STARTING AND OPERATING

171

NOTE:

Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle

completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur

due to the mating teeth not being properly aligned.

Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth

alignment and shift completion to occur. The

preferred method is with the vehicle rolling at

1 to 3 mph (2 to 5 km/h). Avoid attempting to

engage or disengage 4L with the vehicle moving

faster than 1 to 3 mph (2 to 5 km/h).
During cold weather, you may experience

increased effort in shifting until the transfer case

fluid warms up. This is normal.

The transfer case provides five positions:



2H (Two-Wheel Drive High Range)



4H AUTO (Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range)



4H PART TIME (Four-Wheel Drive Part Time High

Range)



N (Neutral)



4L (Four-Wheel Drive Low Range)

For additional information on the appropriate use

of each transfer case position, see the information

below:

2H
Two-Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for

normal street and highway driving on dry, hard

surfaced roads.
4H AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range — This range

sends power to the front wheels. The four-wheel

drive system will be automatically engaged when

the vehicle senses a loss of traction. This range

provides additional traction for varying road

conditions.
4H PART TIME
Four-Wheel Drive Part Time High Range — This

range maximizes torque to the front driveshaft,

forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the

same speed. This range provides additional

traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only.

WARNING!

Failure to engage a transfer case position

completely can cause transfer case damage or

loss of power and vehicle control. You could have

a collision. Do not drive the vehicle unless the

transfer case is fully engaged.

172

STARTING AND OPERATING

N (Neutral)

Neutral — This range disengages both the front and

rear driveshafts from the powertrain. To be used

for flat towing behind another vehicle

page 217.

4L
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides

low speed four-wheel drive. It maximizes torque to

the front driveshaft, forcing the front and rear

wheels to rotate at the same speed. This range

provides additional traction and maximum pulling

power for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not

exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).

This transfer case is designed to be driven in the

two-wheel drive position (2H) or four-wheel drive

position (4H AUTO) for normal street and highway

conditions on dry hard surfaced roads. Driving the

vehicle in 2H will have greater fuel economy

benefits as the front axle is not engaged in 2H.
For variable driving conditions, the 4H AUTO mode

can be used. In this mode, the front axle is

engaged, but the vehicle's power is sent to the rear

wheels. Four-wheel drive will be automatically

engaged when the vehicle senses a loss of

traction. Because the front axle is engaged, this

mode will result in lower fuel economy than the 2H

mode.
In the event that additional traction is required, the

transfer case 4H and 4L positions can be used to

lock the front and rear driveshafts together, forcing

the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same

speed. The 4H and 4L positions are intended for

loose, slippery road surfaces only and not intended

for normal driving. Driving in the 4H and 4L

positions on hard-surfaced roads will cause

increased tire wear and damage to the driveline

components. For further information on shifting

into 4H or 4L

page 172.

The instrument cluster alerts the driver that the

vehicle is in four-wheel drive, and the front and

rear driveshafts are locked together. The light will

illuminate when the transfer case is shifted into

the 4H position.

When operating your vehicle in 4L, the engine

speed will be approximately three times (four times

for Rubicon models) that of the 2H or 4H positions

at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed

the engine.
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles

depends on tires of equal size, type, and

circumference on each wheel. Any difference will

adversely affect shifting and cause damage to the

transfer case.
Because four-wheel drive provides improved

traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning

and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road

conditions permit.

Shifting Procedures

2H TO 4H AUTO OR 4H AUTO TO 2H

Shifting between 2H and 4H AUTO can be made

with the vehicle stopped or in motion. The

preferred shifting speed would be 0 to 45 mph

(72 km/h). With the vehicle in motion, the transfer

case will engage/disengage faster if you

momentarily release the accelerator pedal after

completing the shift. Do not accelerate while

shifting the transfer case. Apply a constant force

when shifting the transfer case lever.

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if you

leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer

case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully

engaging the parking brake. The transfer case N

(Neutral) position disengages both the front and

rear driveshafts from the powertrain, and will

allow the vehicle to roll, even if the automatic

transmission is in PARK (or manual transmission

is in gear). The parking brake should always be

applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.

STARTING AND OPERATING

173

2H/4H AUTO TO 4H PART TIME OR 4H PART

TIME TO 2H/4H AUTO

Shifting between 2H/4H AUTO to 4H PART TIME

can be made with the vehicle stopped or in motion.

The preferred shifting speed would be 0 to 45 mph

(72 km/h). With the vehicle in motion, the transfer

case will engage/disengage faster if you

momentarily release the accelerator pedal after

completing the shift. Do not accelerate while

shifting the transfer case. Apply a constant force

when shifting the transfer case lever.

NOTE:



Do not attempt to make a shift while only the

front or rear wheels are spinning. The front and

rear driveshaft speeds must be equal for the

shift to take place. Shifting while only the front

or rear wheels are spinning can cause damage

to the transfer case.



Delayed shifts out of four-wheel drive may be

experienced due to uneven tire wear, low or

uneven tire pressures, excessive vehicle

loading, or cold temperatures.



Shifting effort will increase with speed, this is

normal.

During cold weather, you may experience

increased effort in shifting until the transfer case

fluid warms up. This is normal.

4H PART TIME/4H AUTO TO 4L OR 4L TO 4H

PART TIME/4H AUTO

With the vehicle rolling at 1 to 3 mph (2 to 5 km/h),

shift an automatic transmission into NEUTRAL (N),

or press the clutch pedal on a manual

transmission. While the vehicle is coasting at 1 to

3 mph (2 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever

firmly to the desired position. Do not pause with

the transfer case in N (Neutral). Once the shift is

completed, place the automatic transmission into

DRIVE or release the clutch pedal on a manual

transmission.

NOTE:

Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle

completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur

due to the mating teeth not being properly aligned.

Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth

alignment and shift completion to occur. The

preferred method is with the vehicle rolling at 1 to

QUIPPED

The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant driving

force to both rear wheels and reduces wheel spin

caused by the loss of traction at one driving wheel.

If traction differs between the two rear wheels, the

differential automatically proportions the usable

torque by providing more torque to the wheel that

has traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery

driving conditions. With both rear wheels on a

slippery surface, a slight application of the

accelerator will supply maximum traction.

WARNING!

Failure to engage a transfer case position

completely can cause transfer case damage or

loss of power and vehicle control. You could have

a collision. Do not drive the vehicle unless the

transfer case is fully engaged.

WARNING!

On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip

differential, never run the engine with one rear

wheel off the ground. The vehicle may drive

through the rear wheel remaining on the ground

and cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

QUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with an electronic

disconnecting stabilizer/sway bar. This system

allows greater front suspension travel in off-road

situations.

This system is controlled by the SWAY BAR switch

located on the instrument panel (to the right of the

steering column).

SWAY BAR Switch

Push the SWAY BAR switch to disconnect or

connect the sway bar. The Sway Bar Indicator Light

(located in the instrument cluster) will illuminate

when the bar is disconnected. The Sway Bar

Indicator Light will flash during activation

transition, or when activation conditions are not

met. The stabilizer/sway bar should remain in

on-road mode during normal driving conditions.

To disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar, shift to

either 4H or 4L and push the SWAY BAR switch to

obtain the off-road position

page 169. The Sway

Bar Indicator Light will flash until the stabilizer/

sway bar has been fully disconnected.

WARNING!

Ensure the stabilizer/sway bar is reconnected

before driving on hard surfaced roads or at

speeds above 18 mph (29 km/h); a

disconnected stabilizer/sway bar may contribute

to the loss of vehicle control, which could result

in serious injury. Under certain circumstances,

the front stabilizer/sway bar enhances vehicle

stability and assists with vehicle control. The

system monitors vehicle speed and will attempt

to reconnect the stabilizer/sway bar at speeds

over 18 mph (29 km/h). This is indicated by a

flashing or solid Sway Bar Indicator Light. Once

vehicle speed is reduced below 14 mph

(22 km/h), the system will once again attempt to

return to off-road mode.

176

STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:

The stabilizer/sway bar may be torque locked due

to left and right suspension height differences.

This condition is due to driving surface differences

or vehicle loading. In order for the stabilizer/sway

bar to disconnect/reconnect, the right and left

halves of the bar must be aligned. This alignment

may require that the vehicle be driven onto level

ground or rocked from side to side.
To return to on-road mode, push the SWAY BAR

switch again.

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electro-Hydraulic

Power Steering system that will provide increased

vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. If

the Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering system

experiences a fault that prevents it from providing

power steering assist, then the system will provide

mechanical steering capability.

If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING”

message and a flashing icon are

displayed on the instrument cluster

screen, it indicates that the vehicle

needs to be taken to an authorized dealer for

service. It is likely the vehicle has lost power

steering assistance

page 128.

If the “POWER STEERING HOT” message and an

icon are displayed on the instrument cluster

screen, it indicates that extreme steering

maneuvers may have occurred, which caused an

over temperature condition in the power steering

system. You will lose power steering assistance

momentarily until the over temperature condition

no longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe,

pull over and let vehicle idle for a few moments

until the light turns off

page 128.

NOTE:



Even if power steering assistance is no longer

operational, it is still possible to steer the

vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a

substantial increase in steering effort, espe

cially at very low vehicle speeds and during

parking maneuvers.



If the condition persists, see an authorized

dealer for service.

CAUTION!

Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the

electrically driven pump to reduce or stop power

steering assistance in order to prevent damage

to the system. Normal operation will resume

once the system is allowed to cool.

WARNING!

Cruise Control can be dangerous where the

system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your

vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and

you could lose control and have an accident. Do

not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on

roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or

slippery.

WARNING!

Leaving the Cruise Control system on when not

in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set

the system or cause it to go faster than you

want. You could lose control and have an

accident. Always ensure the system is off when

you are not using it.

184

STARTING AND OPERATING

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase

speed by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease

speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)



Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will

result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each

subsequent tap of the button results in an

adjustment of 1 mph.



If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust in 5 mph incre

ments until the button is released, then the new

set speed will be established.

Metric Speed (km/h)



Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will

result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each

subsequent tap of the button results in an

adjustment of 1 km/h.



If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust in 10 km/h incre

ments until the button is released, then the new

set speed will be established.

To Accelerate For Passing

While the Cruise Control is set, press the

accelerator to pass as you would normally. When

the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the

set speed.

USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS

The transmission may downshift on hills to

maintain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and

down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills

is normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or

gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive

without Cruise Control.

To Resume Speed

To resume a previously set speed, push the RES

button and release. Resume can be used at any

speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).

To Deactivate

A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC

(cancel) button, or normal brake pressure while

slowing the vehicle will deactivate the Cruise

Control without erasing the set speed from

memory.

The following conditions will also deactivate the

Cruise Control without erasing the set speed from

memory:



Vehicle parking brake is applied



Stability event occurs



Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE



Engine overspeed occurs



Clutch pedal is pressed (manual transmission

only)



Vehicle is operating at a low RPM (manual trans

mission only)

Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in

the OFF position, erases the set speed from

memory.

ONTROL

(ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving

convenience provided by Cruise Control while

traveling on highways and major roadways.

However, it is not a safety system and not designed

to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control function

performs differently if your vehicle is not equipped

with ACC

page 183.

WARNING!

Cruise Control can be dangerous where the

system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your

vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and

you could lose control and have an accident. Do

not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on

roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or

slippery.

STARTING AND OPERATING

185

(Continued)

ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged

in light to moderate traffic conditions without the

constant need to reset your speed. ACC utilizes a

radar sensor and a forward facing camera

designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead of you

to maintain a set speed.

NOTE:



If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC

will apply limited braking or accelerate (not to

exceed the original set speed) automatically to

maintain a preset following distance, while

matching the speed of the vehicle ahead.



Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica

tions to the vehicle will affect the performance

of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Colli

sion Warning system.



Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled)

will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you.

Always be aware of the feature selected

page 465.

WARNING!



Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve

nience system. It is not a substitute for active

driver involvement. It is always the driver’s

responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic,

and weather conditions, vehicle speed,

distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most

importantly, brake operation to ensure safe

operation of the vehicle under all road condi

tions. Your complete attention is always

required while driving to maintain safe control

of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn

ings can result in a collision and death or

serious personal injury.



The ACC system:



Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming

vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a

stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a

disabled vehicle).



Cannot take street, traffic, and weather

conditions into account, and may be

limited upon adverse sight distance condi

tions.



Does not always fully recognize complex

driving conditions, which can result in

wrong or missing distance warnings.

You should turn the ACC system off:



When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,

sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situa

tions (i.e., in highway construction zones).



When entering a turn lane or highway off

ramp; when driving on roads that are winding,

icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep

uphill or downhill slopes.



When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.



When circumstances do not allow safe driving

at a constant speed.

WARNING!
