Important limits

  • The system is intended for off-road use, not normal pavement.
  • Do not drive over 18 mph (29 km/h) with a sway bar that will not reconnect.
  • Uneven suspension loading can temporarily torque-lock the bar.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If it will not reconnect, move onto level ground or gently rock the vehicle to align both halves.
  • ✓Reduce below 14 mph (22 km/h) so the system can attempt reconnection.
  • ✓A flashing indicator that persists requires service; do not continue at road speed.
