Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen.
The RCA jacks allow audio and video signals to
be connected from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
Standard RCA cables, not included, are needed
to connect the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. The
yellow connector inputs video and the red and whiteconnectors input right and left audio. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper connection of the
auxiliary device.
To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded RCA
jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the
RSE system power on. If the RSE system had been
previously in the DVD player mode, pressing the SRCE
button on the faceplate or the remote control will
switch the RSE system between the auxiliary device
and the DVD player.

The StabiliTrak®button is
located on the instrument
panel.
StabiliTrak
®and part of the traction control system can
be turned off or back on by pressing the StabiliTrak®
button. All-wheel drive vehicles must be in all-wheel
drive mode to turn the system on or off.
Four-wheel-drive vehicles must be in 2HI, 4HI
or AUTO 4WD to turn the system on or off.
When the system is turned off, the traction off light will
illuminate, and the STABILITY SYS DISABLED
message will appear on the DIC to warn the driver that
both the stability system and part of the traction
control system are disabled. Your vehicle will still have
brake-traction control when StabiliTrak
®is off, but
will not be able to use the engine speed management
system. See “Traction Control Operation” next for
more information.
When the StabiliTrak
®system has been turned off, you
may still hear system noises as a result of the
brake-traction control coming on.It is recommended to leave the system on for normal
driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the
system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or
snow, and you want to “rock” your vehicle to attempt to
free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the system
when driving in extreme off-road conditions where high
wheel spin is required. SeeIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in
Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-49.
When the transfer case is in 4LO, the stability system is
automatically disabled, and the STABILITY SYS
DISABLED message will appear on the DIC. In 4LO,
the StabiliTrak
®button only turns the traction control
system on and off.
Traction Control Operation
The traction control system is part of the StabiliTrak®
system. Traction control limits wheel spin by reducing
engine power to the wheels (engine speed
management) and by applying brakes to each individual
wheel (brake-traction control) as necessary.
The traction control system is enabled automatically
when you start your vehicle, and it will activate
and display the TRACTION ACTIVE message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC) if it senses that any of
the wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction
while driving. If you turn off StabiliTrak
®, only the
brake-traction control portion of traction control will work.

QUADRASTEER™
The QUADRASTEER™ System has a control and
diagnostic module that monitors and records current
system status and operational information.
If your vehicle is equipped with the 4-Wheel Steer
system, it has the ability to steer the vehicle with
all four wheels.
Once the 4-Wheel Steer mode is selected, it is
recommended to leave the vehicle in this mode at all
times, and during all driving and weather conditions.
You can select this mode at any speed, however, if you
are turning, the system will not engage until the turn
is complete.
The 4-Wheel Steer system is equipped with three
different driving modes:
2:Two-wheel steering
4:Four-wheel steering
_:Four-wheel steering with a trailer modeThe switch is located on the instrument panel.
2:In this mode, the vehicle will operate like any other
vehicle with two-wheel steering. If you want to use
2-wheel steer mode and your vehicle is not in this mode,
press the button until the 2 indicator, located to the
right of the 4-Wheel Steer button, lights up. If the
2 indicator is ashing, you will have to center the
steering wheel by turning it to the left or right.
Your vehicle will return to 2 when the transmission is
shifted into NEUTRAL (N), for example when entering a
car wash.
4-15
If you want to use tire chains, the vehicle needs to be
in 2-wheel steer mode. For more information see
Tire Chains on page 5-75.
4:In this mode, all four wheels will help steer the
vehicle. If you want to use 4, and your vehicle is not in
this mode, press the button, until the 4 indicator,
located to the right of the 4-Wheel Steer button, comes
on and stays on. If the 4 indicator is ashing, you
will have to center the steering wheel by turning it to the
left or right.
At slower speeds the front and rear wheels will turn in
opposite directions. This helps the vehicle make
tighter turns, such as during parking, cornering and
turning into tight spaces.At higher speeds the front and rear wheels will turn in
the same direction. This improves stability of the vehicle
during lane changes and sweeping turns.
_(4-Wheel Steer Tow Mode):When towing a
trailer, the 4-wheel steer tow mode provides enhanced
stability allowing the trailer to follow the path of the tow
vehicle more closely, especially during lane changes.
In this mode the system operates much like the 4 mode,
but is enhanced for trailer towing. It is recommended
for all types and weights of trailers. Slower Speeds (below 40 mph (64 km/h))
Higher Speeds (40 mph (64 km/h), and above)
