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 left of the steering column).

Press the SWAY BAR switch to activate the system. Press 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.

To disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar, shift to either 4H or 4L and press the SWAY BAR switch to obtain the off-road position. Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in “Starting and Operating” for further information. The “Sway Bar Indicator Light” will flash until the stabilizer/ sway bar has been fully disconnected.

To return to on-road mode, press the SWAY BAR switch again.

Driving faster than 29 km/h may cause loss of control of the vehicle, which could result in serious injury. Contact your local authorized dealer for assistance.
