results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of
the system, you must apply continuous braking pressure
during the stopping sequence, (do not “pump” the brakes).
Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no
longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is
deactivated.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving
on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capa-
bilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner, which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
The HSA system is designed to help the driver accelerate
the vehicle from a complete stop while on an incline. If the
driver releases the brake while stopped on an incline, HSA
will continue to hold the brake pressure for a short period.
If the driver does not apply the throttle before this timeexpires, the system will release brake pressure and the
vehicle will roll down the hill as normal. The system will
release brake pressure in proportion to amount of throttle
applied.
The following conditions must be met in order for HSA to
activate:
•
The vehicle must be stopped.
• The vehicle must be on a 5% (approximate) grade or
greater hill.
• The gear selection must match vehicle uphill direction
(i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle
backing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
• For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission,
the HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward
gears. The system will not activate if the transmission is
in PARK.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill Start Assist
(HSA) will not activate and slight rolling may occur,
such as on minor hills or with a loaded vehicle, or

170 SAFETY

Full Off – Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles In 4WD High And
4WD Low Range
The “Full Off” mode is intended for off-highway and
off-road use when ESC stability features could inhibit
vehicle maneuverability due to trail conditions. The “ESC
Off” button is located in the lower switch bank above the
climate control panel. To enter “Full Off” mode, push and
hold the “ESC Off” button for five seconds while the
vehicle is stopped with the engine running. After five
seconds, the ESC Off indicator light will illuminate and an
“ESC Off” message will appear in the odometer.
In this mode, ESC and TCS are turned off (except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS section) until
the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At speeds
over 40 mph (64 km/h), the system automatically switches
to “Partial Off” mode, described above. When the vehicle
speed returns to less than 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC
system will return to “Full Off” mode. The ESC OFF
indicator light is always illuminated when ESC is off. To
turn ESC on again, momentarily push the “ESC Off”
button. This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode of
operation.NOTE:
With the ESC switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In an emergency
evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not engage to assist
in maintaining stability. “Full Off” mode is only intended
for off-highway or off-road use.
NOTE:
• “Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESC in 4WD
LOW range. The ESC system will be in this mode
whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD LOW range or
the power transfer unit is shifted into 4WD LOW range.
• The “ESC OFF” message will display and a chime will
sound when the gear selector is moved from any posi-
tion to the PARK position and then moved out of the
PARK position. This will occur even if the message was
cleared previously.
Selec-Terrain — If Equipped
On models equipped with Selec-Terrain, the activation of
some driving modes provide partial off or full off of some
active safety systems in order to optimize performance in
specific modes.
Partial or full off of the active safety systems will be
indicated by a light in the instrument cluster.

3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engine turnsOFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-
mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest
possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has diagnos-
tic equipment to determine if the problem could recur. If
the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer service
is required.
Ignition Park Interlock
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go:
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park Interlock,
which requires the transmission to be in PARK before the
ignition can be turned to the OFF mode. Also, the trans-
mission is locked in PARK whenever the ignition is in the
OFF mode.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift
Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the transmission gear
selector in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must be in the RUN
mode (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must be
pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed before pushing the
button on the gear selector to shift from NEUTRAL into
DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or mov-
ing at low speeds.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in
tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light
efforts while parking and good feel while driving. If the
electric steering system experiences a fault that reduces
assist or prevents the vehicle from providing assist, you
will still have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.

WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING OR
POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF - SERVICE
SYSTEM” message and a steering wheel icon are
displayed on the instrument cluster screen, it
indicates that the vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer for
service. It is likely the vehicle has lost power steering
assistance. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Get-
ting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
NOTE:
• Even if the power steering assistance is no longer
operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under
these conditions there will be a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at low speeds and during
parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for
service.
SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Speed Control takes over accelerator
operations at speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of
the steering wheel.

Forward Collision
Warning-Plus (FCW+) — If Equipped Near
Medium Far
NOTE: The Front Collision Warning (FCW+) feature can be set to Far, or set to Near. The default status of FCW+ is
the Far setting. This means the system will warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you
are farther away. This gives you the most reaction time. To change the setting for a more dynamic driving experience,
select the Near setting. This warns you of a possible collision when you are much closer to the vehicle in front of
you.
Forward Collision
Warning-Plus (FCW+) Ac- tive Braking — IfEquipped Off
Only Warning Warning + Active Braking
NOTE: The FCW+ system includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). When this feature is selected, it will apply the
brakes to slow your vehicle in case of potential forward collision. The ABA applies additional brake pressure when
the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision. The ABA system becomes active at
5 mph (8 km/h).
ParkSense — If Equipped Sound Only Sounds And Display
NOTE: The ParkSense system will scan for objects behind the vehicle when the transmission gear selector is in RE-
VERSE and the vehicle speed is less than 11 mph (18 km/h). It will provide an alert (audible and/or visual) to indi-
cate the proximity to other objects. The system can be enabled with Sound Only, or Sound and Display.
