WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
This feature connects multiple vehicle
systems through a single interface,
providing you with enhanced vehicle
control and driving dynamics for different
driving scenarios, terrains, weather, or
various road conditions.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
When a drive mode is selected it alters
various electrical and mechanical systems
within the vehicle to a predetermined
configuration. The systems altered and
features available will depend on which
mode is selected.
Note: Off-Road drive modes automatically
disable the Brake Over Accelerator system
to allow for two-footed driving in off-road
environments. See Brake Over Accelerator
(page 218).
Note: The drive mode system reverts to the
normal mode each time you start your
vehicle. At startup, the system displays a
prompt on the instrument cluster display
that gives you the option to return to the last
drive mode that you chose prior to shutting
the vehicle off. If you select yes, the system
returns to the last selected drive mode and
the default four-wheel drive mode
associated with that mode. If you select no
or do not make a selection, the system
remains in normal Mode and the four-wheel
drive mode remains the same as selected
in the prior ignition cycle.
