Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC). Failure to follow the guidelines could result in vehicle damage, serious injury, or death.
Use extreme care when maneuvering the vehicle in challenging off-road conditions. The driver must maintain full control of the steering and be prepared to use the brakes at all times.
Do not attempt a steep descent if ATPC is not enabled, or if the instrument panel displays any warning lamps or messages.
Do not allow ATPC displays to distract the driver while the vehicle is moving.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before using All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC). See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) SAFETY. ATPC is an aid to off-road driving. When activated, the system attempts to maintain a constant vehicle speed when met with challenging off-road conditions. For example, when traversing snow, grass, gravel, sand, or mud.
Two levels of ATPC are available:
When ATPC is enabled, and the brake pedal is fully released, the system helps to provide controlled and progressive assistance to allow the vehicle to:
ATPC also works in conjunction with the terrain response system and applies different acceleration rates based on the selected driving program. For example, the grass gravel snow setting requires the ATPC system to apply gentle vehicle acceleration. The comfort setting requires the ATPC system to apply a greater rate of vehicle acceleration. See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION. The instrument panel displays warning and information messages to make sure the full benefits of ATPC are realized.
The cruise control, speed limiter, and auto stop/start systems are disabled when ATPC is operating.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before using All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC). See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) SAFETY. ATPC can be enabled when the vehicle is stationary or moving. When enabled, the system defaults to descent control mode. See DESCENT CONTROL MODE.
Vehicles with a lower touchscreen only: Touch the VEHICLE icon on the lower touchscreen.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before using All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC). See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) SAFETY.
Descent control mode attempts to maintain a constant vehicle speed when descending a slope.
To enter descent control mode:
ATPC takes control of the vehicle’s speed during the descent. The selected terrain response program determines the vehicle’s speed during the descent. The vehicle’s speed can be reduced by moving the SET switch on the right side steering wheel controls downward. ATPC suspends descent control mode operation if the accelerator pedal is pressed. Descent control mode resumes once the accelerator pedal is no longer being used.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before using All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC). See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) SAFETY.
Full function mode builds on the features available in descent control mode, to further enhance the vehicle’s ability to gain traction in challenging conditions. The benefits of full-function mode include:
Full function mode is only available if the driver’s seat belt is buckled and all doors are closed. The instrument panel displays a warning message if these conditions are not met.
To enter full function mode, first, enable ATPC. See ENABLING ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC).
The vehicle is now in descent control mode.
To enter full function mode with the vehicle stationary, move the switch (4) up to the SET+ position (1) with the brake pedal firmly pressed.
To enter full function mode with the vehicle moving, move the switch (4) up to the SET+ position (1).
To adjust the vehicle’s speed while full function mode is active:
The RES switch should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it. Pressing the RES switch when not aware of the set speed may lead to a loss of control of the vehicle.
Incremental increases or decreases in the set speed vary depending on the vehicle’s current set speed, as follows:
The minimum set speed is 2 mph (3 km/h).
ATPC reverts back to descent mode if:
Light, gentle use of the brake pedal lowers the full-function mode set speed. When the brake pedal is released, ATPC maintains the speed at which the vehicle was traveling when the brake pedal was released. A slight pulsation may be felt through the brake pedal when ATPC is actively braking.
All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) does not operate if the following systems are enabled:
ATPC may also not operate if a system fault is present.
ATPC operation is disabled if the vehicle’s speed rises above 50 mph (80 km/h). In this event, the ATPC information lamp extinguishes.
ATPC operation is suspended if:
ATPC performance is affected:
The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver of any performance or system issues.
