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
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the desired mode.
• AUTO : This four-wheel drive operation
is a continuous operation, is fully au-
tomatic and can be used on and off
road. This mode balances traction to
ensure maneuverability and accelera-
tion improvement compared to a ve-
hicle 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 condi-
tions), 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
sandy bottoms. The transmission is set
to provide maximum traction.
• 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 trac-
tion and allow the highest steering ca-
pacity 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 or Selec Speed Control for steep downhill
control. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control System” in “Safety” located in the
Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
