HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces power at the
same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces power in order 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 your traction control system
is located on the center console.
Press and release the button to switch
traction control off. The stability control
system remains fully active.
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 66).

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 loudspeakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system. Install
any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as
far as possible from the front center
console, the tunnel, and the front seats
in order to minimize the risk of interfering
with the electronic stability control
sensors. 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. If your
electronic stability control system
activates, SLOW DOWN. If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control
system 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.
Traction Control
Traction control enhances your vehicle ’s
ability to maintain traction of the wheels
by detecting and controlling wheel spin.

WHAT IS HILL DESCENT
CONTROL
Hill descent control allows the driver to set
and maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep slopes in various surface
conditions.
HOW DOES HILL DESCENT
CONTROL WORK
Hill descent control can maintain vehicle
speeds on downhill slopes between
2
– 20 mph (3– 32 km/h). Above 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system remains on but the
descent speed cannot be set or
maintained.
Note: The system does not function below
2 mph (3 km/h)
.
The system requires a cool down interval
after a period of sustained use. Hill descent
control provides a warning in the message
center and a tone sounds when the system
is about to disengage for cooling. At this
time, manually apply the brakes as needed
to maintain descent speed.
Note: The amount of time that the system
can remain active before cooling varies with
conditions.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
The system does not
control speed in low traction conditions
or extremely steep slopes. 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
personal injury. WARNING:
Hill descent control
cannot control descent in all surface
conditions and circumstances, such as
ice or extremely steep grades. Hill
descent control is a driver assist system
and cannot substitute for good judgment
by the driver. Failure to do so may result
in loss of vehicle control, crash or serious
injury. WARNING:
The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake and shift the transmission
into park (P) for automatic transmission
or first gear for manual transmission.
SWITCHING HILL DESCENT
CONTROL ON AND OFF Press the button on the center
console. A light illuminates and
a tone sounds when the system
is active.
SETTING THE HILL DESCENT
SPEED
To increase or decrease the descent speed,
press the accelerator or brake pedal, or use
the SET
+ and SET - buttons on the
steering wheel. Once you reach the
preferred speed remove your feet from the
pedals.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL
INDICATOR Illuminates when you switch hill
descent control on.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Selectable drive modes change various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. Steering feel
and effort, traction control, stability
control, chassis control, powertrain
response, transmission shift points and
four-wheel driveline settings alter to a
pre-determined setting depending upon
the drive mode that you select.
Note:
Your vehicle has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a drive mode is
unavailable due to a system fault, your
vehicle defaults to normal mode.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE To select drive modes, use the console
mounted control.
Note:
Drive mode changes may not be
available when the ignition is off.
Note: Button icon shown may vary from
your vehicle.
Note: Selected drive mode displays in the
instrument cluster display.
DRIVE MODES
ECO (If Equipped) For efficient driving. This mode
helps deliver maximum fuel
efficiency and helps to increase
driving range.
MUD/RUTS
(If Equipped) For off-road driving. This mode
enhances vehicle performance
to traverse muddy, rutted or
uneven terrains. Lower gears hold longer
in mud/ruts mode to maintain momentum
in soft conditions. Mud/ruts mode
optimizes braking for off-road conditions,
allowing quick path corrections and
minimized stopping distance when on
deformable surfaces.
Note: This mode may help get your vehicle
unstuck from deep snow or sand.
Note: Using mud/ruts mode on dry, hard
surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire and vehicle wear.
