Active Damper System
Indicator

If there is a problem with the active
damper system, the active damper
system shuts down and the active
damper system indicator on the
instrument panel comes on.

You will also see the

‘‘CHECK ADS

SYSTEM

’’ message appear on the

multi-information display.

If you see this warning indicator and
message, have your vehicle checked
at your dealer as soon as possible.

In this case, your vehicle still has the
normal damper function, but it will
not have the active damper function.

Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle has been designed
primarily to carry passengers and
their cargo. You can also use it to tow
a trailer if you carefully observe the
load limits, use the proper
equipment, and follow the guidelines
in this section.

Break-In Period
Avoid towing a trailer during your
vehicle's first 600 miles (1,000 km)
(see page

322

).

Be sure to read the Off-Highway
Driving Guidelines section on page

378

if you plan to tow off paved

surfaces.

Your vehicle is equipped with a
trailer stability assist to help stabilize
the vehicle/trailer combination by
reducing the vehicle speed. For more
information, see page

376
