HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE WORK - EXCLUDING:
RAPTOR
Using the Electronic Shift On theFly System (If Equipped)
This four-wheel drive system utilizes a2-speed Electronic Shift On the Fly (ESOF)transfer case which is also known as apart-time system. This system offers thedriver two-wheel drive high, four-wheeldrive high, and four-wheel drive low asavailable modes of operation. When eitherfour-wheel drive high or four-wheel drivelow are selected, the system providesmechanically locked four-wheel drivepower to both the front and rear wheelsfor use in off-road or slippery conditionssuch as deep snow, sand or mud. Selectingfour-wheel drive low also providesadditional gearing for increased torquemultiplication for conditions like deepsand, steep slopes, or pulling heavyobjects. Additionally, the system is capableof recreational flat towing by putting thetransfer case into neutral (N). SeeRecreationally Towing Your Vehicle(page 485).
There is further information on driving inunique driving conditions. See Off-RoadDriving (page 466).
Using the 2-Speed AutomaticFour-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drivesystem utilizes an electronically controlledon-demand 2-speed transfer case. Thissystem monitors various vehicle sensoryinputs to provide an increased level ofperformance. This system offers the drivertwo-wheel drive high, four-wheel driveauto, four-wheel drive high, and four-wheeldrive low as available modes of operation.When four-wheel drive auto is selected,the system continuously varies power to
the front wheels for optimum performancefor all on-road conditions. When eitherfour-wheel drive high or four-wheel drivelow are selected, the system provideselectronically or mechanically lockedpower to the front and rear wheels for usein off-road or slippery conditions such asdeep snow, sand or mud.

•Additional noise from the transfer caseor other drive components.
•Difficulty shifting out of a mechanicallylocked four-wheel drive mode.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tireassembly can lead to impairment of thefollowing:
•Comfort and noise.
•Winter weather driving capability.
•Wet driving capability.
•Four-wheel drive capability.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On four-wheel drive vehicles with amechanically locked four-wheel drive highmode, the transfer case distributes torqueto the front wheels by mechanicallyinterlocking the front and rear driveshaftstogether. Various external factors canaffect shifting performance of this type ofsystem including, but not limited to:
•Vehicle acceleration.
•Dissimilar tire sizes.
•Steering input.
If the system detects a mechanical shiftblockage at speed after you selecttwo-wheel drive high, the message "4x4Unable to Disengage See Manual", coulddisplay momentarily. If this messagedisplays, one or more of the followingactions can relieve the mechanical shiftblock:
•Momentary acceleration.
•Momentary braking.
•Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
•Shifting the transmission to neutral andback to drive.
•Shifting the transmission to reverseand back to drive.
•Driving the vehicle around a tight turnat a slow speed.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRIC
PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake is used to holdyour vehicle on slopes and flat roads.
APPLYING THE ELECTRIC
PARKING BRAKE
WARNING: Apply the parkingbrake, shift into park (P), switch theignition off and remove the key beforeyou leave your vehicle. Failure to followthis instruction could result in personalinjury or death.
WARNING: If you drive extendeddistances with the parking brake applied,you could cause damage to the brakesystem.
WARNING: The electric parkingbrake does not operate if the vehiclebattery has run out of charge.
The switch is on the lower partof the instrument panel.
Pull the switch up to apply the electricparking brake. The red warning lampflashes, then steadily illuminates when theparking brake is applied.
Note:You can apply the electric parkingbrake when the ignition is off.
Note:The electric parking brake couldautomatically apply when park (P) isselected. See Park (P) (page 264).
APPLYING THE ELECTRIC
PARKING BRAKE IN AN
EMERGENCY

Side Wind Stabilization
Side wind stabilization is an advancedfeature that works by carefully applyingthe brakes on one side of the vehicle toreduce the effect of a side wind gust onthe vehicle's path.
Torque Vectoring by Brakes
Torque vectoring control applies braketorque on the inner driven wheel in a curvefor better traction to avoid an understeer,or oversteer situation. Unlike electronicstability control, enhanced torquevectoring control does not slow thevehicle. It helps control excessive wheelslip and gives the vehicle improvedcornering agility.
Traction Control
Traction control enhances your vehicle’sability to maintain traction of the wheelsby detecting and controlling wheel spin.See What Is Traction Control (page 307).

SWITCHING STABILITY
CONTROL ON AND OFF
Stability Control turns on each time youswitch the ignition on.
You can switch the stability control off bypressing and holding the stability andtraction control button off for 5-15seconds, or you can press the button againto switch the system on.
Shifting the transmission into reverse (R)will disable the system.
You can switch the traction control systemoff or on independently. See SwitchingTraction Control On and Off (page 307).

Lane Centering may not correctly operatein any of the following conditions:
•The lane is too narrow or wide.
•The system does not detect at leastone lane marking or when lanes mergeor split.
•Limited steering torque input is applied.
•Areas under construction or newinfrastructure.
•When modifications to the steeringsystem have been made.
•When using a spare tire.
•In high wind conditions.
Note:The driving assistance torque islimited and may not be sufficient for alldriving situations such as driving throughtight curves or driving through curves at highspeeds.
Note:In exceptional conditions, such asinclement weather or direct sunlight, thesystem could deviate from the center lineor could cancel.
SWITCHING LANE CENTERING ONAND OFF
Keep your hands on the steering wheel atall times.
The controls are on the steering wheel.
Press the button.
The indicator appears in the instrumentcluster display. When the system is on, thecolor of the indicator changes to indicatethe system status.
You can override the system at any timeby steering your vehicle.
Note:The correct requirements must bemet before you can switch the system on.See Lane Centering Requirements (page349).
Enabling and Disabling LaneCentering
1.Press Features on the touchscreen.
2.Press Driver Assistance.
3.Press Cruise Control.
4.Press Lane Centering Assist.
LANE CENTERING ALERTS
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects nosteering activity for a period of time, thesystem alerts you to put your hands on thesteering wheel. If you do not react to thewarnings the system cancels and slowsyour vehicle down to idle speeds whilemaintaining steering control. See LaneCentering Automatic Cancellation(page 350).
The system also alerts you if your vehiclecrosses lane markings without detectedsteering activity.
Note:The system could detect a light gripor touch on the steering wheel as hands-offdriving.
LANE CENTERING AUTOMATICCANCELLATION
When an external condition cancels thesystem, for example, no lane line markingsavailable, a tone sounds and a messageappears in the instrument cluster display.
If your vehicle starts to slowdown after system cancellation,you must take full control of thevehicle. To re-enable adaptive cruisecontrol with lane centering aftercancellation, press and release the resumebutton.
