WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Selectable drive modes change various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. Steering feel
and effort, traction control, stability
control, chassis controls, powertrain
response, transmissions shift points,
four-wheel driveline setting, exhaust noise
level and suspension dampening are
automatically altered to a pre-determined
setting depending upon the drive mode
that is selected.
Note:
Your vehicle has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a drive mode is
unavailable due to a system fault, your
vehicle defaults to normal mode and the
driveline remains in the four-wheel drive
setting that was last selected prior to the
system fault. Note:
Your vehicle reverts to normal mode
each time it is started. If you shut your
vehicle off in a drive mode other than
normal mode, at startup the instrument
cluster screen displays a pop-up asking if
you would like to return to your last used
drive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,
your vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you select no, your vehicle remains in normal
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you do not select yes or no the pop up
message times out, your vehicle remains in
normal mode, and the four-wheel driveline
setting remains in its last used setting.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE Rotate the drive mode control on the
center console to select or change a drive
mode.
Note:
Button icons vary depending on the
vehicle.
