Snow Mode Pathfinder can adapt to a wide range of snowy, icy and even wet conditions with a number of counter measures, including using a higher gear ratio to make the throttle less sensitive for more predictable acceleration, increased steering weight for a higher feeling of control, and locking 4WD from a standstill for maximum traction. The end result is a driving experience that gives you the confidence you’ll need for the worst days of winter.[2, 3]
Sand Mode Climbing the dunes, or hitting the beach, Sand Mode will help see you through. This mode aggressively changes transmission upshift timing, increases rear torque for increased traction and modifies wheel slip response.[3]
Mud/Rut Mode Mud can be a gooey mess – good thing you won’t have to get out and push! Used for muddy, rutted, soft or uneven terrain. This mode increases engine torque at the rear wheels, adds a slight delay in transmission upshifts and modifies sensitivity and stability control to keep your wheels spinning and maintain momentum.[3]
Tow Mode Bring what you want with confidence. This mode enhances your towing experience with greater trailering capabilities through Trailer Sway Control, while improving traction on boat ramps or uneven roads by automatically engaging 4WD mode.[4]
Sport Mode Whether you need a quick weekend getaway, or just to get around that 18-wheeler, this mode adjusts throttle and transmission response to give you quicker acceleration.
