Sand Mode  For off-road driving on soft, dry sand or deep snow. This mode may help get your vehicle unstuck from deep snow or sand.
Four-wheel drive high (4H) is the default four-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive low (4L) is selectable in Sand mode.
The front electronic locking differential is available below 25 mph (40 km/h) when in four-wheel drive low (4L). The rear electronic locking differential is engaged when in Sand mode and is available at any speed in all selectable four-wheel drive modes.
The stabilizer bar disconnect is available in four-wheel drive high (4H) or four-wheel drive low (4L).
Note:   The front camera system switches on when you are in Sand mode and your speed is less than 15 mph (24 km/h). If you exceed 15 mph (24 km/h), the camera shuts off until your vehicle speed is below 12 mph (20 km/h).
Note:   This mode is for off-road use only. When using Sand mode on dry/hard pavement, your vehicle could experience vibration, driveline bind up, damage and potential excessive tire and vehicle wear.
Note:   Sand mode is not intended for use on firm, slippery surfaces, such as paved roads covered with snow or ice. For slippery, firm surfaces use Slippery mode.
