STARTING AND OPERATING 101
Selec-Terrain Knob
Selec-Terrain Knob (Trailhawk)
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 maneuverability
and acceleration improvement compared 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. For
use on and off-road on surfaces with poor
traction, such as roads covered with snow.
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.
SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as dry sand. The
transmission is set to provide maximum trac-
tion.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as roads covered by
mud or wet grass.
ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only
available in 4WD LOW range. The device sets
the vehicle to maximize traction and allow
the highest steering capacity for off-road
surfaces. This mode gives you the maximum
performance off-road. Use for low speed
obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
ROCK mode is only available on the vehicles
equipped with the Off-Road package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control Ú page 213.
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 display, 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 68.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist
could pose a safety risk to yourself and oth-
ers. Service should be obtained as soon as
possible.
