8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should
be replaced. Resurfacing of the rotors is not
recommended, as it removes mass from the
rotor, reducing its thermal capacity. Resur-
facing also thins the rotor cheek, making it
less robust and increasing the likelihood of
pulsation in further track use.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating
Instructions/Precautions
This system contains a single-speed (HI range
only) transfer case, which provides convenient
full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is
required. The Brake Traction Control (BTC) Sys-
tem, which combines standard ABS and Trac-
tion Control, provides resistance to any wheel
that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer
to wheels with traction.
NOTE:
This system is not appropriate for conditions
where LOW range is recommended. Refer to
“Driving Tips” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY —
IF EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by
shutting off four of the engine’s eight cylinders
during light load and cruise conditions. The
system is automatic with no driver inputs or
additional driving skills required.
NOTE:
This system may take some time to return to full
functionality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will give you
good vehicle response and increased ease of
maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will
vary its assist to provide light efforts while
parking and good feel while driving. If the elec-
tric steering system experiences a fault that
prevents it from providing assist, you will still
have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist
could pose a safety risk to yourself and
others. Service should be obtained as soon
as possible.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be
selected through the Uconnect System. Refer to
”Customer
Programmable Features” within
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further in-
formation.
If the Electric Power Steering warn-
ing icon is displayed and the “SER-
VICE POWER STEERING” or the
“POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF
– SERVICE SYSTEM” message is
displayed within the instrument cluster display,
this indicates the vehicle needs to be taken to
the dealer for service. Refer to “Warning Lights
And Messages” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
•
Even if the 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,
especially at low speeds and during parking
maneuvers.
•
If the condition persists, see your authorized
dealer for service.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the
“POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP”
message is displayed on the instrument cluster
screen, they indicate that extreme steering ma-
neuvers may have occurred which caused an
over temperature condition in the power steer-
ing system. Once driving conditions are safe,
pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few
moments until the icon and message turn off.
