To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily
push the “ESC OFF” switch and the “ESC
Off Indicator Light” will illuminate. To turn
the ESC on again, momentarily push the
“ESC OFF” switch and the “ESC Off Indi-
cator Light” will turn off.
NOTE:
When driving with snow chains, or when
starting off in deep snow, sand, or gravel, it
may be desirable to allow more wheel spin.
This can be accomplished by momentarily
pushing the “ESC Off” button to enter partial
mode “Partial Off” mode. Once the situation
requiring “Partial Off” mode is overcome,
turn ESC back on by momentarily pushing
the “ESC OFF” button. This may be done
while the vehicle is in motion. Full Off (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only)
This mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use when ESC stability features
could inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to
trail conditions. This mode is entered by
pushing and holding the “ESC OFF” switch
for five seconds when the vehicle is stopped
and the engine is running. After five
seconds, the "ESC Off Indicator Light" will
illuminate and the “ESC Off” message will
appear in the instrument cluster display.
In this mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS
section, are turned off until the vehicle
reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At
40 mph (64 km/h), the system returns to
“Partial Off” mode, as described above. TCS
remains off. When the vehicle speed drops
below 30 mph (48 km/h), the ESC system
shuts off. ESC is deactivated at low vehicle
speeds so that it will not interfere with
off-road driving. However, ESC function returns to provide the stability feature at
speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The "ESC
Off Indicator Light" will always be illumi
-
nated when ESC is off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the
“ESC Off” switch. This will restore the “ESC
On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
The “ESC Off” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the gear
selector is placed into the PARK position
from any other position, and then moved out
of the PARK position. This will occur even if
the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS
functionality of ESC, (except for the
limited slip feature described in the TCS
section), has been disabled and the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illumi -
nated. When in “Partial Off” mode, the
engine power reduction feature of TCS is
disabled, and the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system is
reduced.
Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the “Partial
Off” mode.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
In the "Full Off" mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are
disabled. In an emergency evasive
maneuver, the ESC system will not engage
to assist in maintaining stability. “ESC
Off” mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only.

exists. If the system fault no longer exists,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will no longer flash, and the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message will no longer
display, and a pressure value will display in
place of the dashes. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching full size does not have a Tire Pressure
Monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the
compact or non-matching full size spare
tire. 2. If you install the compact or
non-matching full size spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below
the low-pressure warning limit, upon the
next ignition key cycle, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will
remain on and a chime will sound. In
addition, the graphic in the instrument
cluster will still display a different color
or highlighted pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h),
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the instrument cluster will
display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message for five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pres -
sure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid, and the instrument
cluster will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message for five seconds and
then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value. 5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare, the TPMS
will update automatically. In addition,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will turn off and the
graphic in the instrument cluster will
display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this infor -
mation.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS Sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires not equipped with Tire Pressure Moni -
toring (TPM) sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the Tire Pressure

STARTING AND OPERATING
162
Take great care to ensure that conditions
do not change during the parking
maneuver (e.g. if there are persons and/or
animals in the parking place, moving vehi-
cles, etc.) and intervene immediately if
necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay attention
to vehicles approaching from the opposite
direction. Always abide by the law and
road regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed
if snow chains or the space-saver wheel
are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about
the last appropriate parking place (parallel
or perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompa-
nied by acoustic warnings.
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle
position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and
the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a haptic warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel, as
well as a visual warning in the instrument
cluster display, to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected,
a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met,
the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provide an audible and visual warning to the
driver when the driver’s hands are not
detected on the steering wheel. The system
will cancel if the driver does not return their
hands to the wheel.
Turning LaneSense On Or Off
The default status of LaneSense is
“Off”.
The LaneSense button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the
LaneSense button (LED turns off). A “Lane
Sense On” message is shown in the instru -
ment cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button again (LED turns on).
NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last
system state on or off from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/
RUN position.
LaneSense Warning Message
The LaneSense system will indicate the
current lane drift condition through the
instrument cluster display.

Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Use of traction devices require sufficient
tire-to-body clearance. Follow these recom-
mendations to guard against damage:
Traction device must be of proper size for
the tire, as recommended by the traction
device manufacturer.
Install on front tires only.
For a 215/65R16 tire, use of a snow trac-
tion device with a maximum projection of
7 mm beyond the tire profile is recom -
mended.
No other tire sizes are recommended for
use with a tire chain or traction device.
NOTE:
Any aftermarket tire add on like tire chains
may effect the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) feature performance.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform
different steering, handling, and braking
functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rota -
tion of tires. The benefits of rotation are
especially worthwhile with aggressive tread
designs such as those on On/Off Road type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the
proper maintenance intervals. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type
(M+S, Snow) between front and rear axles
can cause unpredictable handling. You
could lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device
clearance between tires and other
suspension components, it is important
that only traction devices in good condi -
tion are used. Broken devices can cause
serious damage. Stop the vehicle imme-
diately if noise occurs that could indi -
cate device breakage. Remove the
damaged parts of the device before
further use.
Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.

Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer’s if it is less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).

Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
CAUTION! (Continued)
