LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
(IF EQUIPPED)
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential
(eLSD) system directs torque, enabling the
vehicle to drive over terrain and road
conditions that a conventional axle cannot.
The system is active at all times and
requires no input from the driver.
Note:
If your vehicle is not at optimal
operating conditions or a system fault is
present, a warning may be displayed in the
instrument cluster. Depending on the
warning, your vehicle may need to be
serviced. For more information regarding the
system information messages, See
Information Messages (page 123).
Locking Function
(If Equipped) The lock button engages
‘locker
mode ’.
With the locker engaged, the system
electronically locks the differential causing
both half shafts to turn at the same rate.
This increases traction during off road
events.
The locker mode may automatically
disengage based on certain conditions
such as vehicle speed. When engaged, a
telltale in the instrument cluster will
illuminate amber and the switch button
will be illuminated. When the speed is
exceeded the telltale will turn gray, the
locker will be disengaged and be in
standby mode until the speed conditions
are met. If the eLSD system is faulted and
the locker cannot engage, a warning
message will be displayed in the
instrument cluster and the switch button
will flash. Spare Tire
If your vehicle is equipped with an
Electronic Limited Slip Differential, a spare
tire of a different size than the tire
provided, should not be used. If a spare tire
is installed, a message may appear,
indicating the system has disabled
automatically or reduced function to
prevent system overheat and damage. It
is recommended to reinstall the repaired
or replaced road tire as soon as possible.
When the road tire is replaced, the system
will resume normal operation on the next
key cycle.
Trailer Towing
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential
enhances vehicle stability during trailer tow
operation. During high demand trailering
events (such as steep grades, high speeds
or with a spare tire), the system may
provide a warning in the instrument cluster
and reduce function or enter a temporarily
disabled state. To resume normal function,
stop the vehicle in a safe location and
allow the unit to adequately cool. Once
the system has reached normal operating
temperatures, system function will be
restored and the Electronic Limited Slip
Differential Restored message will be
displayed.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING: The stability and
traction control light illuminates steadily
if the system detects a failure. Make sure
you did not manually disable the traction
control system using the information
display controls or the switch. If the
stability control and traction control light
is still illuminating steadily, have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
the traction control disabled could lead
to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note: When you switch traction control off,
stability control remains fully active.
Switching the System Off When you switch the system off,
a message and an illuminated
icon appear on the instrument
cluster. Use the switch again to return the traction
control system to normal operation.
The switch for the stability and traction
control system is on the instrument panel.
Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions
regarding this feature. See
Principle of
Operation (page 64).
System Indicator Lights and
Messages The stability and traction control
light temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes:
• When a driving condition activates
either of the systems.
• If a problem occurs in either of the
systems. The stability and traction control
off light temporarily illuminates
on engine start-up and stays on:
• When you switch the traction control
system off.
• When you select an alternative stability
control mode.

WARNING: The system only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap distance. A
vehicle graphic illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.
Note: When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small
temporary acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap
from the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out
of the lane you are in.
• You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance
from the vehicle in front. The system only
applies limited braking. You can override
the system by applying the brakes.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds, a message appears in the
information display and an indicator
flashes when the system continues to
brake. Take immediate action. Following a Vehicle to a Complete
Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
complete stop and remains stationary for
less than three seconds, your vehicle
accelerates from a stationary position to
follow the vehicle ahead. If your vehicle follows a vehicle
to a complete stop and remains
stationary for more than three
seconds, press to follow the vehicle ahead.
Or press the accelerator pedal.
Setting the Gap Distance
You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front by pressing the gap control. Press and release to decrease
the gap distance.
Press and release to increase the
gap distance.
The selected gap appears in the
information display as shown by the bars
in the image.
Note:
The gap setting is time dependent
and therefore the distance adjusts with your
vehicle speed.
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.

Release the knob when the trailer is
moving in the direction you want. Control
the accelerator and brakes while the
system steers your vehicle automatically
to keep the trailer moving straight back.
Note:
You may have to use the knob to
correct the trailer direction when attempting
to move the trailer straight back under some
conditions.
Note: Your vehicle speed is automatically
limited.
Note: When you release the knob or turn it
to the center position, your vehicle follows
the trailer's path.
Troubleshooting
Note: The system requires a clear view of
the sticker placed on the trailer. You must
keep the camera lens and sticker clean for
the system to operate correctly.
Setup
The system is designed to be used with a
wide variety of trailers. However there are
some trailers that do not have a proper
surface and location to mount the sticker.
These trailers are not supported. Attempts
to place the sticker on a surface that does
not meet the sticker placement
requirement listed in Step 3 of the setup
instruction or entering inaccurate
measurements to proceed through setup
can result in improper system function. Accurate measurements are critical to
correct system function. If you need to
check measurements entered or change
them you can access them through the
trailer menus in the instrument cluster.
Choose the option to change the sticker
from the change trailer settings menu. It is
not necessary to remove the sticker if you
are just reviewing or changing
measurements.
The following menu warnings or difficulties
may occur during setup. Tips to resolve
them are listed below.
Note:
If you still experience issues with the
system's ability to detect the sticker, see
the information in the next section regarding
sticker lost during system operation.
Measurement A has reached maximum or
minimum value:
• The system is designed to work with
drawbars that have a bumper to hitch
ball center measurement of 4 in
(10 cm) to 11 in (28 cm) when installed.
Do not attempt to use drawbars that
have a length outside this range as the
system performance degrades and
could cause improper system function.
• Make sure that the measurement being
made is the horizontal distance only
from bumper and the hitch ball center.
A straight line distance that includes
any vertical rise or drop increases the
measurement and makes it inaccurate.
Inaccurate measurements degrade
system performance and could cause
improper system function. See step 4
of the setup instruction to review
measurement instructions.
