Without hesitation I swap the Ridgeline's traction management system into Sand mode and haul ass over a berm onto the beach. (automobilemag.com)
For example, sand mode allows for lots of wheelspin, keeping the truck moving forward in loose sand and preventing it from getting buried. (fourwheeler.com)
All three non-Normal modes bias more torque to the rear, and both Mud and Sand modes hold lower gears longer and allow more slip from both the traction control and the VSA stability control system. (automobilemag.com)
