DRIVE MODES
DEEP SNOW/SAND - POLICE
For off-road driving on soft dry
sand or deep snow. This mode
optimizes accelerator pedal
response, traction settings, and stability
controls to help maintain forward
momentum when driving through deep
sand or snow. If your vehicle becomes
stuck in deep conditions, using this mode
may help it become unstuck.
Note: Using deep snow/sand mode on dry,
hard surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire wear.
ECO
This mode decreases
accelerator pedal
responsiveness to soften driver
inputs and encourage efficient driving.
Depending on your vehicle’s options,
adaptive cruise control is slower to return
to the set speed and auto start-stop
engages more often. The system
decreases air conditioning output to
conserve energy when set to auto mode.
Use this mode for fuel efficient driving
which allows for an extended vehicle
range.
NORMAL
This mode adjusts all systems
to their base settings and
balances vehicle performance
for all around drivability. Each time you
switch your vehicle off it defaults to this
mode. Use this mode for everyday driving,
such as city and highway routes or
commuting.
OFF-ROAD (If Equipped)
This mode lowers accelerator
pedal responsiveness and delays
transmission upshifts for
improved vehicle control in low speed
off-road environments. Traction and
stability controls allow the wheels to spin
to maintain vehicle momentum and clear
debris from the tires for improved traction.
Depending on your vehicle’s options, the
system deactivates auto-start-stop. Use
this mode for driving through mud, sand,
and rough, uneven off-road terrains.
Note: This mode is for off-road use only.
Do not use this mode when driving on
pavement or packed snow. Depending on
the four-wheel drive mode selection, this
could cause driveline bind up and damage
the system. See Four-Wheel Drive (page
214).
PURSUIT - POLICE
Automatic Pursuit Mode
Automatic Pursuit mode does
not use a switch. This system is
a temporary driving
enhancement that senses the driver is
demanding high performance from the
vehicle. On all Police Interceptor
applications, the transmission holds lower
gears and the engine holds higher engine
