Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Vehicles with a limited-slip rear
axle can give more traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand, or gravel.
When traction is low, this feature
allows the drive wheel with the
most traction to move the vehicle.
The limited-slip rear axle also gives
the driver enhanced control when
cornering hard or completing a
maneuver, such as a lane change.
Selective Ride Control
The vehicle may have a ride
control system called Selective
Ride Control. The setting can be
changed at any time. Based on
road conditions, steering wheel
angle, and the vehicle speed, the
system automatically adjusts to
provide the best handling while
providing a smooth ride. The Tour
and Sport modes will feel similar
on a smooth road.
To switch from TOUR to SPORT
mode, move the shift lever to the
left while the transmission is in
D (Drive).
TOUR: Use for normal city and
highway driving. This setting
provides a smooth, soft ride.
SPORT: Use where road
conditions or personal preference
demand more control. This setting
provides more “feel,” or response
to road conditions through increased
steering effort and suspension
control. Transmission shift points
and shift firmness are also
enhanced. See Manual Mode on
page 9‑28 under Automatic
Transmission.
If there is a problem detected with
Selective Ride Control, SERVICE
SUSPENSION SYSTEM displays
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Ride Control System
Messages on page 5‑39. Driving
should be adjusted accordingly.
