LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (IF
EQUIPPED)
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD)system directs torque, enabling the vehicleto drive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional axle cannot. The system isactive at all times and requires no input fromthe driver.
Note:If your vehicle is not at optimaloperating conditions or a system fault ispresent, a warning may be displayed in theinstrument cluster. Depending on thewarning, your vehicle may need to beserviced. For more information regarding thesystem information messages, SeeInformation Messages (page 124).
Locking Function (If Equipped)
The lock button engages ‘lockermode’.
With the locker engaged, the systemelectronically locks the differential causingboth half shafts to turn at the same rate. Thisincreases traction during off road events.
The locker mode may automaticallydisengage based on certain conditions suchas vehicle speed. When engaged, a telltalein the instrument cluster will illuminate amberand the switch button will be illuminated.When the speed is exceeded the telltale willturn gray, the locker will be disengaged andbe in standby mode until the speedconditions are met. If the eLSD system isfaulted and the locker cannot engage, awarning message will be displayed in theinstrument cluster and the switch button willflash.
Spare Tire
If your vehicle is equipped with an ElectronicLimited Slip Differential, a spare tire of adifferent size than the tire provided, shouldnot be used. If a spare tire is installed, amessage may appear, indicating the systemhas disabled automatically or reducedfunction to prevent system overheat anddamage. It is recommended to reinstall therepaired or replaced road tire as soon aspossible. When the road tire is replaced, thesystem will resume normal operation on thenext key cycle.
Trailer Towing
The Electronic Limited Slip Differentialenhances vehicle stability during trailer towoperation. During high demand traileringevents (such as steep grades, high speedsor with a spare tire), the system may providea warning in the instrument cluster andreduce function or enter a temporarilydisabled state. To resume normal function,stop the vehicle in a safe location and allowthe unit to adequately cool. Once the systemhas reached normal operating temperatures,system function will be restored and theElectronic Limited Slip Differential Restoredmessage will be displayed.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid drivewheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheels and,when needed, reduces engine power at thesame time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces engine power in orderto increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING: The stability and tractioncontrol light illuminates steadily if thesystem detects a failure. Make sure youdid not manually disable the tractioncontrol system using the informationdisplay controls or the switch. If the stabilitycontrol and traction control light is still
illuminating steadily, have the systemserviced by an authorized dealerimmediately. Operating your vehicle withthe traction control disabled could lead toan increased risk of loss of vehicle control,vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The system automatically turns on each timeyou switch the ignition on.
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.
Switching the System On and Off
You can switch traction control on and offthrough the information display controls. SeeGeneral Information (page 119).
When you switch the system off, a messageand an illuminated icon appear on theinstrument cluster.
Switch traction control on again to return thesystem to normal operations.
Note:Your vehicle may have MyKeyrestrictions regarding this feature. SeePrinciple of Operation (page 68).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: To help avoid personalinjury, always use caution when in reverse(R) and when using the sensing system.
WARNING: The system may notdetect objects with surfaces that absorbreflection. Always drive with due care andattention. Failure to take care may resultin a crash.
WARNING: Traffic control systems,inclement weather, air brakes, externalmotors and fans may affect the correctoperation of the sensing system.This maycause reduced performance or false alerts.
WARNING: The system may notdetect small or moving objects, particularlythose close to the ground.
Note:Certain add-on devices installedaround the bumper or fascia may createfalse beeps. For example, large trailerhitches, bike or surfboard racks, license platebrackets, bumper covers or any other devicethat may block the normal detection zoneof the system.
Note:Keep the sensors, located on thebumper or fascia, free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors with sharpobjects.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damage to thebumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned orbent, the sensing zone may be alteredcausing inaccurate measurement ofobstacles or false alarms. See yourauthorized technician.
Note:When a trailer is connected to yourvehicle, the rear parking aid may detect thetrailer and therefore provide warnings.Disable the rear parking aid when a traileris connected to prevent these warnings.
Note:The sensing system cannot be turnedoff when a MyKey is present. See Principleof Operation (page 68).
We recommend that you take some time toget to know the system and its limitations byreading this section.
The sensing system warns the driver ofobstacles within a certain range of yourvehicle. The system automatically turns oneach time you switch the ignition on.

Use the supplied measurement card, a tapemeasure and pen to carefully mark the areawhere to attach the sticker (supplied in theback cover pocket of your quick start guide).Make sure the whole sticker is within thezone between the two arcs or distancemarkers on the diagram, and is also visiblein the rear view camera display.
Step 4: Take Measurements
After you correctly place the sticker on thetrailer, you must take some keymeasurements.
Note:You must take accuratemeasurements for the system to operateproperly.
Note:When rounding in inches, roundupward if the measured length is a quarterinch or greater. Round downward if themeasured length is less than a quarter inch.For example 12.25 in (31.11 cm) would berounded up to 12.50 in (31.75 cm). 12.13 in(30.8 cm) would be rounded down to 12.00 in(30.48 cm).
Note:When rounding in centimeters, roundto the nearest whole centimeter. If themeasurement is less than 0.2 in (0.5 cm)round downward. If the measurement ismore than or equal to 0.2 in (0.5 cm) roundupward. For example, 11.9 in (30.3 cm) wouldbe rounded down to 11.8 in (30 cm). 12.0 in(30.5 cm) would be rounded up to 12.2 in(31 cm).
Note:Use consistent metric or imperial unitsas required by your country or vehicle.
Record the four key distances (A, B, C, D) asrequired by the measurement card. Recordthe trailer name for these measurements.Distance A
The horizontal distance from the bumper tothe center of the ball hitch on the trailer.
Distance B
The horizontal distance from the center ofthe ball hitch to the center of the sticker.
Distance C
The distance from the rear view camera tothe center of the sticker.
