STARTING AND OPERATING 163
SWAY BAR Switch
Push the SWAY BAR switch to activate the system.
Push the switch again to deactivate the system.
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 Ú page 157. 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 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.

OFF ROAD+ Switch
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 seri-
ous injury. Under certain circumstances, the
front stabilizer/sway bar enhances vehicle sta-
bility and assists with vehicle control. The sys-
tem 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 flash-
ing or solid Sway Bar Indicator Light. Once vehi-
cle 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 stabil-
ity 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 sta-
bilizer/sway bar may contribute to the loss of
vehicle control, which could result in serious
injury.
