ACTIVE PARK ASSIST –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does active park assist not
operate correctly? The system is unable to detect a
vehicle, curb or object to park next to
or in between. The system needs
boundary objects to operate correctly.
Why does active park assist not search
for a parking space? You have switched traction control off.
Why does active park assist not search
for a parking space? The transmission is in reverse (R). Your
vehicle must be moving forward to be
able to detect a parking space.
Why does active park assist not offer
a parking space? The sensors could be blocked. For
example, snow, ice or large
accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors
can affect how the system functions.
Why does active park assist not offer
a parking space? The sensors in the front or rear bumper
could be damaged.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK - RAPTOR
Selectable drive modes change various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. Steering feel
and effort, traction control, stability
control, chassis controls, powertrain
response, transmission shift points,
four-wheel driveline settings, exhaust noise
level and suspension dampening are
automatically altered to a pre-determined
setting depending upon the drive mode
that you select.
Note:
Your vehicle has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a drive mode is
unavailable due to a system fault, your
vehicle defaults to normal mode and the
driveline remains in the four-wheel drive
setting that you last selected prior to the
system fault. Note:
Your vehicle reverts to normal mode
each time you start it. If you shut your
vehicle off in a drive mode other than
normal mode, at startup the instrument
cluster screen displays a pop-up asking if
you would like to return to your last used
drive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,
your vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you select no, your vehicle remains in normal
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you do not select yes or no, the pop-up
message times out, your vehicle remains in
normal mode, and the four-wheel driveline
setting remains in its last used setting.
Note: Do not use the electronic locking
differential on dry, hard surfaces. Doing so
produces excessive noise, vibration and
increases tire wear. See Electronic Locking
Differential (page 301).

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