Traction Control System (TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors the
amount of wheel spin of each of the driven
wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS may
apply brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/
or reduce engine power to provide enhanced
acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS,
Brake Limited Differential (BLD), functions
similar to a limited slip differential and controls
the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel
on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other,
the system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be
applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD
may remain enabled even if TCS and Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) are in a reduced mode.

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the taillights, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.Rear Detection Zones

When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both outside
rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear or
REVERSE (R) and enters standby mode when the
vehicle is in PARK (P).
The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane width on both sides of the vehicle, 12 ft
(3.8 m). The zone length starts at the outside rear
view mirror and extends approximately 10 ft
(3 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The
BSM system monitors the detection zones on both
sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system DOES NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching vehicles
that are outside the detection zones.
The BSM system detection zone DOES
NOT change if your vehicle is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the adja-
cent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the
trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in the BSM
warning light remaining illuminated the
entire time the vehicle is in a forward gear.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
may experience drop outs (blinking on and
off) of the side mirror Warning Indicator
lamps when a motorcycle or any small
object remains at the side of the vehicle
for extended periods of time (more than a
couple of seconds).
The area on taillights, where the radar
sensors are located, must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so
that the BSM system can function properly.
Do not block the taillights where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).

tion. Do not pause with the transfer case in
N (Neutral). Once the shift is completed,
place the transmission into DRIVE.
NOTE:
Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped; however, diffi-
culty may occur due to the mating teeth not
being properly aligned. Several attempts may
be required for clutch teeth alignment and
shift completion to occur. The preferred
method is with the vehicle rolling at 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Avoid attempting to
engage or disengage 4L with the vehicle
moving faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).Trac-Lok Rear Axle — If Equipped
The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant
driving force to both rear wheels and reduces
wheel spin caused by the loss of traction at
one driving wheel. If traction differs between
the two rear wheels, the differential automat -
ically proportions the usable torque by
providing more torque to the wheel that has
traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery
driving conditions. With both rear wheels on
a slippery surface, a slight application of the
accelerator will supply maximum traction.
Axle Lock (Tru-Lok) — Rubicon Models

The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the instru -
ment panel (to the right of the steering column).

Axle Lock Switch Panel
This feature will only activate when the
following conditions are met:
Ignition in RUN position, vehicle in 4L
(Low) range.

Vehicle speed should be 10 mph (16 km/h)
or less.

Both right and left wheels on axle are at
the same speed.
To activate the system, push the AXLE LOCK
switch down to lock the rear axle only (the
“REAR ONLY” will illuminate), push the
switch up to lock the front axle and rear axle
WARNING!
Failure to engage a transfer case position
completely can cause transfer case
damage or loss of power and vehicle
control. You could have a collision. Do not
drive the vehicle unless the transfer case
is fully engaged.
WARNING!
On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip
differential, never run the engine with one
rear wheel off the ground. The vehicle may
drive through the rear wheel remaining on
the ground and cause you to lose control of
your vehicle.

Chassis
ComponentFluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Automatic Transmission We recommended you use TUTELA TRANSMISSION AS8 Fluid, or equivalent,
meeting requirement of FCA Material Standard 9.55550-AV5 or MS.90030-A5.
Failure to use the correct fluid may affect the function or performance of your
transmission.
Transfer Case We recommend you use TUTELA TRANSMISSION FORCE 4 Fluid, or equivalent,
meeting requirement of FCA Material Standard 9.55550-AV4 or MS.9602.
Axle Differential (Front Axles) We recommend you use Mopar Gear & Axle Lubricant (SAE 75W85)(API GL-5)
or equivalent.
Axle Differential (Rear M200 Sales Code DRZ) We recommend you use TUTELA TRANSMISSION X-ROAD, or equivalent,
meeting the requirement of FCA Material Standard 9.55550-DA7 or MS.8985
(SAE 75W-140, API GL-5).
Axle Differential (Rear M220 Sales Codes DRE/DRF) We recommend you use Mopar Gear & Axle Lubricant (SAE 75W85)(API GL-5) or equivalent. Models equipped with Trac-Lok Limited Slip Differential require a
friction modifier additive.
Brake Master Cylinder We recommend you use Mopar DOT 3 Brake Fluid, SAE J1703. If DOT 3 brake
fluid is not available then TUTELA TOP4/S, FMVSS no. 116 DOT4, ISO 4925
SAE J1704, or equivalent, is acceptable.
If using DOT 4 brake fluid, the fluid must be changed every 24 months
regardless of mileage.
