Selectable steering

You can select the desired steering feel through the message center. The
settings are:
• Standard: Default factory setting.
• Sport: Slightly higher effort required for steering with more road force

felt through the steering wheel.

• Comfort: Slightly less effort required for steering with less road force

felt through the steering wheel.

After selecting the desired setting, you may feel a soft feedback bump in
the steering wheel when the changeover occurs.

Note: If the battery is disconnected or removed, the steering setting will
default to standard.

Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.

AXLE INFORMATION

Traction-Lok™ axle (if equipped)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when
one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
Traction-Lok™ axle functions like a standard rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on a
Traction-Lok™ rear axle could result in a permanent reduction in
effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal driving
and should not be noticeable to the driver.

Axle with Torsen™ differential (if equipped)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when
one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
axle equipped with a Torsen™ differential functions like a standard rear
axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on a
rear axle equipped with a Torsen™ differential could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not
affect normal driving and should not be noticeable to the driver.
