REVERSE BRAKING ASSIST –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is reverse braking assist unavailable?
•
Make sure the reverse braking assist is
on. See Switching Reverse Braking

• Make sure that all doors and the
liftgate or tailgate are closed. Drive the
vehicle on a straight road for a short
period. If the message remains, contact
an authorized dealer.
• Make sure the cross traffic alert system
is on if equipped.
See Switching

drive modes such as mud/ruts and
snow/sand is activated.
• The vehicle may have sustained a rear
end impact. Contact an authorized
dealer to have the sensors checked for
proper coverage and operation.
• An anti-lock brake, traction control or
stability control event may have
occurred. Reverse braking assist
resumes operation when the event is
complete.
• Make sure the rear view camera and
360 degree camera are not dirty or
obstructed. If dirty, clean the camera.
If the message still appears after
cleaning the camera, wait a short time
for the message to clear. If the
message does not clear, contact an
authorized dealer. •

Cross Traffic Alert Sensors (page
373). See Locating the Rear Parking
Aid Sensors
(page 314).
• You recently had your vehicle serviced,
or the battery disconnected. Drive your
vehicle a short distance to resume
system operation.
• Reverse braking assist does not
function when you connect a trailer.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your wheels begin to spin, the loss of
traction can compromise steering control
and stability of the vehicle. The traction
control system applies the brakes to
individual wheels and when needed,
reduces engine power at the same time to
increase traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehicle
with the traction control disabled could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. The traction control system turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
The button for the stability and traction
control system is on the instrument panel. Press and release the button to switch
traction control off. The stability control
system remains fully active, to switch it off,
press and hold the button for a few
seconds, then release.
When you switch traction control off, a
message and an illuminated icon appear
on the instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to turn the traction
control system back on to normal
operation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions
regarding this feature. See
What Is
MyKey (page 96).
TRACTION CONTROL
INDICATOR
Stability and Traction Control
Indicator If the indicator does not
illuminate when you switch the
ignition on, or remains on when
the engine is running, this indicates a
malfunction. Have your vehicle checked
by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. The traction control off indicator
illuminates when you switch the
traction control system off, or
when an alternative stability control mode
is selected that requires the traction
control off depending on the drive mode
selected.

HOW DOES STABILITY
CONTROL WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modifications
involving braking system, aftermarket
roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic
stability control system. In addition,
installing any stereo speakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system.
Reducing the effectiveness of the
electronic stability control system could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. WARNING:
Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It's always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator's ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. 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.
If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or traction control you may
experience the following conditions:
• The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent skids or lateral
slides by applying brakes to one or more
of the wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent rollovers by
detecting your vehicle ’s roll motion and
the rate at which it changes by applying
the brakes to one or more wheels
individually.
Curve Control
Curve control enhances your vehicle ’s
ability to follow the road when cornering
severely or avoiding objects in the roadway.
Curve control operates by reducing engine
power and, if necessary, applying brakes
to one or more of the wheels individually.
