Page 89: Driving Safety Systems
Safety and Security Driving safety systems In this section you will find information on the following driving safety systems: ABS (Antilock Brake System) BAS (Brake Assist System) 4-ETS (Electronic Traction System) EBB (Electronic Brake Booster) ® (Electronic Stability Program) Warning! The following factors increase the risk of accidents: Excessive speed, especially in turns...
Page 90 Continuous steady brake pedal pressure yields the advantages provided by the ABS, namely braking power and the ability to steer the vehicle. On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will respond even to light brake pressure. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions and func- tions as a reminder to take extra care while driving.
Page 91: Bas
Safety and Security Driving safety systems LOW RANGE– ABS During off-road driving a special low range system for the Antilock Brake System (ABS) is operational with transfer case in position LOW ( page 170). An improved braking action (dig-in effect) is obtained for vehicle speeds up to 37 mph (60 km/h) through a change in the ABS control function.
Page 92: 4-Ets
Warning! The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, includ- ing those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.

Page 279: Tire Care And Maintenance
Operation Tires and wheels Tire care and maintenance Warning! Regularly check the tires for damage. Dam- aged tires can cause tire inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have sustained damage, replace them.
Page 280 Tread depth Do not allow your tires to wear down too far. Adhesion properties on wet roads are sharply reduced at tread depths of less than in (3 mm). Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by law. These indicators are located in six places on the tread circumference and become visible at a tread depth of approx- imately...
Page 281: Direction Of Rotation
Operation Tires and wheels Direction of rotation Unidirectional tires offer added advan- tages, such as better hydroplaning per- formance. To benefit, however, you must make sure the tires rotate in the direction specified. An arrow on the sidewall indicates the intended direction of rotation (spinning) of the tire.
Page 282 Tire and Loading Information Warning! Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified load limit as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver’s door B-pillar. Overloading the tires can overheat them, possibly causing a blowout. Overloading the tires can also result in handling or steering problems, or brake failure.

Page 289: Checking Tire Inflation Pressure
Operation Tires and wheels Tire inflation pressure changes by approxi- mately 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) per 18°F (10°C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire inflation pressure where the temperature is different from the outside temperature. Checking tire inflation pressure Regularly check your tire inflation pressure at least once a month.
Page 290 Checking tire inflation pressure manually Follow the steps below to achieve correct tire inflation pressure: Remove the cap from the valve on one tire. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve. Read tire inflation pressure on tire gauge and check against the recom- mended tire inflation pressure on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver’s door B-pillar...
Page 291 Operation Tires and wheels The TPMS only functions on wheels that are equipped with the proper electronic sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres- sure, as selected by the driver, in all four tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a decrease in pressure in one or more of the tires.
Page 292 Warning! The Advanced TPMS does not indicate a warning for wrongly selected inflation pres- sures. Always adjust tire inflation pressure according to the Tire and Loading Informa- tion placard on the driver’s door B-pillar or, if available, the supplemental tire inflation pressure information on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
