Mud/Ruts (If Equipped)

This mode lowers accelerator pedal responsiveness and delays transmission upshifts for improved vehicle control in muddy terrains. Traction and stability controls allow the wheels to spin to maintain vehicle momentum and clear mud from the tires for improved traction.

Depending on your vehicle’s options, the system inhibits auto start stop and engages the rear electronic locking differential.

Use this mode for driving through mud, deep ruts, and uneven terrain.

Note: This mode may help get your vehicle unstuck from deep snow or sand.

Note: Using mud/ruts mode on dry, hard surfaces could produce some vibration, driveline bind up, and potential excessive tire and vehicle wear.
