120 STARTING AND OPERATING
SPORT MODE — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle is equipped with a SPORT Mode
feature. The engine, transmission, and steering
systems are all set to their SPORT settings.

response and modified transmission shift
points for an enhanced driving experience, as
well as greater amount of steering feel. This
mode may be activated and deactivated by
pushing the SPORT button on the instrument
panel switch bank.

QUIPPED
This system contains a single-speed (HI range
only) transfer case, which provides convenient
full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD). No driver
interaction is required. The Brake Traction
Control (BTC) System, which combines standard
ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance
to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional
torque transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE:
This system is not appropriate for conditions
where AWD Low is recommended Ú page 168.
ELECTRONICALLY SHIFTED TRANSFER
C
ASE (TWO-POSITION SWITCH ) —
I
F EQUIPPED
This is an electronically shifted transfer case
and it is operated by the AWD control switch,
which is located on the center console.
AWD Control Switch (Two-Position)
This electronically shifted transfer case
provides two mode positions:
All-wheel drive low range (AWD LOW)
N (NEUTRAL)
When additional traction is required, the
transfer case AWD LOW position can be used to
lock the front and rear driveshafts together
forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. This is accomplished by pushing
the AWD LOW switch Ú page 122. The AWD
LOW position is designed for loose, slippery
road surfaces only. Driving in the AWD LOW
position on dry, hard surfaced roads may cause
increased tire wear and damage to the driveline
components.
Transfer Case Position Indicator Messages
The Transfer Case Position Indicator message
(AWD LOW) is located in the instrument cluster
and indicate the current and desired transfer
case selection Ú page 86. When you select a
different transfer case position, the position
indicator lights will do the following:
If All Shift Conditions Are Met:
1. The current position indicator light will turn
off.
2. The selected position indicator light will
flash until the transfer case completes the
shift.
