FOUR WHEEL DRIVE — JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE (4WD)
AND JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE LOW (4WD LOW)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Power Transfer Unit (PTU). This system is
automatic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills required. Under normal
driving conditions, the front wheels provide most of the traction. If the front wheels
begin to lose traction, power is shifted automatically to the rear wheels. The greater
the front wheel traction loss, the greater the power transfer to the rear wheels.
Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy throttle input (where one may have no
wheel spin), torque will be sent to the rear in a preemptive effort to improve vehicle
launch and performance characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and type tires. Unequal tire sizes must not beused. Unequal tire size may cause failure of the power transfer unit.
Four Wheel Drive (4X4)
The four wheel drive (4WD) is fully automatic in normal driving mode.
NOTE:
It is not possible to carry out the change of mode when the car exceeds the speed of
75 mph (120 km/h).
Enabling Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The buttons for the activation of four wheel drive are located on the device
Selec-Terrain™ and allow you to select the following:
• 4WD LOCK
• 4WD LOW — (Trailhawk models only)
Active Drive Control — If Equipped
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is locked
to ensure immediate availability of
torque to the rear drive axles. This feature
is selectable in AUTO mode and auto-
matic in the other driving mode. 4WD
LOCK can be enabled by the following
ways:
• When the 4WD LOCK button is
pressed.
• When the Selec-Terrain™ switch is
rotated from AUTO to any other off-
road modes.

SELEC-TERRAIN™
Selec-Terrain™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Mode Selection Guide
Rotate the Selec-Terrain™ knob to select the desired mode.
•AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation
is a continuous operation, is fully au-
tomatic and can be used on and off
road. This mode balances traction to
ensure maneuverability and accelera-
tion improvement compared to a car
with two wheel drive. This mode also
reduces fuel consumption, since it al-
lows the disconnect of the drive shaft
where conditions permit.
•SNOW: This mode allows you to have
greater stability under conditions of
bad weather. For use on and off road on
surfaces with poor traction, such as
roads covered with snow. When in
SNOW mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmis-
sion may use second gear (rather than
first gear) during launches, to mini-
mize wheel slippage.
•SAND: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as
sandy bottoms. The transmission is set
to provide maximum traction.
•MUD: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as
roads covered by mud or wet grass.
•ROCK(Trailhawk only): This mode isonly available in 4WD LOW range. Thedevice sets the vehicle to maximizetraction and allow the highest steering capacity for off-road surfaces. This modegives you the maximum performance off-road. Use for low speed obstacles such aslarge rocks, deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
• Rock mode is only available on the vehicles equipped with the Off-Road package.
•Activate the Hill Descent Control or Selec Speed Control for steep downhill control. See“Electronic Brake Control System” in this section for further information.

NOTE:
When recreationally towing your vehicle, always follow applicable state and provin-
cial laws. Contact state and provincial Highway Safety offices for additional details.
Recreational Towing
Models With Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)
Recreational towing is allowed ONLY if the front wheels are OFF the ground. This may
be accomplished using a tow dolly (front wheels off the ground) or vehicle trailer (all
four wheels off the ground). If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:
• Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
• Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
• Apply the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). Place the transmission in PARK.
• Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
• Release the EPB.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain will result. If this vehicle
requires towing, make sure the drive wheels are OFF the ground.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Models With Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
Recreational towing (with all four wheels on the ground, or using a towing dolly) is
NOT ALLOWED. This vehicle may be towed on a flatbed or vehicle trailer provided all
four wheels are OFF the ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle with ANY of its wheels on the ground can cause severe
transmission and/or power transfer unit damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low EVIC or DID display.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air
temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the
outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be
increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermar-
ket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
