SSC is intended for off road driving in 4WD Low
Range only. SSC maintains vehicle speed by
actively controlling engine torque and brakes.
SSC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not acti-
vate)
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but
activation conditions are not met, or driver is
actively overriding with brake or throttle ap-
plication)
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively con-
trolling vehicle speed)
Enabling SSC
SSC is enabled by pressing the SSC switch, but
the following conditions must also be met to
enable SSC:
•
Driveline is in 4WD Low Range
•
Vehicle speed is below 5mph (8 km/h)
•
Parking brake is released
•
Driver door is closed
•
Driver is not applying throttle
Activating SSC
Once SSC is enabled it will activate automati-
cally once the following conditions are met:
•
Driver releases throttle
•
Driver releases brake
•
Transmission is in any selection other than P
•
Vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h)
The set speed for SSC is selectable by the
driver, and can be adjusted by using the paddle
shifter’s. The following summarizes the SSC set
speeds:
•
P = No set speed. SSC may be enabled but
will not activate.
•
R = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
•
N = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
•
1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
•
2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
•
3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
•
4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
•
5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)
•
6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
•
7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)
•
8th = 5.0 mph (8 km/h)
NOTE:
•
During SSC the +/- paddle shifter input is
used for SSC target speed selection and
will put the transmission into ERS but will
not affect the gear chosen by the trans-
mission unless in Driver Override. During
SSC the transmission will shift appropri-
ately for the driver-selected set speed and
corresponding driving conditions.
•
SSC performance is influenced by the Ter-
rain Select mode. This difference may be
notable to the driver and may be perceived
as a varying level of aggressiveness.
Driver Override:
The driver may override SSC activation with
throttle or brake application at any time. While in
driver override the transmission will be in ERS
which is a top gear limiter and the vehicle will
shift from 1st through whichever gear is dis-
played.
