Brake-Shift Interlock

WARNINGS

When doing this procedure, you need
to take the transmission out of park
(P) which means your vehicle can

roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully apply the parking
brake prior to doing this procedure. Use
wheels chocks if appropriate.

If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

Note:

Do not drive your vehicle until you

verify that the brake lamps are working.

Note:

See your authorized dealer as soon

as possible if this procedure is used.

Note:

For some markets this feature is

disabled.

Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
transmission from park (P) when the
ignition is in the on position and the brake
pedal is not pressed.

If you cannot move the selector out of park
(P) with the ignition in the on position and
the brake pedal pressed, a malfunction
may have occurred. It is possible that a
fuse has blown or your vehicle’s brake
lamps are not operating properly. See Fuse
Specification Chart

(page 304).

If the fuse is not blown and the brake
lamps are working properly, the following
procedure will allow you to move the
gearshift lever from park (P):

1.

Apply the parking brake and switch
your ignition off before performing this
procedure.

2. Locate your brake-shift interlock

access slot. The slot is located in your
center console storage bin. The access
slot does not have a label.

E253438

3. Using a screwdriver, press and hold the

brake shift interlock switch. The shift
buttons on the instrument panel will
flash when your vehicle is in override
mode.

4. With the override switch still held, put

the transmission selector in neutral
(N).

5. Release the override button.

6. Your vehicle will remain in neutral for

wrecker towing purposes or can be
shifted to the desired gear and driven
(if possible).

7.

Release the parking brake.

Automatic Transmission Adaptive
Learning

This feature may increase durability and
provide consistent shift feel over the life
of your vehicle. A new vehicle or
transmission may have firm shifts, soft
shifts or both. This operation is considered
normal and does not affect function or
durability of the transmission. Over time,
the adaptive learning process fully updates
transmission operation.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.

Note:

Do not rock your vehicle for more

than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the
engine may overheat.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
you may rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

(If

Equipped)

Note:

For important information regarding

safe operation of this type of vehicle, see
General Information in the Wheels and Tires
chapter.

Note:

Do not use 4H or 4L mode on dry,

hard surfaced roads. Doing so will produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and may
damage drive components. 4H and 4L mode
is only intended for consistently slippery or
loose surfaces. Use of 4L mode on these
surfaces may produce some noise (such as
occasional clunks), but will not damage
drive components.

Note:

If 4L mode is selected while your

vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h),
the 4WD system does not perform a shift.
This is normal and should be no reason for
concern. Refer to Shifting to or from 4L for
proper operation.

4WD Indicator Lights

Momentarily illuminates when
2H is selected.

4X4 AUTO

Continuously illuminates when
4H is selected.

4X4 LOW

CHECK 4X4

Displays when a 4X4 system
fault is present.

Note:

When a 4X4 system fault is present,

the system typically remains in whichever
4WD mode was selected prior to the fault
condition occurring. It will not default to 4X2
in all circumstances. When this warning is
displayed, have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized dealer.

4WD Switch Selections

WARNING

Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity (utility and four-wheel drive
vehicles) handle differently than

vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death.

Note:

If your vehicle is equipped with

AdvanceTrac® with RSC®, the system
automatically turns off the stability
enhancement feature when you shift the
4WD system into 4L (4X4 LOW). You can
manually turn the system off by pressing
the AdvanceTrac button. See Using
Traction Control (page 207). This turns off
the engine management feature, allowing
the vehicle to maintain full power and
enhanced momentum through the obstacle.
The brake traction enhancement feature is
still turned on.

Note:

The AdvanceTrac system has the

ability to take over control of the transfer
case clutch and disable it during driving
maneuvers when necessary.

Note:

4WD mode availability is based on

Drive Mode selection. See Drive Control
(page 251).
