Driving and Operating
pattern will return once the vehicle is on a
low grade or when the accelerator pedal is
pressed.
While in the Electronic Range Select (ERS)
Mode (see
“
manual mode
”
), grade breaking
is deactivated, allowing the driver to select a
range and limiting the highest gear
available.

specifications, see

Terrain Mode :
Use for finer control
during low speed, off-road driving. When
using this mode it will mimic the
characteristics of four-wheel-drive low (4
n
)
without the torque capabilities.
Use when:
.
Traveling on very rough roads at very low
speeds, such as a two-track or heavily
rutted road.
.
Traveling slowly in grassy fields.
.
Pulling a boat out of the water on a
trailer.
.
Using the vehicle for public off-road
recreational driving. See
and
.
When in Terrain Mode, the vehicle will shift
automatically but may hold a lower gear
longer to maximize engine torque. The
steering will change to provide more precise
control. A unique pedal map, transmission
shift pattern, and rpm control are utilized to
give better control at lower speeds and over
rough terrain. When the vehicle comes to a
stop, Vehicle Hold is engaged. TCS will be
optimized for maximum torque transfer
across axles, and Active Braking During Lift
Throttle will be engaged.
Active Braking During Lift Throttle:
.
Automatically applies light braking,
similar to heavy engine braking of
four-wheel-drive low.
.
Applies light braking in D (Drive) until the
vehicle is at idle speeds. In Manual L1 and
Manual L2, moderate braking may stop
the vehicle.
.
Reduces trailer braking.
