— Towing Hook Breakdown Warning
Light — If Equipped
This light illuminates when there is a failure
with the tow hook. Contact an authorized
dealer for service.
Yellow Indicator Lights
— 4WD Low Indicator Light —
If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide in-
creased torque at the wheels.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information on four-wheel drive op-
eration and proper use.
— 4WD Lock Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOCK mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together, forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion on four-wheel drive operation and proper
use.
— Active Speed Limiter Fault
Indicator Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal
when there is a fault detected with the Active
Speed Limiter.
— Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Cleaning In Progress Indicator Light —
Diesel Versions With DPF Only (If Equipped)
This indicator light will illuminate, or a mes-
sage will appear, to indicate that the DPF
system needs to eliminate the trapped pollut-
ants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.The light/message does not switch on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when driv-
ing conditions require that the driver is noti-
fied. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle
in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 min-
utes.
Optimal conditions for completing the pro-
cess are achieved by travelling at 37 mph
(60 km/h) with engine speed above
2000 rpm.
When this light/message switches on, it does
not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it
should not be taken to a workshop.
NOTE:
On some versions, together with the symbol
switching on, the display shows a dedicated
message.CAUTION!
Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather condi-
tions, and must always comply with traffic
regulations.

SAFETY FEATURES
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides
increased vehicle stability and brake perfor-
mance under most braking conditions. The
system automatically prevents wheel lock,
and enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to en-
sure that the ABS is working properly each
time the vehicle is started and driven. During
this self-check, you may hear a slight clicking
sound as well as some related motor noises.
ABS is activated during braking when the
system detects one or more wheels begin to
lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow,
gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris,
or panic stops may increase the likelihood of
ABS activation(s).
You also may experience the following when
ABS activates:
• The ABS motor noise (it may continue to
run for a short time after the stop).
• The clicking sound of solenoid valves.• Brake pedal pulsations.
• A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end
of the stop.
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
WARNING!
• The ABS contains sophisticated elec-
tronic equipment that may be suscep-
tible to interference caused by improp-
erly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interfer-
ence can cause possible loss of anti-lock
braking capability. Installation of such
equipment should be performed by
qualified professionals.
• Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may
lead to a collision. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
• The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle,
nor can it increase braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by the
WARNING!
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires
or the traction afforded.
• The ABS cannot prevent collisions, in-
cluding those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
• The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety
of others.
ABS is designed to function with the OEM
tires. Modification may result in degraded
ABS performance.
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The yellow “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
will turn on when the ignition is turned to the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long as
four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” re-
mains on or comes on while driving, it indi-
cates that the anti-lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and that service is

WARNING!
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities
of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner, which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.
Brake System Warning Light
The red “Brake System Warning Light” will
turn on when the ignition is turned to the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long as
four seconds.
If the “Brake System Warning Light” remains
on or comes on while driving, it indicates that
the brake system is not functioning properly
and that immediate service is required. If the
“Brake System Warning Light” does not
come on when the ignition is turned to the
ON/RUN mode, have the light repaired as
soon as possible.
Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)
Dynamic Steering Torque is a feature of the
ESC and Electric Power Steering (EPS) mod-
ules that provides torque at the steering
wheel for certain driving conditions in which
the ESC module is detecting vehicle instabil-
ity. The torque that the steering wheel re-
ceives is only meant to help the driver realize
optimal steering behavior in order to reach/
maintain vehicle stability. The only notifica-
tion the driver receives that the feature is
active is the torque applied to the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
The DST feature is only meant to help the
driver realize the correct course of action
through small torques on the steering wheel,
which means the effectiveness of the DST
feature is highly dependent on the driver’s
sensitivity and overall reaction to the applied
torque. It is very important to realize that this
feature will not steer the vehicle, meaning the
driver is still responsible for steering the
vehicle.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
This function manages the distribution of the
braking torque between the front and rear
axles by limiting braking pressure to the rear
axle. This is done to prevent overslip of the
rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability, and to
prevent the rear axle from entering ABS be-
fore the front axle.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
This system anticipates the potential for
wheel lift by monitoring the driver’s steering
wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
When ERM determines that the rate of
change of the steering wheel angle and vehi-
cle’s speed are sufficient to potentially cause
wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate
brake and may also reduce engine power to
lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur.
ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift
occurring during severe or evasive driving
maneuvers; it cannot prevent wheel lift due to
other factors, such as road conditions, leav-
ing the roadway, or striking objects or other
vehicles.

WARNING!
• When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS
functionality of ESC, (except for the lim-
ited slip feature described in the TCS
section), has been disabled and the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illumi-
nated. When in “Partial Off” mode, the
engine power reduction feature of TCS is
disabled, and the enhanced vehicle sta-
bility offered by the ESC system is re-
duced.
• Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the “Partial
Off” mode.
Full Off (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only)
This mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use when ESC stability features
could inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to
trail conditions. This mode is entered by
pushing and holding the “ESC Off” switch for
five seconds when the vehicle is stopped and
the engine is running. After five seconds, the
"ESC OFF Indicator Light" will illuminate and
the “ESC OFF” message will appear in the
instrument cluster display.In this mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS
section, are turned off until the vehicle
reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At
40 mph (64 km/h), the system returns to
“Partial Off” mode, as described above. TCS
remains off. When the vehicle speed drops
below 30 mph (48 km/h), the ESC system
shuts off. ESC is deactivated at low vehicle
speeds so that it will not interfere with off-
road driving however, ESC function returns to
provide the stability feature at speeds above
40 mph (64 km/h). The "ESC OFF Indicator
Light" will always be illuminated when ESC is
off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the
“ESC Off” switch. This will restore the “ESC
On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the gear se-
lector is placed into the PARK position from
any other position, and then moved out of the
PARK position. This will occur even if the
message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
In the "Full Off" mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are disabled.
In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESC
system will not engage to assist in maintain-
ing stability. “ESC Off” mode is intended for
off-highway or off-road use only.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the
ignition is turned to the ON mode.
It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and
the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
SAFETY
84

CAUTION!
your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. The
TPM sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute
to a poor overall system performance or
sensor damage. Customers are encour-
aged to use OEM wheels to assure
proper TPM feature operation.
• Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-
able. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to
have your sensor function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the TPMS sensor.NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace nor-
mal tire care and maintenance, or to pro-
vide warning of a tire failure or condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire
pressure gauge while adjusting your tire
pressure.
• Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s respon-
sibility to maintain correct tire pressure
using an accurate tire pressure gauge, even
if underinflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS Warning
Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor
the actual tire pressure in the tire.
• The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
messages, which will display in the instru-
ment cluster display.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and a chime will
sound when tire pressure is low in one or
more of the four active road tires. In addition,
the instrument cluster will display a "Tire
Low" message and a graphic showing the
pressure values of each tire with the low tire
pressure values highlighted or in a different
color.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres-
sure (those highlighted or in a different color
in the instrument cluster display graphic) to
the vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressures, the system will auto-
matically update, the pressure values in the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will
stop being highlighted or return to their origi-
nal color, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will turn off.NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold plac-
ard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light off. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message for a minimum of five seconds
and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will no longer flash, and the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message will no longer dis-play, and a pressure value will display in
place of the dashes. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
• Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
• Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching
full size does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the com-
pact or non-matching full size spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-
matching full size spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, the Tire Pressure Moni-
SAFETY
96

toring System Warning Light will remain
on and a chime will sound. In addition,
the graphic in the instrument cluster will
still display a different color or high-
lighted pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 min-
utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid. In addition, the
instrument cluster will display a “SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM” message for five sec-
onds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System Warning Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid, and the instrument cluster will dis-
play a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
for five seconds and then display dashes (-
-) in place of the pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare, the TPMS will
update automatically. In addition, the TirePressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will turn off and the graphic in the
instrument cluster will display a new pres-
sure value instead of dashes (- -), as long
as no tire pressure is below the low-
pressure warning limit in any of the four
active road tires. The vehicle may need to
be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS
to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS Sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires not equipped with Tire Pressure Moni-
toring (TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on. Theinstrument cluster will display the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the
TPMS will no longer chime or display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain
in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive
the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then turn off. The instrument cluster will
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” mes-
sage and then display pressure values in
place of the dashes. On the next ignition
cycle the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
will no longer be displayed as long as no
system fault exists.
