SPORT mode. Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is
enabled in the ESC system. This feature will
reset to AUTO upon an ignition cycle.
CUSTOM
This mode allows the driver to create a custom
vehicle configuration that is saved for quick
selection of favorite settings. The system will
return to AUTO mode when the ignition switch is
cycled from RUN to OFF to RUN, if this mode is
selected. While in CUSTOM Mode the Stability,
Transmission, Steering, Suspension, all-wheel
drive set up, and Paddle shifter settings may be

Refer to the “Drive Mode Supplement” for
further information.
ACTIVE DAMPING SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic
controlled damping system. This system
reduces body roll and pitch in many driving
situations including cornering, acceleration and
braking. There are 3 modes:
Street Mode (Available in terrain positions
AUTO, SNOW and CUSTOM.) — Used during
highway speeds where a touring suspension
feel is desired.
Sport Mode (Available in terrain positions
AUTO, SPORT, CUSTOM and TOW.) Provides
a firm suspension for better handling.
Track Mode (Available in terrain positions
AUTO, TRACK and CUSTOM.) Provides a full
firm suspension for an aggressive track expe-
rience.
Refer to the “Drive Mode Supplement” for
further information.
LAUNCH CONTROL
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control
system that is designed to allow the driver to
achieve maximum vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a form of traction
control that manages tire slip while launching
the vehicle. This feature is intended for use
during race events on a closed course where
consistent quarter mile and zero to sixty times
are desired. The system is not intended to
compensate for lack of driver experience or
familiarity with the race track. Use of this
feature in low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.)
conditions may results in excess wheel slip
outside this systems control resulting in an
aborted launch.
Preconditions:
Launch Control should not be used on public
roads. Always check track conditions and the
surrounding area.
Launch Control is not available within the
first 500 miles (805 km) of engine break-in.
