Conditions exist preventing the system from being available.Adaptive Cruise NotAvailable
You have a blocked radar because of poor radar visibility dueto inclement weather or ice, mud, or water in front of the radar.You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this.
Adaptive Cruise NotAvailable SensorBlocked See ManualDue to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get ablockage warning with no actual block. This happens, forexample, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments.A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after yourestart your vehicle.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes thatyou can select for different drivingconditions. Depending on the drive modethat you select, the system adjusts variousvehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Selectable drive modes change variouselectronic and mechanical settings withinyour vehicle to tailor its performance anddriving characteristics to on-road oroff-road driving conditions. Steering feeland effort, traction control, stabilitycontrol, chassis control, powertrainresponse, transmission shift points andfour-wheel driveline settings alter to apre-determined setting depending uponthe drive mode that you select.
Note:Your vehicle has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor all systems forproper operation. If a drive mode isunavailable due to a system fault, yourvehicle defaults to normal mode.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE
To select drive modes, use the consolemounted control.
Note:Drive mode changes may not beavailable when the ignition is off.
Note:Button icon shown may vary fromyour vehicle.
Note:Selected drive mode displays in theinstrument cluster display.
DRIVE MODES
ECO (If Equipped)
For efficient driving. This modehelps deliver maximum fuelefficiency and helps to increasedriving range.
MUD/RUTS (If Equipped)
For off-road driving. This modeenhances vehicle performanceto traverse muddy, rutted oruneven terrains. Lower gears hold longerin mud/ruts mode to maintain momentumin soft conditions. Mud/ruts modeoptimizes braking for off-road conditions,allowing quick path corrections andminimized stopping distance when ondeformable surfaces.
Note:This mode may help get your vehicleunstuck from deep snow or sand.
Note:Using mud/ruts mode on dry, hardsurfaces could produce some vibration,driveline bind up, and potential excessivetire and vehicle wear.

NORMAL
For everyday driving. This modeis a perfect balance ofexcitement, comfort andconvenience. This is the default mode aftereach ignition cycle.
SAND (If Equipped)
For off-road driving. Sand modeis for off-road driving on soft, drysand or deep conditions. Lowergears hold longer in sand mode to maintainmomentum in soft conditions. Sand modeoptimizes braking for off-road conditions,allowing quick path corrections andminimized stopping distance when ondeformable surfaces.
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
For less than ideal roadconditions such as snow or icecovered roads. You can use thismode for crossing terrain where loose, wetor slippery materials covers a firm surface.Slippery mode lowers throttle responseand optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
SPORT (If Equipped)
For sporty driving with improvedperformance handling andresponse. This mode increasesthrottle response and provides a sportiersteering feel. The powertrain systemprovides improved gear holding, helpingyour vehicle accelerate faster.
TOW/HAUL
For improved transmissionoperation when towing a traileror a heavy load. This modemoves upshifts to higher engine speeds toreduce the frequency of transmissionshifting. This mode also provides enginebraking in all forward gears, which slowsyour vehicle and assists you in controllingyour vehicle when descending a slope. Theamount of downshift braking providedvaries based on the amount you press thebrake pedal.
The system tunes the steering to enhancedriving comfort when towing or carryingheavy loads.

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
