VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) OFF SWITCH (if so equipped)
The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system monitors driver inputs and
vehicle motion. Under certain conditions, it controls braking and engine
output to help improve traction or handling. VDC may need to be temporarily
shut off if you are trying to free a vehicle stuck in snow or mud.
Push the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF switch to deactivate
the VDC system. The
light will illuminate in the instrument panel
gauge area.
Push the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF switch again to activate the VDC system.
The
light in the instrument panel gauge area will turn off.
The VDC system is active while the vehicle is running, until the switch is pressed to turn off.
E-LOCK SWITCH (if so equipped)
The Electronic Locking Rear Differential (E-Lock) system can help
provide added traction if the vehicle is stuck or becoming stuck.
To activate the system:
The 4WD switch must be in the 4LO position (4-wheel drive vehicles).
The vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4 MPH or less.
The E-Lock system switch must be turned on.
Once the vehicle is free, the system should be turned off.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL SWITCH (if so equipped)
The hill descent control system is designed to reduce driver workload
when going down steep hills. The hill descent control system helps to
control vehicle speed so the driver can concentrate on steering the vehicle.
To activate the hill descent control system:
The automatic transmission selector lever must be in forward
or reverse gear.
The 4WD switch must be in the 4L position and the vehicle
speed must be under 15 MPH (25 km/h), or
The 4WD switch must be in the 4H position and the vehicle speed must be under 21 MPH
(35 km/h).
The hill descent control system switch must be on.
The hill descent control indicator light will come on when the system is activated. Also, the
stop/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent control system applies the brakes to control
vehicle speed. To turn off the hill descent control system, push the switch to the off position.
The hill descent control system is temporarily disabled when the brake or accelerator pedal
is depressed.
