The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake
performance under most braking conditions. The sys-
tem 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. 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 system
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 charac-
teristics when the ABS activates:

•

ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may con-
tinue 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

The ABS is designed to function with the Original Equip-
ment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification may result
in degraded ABS performance.

WARNING!

•

The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip-
ment 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 equipment should be per-
formed 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.

•

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 man-
ner that could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning

Light

The yellow ABS Warning Light will turn on when the igni-
tion 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.

If the ABS Warning Light is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits
of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS Warning Light does not
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, have the light repaired as soon as possible.

DROWSY DRIVER DETECTION
(DDD) — IF EQUIPPED

DDD detects when the driver is feeling fatigued and
warns the driver to pull over and take a break.

To Activate/Deactivate

DDD can be activated and deactivated through the
Uconnect system by selecting the following in order:

1. “Safety & Driving Assistance”

2. “Drowsy Driver Detection”

236

WARNING!

The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. Always drive alert and get plenty of rest
before driving. If you experience fatigue while driving,
do not wait for the DDD to intervene with a warning.
Choose a safe and secure location where you can pull
over safely for a break. Only return to the road when
you are in the right physical and mental condition to
prevent endangering yourself and others.

System Operation

Using feedback obtained from the driver’s steering pat-
terns, any buttons/switches that are pressed, and from
the front camera, the system implements two operating
logics:

•

The first operating logic takes the driving style into
account, observing the road and detecting to what
extent the driver can continue driving with few lane
crossing events.

•

The second operating logic measures the time
spent behind the wheel with the vehicle speed
above 40 mph (60 km/h) and below 100 mph
(160 km/h).

If the driving style indicates that the driver is unable to
follow the road trajectory and respect the horizontal
lane markings while within the operating speed range
of the system, a pop up will display on the instrument
cluster display to suggest that the driver should stop for
a break. An audible signal will also sound.

If the driver

accepts

the suggestion provided by the sys-

tem by pushing the “OK” button on the left side of the
steering wheel, the message will disappear from the
display.

If the driver

does not acknowledge

the warning, it will

be displayed for 60 seconds and then disappear.

NOTE:

In the event of a DDD system failure, a dedicated mes-
sage will appear in the instrument cluster display.

REAR SEAT REMINDER ALERT
(RSRA)

RSRA alerts of the possible presence of an object, pas-
senger, or pet in the rear seats through a visual and
auditory notification. When the system is activated, it
displays the message "Check Rear Seat" on the instru-
ment cluster display and sounds an auditory alert upon
the driver placing the ignition in the OFF position to exit
the vehicle. The system will activate automatically if a
rear door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition
being placed in the ON/RUN position. RSRA should be
used as a reminder to check the rear seats, it does not
directly detect objects, passengers, or pets and is only
activated when the previous conditions are met.

To enable or disable RSRA, see

page 199.

WARNING!

•

Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a com-
plete stop, then shift the automatic transmission
into PARK and apply the parking brake.

•

Always make sure the keyless ignition node is in
the OFF position, key fob is removed from the
vehicle and vehicle is locked.

•

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Leaving children in
a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector.

•

Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may
cause serious injury or death.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL
(EBC) SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced EBC system.
This system includes the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
Brake Assist System (BAS), Electronic Brake Force Dis-
tribution (EBD), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and
Traction Control System (TCS). These systems work
together to enhance both vehicle stability and control in
various driving conditions.

Your vehicle may also be equipped with Rain Brake
Support (RBS), Ready Alert Braking (RAB), and Trailer
Sway Control (TSC).

DDD Warning Message

SAFETY

237

Brake Assist System (BAS)

The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking
capability 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 con-
tinuous braking pressure during the stopping 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 hydroplan-
ing. The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner, which could jeopardize the user's safety or the
safety of others.

Brake System Warning Light

The red Brake System 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 Brake System Warning Light remains on or comes
on while driving, it indicates that the brake system is
not functioning properly and that immediate service is

required. If the Brake System Warning Light does not
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, have the light repaired as soon as possible.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution

(EBD)

EBD 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 over-
slip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability, and to
prevent the rear axle from entering ABS before the front
axle.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitor-
ing 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 wheel lift
occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers; it
cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as
road conditions, leaving the roadway, or striking objects
or other vehicles.

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi-
tions and driving conditions, influence the chance
that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM cannot pre-
vent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that
involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or
other vehicles. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped

(Continued)

WARNING!

vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dan-
gerous manner which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC 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 following conditions. Engine power
may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the
desired path.

•

Oversteer — when the vehicle is turning more than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.

•

Understeer — when the vehicle is turning less than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.

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 counteract-
ing the oversteer or understeer condition.

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 Trac-
tion Control System (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.

238

SAFETY

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 inap-
propriate driver input for the conditions. Only a
safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent acci-
dents. 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 main-
tain your vehicle, may change the handling charac-
teristics of your vehicle, and may negatively affect
the performance 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 perfor-
mance. Any vehicle modification or poor vehicle
maintenance that reduces the effectiveness of the
ESC system can increase the risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

ESC Operating Modes

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. When-
ever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in
this mode. This mode should be used for most driving
conditions. Alternate ESC modes should only be used
for specific reasons as noted in the following
paragraphs.

Partial Off

This mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.
This mode may modify TCS and ESC thresholds for acti-
vation, which allows for more wheel spin than normally
allowed.

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

NOTE:

For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes, the push
and release of the button will toggle the ESC modes.
Multiple attempts may be required to return to "ESC On"
mode.

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 sys-
tem is reduced.

(Continued)

WARNING!

•

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when the
ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.

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 ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode. It should go out with the engine run-

ning. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
comes on continuously with the engine running, a mal-
function 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 autho-
rized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.

The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light starts to
flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC sys-
tem 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
conditions.

The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates the
customer has elected to have the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.

SAFETY

239

NOTE:

•

The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light and
the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on momentarily
each time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode.

•

Each time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, 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.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped

HDC is intended for low speed off-road driv-
ing while in 4WD Low. HDC maintains vehicle
speed while descending hills during various
driving situations. HDC controls vehicle

speed by actively controlling the brakes.

HDC Has Three States:

1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate).

2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation

conditions are not met, or driver is actively overrid-
ing with brake or throttle application).

3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling

vehicle speed).

Enabling HDC

HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch, but the fol-
lowing conditions must also be met to enable HDC:

•

The driveline is in 4WD Low.

•

The vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).

•

The parking brake is released.

•

The driver door is closed.

Activating HDC

Once HDC is enabled it will activate automatically if
driven down a grade of sufficient magnitude. The set
speed for HDC is selectable by the driver, and can be
adjusted by using the gear shift +/-. The following sum-
marizes the HDC set speeds:

HDC Target Set Speeds

•

P = No set speed. HDC may be enabled but will not
activate.

•

R = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)

•

N = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)

•

D = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)

•

1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)

•

2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)

•

3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)

•

4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)

•

5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)

•

6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)

•

7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)

•

8th = 5.0 mph (8 km/h)

NOTE:

During HDC the +/- shifter input is used for HDC target
speed selection, but will not affect the gear chosen by
the transmission. When actively controlling HDC the
transmission will shift appropriately for the driver-
selected set speed and corresponding driving
conditions.

Driver Override

The driver may override HDC activation with throttle or
brake application at any time.

Deactivating HDC

HDC will be deactivated but remain available if any of
the following conditions occur:

•

The driver overrides HDC set speed with throttle or
brake application.

•

The vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h) but
remains below 40 mph (64 km/h).

•

The vehicle is on a downhill grade of insufficient
magnitude, is on level ground, or is on an uphill
grade.

•

The vehicle is shifted to PARK.

Disabling HDC

HDC will be deactivated and disabled if any of the fol-
lowing conditions occur:

•

The driver pushes the HDC switch.

•

The driveline is shifted out of 4WD Low.

•

The parking brake is applied.

•

The driver door opens.

•

The vehicle is driven greater than 20 mph
(32 km/h) for greater than 70 seconds.

•

The vehicle is driven greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h) (HDC exits immediately).

•

HDC detects excessive brake temperature.

Feedback To The Driver

The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and the HDC
switch has an LED icon, which offers feedback to the
driver about the state HDC is in.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will illuminate and
remain on solid when HDC is enabled or activated.
This is the normal operating condition for HDC.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds, then extinguish when the driver pushes
the HDC switch but enable conditions are not met.

240

SAFETY

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds, then extinguish when HDC disables due to
excess speed.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash when HDC
deactivates due to overheated brakes. The flashing
will stop and HDC will activate again once the
brakes have cooled sufficiently.

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.

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

HSA 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 sys-
tem 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.

•

The parking brake must be off.

•

The driver door must be closed.

•

The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.

•

The gear selection must match vehicle uphill direc-
tion (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear;
vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE (R) gear).

•

HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward
gears. The system will not activate if the transmis-
sion is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). For vehicles
equipped with a manual transmission, 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.

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 Uconnect Settings, see

page 199 for further information.

Towing With HSA

HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate roll back
while towing a trailer.

WARNING!

•

If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer,
the trailer brakes may be activated and deacti-
vated 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, manually 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 park-
ing brake fully when exiting your vehicle. Also, be
certain to place the transmission in PARK.

•

Failure to follow these warnings can result in a col-
lision or serious personal injury.

Rain Brake Support (RBS)

RBS may improve braking performance in wet condi-
tions. It will periodically apply a small amount of brake
pressure to remove any water buildup on the front
brake rotors. It functions when the windshield wipers
are in LO or HI speed. When RBS is active, there is no
notification to the driver and no driver interaction is
required.

Ready Alert Braking (RAB)

RAB may reduce the time required to reach full braking
during emergency braking situations. It anticipates
when an emergency braking situation may occur by
monitoring how fast the throttle is released by the
driver. The Electronic Brake Controller (EBC) will pre-
pare the brake system for a panic stop.
