Question "offroad" in the dash cluster.

So, today I am sitting waiting for niner domestic, with the roof off, sun shining in. Because of the glare I can see everything that could possibly light up on my instrument cluster. I see "offroad". So I grab my manual, and there in nothing mentioned in it at all. Of course I did a search on here, and before anyone says something, do a search for offroad ANYTHING on this site. You get more hits than Carter has pills.....
So can anyone tell me how to get it lit up? I have had it offroad, but alas all I see is the traction control light come on. When I kick in 4WD hi or lo all that comes on is the 4WD light. Maybe I am not wheeling hard enough?

Thanks guys......

LOL I'm getting to old I know who Carter is and have heard the phrase before. Funny a guy from Ontario has heard it/used it and some in the USA haven't. No slam intended just struck me funny.- President Carter and liver pills is how I've heard it.

As my dad used to sing,

"Hark the herald angels sing,
Carter's Pills are just the thing,
One for man and two for child,
'Cause they are so very mild."

The offroad on the dash is probably for the euro crowd.
The Carter's Pills thing predates Jimmy Carter, my grandfather used to talk about Carter's Pills.

i think it's because the cluster is the same as D/C (or just C?) models (never having actually been in one. i'm faithful). if they don't have a two position tcase, they just push a button to engage 4wd, and "offroad" will light up.
