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
of recreational flat towing by putting the
transfer case into neutral (N).

•
Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
• Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:
• Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On four-wheel drive vehicles with a
mechanically locked four-wheel drive high
mode, the transfer case distributes torque
to the front wheels by mechanically
interlocking the front and rear driveshafts
together. Various external factors can
affect shifting performance of this type of
system including, but not limited to:
• Vehicle acceleration.
• Dissimilar tire sizes.
• Steering input.
If the system detects a mechanical shift
blockage at speed after you select
two-wheel drive high, the message "4x4
Unable to Disengage See Manual", could
display momentarily. If this message
displays, one or more of the following
actions can relieve the mechanical shift
block:
• Momentary acceleration.
• Momentary braking.
• Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
• Shifting the transmission to neutral and
back to drive.
• Shifting the transmission to reverse
and back to drive.
• Driving the vehicle around a tight turn
at a slow speed. SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE
The four-wheel drive mode control is on

Side Wind Stabilization
Side wind stabilization is an advanced
feature that works by carefully applying
the brakes on one side of the vehicle to
reduce the effect of a side wind gust on
the vehicle's path.
Torque Vectoring by Brakes
Torque vectoring control applies brake
torque on the inner driven wheel in a curve
for better traction to avoid an understeer,
or oversteer situation. Unlike electronic
stability control, enhanced torque
vectoring control does not slow the
vehicle. It helps control excessive wheel
slip and gives the vehicle improved
cornering agility.
Traction Control
Traction control enhances your vehicle
’s
ability to maintain traction of the wheels
by detecting and controlling wheel spin.

LANE CENTERING
HOW DOES LANE CENTERING
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help
keep your vehicle in the middle of the lane
by applying continuous assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center on
highways.
Note: The adaptive cruise control gap
setting operates normally.
If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred
lane position. The system provides
continuous assistance steering torque
input toward the preferred position.
Note: The system can only set preferred
lane positions within the lane.
Note: If the system cancels, the preferred
position erases. On the next activation, the
system provides continuous assistance
steering torque input toward the lane center. LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Do not use the system
when towing a trailer. 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
if any changes or modifications to the

CRUISE CONTROL
HOW DOES INTELLIGENT
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WORK
Intelligent adaptive cruise control
combines speed sign recognition and
navigation map data with adaptive cruise
control to adjust the cruise set speed to
the speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. As the system detects
new speed signs, the set speed updates.
There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. The intelligent
adaptive cruise control system and its
ability to determine the current speed limit
shares these limitations.
Note:
The adaptive cruise control gap
setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL 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
