SELEC-TRACK™ • Selec-Track™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains. • Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Track™ positions: • Sport - Dry weather, on-road calibration. Performance based tuning that provides a rear wheel drive feel but with improved handling and acceleration over a two-wheel drive vehicle. The active suspension system will be in Semi Firm mode, and a green flag will light up in the instrument cluster. • Snow - Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road on loose traction surfaces such as snow. • Auto - Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off road. This position balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. • Track - This position offers track road calibration for use on high traction surfaces. Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving surfaces. • Tow - Use this mode for towing. Vehicle suspension will go to Firm mode and peak power will be limited in the engine controls. 95
