Off Road Mode

This is an Off Road Mode Indicator symbol. Its appearance is that of a winding road, or squiggly line, with mountains or triangles in its path.  It will appear in gray scale in the instrument panel’s center information display.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The mode is used to improve driving on grass, gravel, dirt, unpaved roads, or snow-covered roads that have not been groomed or plowed. The accelerator pedal will be more sensitive to provide finer control of the torque at the wheels.

In addition, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the Antilock Brake (ABS), and the Traction Control (TCS) systems will automatically adjust for optimal off-road performance.

If the indicator is unexpected, it is likely that the Mode selector has been pressed inadvertently.
