F QUIPPED
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
gear selector).
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 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.
STARTING AND OPERATING
To disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar, shift to 4WD
LOW and push the SWAY BAR switch to obtain the
off-road position Ú page 142. 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.
