Your vehicle may be equipped with an
electronic disconnecting 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.
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
circumstances, 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.
WARNING!
To disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar, shift to
either 4H or 4L and push the SWAY BAR switch to
obtain the off-road position Ú page 151. 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 condition 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 may be reduced. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle over 18 mph (29 km/h).
Driving faster than 18 mph (29 km/h) with a
disconnected stabilizer/sway bar may
contribute to the loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.
