Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect - If Equipped - Jeep Wrangler2018 Owner's Manual

324 STARTING AND OPERATING
Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with an electronic discon-
necting stabilizer/sway bar. This system allows greater
front suspension travel in off-road situations.
This system is controlled by the SWAY BAR switch located
on the instrument panel (to the right of the steering
column).
Sway Bar Switch
Push the SWAY BAR switch to activate the system. Push
the switch again to deactivate the system. The "Sway Bar
Indicator Light" (located in the instrument cluster) will
illuminate when the bar is disconnected. The "Sway Bar
Indicator Light" will flash during activation transition, or
when activation conditions are not met. The stabilizer/
sway bar should remain in on-road mode during normal
driving conditions.
WARNING!
Ensure the stabilizer/sway bar is reconnected before
driving on hard surfaced roads or at speeds above
18 mph (29 km/h); a disconnected stabilizer/sway bar
may contribute to the loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury. Under certain circum-
stances, the front stabilizer/sway bar enhances vehicle
stability and assists with vehicle control. The system
monitors vehicle speed and will attempt to reconnect
the stabilizer/sway 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.
