For off-road driving through sand, loose gravel, mud or mixed off-road terrain.
This mode optimizes accelerator pedal response, traction and stability controls to enhance vehicle performance in off-road environments. If your vehicle becomes stuck in deep conditions, this mode may be preferred.
Four-wheel drive high (4H) is the default four-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive low (4L) is selectable, but two-wheel drive high (2H) and four-wheel drive auto (4A) are not available. Off-road is the default steering and suspension mode. Sport is the default exhaust mode, but all steering, suspension, and exhaust modes are available.
The system tunes the engine, transmission, stability and traction control to off-road mode.
The stabilizer bar can be disconnected at speeds below
50 mph (80 km/h). The camera system also turns on.
Note:
Do not use this mode when driving on pavement or packed snow. This could cause driveline bind up and damage the system depending on the four-wheel drive mode selection. See
Four-Wheel Drive.
