Depending on your vehicle's options, the
system disables auto-start-stop and
optimizes the all-wheel drive system for
enhanced traction.
Use this mode for driving on two-track
trails, loose gravel and mixed uneven
terrain.
Note: The brake over accelerator system is
on in this mode. See Brake Over
Accelerator (page 218).
Note: The electronic locking differential is
available below 25 mph (40 km/h). See
Limited Slip Differential (page 217).

performance and the indicator
illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Note: The system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system for
proper operation. If a mode is unavailable
due to a system fault, the drive mode
system defaults to normal. When the
system defaults to normal, the driveline
settings remain the same as prior to the
system fault.
