HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE WORK
Using the Electronic Shift On the
Fly System (If Equipped)
This four-wheel drive system utilizes a
2-speed Electronic Shift On the Fly (ESOF)
transfer case which is also known as a
part-time system. This system offers the
driver two-wheel drive high, four-wheel
drive high, and four-wheel drive low as
available modes of operation. When either
four-wheel drive high or four-wheel drive
low are selected, the system provides
mechanically locked four-wheel drive
power to both the front and rear wheels
for use in off-road or slippery conditions
such as deep snow, sand or mud. Selecting
four-wheel drive low also provides
additional gearing for increased torque
multiplication for conditions like deep
sand, steep slopes, or pulling heavy
objects. Additionally, the system is capable
of recreational flat towing by putting the
transfer case into neutral (N). See
Recreationally Towing Your Vehicle
(page
469).
There is further information on driving in
unique driving conditions.
See Off-Road
Driving (page 449).
Using the 2-Speed Automatic
Four-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drive
system utilizes an electronically controlled
on-demand 2-speed transfer case. This
system monitors various vehicle sensory
inputs to provide an increased level of
performance. This system offers the driver
two-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive
auto, four-wheel drive high, and four-wheel
drive low as available modes of operation.
When four-wheel drive auto is selected,
the system continuously varies power to
the front wheels for optimum performance for all on-road conditions. When either
four-wheel drive high or four-wheel drive
low are selected, the system provides
electronically or mechanically locked
power to the front and rear wheels for use
in off-road or slippery conditions such as
deep snow, sand or mud. Selecting
four-wheel drive low also provides
additional gearing for increased torque
multiplication for conditions like deep
sand, steep slopes, or pulling heavy
objects. Additionally, the system is capable

WHAT IS REVERSE BRAKING
ASSIST
The system uses sensors on the rear of
your vehicle to detect a possible collision
and applies the brakes to either reduce the
damage from impact, or to assist in
avoiding the collision.
HOW DOES REVERSE
BRAKING ASSIST WORK
Reverse Braking Assist functions when in
reverse (R) and traveling at a speed of
1–
7 mph (1.5– 12 km/h).
If the system detects an obstacle behind
your vehicle, it provides a warning through
the rear parking aid or cross traffic alert
system.
REVERSE BRAKING ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death. WARNING:
To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash. WARNING: Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts. WARNING:
Some situations and
objects prevent hazard detection. For
example low or direct sunlight, inclement
weather, unconventional vehicle types,
and pedestrians. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not use the system
with accessories that extend beyond the
front or rear of your vehicle, for example
a trailer hitch or bike rack. The system is
not able to make corrections for the
additional length of the accessories.
The system only applies the brakes for a
short period of time when an event occurs.
Act as soon as you notice the brakes apply
in order to remain in control of the vehicle.
If you do not intervene the vehicle may
start to move again.
Note: Certain add-on devices around the
bumper or fascia may create false alerts.
For example, large trailer hitches, bicycle or
surfboard racks, license plate brackets,
bumper covers or any other device that may
block the normal detection zone of the
system. Remove the add-on device to
prevent false alerts.
Note: The system does not react to small
or moving objects, particularly those close
to the ground.
Note: The system does not operate during
hard acceleration or steering.
