affected vehicle systems are dependent on
vehicle trim level, region, and optional
features.
If the vehicle is in Tour or AWD Mode, it
will stay in that mode through future
ignition 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
To activate each mode, press the MODE
button on the center console.
Tour Mode : Use for normal city and
highway driving to provide a smooth ride.
This setting provides balance between comfort and handling. This is the standard/
default mode. There is no persistent
indicator in the instrument cluster for
this mode.
AWD Mode :
AWD Mode provides 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. For more
information on AWD Mode, see All-Wheel
Drive 0186.
Sport Mode : Use where road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response. Sport Mode improves
vehicle handling and acceleration on dry
pavement. When active, Sport Mode
modifies steering efforts, transmission
shifting, and AWD torque, 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 gear symbol that appears in the
instrument cluster display. See Performance
Shifting Light 0105. Off-Road Mode :
Use this mode for off-road
recreational driving. When active, Off–Road
Mode should be used to improve driving at
moderate speeds, on grass, gravel, dirt,
unpaved roads, or snow-covered roads. The
accelerator pedal is tuned for off-road use.
This mode modifies pedal mapping, AWD,
ESC, and TCS Performance.
Snow/Ice Mode : Snow/Ice Mode improves
vehicle acceleration on snow and ice covered
roads. When active, Snow/Ice Mode will
adjust acceleration to optimize traction on
slippery surfaces. This can compromise the
acceleration on dry asphalt. This feature is
not intended for use when the vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, ice, snow, or gravel.
If the vehicle becomes stuck, see If the
Vehicle Is Stuck 0169.
qMy Mode : Use this mode to
personalize everyday driving. This mode
allows the driver to configure the vehicle
subsystem settings to their driving
preferences. My mode remains active across
on/off cycles.
Through the infotainment display, the
following vehicle subsystems may be
available for customization in this mode:
Acceleration Feel : Relaxed, Tour, Sport

the brake pedal response. Brake pedal feel is
less sensitive at lower settings and more
sensitive at higher settings.
Steering : Choose how responsive you want
the steering to feel. You can set the steering
wheel to provide more feedback, which
requires more steering effort.
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)
begins to limit wheel spin while using cruise
control, the cruise control automatically
disengages. See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control. If a collision alert occurs
when cruise control is activated, cruise
control is disengaged. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System. 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 press and hold to accelerate.
If the cruise control is already active, use to
increase vehicle speed. To increase speed by
1 km/h (1 mph), press the thumbwheel up to
