•
The vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h) but
remains below 40 mph (64 km/h).
•
The vehicle is shifted into PARK.
Disabling SSC
SSC will deactivate and be disabled if any of the follow-
ing conditions occur:
•
The driver pushes the SSC swi tch.
•
The driveline is shifted out of the 4WD Low.
•
The parking brake is applied.
•
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). SSC will exist immediately.
•
The driver door opens. (Driver door opens if doors
are attached or driver seat belt is unbuckled if doors
are detached).
Feedback To The Driver
The instrument cluster has an SSC icon and the SSC
switch has a light that offers feedback to the driver
about the st ate SSC is in.
•
The cluster icon and switch light will illuminate and
remain on soli d when SSC is enabled or activated.
These are the normal operati ng conditions for SSC.
•
The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds then extinguish when the driver pushes the
SSC switch but enabled conditio ns are not met.
•
The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds then extinguish when SSC disable s due to
excess speed.
•
The cluster icon and switch light will flash then extin-
guish when SSC deactivates due to overheated
brakes.
WARNING!
SSC is only intended to assist the driver in controlling
vehicle speed when driving in o ff-road conditions. The
driver must remain attentive to the driving conditions
and is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
Traction Control System (TCS)
TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the
driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS may
apply brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/or
reduce engine power to provide enhanced acceleration
and stability. A feature of the TCS, Brake Limited Differ-
ential (BLD) functi ons similarly to a limited slip differen-
tial and cont rols the wheel spin across a driven axle. If
one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the
other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied
to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD may remain
enabled even if TCS and Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) are in reduced modes.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces-
sively swaying trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway.
NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use
caution when towing a trailer and follow the trailer
tongue weight recommendations
page 188.
When TSC is functioning, the ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light will flash, the engine power
may be reduced and you may feel the brakes being
applied to individual wheels to attempt to stop the
trailer from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESC sys-
tem is in the “Partial Off” or “Full Off” modes.
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down,
stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the
trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) —
IF EQUIPPED
The BSM system uses two radar sensors, located inside
the taillights, to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that enter the
blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
