HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
WORK
Using the 1-Speed Automatic Four-Wheel Drive System
The 1-speed automatic four-wheel drivesystem utilizes an electronically controlledon-demand 1-speed transfer case. Thissystem monitors various vehicle sensoryinputs to provide an increased level ofperformance. This system offers the drivertwo-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive autoand four-wheel drive high as available modesof operation via the selectable drive modeswitch. When four-wheel drive auto isselected, the system continuously variespower to the front wheels for optimumperformance for all on-road conditions. Whenfour-wheel drive high is selected, the systemprovides power to the front and rear wheelsfor use in off-road or slippery conditions suchas deep snow, sand or mud. There is furtherinformation on driving in unique drivingconditions. See Driving Hints (page 384).
Using the 2-Speed Automatic Four-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drivesystem utilizes an electronically controlledon-demand 2-speed transfer case. Thissystem monitors various vehicle sensoryinputs to provide an increased level ofperformance. This system offers the drivertwo-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive auto,four-wheel drive high, and four-wheel drivelow as available modes of operation. Whenfour-wheel drive auto is selected, the systemcontinuously varies power to the front wheelsfor optimum performance for all on-roadconditions. When either four-wheel drive highor four-wheel drive low are selected with theappropriate drive modes , the four-wheeldrive system provides electronically lockedpower to the front and rear wheels for usein off-road or slippery conditions such asdeep snow, sand or mud. Selecting slowclimb also provides additional gearing forincreased torque multiplication for conditionslike deep sand, snow, steep slopes, or pulling
heavy objects. See Slow Climb (page 297).Additionally, the system is capable ofrecreational flat towing by putting thetransfer case into neutral (N). SeeRecreationally Towing Your Vehicle (page397).
There is further information on driving inunique driving conditions. See Driving Hints(page 384).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Vehicles with a highercenter of gravity (utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles) handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,excessive speed and abrupt steering inthese vehicles. Failure to drive cautiouslyincreases the risk of losing control of yourvehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoiddrive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION CONTROL
WORK
If your wheels begin to spin, the loss oftraction can compromise steering controland stability of the vehicle. The tractioncontrol system applies the brakes toindividual wheels and when needed, reducesengine power at the same time to increasetraction.
SWITCHING TRACTION CONTROL
ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
The system turns traction control and stabilitycontrol on each time you power on yourvehicle.
1.Press Features on the touchscreen.
2.Press Driver Assistance.
3.Switch Traction Control on or off.
Note:When you switch traction control off,a message and an illuminated icon appearon the information display.
Turn the system back on to return to normaloperation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,switching traction control off may bebeneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note:When you switch traction control off,stability control remains fully active.
Your vehicle could have MyKey restrictionsregarding this feature. See ConfigurableMyKey Settings (page 82).
TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR
Stability and Traction Control Indicator
If the indicator does not illuminatewhen you switch the ignition on,or remains on when the engine isrunning, this indicates a malfunction. Haveyour vehicle checked by an authorizeddealer as soon as possible.

HOW DOES STABILITY CONTROL
WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modificationsinvolving braking system, aftermarket roofracks, suspension, steering system, tireconstruction and wheel and tire size maychange the handling characteristics of yourvehicle and may adversely affect theperformance of the electronic stabilitycontrol system. In addition, installing anystereo speakers may interfere with andadversely affect the electronic stabilitycontrol system. Reducing the effectivenessof the electronic stability control systemcould lead to an increased risk of loss ofvehicle control, vehicle rollover, personalinjury and death.
WARNING: Remember that evenadvanced technology cannot defy the lawsof physics. It's always possible to losecontrol of a vehicle due to inappropriatedriver input for the conditions. Aggressivedriving on any road condition can causeyou to lose control of your vehicle
increasing the risk of personal injury orproperty damage. Activation of theelectronic stability control system is anindication that at least some of the tireshave exceeded their ability to grip theroad; this could reduce the operator'sability to control the vehicle potentiallyresulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehiclerollover, personal injury and death.
WARNING: You are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle at all times. Thesystem is designed to be an aid and doesnot relieve you of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention. Failureto follow this instruction could result in theloss of control of your vehicle, personalinjury or death.
If a driving condition activates either thestability control or traction control you mayexperience the following conditions:
•The stability and traction control lightflashes.
•Your vehicle slows down.
•Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has severalfeatures built into it to help you maintaincontrol of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances yourvehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateralslides by applying brakes to one or more ofthe wheels individually and, if necessary,reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances your vehicle’sability to prevent rollovers by detecting yourvehicle’s roll motion and the rate at which itchanges by applying the brakes to one ormore wheels individually.
Curve Control
Curve control enhances your vehicle’s abilityto follow the road when cornering severelyor avoiding objects in the roadway. Curvecontrol operates by reducing engine powerand, if necessary, applying brakes to one ormore of the wheels individually.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
HOW DOES ELECTRIC POWERSTEERING WORK
The electric power steering system assiststhe brake system to help operate advancedstability control and accident avoidancesystems.
If your vehicle loses electrical power ordetects a concern when you are driving thesystem switches off and you retain normalsteering function. Additionally, whenever thebattery is disconnected or a new battery isinstalled, you must drive your vehicle a shortdistance before the system relearns thestrategy and reactivates all systems.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The electric powersteering system has diagnostic checks thatcontinuously monitor the system. If a faultis detected, a message displays in theinformation display. Stop your vehicle assoon as it is safe to do so. Switch thevehicle off. After at least 10 seconds, switchthe vehicle on and watch the informationdisplay for a steering system warningmessage. If a steering system warningmessage returns, have the system checkedas soon as possible.
WARNING: If the system detects anerror, you may not feel a difference in thesteering, however a serious condition mayexist. Have your vehicle checked as soonas possible. Failure to do so may result inloss of steering control.
Adapt your speed and driving behavioraccording to reduced steering assist.
Extreme continuous steering may increasethe effort to steer. This occurs to preventinternal overheating and damage to thesteering system. If this occurs, you will notlose the ability to steer your vehicle manuallynor will it cause damage to the system.Normal steering and driving allows thesystem to cool down and steering assistreturns to normal.

HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Drive mode control adjusts your vehicleconfiguration for each mode you select.
Changing the drive mode adjusts thesteering effort and feel of the steeringsystem.
The stability and traction control assist yourvehicle control in adverse conditions orhigh-performance driving.
Throttle control enhances the powertrainresponse, transmission controls becomeoptimized with shift schedules, andfour-wheel drive settings are optimized andtuned to each mode.
Changing the drive mode can engage ordisengage the electronic locking differentials.
Changing the drive mode changes thefour-wheel drive mode to the default settingfor the selected drive mode.
Note:The system has diagnostic checks thatcontinuously monitor the system for properoperation. If a mode is unavailable due to asystem fault, the drive mode system defaultsto normal. When the system defaults tonormal, the driveline settings remain thesame as prior to the system fault.
Note:The system reverts to the normalmode each time you start your vehicle. Atstartup the system also displays a prompton the instrument cluster display that givesyou the option to return to the previouslyselected drive mode during the last ignitioncycle. If you select yes, the system returnsto the last selected drive mode and thedefault driveline settings associated withthat mode. If you select no, the systemremains in normal mode and the drivelinesettings remain the same as selected in theprior ignition cycle. If you do not select yesor no, the system stays in normal mode andthe driveline settings remain the same asselected in the prior ignition cycle.
