SSC Target Set Speeds — If Equipped With Off Road+
•
1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
•
2nd = 0.9 mph (1.5 km/h)
•
3rd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
•
4th = 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h)
•
5th = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
•
6th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
•
7th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
•
8th = 5 mph (8 km/h)
•
REVERSE = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
•
NEUTRAL = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
•
PARK = SSC remains enabled but not active
NOTE:
•
During SSC, the +/- gear selector input is used for
SSC target speed selection but will not affect the
gear chosen by the transmission. While actively con-
trolling SSC, the transmission will shift appropriately
for the driver-selected set speed and corresponding
driving conditions.
•
SSC operation is influenced by Off Road+ drive
mode if active. The differences may be notable to
the driver as a varying level of aggressiveness.
Driver Override
The driver may override SSC activation with throttle or
brake application at any time.
Deactivating SSC
SSC will be deactivated but remain available if any of
the following conditions occur:
•
The driver overrides SSC set speed with throttle or
brake application.
•
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 switch.
•
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 lamp that offers feedback to the driver
about the state SSC is in.
•
The cluster icon and switch lamp will illuminate and
remain on solid when SSC is enabled or activated.
These are the normal operating conditions for SSC.
•
The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash for sev-
eral seconds then extinguish when the driver
pushes the SSC switch but enabled conditions are
not met.
•
The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash for sev-
eral seconds then extinguish when SSC disables
due to excess speed.
•
The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash then
extinguish when SSC deactivates due to overheated
brakes.
SAFETY
WARNING!
SSC is only intended to assist the driver in controlling
vehicle speed when driving in off-road conditions. The
driver must remain attentive to the driving conditions
and is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle
speed.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin for 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 Differential (BLD) functions similarly to a limited
slip differential and controls 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 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. See
further information.
