FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE – WARNING
LAMPS Illuminates when a four-wheel
drive or power train fault is
present.
Note:
When a system fault is present, the
system can typically remain in whichever
mode was selected prior to the fault
condition occurring. It does not default to
two-wheel drive in all circumstances. When
this warning is displayed, have your vehicle
serviced by an authorized dealer.

Action
Message
Displays when you attempt to switch from four-wheel drive low modeand your vehicle's speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
To Exit 4x4 LOW Slow to 3 MPH
To Exit 4x4 LOW Slow to 5 km/h Displays when there is a transfer case gear tooth blockage while
shifting to or from four-wheel drive low mode or to the neutral state. Place the transmission in a forward gear, move your vehicle forward approximately
5 ft (1.5 m), and shift the transmission back to neutral
(N) to allow the transfer case to complete the range shift.
Shift Delayed Drive Forward
Displays when the four-wheel system detects elevated system
temperature and temporarily stops providing power to the front
wheels. The system automatically resumes normal function when the system temperature returns to normal.
4x4 Temporarily Disabled
Displays when the four-wheel drive system resumes normal function.
4x4 Restored
Displays when the four-wheel drive system detects driving condition
which temporarily require greater four-wheel drive performance. Thesystem automatically resumes normal function after the system no longer detects these driving conditions.
4X4 Temporarily Locked
Displays when the system requires an additional transmission shift toneutral (N) to complete a transfer case shift.

REVERSE BRAKING ASSIST –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is reverse braking assist unavailable?
•
Make sure the reverse braking assist is
on. See Switching Reverse Braking
Assist On and Off (page 240).
• Make sure that all doors and the liftgate
or tailgate are closed. Drive the vehicle
on a straight road for a short period. If
the message remains, contact an
authorized dealer.
• Make sure the cross traffic alert system
is on if equipped.
See Switching Cross
Traffic Alert On and Off (page 317).
• Make sure the rear parking aid system is
on.
See Rear Parking Aid (page 256).
• Make sure the traction control is on. See
Switching Traction Control On and Off
(page
246).
Note: The traction control automatically turns
off if four-wheel drive low and certain drive
modes such as mud/ruts and snow/sand is
activated. •
The vehicle may have sustained a rear
end impact. Contact an authorized dealer
to have the sensors checked for proper
coverage and operation.
• An anti-lock brake, traction control or
stability control event may have occurred.
Reverse braking assist resumes
operation when the event is complete.
• Make sure the rear view camera and 360
degree camera are not dirty or
obstructed. If dirty, clean the camera. If
the message still appears after cleaning
the camera, wait a short time for the
message to clear. If the message does
not clear, contact an authorized dealer.
• Make sure the cross traffic alert and rear
parking aid sensors are not blocked or
faulty.
See Locating the Cross Traffic
Alert Sensors (page 317). See Locating
the Rear Parking Aid Sensors (page 256).
• You recently had your vehicle serviced,
or the battery disconnected. Drive your
vehicle a short distance to resume
system operation. •
Reverse braking assist does not function
when you connect a trailer. Operation
resumes when you disconnect the trailer.
Note: If the answers to why the system is
unavailable do not assist in returning reverse
braking assist to available, have the system
checked as soon as possible.

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
Drive mode control adjusts your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.
Changing the drive mode adjusts the
steering effort and feel of the steering
system.
The stability and traction control assist your
vehicle control in adverse conditions or
high-performance driving.
Throttle control enhances the powertrain
response, transmission controls become
optimized with shift schedules, and
four-wheel drive settings are optimized and
tuned to each mode.
Changing the drive mode can engage or
disengage the electronic locking differentials.
Changing the drive mode changes the
four-wheel drive mode to the default setting
for the selected drive mode.
Note:
The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, the drive mode system defaults
to normal. When the system defaults to
normal, the driveline settings remain the
same as prior to the system fault. Note:
The system reverts to the normal
mode each time you start your vehicle. At
startup the system also displays a prompt
on the instrument cluster display that gives
you the option to return to the previously
selected drive mode during the last ignition
cycle. If you select yes, the system returns
to the last selected drive mode and the
default driveline settings associated with
that mode. If you select no, the system
remains in normal mode and the driveline
settings remain the same as selected in the
prior ignition cycle. If you do not select yes
or no, the system stays in normal mode and
the driveline settings remain the same as
selected in the prior ignition cycle.

fuel efficiency and increases driving range.
Two-wheel drive high is the default
four-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive low
is not available in conserve mode.
The electronic locking differential is available
below 25 mph (40 km/h). See What Is the
Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (page
231).
CONSERVE - 4X2
For efficient driving. It helps deliver maximum
fuel efficiency and increases driving range.
