WARNING!
Do not disconnect the stabilizer bar and drive on
hardsurfaced roads or at speeds above 18 mph (29
km/h); you may lose control of the vehicle, which could
result in serious injury. The front stabilizer bar en-
hances vehicle stability and is necessary for maintain-
ing control of the vehicle. The system monitors vehicle
speed and will attempt to reconnect the stabilizer 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.
To disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar, shift to either 4H or
4L and push the SWAY BAR switch to obtain the off-road
position. Refer to "Four-Wheel Drive Operation" in this
section for further information. 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 condi-
tion 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.
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 is greatly re-
duced. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle over 18 mph
(29 km/h). Driving faster than 18 mph (29 km/ h) may
cause loss of control of the vehicle, which could result
in serious injury. Contact your local authorized dealer
for assistance.
