When in 4WD AUTO mode, the always-active 4WD transfer case provides continuous, optimum traction that effortlessly conquers rocks, snow, ice, mud and anything in-between. When traction loss tries to rear its nasty head, Selec-Trac II identifies the situation and immediately sends torque to the wheels with the most grip. It’s Jeep brand Trail Rated® capability through and through. Selec-Trac II offers a unique two- wheel-drive mode, an efficiently strong feature that perfectly pairs with dry pavement. Hill Start Assist (HSA) is new and standard, too. Working to help Liberty reach the highest heights, HSA will momentarily hold brake pressure as you climb, fighting vehicle roll back and eliminating the need for two-footed driving in many off-road situations. The available Hill Descent Control (HDC) assists when Liberty comes down the mountain. Active in 4LO when the HDC button is depressed, it mimics the mighty Wrangler Rubicon’s 4LO crawl ratio using automatic braking, allowing the driver to smoothly descend hills in a slow and controlled manner. THE 2008 JEEP® LIBERTY INCLUDES A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY. No deductible. See dealer for a copy of limited warranty and details. Non-Transferable. Not available on certain fleet vehicles. The standard 3.7L V6V engine produces a robust 210 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, with a generous dose of powerpower at thethe engine’sengine low-end that provides more pull when the going gets tough.

This exclusive system is constantly active and adjustingaadju to road conditions and your individual driving style, delivering the optimum capabilityccapa called for at every moment. No wonder it puts all other 4WD systems in itsits classcl to shame.

With one simple touch of a button, the optional Sky Slider roof automatically retracts to give you that special one-of-a-kind Jeep brand open-air experience. Sky Slider is Wrangleresque in its appeal, ultra-fresh in its distinctive design. Take one look at the Sky Slider roof and you won’t be surprised to learn that this exclusive feature has the largest opening in its class,(1) offering a massive 33- x 60-inch window to let you see, unencumbered, straight into the upper atmosphere. An anti-trap safety system(1) immediately sends the Sky Slider roof into auto-reverse if an obstacle is detected during operation. The Sky Slider roof opens front to back exposing both rows of seating, and back to front revealing only the second row, or any position in between. There’s no better highway to take you on an exhilarating scenic tour of your world and the sky beyond. (1)Detects most obstacles. As with all electronically controlled systems, care is advised. The Sky Slider roof can be gathered fully forward, or fully rearward, or partially opened to any position in-between. The roof is integrated into the vehicle’s body via a reinforced safety cage-like frame consisting of 10 lightweight aluminum crossbars that help maintain structural integrity and add an element of protection. The reinforced nylon fabric nests into a specially designed weather-strip seal that’s purposefully created to virtually eliminate wind noise when closed. Factory installation ensures optimum fit, finish and function. 6 JEEP® LIBERTY jeep.com/08liberty TESTED AND RE-TESTED Our professional Jeep® brand mud- splashers were charged to take the new Sky SliderTM roof through the muddiest, snowiest, iciest gauntlet imaginable. What fun they had, spraying dirt in Sky Slider’s track, dousing it with salt water, whipping it with extreme wind and rain, piling it with snow and ice. And at the end of the day, after taking Sky Slider beyond two lifetimes of use that included 19,000 opening and closing repetitions, our testers gave it kudos all around. So go ahead. Jump in your Liberty with its Sky Slider roof and feel free to have fun out there. SOUND IMPROVEMENTS.
