HOW DOES ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
WORK
All-wheel drive uses all four wheels topower the vehicle. This increases traction,enabling you to drive over terrain and roadconditions that a conventional two-wheeldrive vehicle cannot. The AWD systemturns on when needed and does not requireinput from you.
There is further information on driving inunique driving conditions. See DrivingHints (page 259).
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not becomeoverconfident in the ability of all-wheeldrive vehicles. Although an all-wheeldrive vehicle may accelerate better thana two-wheel drive vehicle in low tractionsituations, it won't stop any faster thantwo-wheel drive vehicles. Always driveat a safe speed.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS
Using different size tires other than theprovided spare could cause systemdamage or disable the all-wheel drivesystem.

BRAKES – FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS
Is brake dust on the wheels normal?
Brake dust could accumulate on thewheels, even under normal drivingconditions. Some dust is inevitable asthe brakes wear and does notcontribute to brake noise. SeeCleaning Wheels (page 302).
Will wet driving conditions effect mybraking abilities?
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brakepedal a few times when driving froma car wash or standing water to dry thebrakes.
Is brake noise considered normal?
Occasional brake noise is normal. If ametal-to-metal, continuous grindingor continuous squeal sound is present,the brake linings may be worn-out andan authorized dealer should checkthem. If the vehicle has continuousvibration or shudder in the steeringwheel while braking, an authorizeddealer should check your vehicle.
When should you replace the brakefluid?
Brake fluid absorbs water over timewhich degrades the effectiveness ofthe brake fluid. Change the brake fluidat the specified intervals to preventdegraded braking performance. SeeNormal Scheduled Maintenance(page 391).

HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheelsand, when needed, reduces power at thesame time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces power in order toincrease traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
When you switch the system off or on, amessage appears in the informationdisplay showing system status.
You can switch the system off with thetraction control switch.
Using a Switch
Use the traction control switch on theinstrument panel to switch the system offor on.

HOW DOES STABILITY
CONTROL WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modificationsinvolving braking system, aftermarketroof racks, suspension, steering system,tire construction and wheel and tire sizemay change the handling characteristicsof your vehicle and may adversely affectthe performance of the electronicstability control system. In addition,installing any stereo loudspeakers mayinterfere with and adversely affect theelectronic stability control system. Installany aftermarket stereo loudspeaker asfar as possible from the front centerconsole, the tunnel, and the front seatsin order to minimize the risk of interferingwith the electronic stability controlsensors. Reducing the effectiveness ofthe electronic stability control systemcould lead to an increased risk of loss ofvehicle control, vehicle rollover, personalinjury and death.
WARNING: Remember that evenadvanced technology cannot defy thelaws of physics. It's always possible tolose control of a vehicle due toinappropriate driver input for theconditions. Aggressive driving on anyroad condition can cause you to losecontrol of your vehicle increasing the riskof personal injury or property damage.Activation of the electronic stabilitycontrol system is an indication that atleast some of the tires have exceededtheir ability to grip the road; this couldreduce the operator's ability to controlthe vehicle potentially resulting in a lossof vehicle control, vehicle rollover,personal injury and death. If yourelectronic stability control systemactivates, SLOW DOWN.
If a driving condition activates either thestability control or the traction controlsystem you may experience the followingconditions:
•The stability and traction control lightflashes.
•Your vehicle slows down.
•Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has severalfeatures built into it to help you maintaincontrol of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances yourvehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateralslides by applying brakes to one or moreof the wheels individually and, if necessary,reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances yourvehicle’s ability to prevent rollovers bydetecting your vehicle’s roll motion andthe rate at which it changes by applyingthe brakes to one or more wheelsindividually.
Curve Control
Curve control enhances your vehicle’sability to follow the road when corneringseverely or avoiding objects in the roadway.Curve control operates by reducing enginepower and, if necessary, applying brakesto one or more of the wheels individually.
Traction Control
Traction control enhances your vehicle’sability to maintain traction of the wheelsby detecting and controlling wheel spin.See How Does Traction Control Work(page 190).

The side parking aid may not function if:
•Your vehicle remains stationary for overtwo minutes.
•The anti-lock brake system activates.
•The traction control system activates.
•Your vehicle is in park (P).
•The steering wheel angle informationis not available. You must drive at least492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph(30 km/h) to reset the steering wheelangle information.
Note:If you switch traction control off, theside sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the lengthof your vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect anobject that is moving toward the side ofyour vehicle, for example another vehiclemoving at a low speed, if it does not passa front or rear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the sidesensing system provides audible warnings.When your vehicle is moving slowly,obstacles are detected within 24 in(60 cm) and are inside the driving path ofyour vehicle. If your vehicle remainsstationary for a few seconds, the audiblewarning turns off. Visual indication isalways present in reverse (R).
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the sidesensing system provides visual indicationonly when your vehicle is moving slowlyand there is a front or rear parking aidobstacle detected, and the side obstacleis within 24 in (60 cm) from the side ofyour vehicle. If your vehicle remainsstationary for a few seconds, the visualindication turns off.
If the transmission is in drive (D) or anyother forward gear, the side sensing systemprovides audible and visual warnings.When your vehicle is moving slowly,obstacles are detected within 24 in(60 cm) and are inside the driving path ofyour vehicle. If your vehicle remainsstationary for a few seconds, the visualindication and audible warning turns off.
LOCATING THE SIDE PARKING AIDSENSORS
The side parking sensors are located in thesides of the front and rear bumpers.
SIDE PARKING AID AUDIBLEWARNINGS
When the side parking aid detects anobject within the coverage area and thedriving path of your vehicle, an audiblewarning sounds. As your vehicle movescloser to the object, the rate of the toneincreases.
