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 control, powertrain
response, transmission shift points and
four-wheel driveline settings alter to a
pre-determined setting depending upon
the drive mode that you select.
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.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE To select drive modes, use the console
mounted control.
Note:
Drive mode changes may not be
available when the ignition is off.
Note: Button icon shown may vary from
your vehicle.
Note: Selected drive mode displays in the
instrument cluster display.
DRIVE MODES
ECO (If Equipped) For efficient driving. This mode
helps deliver maximum fuel
efficiency and helps to increase
driving range.
MUD/RUTS
(If Equipped) For off-road driving. This mode
enhances vehicle performance
to traverse muddy, rutted or
uneven terrains. Lower gears hold longer
in mud/ruts mode to maintain momentum
in soft conditions. Mud/ruts mode
optimizes braking for off-road conditions,
allowing quick path corrections and
minimized stopping distance when on
deformable surfaces.
Note: This mode may help get your vehicle
unstuck from deep snow or sand.
Note: Using mud/ruts mode on dry, hard
surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire and vehicle wear.

NORMAL
For everyday driving. This mode
is a perfect balance of
excitement, comfort and
convenience. This is the default mode after
each ignition cycle.
SAND (If Equipped) For off-road driving. Sand mode
is for off-road driving on soft, dry
sand or deep conditions. Lower
gears hold longer in sand mode to maintain
momentum in soft conditions. Sand mode
optimizes braking for off-road conditions,
allowing quick path corrections and
minimized stopping distance when on
deformable surfaces.
Note: Using sand mode on dry, hard
surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, potential excessive tire
wear and vehicle wear.
Note: Do not use on firm, slippery surfaces,
such as paved roads covered with snow or
ice or driving on packed snow. For slippery,
firm surfaces use slippery mode.
SLIPPERY For less than ideal road
conditions such as snow or ice
covered roads. You can use this
mode for crossing terrain where loose, wet
or slippery materials covers a firm surface.
Slippery mode lowers throttle response
and optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces. SPORT
(If Equipped) For sporty driving with improved
performance handling and
response. This mode increases
throttle response and provides a sportier
steering feel. The powertrain system
provides improved gear holding, helping
your vehicle accelerate faster.
TOW/HAUL For improved transmission
operation when towing a trailer
or a heavy load. This mode
moves upshifts to higher engine speeds to
reduce the frequency of transmission
shifting. This mode also provides engine
braking in all forward gears, which slows
your vehicle and assists you in controlling
your vehicle when descending a slope. The
amount of downshift braking provided
varies based on the amount you press the
brake pedal.
The system tunes the steering and
suspension to enhance driving comfort
when towing or carrying heavy loads.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel,
or aids the driver by providing a small
steering input to move the vehicle back
into the travel lane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•
Alert (If Equipped)
• Aid
• Alert + Aid

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If
your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system
provides multiple levels of assistance to
help avoid a collision.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards, the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake Support.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing
visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support
: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking
: This
may activate if the system determines that
a collision is imminent. Note:
If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
you can reduce the alert sensitivity, although
we recommend using the highest sensitivity
setting where possible. Setting a lower
sensitivity leads to fewer and later system
warnings.
Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See Pre-Collision
Assist Limitations
(page 244).
