(SSC)
Selec-Speed Control Button
SSC is intended for off-road driving in 4WD LOW
only. SSC maintains vehicle speed by actively
controlling engine torque and brakes.
NOTE:
For vehicles not equipped with Trailer Reverse
Steering Control (TRSC), your SSC button is located
on the Auxiliary Switch Bank below your radio
screen.
SSC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not
activate)
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but
activation conditions are not met, or driver is
actively overriding with brake or throttle
application)
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively
controlling vehicle speed)
Enabling SSC
SSC is enabled by pushing the SCC button when
the following conditions are met:
The driveline is in 4WD LOW.
The vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).
The parking brake is released.
The driver door is closed.
The driver is not applying throttle.
Activating SSC
Once SSC is enabled it will activate automatically
once the following conditions are met:
The driver releases the throttle.
The driver releases the brake.
The transmission is in any selection other than
PARK.
Your vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h).
The set speed for SSC is selectable by the driver,
and can be adjusted by using the paddle shifters or
the gear shift (+/-) on the steering wheel.
Additionally, the SSC set speed may be reduced
when climbing a grade and the level of set speed
reduction depends on the magnitude of grade. The
following summarizes the SSC set speeds:
SSC Target Set Speeds
1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)
6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)
8th = 5 mph (8 km/h)
REVERSE = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
NEUTRAL = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
PARK = SSC remains enabled but not active
NOTE:
During SSC, the (+/-) gear selector input is used
for SSC target speed selection but will not affect
the gear chosen by the transmission. While
actively controlling SSC, the transmission will
shift appropriately for the driver-selected set
speed and corresponding driving conditions.
SSC operation is influenced if one of the drive
modes are active. The differences may be
notable to the driver as a varying level of aggres
-
siveness.
