SELEC-TERRAIN
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the
vehicle control systems, along with driver input,
to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Mode Selection Guide

desired mode.
Selec-Terrain Switch
Selec-Terrain Switch (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. It's
used on and off-road and on surfaces with
poor traction, such as roads covered with
snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on
certain operating conditions), the transmis-
sion will use SECOND gear (rather than FIRST
gear) during launches, to minimize wheel
slippage, except for in 4WD LOW (Trailhawk
models only).
SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
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.
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 Trailhawk package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control or Selec
Speed Control for steep downhill control.
Refer to “Electronic Brake Control (EBC)
System” in “Safety” for further information.
