NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift™ must be placed in Transport Mode before tying
them down (from the body) on a trailer or flatbed truck. If the vehicle cannot be
placed in Transport mode (for example, engine will not run), tie-downs must be
fastened to the axles (not to the body). Failure to follow these instructions may cause
fault codes to be set and/or cause loss of proper tie-down tension.
Two-Wheel Drive Models
DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain will result.
Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive models) is allowed ONLY if the rear wheels
are OFF the ground. This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer.
If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Shift the transmission into PARK.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
5. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer’s
instructions.
6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed for towing, to secure the front wheels
in the straight position.
CAUTION!
Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

PADDLE SHIFT MODE
Paddle Shift Mode is a driver-interactive transmission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control of the vehicle. Paddle Shift Mode allows you
to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and
improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Refer to the “Starting And Operating” section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further details.
Paddle Shift Mode Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operate
automatically, shifting between the five available gears. To engage Paddle Shift
Mode, simply tap the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position,
or tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter
Paddle Shift Mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using
(+) to enter Paddle Shift Mode will retain the current gear.
When Paddle Shift mode is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster. In Paddle Shift Mode, the transmission will shift up or down when
(+/-) is manually selected by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described
below:
• Normally, in Paddle Shift Mode, the transmission will automatically shift up when
maximum engine speed is reached. If, however, Paddle Shift Mode is engaged
while in SPORT mode, the transmission will remain in the selected gear even when
maximum engine speed is reached. The transmission will upshift only when
commanded by the driver.
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle
is accelerated.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting
in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift will not
occur.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.

• Avoid using speed control when Paddle Shift mode is engaged.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when Paddle Shift Mode is engaged.
• To disengage Paddle Shift Mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold
the (+) shift paddle until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You
can shift in or out of the Paddle Shift Mode at any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
SELEC-TRACK™
Selec-Track™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Track™ positions:
•Sport- Dry weather, on-road calibration. Performance based tuning that provides
a rear wheel drive feel but with improved handling and acceleration over a
two-wheel drive vehicle. The active suspension system will be in a semi firm mode,
and a green flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
•Snow- Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
•Auto- Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. This position balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide
improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
•Track- This position offers track road calibration for use on high traction surfaces.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces.
•To w- Use this mode for towing. Vehicle suspension will go to Firm mode and peak
power will be limited in the engine controls.
