GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 75
Towing Hook Breakdown Warning Light —
If Equipped
This light illuminates when there is a
failure with the tow hook. Contact an
a ut
h or
i
zed dealer for service.
Transmission Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that the transmission
fluid temperature is running hot. This
may occ
ur with severe usage, such as
trailer towing. If this light turns on, safely
pull over and stop the vehicle. Then, shift the
transmission into PARK and run the engine at idle
or slightly higher until the light turns off.
4WD Over Temperature Warning Light
The icon will appear on the instrument
panel display to indicate overheating of
t h e
4
W
D system. The mode selected by
the user will be applied as soon as the
system exits the overheating condition.
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD Low Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the 4WD Low mode. The front and
rear d
riveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed. Low range provides a greater gear reduction ratio to provide
increased torque at the wheels
Ú page 90.
4WD Lock Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the four-wheel drive LOCK mode.
The f r
ont and rear driveshafts are
mechanically locked together, forcing the
front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed
Ú page 90.
Dusk Sensor Malfunction Indicator Light
This symbol lights up (together with a
dedicated message on display) when a
dusk s
ensor malfunction is detected
Ú page 38.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Active
Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will indicate when the
ESC system is Active. The ESC Indicator
Light
in the instrument cluster will come
on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position, and when ESC is
activated. It should go out with the engine running.
If the ESC Indicator Light comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this warning light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the
vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers)
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable sys -
tem operation or sensor damage may result
w hen u

sing replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using after -
market tire sealants may cause the Tire Pres -
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to
b ecome

inoperable. After using an aftermarket
tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light is
illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil over,
come in contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission damage
or transmission failure.

90 STARTING AND OPERATING
TRANSMISSION LIMP HOME MODE
Transmission function is electronically monitored
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this
mode, the transmission may operate only in a fixed
gear, or may remain in neutral. The Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be driven to
an authorized dealer for service without damaging
the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
trans m

ission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. S hif

t the transmission into PARK, if possible. If
n ot
,
s

hift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engin
e turns off.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Res
tart the engine.
6. S hif

t into the desired gear range. If the
p r
ob l
e

m is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recomm e
nd that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. An authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could recur. If the transmission
cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is
required.
IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK
(K
EYLESS VEHICLE)
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park
Interlock, which requires the transmission to be in
PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF
position. Also, the transmission is locked in PARK
whenever the ignition is in the OFF position.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT
I
NTERLOCK (BTSI) SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI that holds the
transmission gear selector in PARK unless the
brakes are applied. To shift the transmission out of
PARK, the ignition must be in the RUN position
(engine running or not) and the brake pedal must
be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed before
pushi n

g the button on the gear selector to shift
from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the
vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Active Drive (4WD) And Active Drive Low (4WD
LOW)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Power
Transf
er Unit (PTU). This system is automatic with
no driver inputs or additional driving skills
required. Under normal driving conditions, the
front wheels provide most of the traction. If the
front wheels begin to lose traction, power is shifted
automatically to the rear wheels. The greater the
front wheel traction loss, the greater the power
transfer to the rear wheels.
Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy throttle
input

(where one may have no wheel spin), torque
will be sent to the rear in a preemptive effort to
improve vehicle launch and performance
characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and type
tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be used.
Unequal tire size may cause failure of the power
transfer unit.

STARTING AND OPERATING 91
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
The four-wheel drive (4WD) is fully automatic in
normal driving mode.
NOTE:
It is not possible to carry out the change of mode
when t
he vehicle exceeds the speed of 75 mph

92 STARTING AND OPERATING
SELEC-TERRAIN
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the
vehicle control systems, along with driver input, to
provide the best performance for all terrains.
MODE SELECTION GUIDE
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the desired
mode.

Selec-Terrain Switch Selec-Terrain Switch (Trailhawk)

AUTO
: This four-wheel drive operation is a
continuous operation, is fully automatic and can
be used on and off-road. This mode balances
traction to ensure maneuverability and acceler -
ation improvement compared to a vehicle with
t wo-whe

el drive. This mode also reduces fuel
consumption, since it allows the disconnect of
the drive shaft where conditions permit.
SNOW : This mode allows you to have greater
stability under conditions of bad weather. It's
used on and off-road and on surfaces with poor
traction, such as roads covered with snow.
When in SNOW mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission will use
SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage, except
for in 4WD LOW (Trailhawk models only).
SAND : For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as sandy bottoms. The
transmission is set to provide maximum trac -
tion. This mode allows more wheel spin and
highe r

shift points to help motor through loose
areas.
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 avail -
able in 4WD LOW. The device sets the vehicle to
m ax
im
i
ze 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 vehicles
equipped with the Trailhawk package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control or Selec-Speed
Control for steep downhill control Ú page 222.

Towing Requirements — Tires
Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tire.
Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle
Ú page 329.
Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation
pressures before trailer usage.
Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire
damage before towing a trailer Ú page 329.
For the proper tire replacement procedures
Ú page 329. Replacing tires with a higher load
carrying capacity will not increase the vehicle's
G VWR a

nd GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes
Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system
or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of
the trailer. This could cause inadequate braking
and possible personal injury.
An electronically actuated trailer brake
controller is required when towing a trailer with
electronically actuated brakes. When towing a
trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake controller is
not required.
Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers
over 1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for trailers
in excess of 2,000 lb (907 kg).
When hauling cargo, or towing a trailer, do not
overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading
can cause a loss of control, poor performance,
or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmis -
sion, steering, suspension, chassis structure,
or tire
s.
Safety chains must always be used between
your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the
chains to the frame or hook retainers of the
vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the
trailer tongue and allow enough slack for
turning corners.
Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on
a grade. When parking, apply the parking
brake on the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle
transmission in PARK. Always block or "chock"
the trailer wheels.
GCWR must not be exceeded.
Total weight must be distributed between the
tow vehicle and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not exceeded:
GVWR
GTW
WARNING!
GAWR
Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch
utilized.
CAUTION!
Do not tow a trailer at all during the first
500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven.
The e n
gine, axle or other parts could be
damaged.
Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that
a trai
ler is towed, do not drive over 50 mph
( 8
0 k
m /
h) and do not make starts at full
thrott l
e. This helps the engine and other parts
of the vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's
hydraulic brake lines. It can overload your
brake system and cause it to fail. You might
not have brakes when you need them and
could have a collision.
