SAFETY FEATURES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake
performance under most braking conditions. The
system automatically prevents wheel lock and
enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that
the AB

S is working properly each time the vehicle
is started and driven. During this self-check, you
may hear a slight clicking sound as well as some
related motor noises.
The ABS is activated during braking when the
syste m

detects one or more wheels are beginning
to lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow, gravel,
bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops
may increase the likelihood of ABS activation(s).
You also may experience the following normal
chara c

teristics when the ABS activates:
ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may
continue to hear for a short time after the stop)
Brake pedal pulsations
A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the
stop ABS is designed to function with the Original
Equip
m

ent Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification
may result in degraded ABS performance.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
The yellow ABS Warning Light will turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode and may
stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS Warning Light remains on or comes on
while

driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion
of the brake system is not functioning and that
service is required. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally if
the ABS Warning Light is on.
WARNING!
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be susceptible to interfer -
ence caused by improperly installed or high
output
radio transmitting equipment. This
interference can cause possible loss of
anti-lock braking capability. Installation of
such equipment should be performed by qual -
ified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish
their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer.
Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase braking or steering efficiency beyond
that afforded by the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro -
planing.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.
WARNING!

224 SAFETY
ESC Operation Modes
To disable ESC and other safety systems, follow
the instructions below.
There are three modes of active safety systems
presen

t on the vehicle:
ESC On
Partial Off
Full Off
ESC On – Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles And
Four-W h

eel Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High
This is the normal operating mode for ESC when
operati
ng a two-wheel drive vehicle. It is also the
normal mode for operating a four-wheel drive
vehicle in 2WD or 4WD High. The ESC system will
be in “ESC On” mode whenever the vehicle is
started or the power transfer unit (if equipped) is
shifted out of 4WD Low. This mode should be used
for most driving situations. ESC should only be
turned to “Partial Off” or “Full Off” for specific
reasons as noted. Refer to “Partial Off” and to “Full
Off” for additional information.
NOTE:
It is recommended to select the mode "Partial Off"
or "Fu l
l Off" only for specific reasons.
Partial Off – Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles And
Four-Wh
eel Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for driving in
deep s
now, sand, or gravel. This mode raises the threshold for TCS and ESC activation, which allows
for more wheel spin than what ESC normally
allows.

ESC OFF Button

To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily push
the E S

C OFF button and the ESC OFF Indicator
Light will illuminate. To turn the ESC on again,
momentarily push the ESC OFF button and the ESC
OFF Indicator Light will turn off. This will restore the
normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with
snow c h
ains, or when starting off in deep snow,
sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the
“Partial Off” mode by momentarily pushing the ESC
OFF button. Once the situation requiring “Partial
Off” mode is overcome, turn ESC back on by
momentarily pushing the ESC OFF button. This may
be done while the vehicle is in motion. Full Off – Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles In 4WD High
And 4
W

D Low
The “Full Off” mode is intended for off-highway and
off-road
use when ESC stability features could
inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to trail
conditions. The ESC OFF button is located in the
lower switch bank above the climate control panel.
To enter “Full Off” mode, push and hold the ESC
OFF button for five seconds while the vehicle is
stopped with the engine running. After five
seconds, the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate
and an “ESC OFF” message will appear in the
odometer.

In this mode, ESC and TCS are turned off (except for
the “ l

imited slip” feature described in the TCS
section) until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph

WARNING!
When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS function -
ality of ESC, except for the limited slip feature
descr i
bed in the TCS section, has been
disabled and the ESC OFF Indicator Light will
be illuminated. When in “Partial Off” mode,
the engine power reduction feature of TCS is
disabled, and the enhanced vehicle stability
offered by the ESC system is reduced.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when
the ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.

SAFETY 225

(64 km/h). At speeds over 40 mph (64 km/h), the
system
automatically switches to “Partial Off” mode,
described above. When the vehicle speed returns to
less than 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC system will
retur n

to “Full Off” mode. The ESC OFF Indicator
Light is always illuminated when ESC is off. To turn
ESC on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF
button. This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode
of operation.

NOTE:
With the ESC switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stabi l
ity offered by ESC is unavailable. In an emer -
gency evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
e ngage

to assist in maintaining stability. “Full Off”
mode is only intended for off-highway or off-road
use.
NOTE:
“Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESC in
4WD Low. The ESC system will be in this mode
whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD Low or
the power transfer unit is shifted into 4WD Low.

The “ESC OFF” message will display and a chime
will sound when the gear selector is moved from
any position to the PARK (P) position and then
moved out of the PARK position. This will occur
even if the message was cleared previously.

Selec-Terrain — If Equipped
On models equipped with Selec-Terrain, the
a ctiva

tion of some driving modes provide partial off or full off of some active safety systems in order
to optimize performance in specific modes.
Partial or full off of the active safety systems will be
indic
a

ted by a light in the instrument cluster.
In "SAND" and "MUD", the active safety systems
are pa
rtially disabled and put in place to ensure
maximum performance in the specific mode of
operation. However, you can reactivate them
completely at any time by pushing the ESC button.
NOTE:
In 4WD Low, the active safety systems are
comple t
ely bypassed in order to ensure maximum
off-road performance.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster will come
on whe n
the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position. It should go out with the
engine running. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected
in the ESC system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several miles/kilometers at speeds greater
than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer
as soon

as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected. The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
(locat
e

d in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as
soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system
becomes active. The ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light also flashes when Traction Control
System is active. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed
and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
and the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on
momentarily each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
Each time the ignition is placed in the ON posi -
tion, the ESC system will be on even if it was
turne d
off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive
following the maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.
The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is in
“Part i

al Off” or “Full Off” modes.
The ESC OFF button is located in the center
console.

SAFETY 227
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
HSA is designed to help the driver accelerate the
vehicle from a complete stop while on an incline. If
the driver releases the brake while stopped on an
incline, HSA will continue to hold the brake
pressure for a short period. If the driver does not
apply the throttle before this time expires, the
system will release brake pressure and the vehicle
will roll down the hill as normal. The system will
release brake pressure in proportion to amount of
throttle applied.
The following conditions must be met in order for
HSA to a

ctivate:
The vehicle must be stopped.
The vehicle must be on a 5% (approximate)
grade or greater hill.
The gear selection must match vehicle uphill
direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward
gear; vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
For vehicles equipped with an automatic trans -
mission, the HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all f
or ward gears. The system will not activate if
the transmission is in PARK.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off. To
chang e

the current setting, see Ú page 64.
Traction Control System (TCS)
TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of
the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake
pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and
engine power is reduced to provide enhanced
acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS,
Brake Limited Differential (BLD) functions similarly to a limited slip differential and controls the wheel
spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven
axle is spinning faster than the other, the system
will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will
allow more engine torque to be applied to the
wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains
active even if TCS and Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) are in the “Partial Off” mode or the “Full Off”
modes. For further information, see
Ú page 223.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) — If Equipped
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an
excessively swaying trailer and will take the
appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway.
The system may reduce engine power and apply
the brake of the appropriate wheel(s) to counteract
the sway of the trailer.
NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always
use c a
ution when towing a trailer and follow the
trailer tongue weight recommendations. For
further information, see Ú page 124. When TSC is
functioning, the ESC Activation/Malfunction Indi -
cator Light will flash, the engine power may be
r educ e

d and you may feel the brakes being applied
to individual wheels to attempt to stop the trailer
from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESC
system is in the “Partial Off” mode.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in
controlling vehicle speed when descending hills.
The driver must remain attentive to the driving
conditions and is responsible for maintaining a
safe vehicle speed.WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill Start
Assist (HSA) will not activate and slight rolling
may occur, such as on minor hills or with a
loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer. HSA is
not a substitute for active driving involvement. It
is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive to distance to other vehicles, people,
and objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision or
serious personal injury.

display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message in
the instrument cluster display but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel and
tire a

ssemblies (road tires) with tires equipped with
TPMS sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS
will c

hime, the TPMS Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then turn off, and the instrument
cluster will display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message. The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes. On the next
ignition switch cycle the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message will no longer be displayed as long as no
system fault exists.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
secti on

may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on others. If
you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passengers
as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimi
ze the risk of harm from a deploying air bag:

1. Children 12 years old and under should alway
s ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.

2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehi c

le seat belt properly must be secured in
the appropriate child restraint or
belt-positioning booster seat in a rear seating
position Ú page 255.
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-

facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint Ú page 255.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behi n

d them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your c
hild restraint to make sure that you are
using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoul d

er belts properly. 7. The driver and front passenger seats should
be m ov

ed back as far as practical to allow the
front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehi c

le has side air bags, and deployment
occurs, the side air bags will inflate forcefully
into the space between occupants and the
door and occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modif i

ed to accommodate a disabled person,
see Ú page 346 for customer service contact
information.
WARNING!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious injury
to a child 12 years or younger, including a
child in a rear-facing child restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle
does not have a rear seat, do not transport a
rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.
