SELECTABLE DRIVE MODES
The Selectable Drive Mode System optimizes steering, handling
and powertrain response.
Changing the drive mode automatically changes the functionality
of the electronically power-assisted steering system, the
electronic stability control and traction control, the electronic
throttle control and the driveline settings.
The system automatically tailors your vehicle configuration for
each mode you select on the column shifter, instrument panel or
the
DRIVE MODE
rotary dial.
Note: Mode changes are not available when the ignition is off or
when the transmission is in reverse (R).
On-Road Modes
Normal: For everyday driving.
Sport: For aggressive on-road driving.
Tow Haul: For improved transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load.
Eco: For efficient and responsible driving.
Off-Road Modes
Snow/Wet (4X2) or Grass/Gravel/Snow (AWD): For firm
surfaces covered with loose or slippery material such as packed
snow, ice, water, grass or a thin layer of gravel or sand.
Sand: For soft, dry sand or deep gravel.
Mud/Rut: For muddy, rutted, soft or uneven terrain.
Note:
Certain drive modes are not available based on gear shifter
position. If a mode is unavailable due to a system fault, the mode
defaults to Normal.
INTELLIGENT ACCESS
*
You can unlock and lock the vehicle without taking the key out of
your pocket or purse when your intelligent access key is within 3
feet (1 meter) of your vehicle. To unlock, touch the unlock sensor
on the back of any door handle for a brief period and then pull
on the door handle, being careful to not touch the lock sensor at
the same time or pull the door handle too quickly. To lock, touch
the door handle lock sensor on any door for approximately one
second, being careful to not touch the unlock sensor on the back
of the door handle at the same time.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:
A. Fully press down the brake pedal.
B. Move the transmission selector to the desired gear.
C. When you are finished driving, come to a complete stop.
D. Move the transmission selector to park (P).
Note:
Always put your vehicle in Stay in Neutral mode when
entering an automatic car wash. Failure to do this could result in
vehicle damage not covered by warranty. For more information,
please see the Transmission chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
*
The system is used to control slip across the differential to
provide added traction during various drive conditions. The
system directs torque, enabling you to drive over terrain and road
conditions that a conventional axle cannot.
The system is active all the time and requires no input from
the driver. Under normal conditions, the Electronic Limited Slip
Differential functions like a standard rear axle.
LOCKING FUNCTION
*
Engaging the locker system electronically locks the differential,
causing both half shafts to turn at the same rate and increasing
traction during off-road events. The locker mode may
automatically disengage based on certain conditions such as
vehicle speed.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
*
The system notifies you to stay in your lane through the steering
system and the display screen when the front camera detects an
unintentional drift out of your lane is likely to occur. The system
automatically detects and tracks the road lane markings using a
camera mounted behind the interior rear view mirror.
The system has optional menu settings available. The system
stores the last known selection for each of these settings. Adjust
the settings to enable one of the three modes:
Alert: Sends vibration pulses to the steering wheel.
Aid: Provides steering torque to help direct the driver to steer the
vehicle back into its lane.
Alert + aid: Provides an assistance steering torque input toward
the lane center. If your vehicle continues drifting out of the lane,
the system provides a steering wheel vibration.
To switch this system on or off, press the button located on the
center console.
