WHAT IS TRAIL CONTROL
WARNING:
The system does not
control speed in low traction conditions
or extremely steep slopes. The system
is designed to be an aid and does not
relieve you of your responsibility to drive
with due care and attention. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury.
WARNING:
The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake and shift the transmission
into park (P) for automatic transmission
or first gear for manual transmission.
Trail control lets you focus on steering
during low-speed and off-road use by
controlling your vehicle's acceleration and
braking.
You can use trail control under the
following speeds:
•
20 mph (31 km/h) in two-wheel or
four-wheel drive high range.
•
10 mph (15 km/h) in four-wheel drive
low range.
•
5 mph (8 km/h) in reverse (R).
You may hear a noise from the anti-lock
brake system pump motor when you use
the system. This is normal.
