Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control allows
the driver to adjust the overall
driving experience by selecting
different modes. If equipped,
the Driver Mode Control has
the following modes: Tour,
Sport, All-Wheel Drive (AWD),
Snow/Ice (in Front-Wheel
Drive vehicles only), and
Off-Road (in AWD vehicles
only). Driver mode availability
and affected vehicle
subsystems are dependent
upon vehicle trim level, region,
and optional features.
Press MODE button on the
center console to make a
mode selection. When
pressed, the mode menu will
display in the instrument
cluster and activate the next
available mode.

Driving and Operating 279
If the vehicle is in Tour or
AWD, it will stay in that mode
through future ON/OFF
cycles. If the vehicle is in any
other mode, it will return to
Tour Mode when the vehicle is
restarted. When a mode is
selected, an indicator will
come on in the instrument
cluster and stay on.
Driver Mode Control Switch
Tour : Tour Mode operates in
FWD to improve fuel economy.
Use this mode during normal
driving operations. Sport :
Sport Mode improves
vehicle handling and
acceleration on dry pavement.
When active, Sport Mode
modifies steering efforts,
transmission shifting, AWD,
ESC, and suspension tuning,
if equipped.
The Performance Algorithm
Liftfoot (PAL) feature is
enabled in Sport Mode. PAL
allows the transmission to
hold the current gear after a
quick release of a heavily
applied accelerator pedal. This
provides greater engine
braking and enhanced vehicle
control.
When PAL is activated, there
may be an additional green
gear symbol which appears in
the instrument cluster display.
See Performance Shifting
Light 0138.
AWD : AWD Mode provides
drive torque to all four wheels.
Select AWD to improve
traction and control on
slippery road surfaces, such as gravel, sand, wet pavement,
snow, and ice. When in AWD
Mode, the AWD Mode
indicator light will be on. For
more information on AWD
Mode, see All-Wheel Drive

273.
Snow/Ice (FWD Vehicles
Only) : Snow/Ice Mode
improves vehicle acceleration
on snow and ice covered
roads.
Off-Road (AWD Vehicles
Only) : Use this mode for
off-road recreational driving.
Off-Road Mode should be
used to improve driving at
moderate speeds, on grass,
gravel, dirt, unpaved roads,
or snow-covered roads. This
mode modifies pedal mapping,
suspension tuning, AWD, ABS,
ESC, and TCS performance.
For more information on
off-road driving, see Off-Road
Driving 0244.

280 Driving and Operating
Cruise Control{
Warning
Cruise control can be
dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a
steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be
dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do
not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
With cruise control, a speed of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more can be maintained
without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control
does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph). If the Traction Control System
(TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
begins to limit wheel spin while
using cruise control, cruise
control automatically
disengages. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control
0276. If a collision
alert occurs when cruise
control is activated, cruise
control is disengaged. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0326. When road
conditions allow cruise control
to be safely used, it can be
turned back on.
Cruise control will disengage if
either TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC
is turned off.
If the brakes are applied,
cruise control disengages.
J: Press to turn the system
on and off. A white indicator
appears in the instrument
cluster when cruise is
turned on.
RES+ : If there is a set speed
in memory, move the
thumbwheel up briefly to
resume that speed or move
the thumbwheel up and hold
to accelerate. If cruise control
is already active, use to
increase vehicle speed. To
increase speed by 1 km/h
(1 mph), press RES+ to the first
detent. To increase speed to

the next 5 km/h (5 mph) mark
on the speedometer, press
RES+ to the second detent.
SET−:Move the thumbwheel
down briefly to set the speed
and activate cruise control.
If cruise control is already
active, use to decrease vehicle
speed. To decrease speed by
1 km/h (1 mph), press SET− to
the first detent. To decrease
speed to the next 5 km/h
(5 mph) mark on the
speedometer, press SET− to
the second detent.
*: Press to disengage cruise
control without erasing the
set speed from memory.
Setting Cruise Control
If
Jis on when not in use,
SET− or RES+ could get
pressed and go into cruise
when not desired. Keep
Joff
when cruise is not being used.
1. Press
J.
2. Get up to the desired speed. 3. Move the thumbwheel
down toward SET− and
release. The desired set
speed briefly appears in
the instrument cluster.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator.
When cruise control has been
set to the desired speed, a
green cruise control indicator
appears on the instrument
cluster and a cruise set speed
message appears on the
Head-Up Display (HUD),
if equipped.
Resuming a Set Speed
If cruise control is set at a
desired speed and then the
brakes are applied or
*is
pressed, cruise control is
disengaged without erasing
the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed
reaches about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES+
briefly. The vehicle returns to
the previous set speed. Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
.Move the thumbwheel up
toward RES+ until the
desired speed is reached.
.To increase vehicle speed in
small increments, briefly
press RES+ to the first
detent. For each press, the
vehicle goes about 1 km/h
(1 mph) faster.
.To increase vehicle speed in
larger increments, briefly
press RES+ to the second
detent. For each press, the
vehicle speed increases to
the next 5 km/h (5 mph) mark
on the speedometer.
The speedometer reading can
be displayed in either English
or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster 0127. The
increment value used depends
on the units displayed.

282 Driving and Operating
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
.Move the thumbwheel down
toward SET−until the
desired lower speed is
reached, then release it.
.To decrease the vehicle
speed in small increments,
briefly press SET− to the
first detent. For each press,
the vehicle goes about
1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
.To decrease the vehicle
speed in larger increments,
briefly press SET− to the
second detent. For each
press, the vehicle speed
decreases to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The cruise control system may
automatically brake to slow
the vehicle. The speedometer reading can
be displayed in either English
or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster
0127. The
increment value used depends
on the units displayed.
Passing Another Vehicle
While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed.
When you take your foot off
the pedal, the vehicle will slow
down to the previous set
cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator
pedal or shortly following the
release to override cruise,
briefly moving the thumbwheel
down toward SET− will result
in cruise set to the current
vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control will
work on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load, and
the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you
might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain
speed. When going downhill,
the cruise control system may
automatically brake to slow
the vehicle. Also, you may have
to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep your speed down.
If the brake pedal is applied,
cruise control disengages.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end
cruise control:
.Step lightly on the brake
pedal.
.Press*.
.Shift the transmission to
N (Neutral).
.PressJ.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory if
Jis
pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.

2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press and release SET–.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
After ACC is set, it may
immediately apply the brakes if
a vehicle ahead is detected
closer than the selected
following gap.
ACC can also be set while the
vehicle is stopped if ACC is on
and the brake pedal is applied.
The ACC indicator displays on
the instrument cluster and
Head-Up Display (HUD),
if equipped. When ACC is
turned on, the indicator will be
lit white. When ACC is
engaged, the indicator will turn
green. Be mindful of speed limits,
surrounding traffic speeds,
and weather conditions when
selecting the set speed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the ACC is set at a desired
speed and then the brakes are
applied, the ACC is
disengaged without erasing
the set speed from memory.
To begin using ACC again,
press RES+ up briefly.
.If the vehicle is moving more
than 5 km/h (3 mph), it
