With the introduction of an all-new generation, the 2024 Traverse is underscored by a fresh exterior design that boasts a tough, truck-inspired front fascia and overall off-road-focused appearance. To compliment this new look, the third-gen Bow Tie crossover features a few drive modes, so with that in mind, GM Authority is taking a closer look at the 2024 Chevy Traverse drive modes in the following explainer.
The 2024 Traverse is available with up to five drive modes, including Tour, Sport, Snow / Ice, Off-Road, and Tow / Haul. Drivers must press the “Mode” buttons on the instrument panel positioned to the left of the steering wheel to activate each mode. When a mode is selected, an indicator will appear in the instrument cluster and remain active.
It’s worth noting that Tour is the default mode at every ignition cycle.
Tour
Tour Mode is used during normal city and highway driving to provide a smooth ride and provides a balance between comfort and handling.
Sport
Sport Mode is used when road conditions or personal preferences dictate a more controlled response from the vehicle. As such, this drive mode improves vehicle handling and acceleration on dry pavement by modifying steering efforts, pedal tuning, and engine sound.
Snow / Ice
Snow / Ice Mode improves acceleration on snow-covered roads. When activated, this drive mode adjusts pedal tuning to optimize traction on slippery surfaces.
Off-Road
Off-road mode is used for recreational driving in all-terrain conditions. It improves driving at moderate speeds on grass, gravel, dirt, and unpaved or snow-covered roads. With the accelerator pedal tuned for off-road use, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS) systems are modified for performance.
Tow / Haul
Tow / Haul Mode is used when pulling a heavy load. When active, this drive mode modifies transmission shifting, suspension tuning, steering effort, and Trailer Sway Control in order to assist in maintaining the desired vehicle speed when driving on downhill grades. For vehicles equipped with the AWD drivetrain, this mode also engages AWD.
