Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Use only a spacious, level, loose or soft off-road surface; stop, close the doors, hold the brake and point the front wheels straight ahead.
- 02
Engage Drive, select the Rock drive program and switch on LOW RANGE at the off-road control center.
- 03
Press the G-TURN button, then pull and continuously hold the left or right steering-wheel shift paddle for the desired rotation direction.
- 04
Keep control of the steering wheel, release the brake and press the accelerator to begin the rotation.
- 05
Release the paddle or accelerator to cancel; otherwise the system deactivates after no more than two complete rotations.
Important limits
- G-TURN is not permitted on public roads and must be used only on loose or soft surfaces such as gravel or snow.
- The driver must check the full rotation area for people, animals and obstacles before activation.
- Firm, high-grip pavement can overload tires or driveline components and is outside the stated use.
Quick checks.
- ✓If G-TURN will not arm, verify the vehicle is stationary and level, doors are closed, wheels are straight, Drive is engaged and Rock plus LOW RANGE are active.
- ✓If the maneuver stops, check whether the paddle or accelerator was released or an activation condition changed.
- ✓Do not retry in a confined area; reposition on a suitable loose surface with more clearance.
