SELEC-TERRAIN
Selec-Terrain 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-Terrain positions:
Snow – Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in Snow mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather than first gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with air suspension, the
level will change to Normal Ride Height (NRH).
Auto – Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. Balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide improved handling and
acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. If equipped with air suspension, the level
will change to NRH.
Sand – Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as sand or wet grass.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management
of throttle and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to
NRH.

Operation
• Pushing the “Up” or “Down” button once will move the suspension one positionhigher or lower from the current position, assuming all conditions are met (i.e.,
engine running and all doors and liftgate closed).
• The 4 indicator lamps will illuminate to show the current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps will show a position which the system is working to
achieve. If multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the “Up” button, the highest
flashing indicator lamp is the position the system is working to achieve.
• Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard position of the suspension and is meant for normal driving. Only the bottom Indicator
lamp on the “Up” button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in this
position.
• Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.1 in (28 mm) – This is the primary position for all off-road driving until OR2 is
needed. A smoother and more comfortable ride will result. Push the
“Up” button once from the NRH position while the vehicle speed is
below 38 mph (61 km/h). When in the OR1 position, if the vehicle
speed remains between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h) for greater than
20 seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle will be
automatically lowered to NRH.
• Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2.2 in (55 mm) – This position is intended for off-roading use only where maximum
ground clearance is required. To enter OR2, pushthe “Up” button
twice from the NRH position or once from the OR1 position while
vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h). While in OR2, if the vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h), the vehicle height will be automatically lowered
to OR1.
• Entry/Exit Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 1.6 in (40 mm) – This position lowers the vehicle for easier passenger entry and exit as
well as lowering the rear of the vehicle for easier loading and
unloading of cargo. To enter Entry/Exit Mode, push the “Down” button
once from (NRH) while the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h).
Once the vehicle speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h), the vehicle height will
begin to lower. If the vehicle speed remains between 15 mph (24 km/h) and
25 mph (40 km/h) for greater than 60 seconds, or the vehicle speed exceeds
25 mph (40 km/h), the Entry/Exit Mode change will be cancelled. To exit Entry/Exit
Mode, push the “Up” button once while in Entry/Exit Mode or drive the vehicle
over 15 mph (24 km/h).

• Aero Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 0.6 in (15 mm) – This positionprovides improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. The vehicle will auto-
matically enter Aero Mode when the vehicle speed remains between 52 mph
(83 km/h) and 56 mph (90 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle
speed exceeds 56 mph (90 km/h). The vehicle will return to NRH from Aero Mode
if the vehicle speed remains between 20 mph (32 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h) for
greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h). The
vehicle will enter Aero Mode, regardless of vehicle speed if the gear selector is in
the “SPORT” position.
• Transport Mode — To assist with flat bed towing, the air suspension system has a feature which will put the vehicle into Entry/Exit height and disable the automatic
load leveling system. Refer to “Programmable Features" (Uconnect Customer
Programmable Features) in “Electronics” for further information. Transport Mode
is selectable within the Suspension features.
NOTE:
This mode is intended to be enabled with engine running.
WARNING!
• You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case N (Neutral) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of
the transmission position. The parking brake should always be applied when
the driver is not in the vehicle.
• The air suspension system uses a high pressure volume of air to operate the
system. To avoid personal injury or damage to the system, see your authorized
dealer for service.
HILL START ASSIST/HILL DESCENT CONTROL/SELEC
SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
• The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehicle from a stopon a hill.
• The Hill Descent Control system maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in 4WD LOW range.
• The Selec Speed Control feature allows the driver to travel at slow speeds on level ground, uphill or downhill without actively controlling either the throttle or brake.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

FUEL ECONOMY (ECO) MODE
The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehicle's overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions. Press the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the
instrument panel to activate or disable ECO mode. An amber light indicates when
ECO mode is disengaged.
When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is
engaged, the vehicle control systems will
change the following:
• The transmission will upshift soonerand downshift later.
• The transmission will launch (from a stop) in second gear.
• The torque converter clutch may en- gage at lower engine speeds and re-
main on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhibited based on temperature and other factors.
NOTE:
ECO mode is only available in AUTO mode.
Active Noise Cancellation
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise Cancellation System, this system is
designed to address the change in exhaust noise whenever the vehicle is operating in
Fuel Economy Mode (ECO) or 4 cylinder mode.
This system relies on four microphones embedded in the headliner to detect the
exhaust drone and prompt an onboard frequency generator to create counteracting
sound waves through the audio system's speakers and sub-woofer. This helps keep
the vehicle quiet at highway speeds.

Launch Mode — If Equipped
This system maximizes acceleration traction for straight line racing. To use Launch
Mode please follow the steps below:
1. Bring vehicle to complete stop on a level track surface with the engine running.
2. Set the steering wheel for straight ahead driving.
3. Fully press the brake pedal.
4. Press and release the “LAUNCH” Button.
5. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor.
NOTE:
If the cluster launch DID message indicates all conditions are correct for launch and
the throttle is pressed to the floor quickly (within approximately 1/2 second) the
system will hold the engine speed to a preset speed (below the engine rev limiter
speed).
6. Release the brake pedal.
Pressing the launch control button when launch control is active will deactivate
launch control.
NOTE:
• Launch Mode brings the engine to optimum RPM and waits for the driver torelease the brake. Launch Mode then uses engine throttle only to achieve
controlled wheelslip for maximum acceleration through 62 mph (100 km/h).
• Launch Mode can be initiated in any of the Select Trac Modes.
• Launch Mode is not available until the 500 mile (805 km) break-in has been achieved.
