feature is turned on. The lamp will be on solid when HDC is

armed. HDC can only be armed when the transfer case is in

the “4WD LOW” position and the vehicle speed is less then

20 mph (32 km/h). If these conditions are not met while

attempting to use the HDC feature, the HDC indicator light

will flash on/off.

Blue Indicator Lights

— High Beam Indicator Light

This indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the high

beam headlights are on. With the low beams activated, push

the multifunction lever forward (toward the front of the

vehicle) to turn on the high beams. Pull the multifunction

lever rearward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to turn off the

high beams. If the high beams are off, pull the lever toward

you for a temporary high beam on, "flash to pass" scenario.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated Onboard

Diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the

performance of the emissions, engine, and transmission

control systems. When these systems are operating properly,

your vehicle will provide excellent performance and fuel

economy, as well as engine emissions well within current

government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system

will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will

also store diagnostic codes and other information to assist

your service technician in making repairs. Although your

vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, see an

authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

• Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause further

damage to the emission control system. It could also

affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle must

be serviced before any emissions tests can be

performed.

• If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is running,

severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will

soon occur. Immediate service is required.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

193

Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II) Cybersecurity

Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard Diagnostic

system (OBD II) and a connection port to allow access to

information related to the performance of your emissions

controls. Authorized service technicians may need to access

this information to assist with the diagnosis and service of

your vehicle and emissions system.

For further information, refer to “Cybersecurity” in “Multimedia”.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an

inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system. Failure

to pass could prevent vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and Mainte-

nance (I/M), this check verifies the “Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not on

when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is

ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II

system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently

serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replace-

ment. If the OBD II system should be determined not ready

for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.
Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test, which you

can use prior to going to the test station. To check if your

vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not

crank or start the engine.

WARNING!

• ONLY an authorized service technician should connect

equipment to the OBD II connection port in order to

read the VIN, diagnose, or service your vehicle.

• If unauthorized equipment is connected to the OBD II

connection port, such as a driver-behavior tracking

device, it may:

• Be possible that vehicle systems, including safety

related systems, could be impaired or a loss of

vehicle control could occur that may result in an

accident involving serious injury or death.

• Access, or allow others to access, information stored

in your vehicle systems, including personal infor-

mation.

3

194 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start this test

over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the ON posi-

tion, you will see the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”

symbol come on as part of a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will

happen:
• The MIL will flash for about ten seconds and then

return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the

ignition or start the engine. This means that your

vehicle's OBD II system is not ready and you should

not proceed to the I/M station.

• The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illu-

minated until you place the ignition in the off position

or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD

II system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M

station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an autho-

rized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently

serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may

need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you

normally would in order for your OBD II system to update.

A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that

the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready

or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle oper-

ation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to

the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle

because the MIL is on with the engine running.

SAFETY FEATURES

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (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 ABS

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.
ABS is activated during braking when the system detects one

or more wheels begin 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 when ABS activates:
• The ABS motor noise (it may continue to run for a short

time after the stop).

• The clicking sound of solenoid valves.
• Brake pedal pulsations.
• A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.

WARNING!

• The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equipment

that may be susceptible to interference caused by

improperly installed or high output radio transmitting

equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of

anti-lock braking capability. Installation of such equip-

ment should be performed by qualified 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.

4

196 SAFETY

ABS is designed to function with the OEM tires. Modification

may result in degraded ABS performance.
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The yellow “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” will turn on

when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN mode and may

stay on for as long as four seconds.

If the “Anti-Lock Brake 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 “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on, the brake

system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the

benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning

Light” does not come on when the ignition is turned to the

ON/RUN mode, have the light repaired as soon as possible.

Electronic Brake Control System

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced Electronic Brake

Control system (EBC). This system includes Electronic Brake

Force Distribution (EBD), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),

Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Traction

Control System (TCS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC),

and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). These systems work

together to enhance both vehicle stability and control in

various driving conditions.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with Trailer Sway

Control (TSC) and Hill Descent Control (HDC).

• 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 hydroplaning.

• 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! (Continued)

SAFETY

197

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)

This function manages the distribution of the braking torque

between the front and rear axles by limiting braking pressure

to the rear axle. This is done to prevent overslip of the rear

wheels to avoid vehicle instability, and to prevent the rear

axle from entering ABS before the front axle.
Brake System Warning Light

The red “Brake System Warning Light” will turn on when

the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN mode and may stay on

for as long as four seconds.
If the “Brake System Warning Light” remains on or comes on

while driving, it indicates that the brake system is not func-

tioning properly and that immediate service is required. If

the “Brake System Warning Light” does not come on when

the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN mode, have the light

repaired as soon as possible.

Brake Assist System (BAS)

The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capa-

bility during emergency braking maneuvers. The system

detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate

and amount of brake application and then applies optimum

pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking

distances. The BAS complements the anti-lock brake system

(ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best

BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the system, you

must apply continuous braking pressure during the stop-

ping sequence, (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce

brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired.

Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.

WARNING!

The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent the

natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor

can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road

conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions, including

those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on

very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities

of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a

reckless or dangerous manner, which could jeopardize

the user's safety or the safety of others.

4

198 SAFETY

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

The HSA system is designed to mitigate roll back 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 following conditions must be met in order for HSA to

activate:
• The feature must be enabled.
• The vehicle must be stopped.
• Park brake must be off.
• Driver door must be closed.
• The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.

• The gear selection must match vehicle uphill direction (i.e.,

vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle backing

uphill is in REVERSE gear).

• HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward gears.

The system will not activate if the transmission is in PARK

or NEUTRAL. For vehicles equipped with a instruction trans-

mission, if the clutch is pressed, HSA will remain active.

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.

SAFETY

199

Towing With HSA

HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate roll back while

towing a trailer.

Disabling And Enabling HSA

This feature can be turned on or turned off. To change the

current setting, proceed as follows:
• If disabling HSA using your instrument cluster display,

refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know

Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

• If disabling HSA using Uconnect Settings, refer to “Ucon-

nect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.

For vehicles not equipped with an instrument cluster

display, perform the following steps:
1. Center the steering wheel (front wheels pointing straight

forward).

2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Start the engine.
5. Rotate the steering wheel slightly more than one-half turn

to the left.

WARNING!

• If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer, the

trailer brakes may be activated and deactivated with

the brake switch. If so, there may not be enough brake

pressure to hold both the vehicle and the trailer on a

hill when the brake pedal is released. In order to avoid

rolling down an incline while resuming acceleration,

instructionly activate the trailer brake or apply more

vehicle brake pressure prior to releasing the brake

pedal.

• HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply the parking

brake fully when exiting your vehicle. Also, be certain

to place the transmission in PARK.

• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a colli-

sion or serious personal injury.

4

200 SAFETY

6. Push the “ESC Off” button located in the lower switch

bank below the climate control four times within 20

seconds. The “ESC Off Indicator Light” should turn on

and turn off two times.

7. Rotate the steering wheel back to center and then an addi-

tional slightly more than one-half turn to the right.

8. Turn the ignition to the OFF mode and then back to ON.

If the sequence was completed properly, the “ESC Off

Indicator Light” will blink several times to confirm HSA

is disabled.

9. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its

previous setting.

Traction Control System (TCS)

This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the

driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS may apply

brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/or reduce

engine power to provide enhanced acceleration and stability.

A feature of the TCS, Brake Limited Differential (BLD), func-

tions similar 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

power to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD

may remain enabled even if TCS and ESC are in a reduced

mode.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

This system enhances directional control and stability of the

vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC corrects for

oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by applying the

brake of the appropriate wheel(s) to assist in counteracting

the oversteer or understeer condition. Engine power may

also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path

intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of

the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the

intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appropriate

wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer

condition.
• Oversteer — when the vehicle is turning more than appro-

priate for the steering wheel position.

• Understeer — when the vehicle is turning less than appro-

priate for the steering wheel position.

SAFETY

201

(Continued)

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” located

in the instrument cluster will start to flash as soon as the ESC

system becomes active. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction

Indicator Light” also flashes when the TCS 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.

WARNING!

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent the

natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor

can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road

conditions. ESC cannot prevent accidents, including

those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving

on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also

cannot prevent accidents resulting from loss of vehicle

control due to inappropriate driver input for the condi-

tions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can

prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESC equipped

vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or

dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s

safety or the safety of others.

• Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly maintain

your vehicle, may change the handling characteristics

of your vehicle, and may negatively affect the perfor-

mance of the ESC system. Changes to the steering

system, suspension, braking system, tire type and size

or wheel size may adversely affect ESC performance.

Improperly inflated and unevenly worn tires may also

degrade ESC performance. Any vehicle modification or

poor vehicle maintenance that reduces the effective-

ness of the ESC system can increase the risk of loss of

vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and

death.

WARNING! (Continued)

202 SAFETY

ESC Operating Modes

NOTE:

Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESC

system may have multiple operating modes.
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. Whenever

the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this mode.

This mode should be used for most driving conditions. Alter-

nate ESC modes should only be used for specific reasons as

noted in the following paragraphs.
Partial Off
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times when a more

spirited driving experience is desired. This mode may

modify TCS and ESC thresholds for activation, which allows

for more wheel spin than normally allowed. This mode may

be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.

To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily push the “ESC

Off” switch and the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will illumi-

nate. To turn the ESC on again, momentarily push the “ESC

Off” switch and the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will turn off.
NOTE:

For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes a momentary

button push will toggle the ESC mode. Multiple momentary

button pushed may be required to return to ESC On.

WARNING!

• When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality of

ESC, (except for the limited slip feature described 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

203

Full Off — If Equipped
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only

and should not be used on any public roadways. In this

mode, TCS and ESC features are turned OFF. To enter the

“Full Off” mode, push and hold the “ESC Off” switch for five

seconds while the vehicle is stopped with the engine

running. After five seconds, a chime will sound, the “ESC Off

Indicator Light” will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message

will display in the instrument cluster. To turn ESC ON again,

momentarily push the “ESC Off” switch.
NOTE:

System may switch from ESC “Full Off” to “Partial Off”

mode when vehicle exceeds a predetermined speed. When

the vehicle speed slows below the predetermined speed the

system will return to ESC “Full Off”.
ESC modes may also be affected by drive modes if so

equipped.

WARNING!

• In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine torque reduc-

tion and stability features are disabled. Therefore,

enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESC system is

unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the

ESC system will not engage to assist in maintaining

stability. ESC “Full Off” mode is intended for

off-highway or off-road use only.

• The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent

the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle,

nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing

road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents,

including those resulting from excessive speed in

turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro-

planing. ESC also cannot prevent collisions.

204 SAFETY

ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And ESC
OFF Indicator Light

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”

in the instrument cluster will come on when the igni-

tion is turned to the ON mode. 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” (located

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

TCS 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 condi-

tions.

NOTE:
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” and

the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” come on momentarily each

time the ignition is turned ON.

• Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system will

be on even if it was turned 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

customer has elected to have the Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by moni-

toring the driver’s steering wheel input and the speed of the

vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the

steering wheel angle and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to

potentially cause wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate

brake and may also reduce engine power to lessen the chance

that wheel lift will occur. ERM can only reduce the chance of
