Intelligent Traction Management

What’s the Benefit?

Intelligent Traction Management⁶⁶ helps enable Passport drivers to maintain traction, stability and driving confidence in a wide variety of conditions—with the ease of just pushing a button.

The Feature:

The Passport benefits from an advanced feature to enhance traction in a variety of conditions.

• The system was engineered at the Honda R&D facility in Ohio and tested worldwide—from the sands of Dubai and Moscow mud to the snows of Minnesota.
• It works with the Drive-by-Wire throttle, the VSA^® system, the transmission shift map and the all-wheel-drive system to provide the optimum power for the surface friction available.
• Drivers can select between Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand modes.
• To change modes, drivers press the Intelligent Traction Management button behind the shifter; the button has a vehicle-profile icon. 
• On the first push, the DII will display the modes available.
• Subsequent pushes will cycle through the available modes.
• When the desired mode is highlighted, it will be engaged after a 3-second interval.
• The selected mode will remain engaged until a new one is selected, or the ignition is shut off.
• The system will default to Normal mode upon restart.
