controller. Sand mode optimizes brakingfor off-road conditions, allowing quick pathcorrections and minimized stoppingdistance when on deformable surfaces.The engine sound enhances when in sandmode.
The rear differential lock feature isavailable in sand mode. When enabled itis engaged below 30 mph (48 km/h).
Note:Using sand mode on dry, hardsurfaces could produce some vibration,driveline bind up, potential excessive tirewear and vehicle wear.
Note:Do not use on firm, slippery surfaces,such as paved roads covered with snow orice or driving on packed snow. For slippery,firm surfaces use slippery mode.
SLIPPERY - 4X4
For less than ideal roadconditions such as snow or icecovered roads. Use this mode forcrossing terrain where loose or slipperymaterials cover a firm surface. Slipperymode lowers throttle response andoptimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
Four-wheel drive auto is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. Two-wheel drivehigh is not available in slippery mode.
The electronic locking differential isavailable below 25 mph (40 km/h). SeeLocking and Unlocking the ElectronicLimited-Slip Differential (page 227).
Note:Do not use this mode when drivingon dry pavement. This could cause drivelinebind up and damage the system dependingon the four-wheel drive mode selection.See Four-Wheel Drive (page 219).
SLIPPERY - 4X2
For less than ideal roadconditions such as snow or icecovered roads. Use this mode forcrossing terrain where loose or slipperymaterials cover a firm surface. Slipperymode lowers throttle response andoptimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.

Note:Depending on your vehicle options,some mode names can appear different ornot at all.
SPORT - 4X4
For sporty driving with improvedperformance handling andresponse. This mode increasesaccelerator pedal response and providesa sportier steering feel. The powertrainsystem holds onto lower gears longer,helping your vehicle accelerate faster.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you byproviding temporary steering assistanceor steering wheel vibration when it detectsan unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forwardlooking camera mounted on the windshieldto monitor vehicle movement within thetravel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of thetravel lane, the lane keeping system alertsthe driver by vibrating the steering wheel,or aids the driver by providing a smallsteering input to move the vehicle backinto the travel lane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•Alert (If Equipped)
•Aid
•Alert + Aid

You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
BLIND SPOT ASSIST LIMITATIONS
All system limitations present in the basiclane keeping system also apply to blindspot assist.
Blind spot assist does not function underthe following conditions:
•No lane markings are detected.
•One or both rear radar sensors becomeblocked or faulty.
•Attaching bike or cargo racks couldcause false alerts due to obstructionof the sensor.
Blind spot assist may have difficultydetecting hazards under the followingconditions:
•If a vehicle is approaching in anadjacent lane at a speed higher thanyour vehicle.
•Bad weather obstructing the sensors.
BLIND SPOT ASSIST INDICATORS
The lane keeping aid warning lamp or redlane marking in your instrument clusterdisplay indicate blind spot assist activation.In addition, the blind spot informationsystem alert indicator flashes on theexterior mirror on the same side as thedetection. See Blind Spot InformationSystem (page 320).

Blind spot assist provides a blind spotwarning and steering assistance to helpduring lane changes.
When attaching a trailer, ensure you haveproperly set up the trailer coveragesettings. See Blind Spot InformationSystem With Trailer Coverage (page322).
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT ASSISTWITH TRAILER COVERAGE WORK
Activate and deactivate thesystem using the lane keepingsystem button on the steeringwheel.
During lane changes, the design of theblind spot assist feature detects vehiclesin, or approaching, your blind spot andprovides a warning, plus steeringassistance to direct your vehicle back intoyour lane.
If a supported trailer is connected, thefunction is reduced to only detectingvehicles on both sides of your vehicle andtrailer, extending rearward from theexterior mirrors to the end of your trailer.See Blind Spot Information SystemWith Trailer Coverage (page 322).
When active, this system functions with orwithout the use of direction indicators andhazard flashers.
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.

All system limitations present in the basiclane keeping system also apply to blindspot assist.
Blind spot assist does not function underthe following conditions:
•The system does not detect lanemarkings.
•One or both rear radar sensors becomeblocked or faulty.
•You have not configured the attachedtrailer correctly in the trailer tow menusor you attached an unsupported trailer.The system only supports certain trailershapes and dimensions.
Note:Blind spot assist with trailer coveragecould have reduced performance if any ofthe above limitations are present.
Blind spot assist may have difficultydetecting hazards under the followingconditions:
•If a vehicle is approaching in anadjacent lane at a relative speed muchhigher than your vehicle.
•Bad weather conditions are presentthat obstruct the sensors.
•Attaching bike or cargo racks couldcause false alerts due to obstructionof the sensor.
