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
161. 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+ 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.
NOTE:
Off Road+ will not function in Two Wheel Drive
High (2H) mode. If the button is pushed while in
2H mode, the cluster display will show the
message “Off Road+ Unavailable Shift to 4WD”.
WARNING!
Ensure the stabilizer/sway bar is reconnected
before driving on hard surfaced roads or at
speeds above 18
mph (29
km/h); a discon
-
nected stabilizer/sway bar may contribute to
the loss of vehicle control, which could result
in serious injury. Under certain circum
-
stances, the front stabilizer/sway bar
enhances vehicle stability and assists with
vehicle control. The system monitors vehicle
speed and will attempt to reconnect the stabi
-
lizer/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 contrib
-
ute to the loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury.
