuel consumption, since
it allows the disconnect of the drive shaft
where conditions permit.
SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater
stability under conditions of bad weather.
It's used on and off road and on surfaces
with poor traction, such as roads covered
with snow. When in SNOW mode (depend-
ing on certain operating conditions), the
transmission will use second gear (rather
than first gear) during launches, to mini-
mize wheel slippage, except for in 4–Low
(Trailhawk models only).
SAND: For off-road driving or use on sur-
faces with poor traction, such as sandy
bottoms. The transmission is set to provide
maximum traction. This mode allows more
wheel spin and higher shift points to help
motor through loose areas.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as roads covered by
mud or wet grass.
