SLIPPERY - RAPTOR
For less than ideal road
conditions such as snow or ice
covered roads. Use this mode for
crossing terrain where loose or slippery
materials cover a firm surface. Slippery
mode lowers throttle response and
optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
Four-wheel drive auto is the default
four-wheel drive mode. Two-wheel drive
high is not available in slippery mode.
Normal is the default steering, suspension,
and exhaust modes. Off-road steering
mode is not available. All suspension and
exhaust modes are available.
The system tunes the engine and
transmission controls to slippery mode.
The system tunes stability and traction
controls to slippery mode.
The electronic locking differential is
available below 25 mph (40 km/h). See
Switching the Electronic Locking
Differential On and Off
(page 303).
Note: Do not use this mode when driving
on dry pavement. This could cause driveline
bind up and damage the system depending
on the four-wheel drive mode selection.

TOW/HAUL - RAPTOR For improved transmission
operation when towing a trailer
or a heavy load. This mode
moves upshifts to higher engine speeds to

shifting. This mode also provides engine
braking in all forward gears, which slows
your vehicle and assists you in controlling
your vehicle when descending a slope. The
amount of downshift braking provided
varies based on the amount you press the
brake pedal.

when in tow/haul mode. This mode does
not default to a certain four-wheel drive
mode and maintains the previous
selection.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel,
or aids the driver by providing a small
steering input to move the vehicle back
into the travel lane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•
Alert (If Equipped)
• Aid
• Alert + Aid
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death. WARNING: The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us. WARNING:
Large contrasts in
outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
The lane keeping system only operates
when the vehicle speed is greater than
40 mph (64 km/h)
.
The system works when the camera can
detect at least one lane marking.
Note: When you select Aid or Alert and Aid
mode and the system detects no steering
activity for a short period of time, the system
alerts you to put your hands on the steering
wheel. The system may detect a light grip
or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.

LOCATING THE BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
SENSORS The sensors are inside the brake lamp on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Bike and cargo racks could cause
false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.
Note: Blocked sensors may affect system
accuracy. If the sensors become blocked, a message
appears in the instrument cluster display.
