244 SAFETY
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off. To change
the current setting, see page 181 for further
information.
Towing With HSA
HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate roll back
while towing a trailer.
WARNING!
•
If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer,
the trailer brakes may be activated and deacti-
vated with the brake switch. If so, there may not be
enough brake pressure to hold both the vehicle
and the trailer on a hill when the brake pedal is
released. In order to avoid rolling down an incline
while resuming acceleration, manually activate the
trailer brake or apply more vehicle brake pressure
prior to releasing the brake pedal.
•
HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply the park-
ing brake fully when exiting your vehicle. Also, be
certain to place the transmission in PARK.
•
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a col-
lision or serious personal injury.
Rain Brake Support (RBS)
RBS may improve braking performance in wet condi-
tions. It will periodically apply a small amount of brake
pressure to remove any water buildup on the front
brake rotors. It functions when the windshield wipers
are in LO or HI speed. When RBS is active, there is no
notification to the driver and no driver interaction is
required.
Ready Alert Braking (RAB)
RAB may reduce the time required to reach full braking
during emergency braking situations. It anticipates
when an emergency braking situation may occur by
monitoring how fast the throttle is released by the
driver. The Electronic Brake Control will prepare the
brake system for a panic stop.
Selec-Speed Control (SSC) — If Equipped
SSC is intended for off-road driving in 4WD
Low only. SSC maintains vehicle speed by
actively controlling engine torque and
brakes.
SSC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate)
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation
conditions are not met, or driver is actively overrid-
ing with brake or throttle application)
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling
vehicle speed)
Enabling SSC
SSC is enabled by pushing the SSC switch, but the fol-
lowing conditions must also be met to enable SSC:
•
The driveline is in 4WD Low.
•
The vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).
•
The parking brake is released.
•
The driver seat belt is buckled.
•
The driver is not applying throttle.
•
The driver door is closed (If doors are attached, the
door must be closed. If doors are detached, then
driver seat belt must be buckled).
Activating SSC
Once SSC is enabled it will activate automatically once
the following conditions are met:
•
The driver releases the throttle.
•
The driver releases the brake.
•
The transmission is in any selection other than
PARK.
•
Your vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h).
•
The driver door is closed (If doors are attached, the
door must be closed. If doors are detached, then
driver seat belt must be buckled).
The set speed for SSC is selectable by the driver, and
can be adjusted by using the gear shift +/-. Additionally,
the SSC set speed may be reduced when climbing a
grade and the level of set speed reduction depends on
the magnitude of grade. The following summarizes the
SSC set speeds:
SSC Target Set Speeds
•
1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
•
2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
•
3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
•
4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
•
5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)
•
6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
•
7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)
•
8th = 5 mph (8 km/h)
•
9th = 5.6 mph (9 km/h) — if equipped
•
REVERSE = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
•
NEUTRAL = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
•
PARK = SSC remains enabled but not active
