tions), the transmission may use SECOND
gear (rather than FIRST gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
SAND: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as dry
sand. The transmission is set to provide
maximum traction.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as roads
covered by mud or wet grass.
ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only
available in 4WD LOW range. The device
sets the vehicle to maximize traction and
allow the highest steering capacity for
off-road surfaces. This mode gives you the
maximum performance off-road. Use for
low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
Rock mode is only available on the vehi -
cles equipped with the Off-Road package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. See “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further
information.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a
vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal, clutch pedal
or pressing the accelerator pedal will auto -
matically re-start the engine.
Operating Modes
Engine Stopping Mode
Models equipped with a manual transmis -
sion:
With the vehicle stopped, the engine stops
with transmission in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
Models equipped with an automatic trans -
mission:
With vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the gear
selector is in a position other than REVERSE.
In the event of stops uphill, the engine
switching will be disabled to activate the
"Hill Start Assist" function (works only with
the engine running).
The warning light on the instrument panel
switches on to signal that the engine was
stopped.
WARNING!
Before opening the hood, make sure that
the engine is off and that the ignition is in
the OFF mode. Follow the indications on
the plate underneath the hood. We
recommend that you remove the key fob if
other people remain in the vehicle. The
vehicle should only be exited after the key
fob has been removed and the ignition is
in the OFF mode. During refueling, make
sure that the engine is off (ignition device
in the OFF mode).
CAUTION!
When replacing the battery, always contact
your authorized dealer. Replace the battery
with the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.

“SDW Not Available” — This message is
displayed if the Side Distance Warning
system is not available. The failed operation
of the system might be due to the insuffi-
cient voltage from the battery or other fail -
ures on the electrical system. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have
the electrical system checked.
Operation With A Trailer
The system is automatically deactivated
when the trailer's electric plug is inserted in
the vehicle's tow hook socket. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the perfor -
mance of the Side Distance Warning System:
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating
properly.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the perfor -
mance of ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the message
to appear in the instrument cluster display
will read “PARKSENSE OFF.” Further -
more, once you turn ParkSense off, it
remains off until you turn it on again, even
if you cycle the ignition key.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage them.
The sensors must not be covered with ice,
snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to
do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not
detect an obstacle behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper.
The presence of a tow hook without a
trailer may interfere with the correct oper -
ation of the parking sensors. Before using
the ParkSense system, it is recommended
to remove the removable tow hook ball
assembly and any attachments from the
vehicle when it is not used for towing oper -
ations. If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it is advis- able to contact an authorized dealer for
the ParkSense system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected
as an obstacle by the central sensors.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using ParkSense. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look
behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for
safety and must continue to pay atten
-
tion to your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly
recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from
the vehicle when the vehicle is not used
for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles
because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia
when the loudspeaker sounds the contin -
uous tone. Also, the sensors could detect
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly,
depending on its size and shape, giving
a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the vehicle.

the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other mate-
rial. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit
breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to
use proper fuses may result in serious
personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disen -
gaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
