STARTING AND OPERATING
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 168. The
“Sway Bar Indicator Light” will flash until the
stabilizer/sway bar has been fully
disconnected.
NOTE:
The stabilizer/sway bar may be torque locked
due to left and right suspension height differ
-
ences. 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.
OFF ROAD+ — I

QUIPPED
OFF ROAD+ Switch
When activated, OFF ROAD+ is designed to
improve the user experience when using
specific Off Road driving modes. To activate OFF
ROAD+, push the OFF ROAD+ switch in the
switch bank. The vehicle’s performance will
improve depending of which Four Wheel Drive
(4WD) mode is activated.
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.
WARNING!
If the stabilizer/sway bar will not return to
on-road mode, the “Sway Bar Indicator Light”
will flash in the instrument cluster and vehicle
stability may be reduced. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle over 18 mph (29 km/h).
Driving faster than 18 mph (29 km/h) with a
disconnected stabilizer/sway bar may
contribute to the loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.
