 CAPABILITY AND POWER

NEW 4WD SYSTEM RULES THE ROAD

Introducing Selec-Trac II, the most advanced four-wheel-drive (4WD) system in its class, now exclusively available on the all new 2008 Jeep
® (1)
®

Liberty. 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 V

V6 engine produces a robust 210 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, with a generous dose of
power at the engine
engine’s low-end that provides more pull when the going gets tough.

The nnew and optional Selec-Trac II offers BEST-IN-CLASS 4WD performance with
® (1)

re
its real-time traction response. This exclusive system is constantly active and
adju
adjusting to road conditions and your individual driving style, delivering the optimum
c ap a
capability called for at every moment. No wonder it puts all other 4WD systems in
its cl
class to shame.

 SKY SLIDER TM

THE BIG, OPEN SKYWAY

Look up and out. The view is wide open and free. The day’s bold sun, the stars of the night, clouds, trees, buildings and birds — everything
seems closer. Your world feels more alive. It’s “ Wow” times 10 every time you get behind the wheel.
Introducing the all new Sky Slider roof, Jeep Liberty’s industry-exclusive full-length, fully retractable roof. With one simple touch of
TM
®

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 immediately (1)

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.
Detects most obstacles. As with all electronically controlled systems, care is advised.
(1)

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.

 TESTED AND RE- TESTED

Our professional Jeep brand mud-

®

splashers were charged to take the new

Sky Slider roof through the muddiest,
TM

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. The
standard auxiliary jack comes along for
the ride when you option the AM/FM
six-disc CD/MP3 changer, allowing
you to plug in and play portable
music devices.

Raise your audio experience up a notch

with the available ∞Infinity Premium

 RIDE AND HANDLING

WELCOME TO A WORLD-CLASS RIDE

The benchmark was raised: create a new road to adventure that’s comfortably accessible. And so, the all new 2008 Jeep Liberty climbs to these
®

lofty heights with design and engineering developments that never compromise its renowned strength, agility and capability. The result: a bigger,
stronger, sure-footed Liberty destined to lead its class.
The details: A wheelbase that’s 2 inches longer and a track that’s 1 inch wider help to create a smoother, more stable ride. New
independent front suspension and five-link rear suspension provide a smart blend of riding comfort and nimble handling. Front and rear stabilizer
bars help balance tire loads, adding to Liberty’s outstanding on- and off-road performance. New power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering impart
confidence with precise, advanced vehicle control.

LET’S FACE IT. Delivering a world-class ride sometimes takes a bit of doing. We’re talking about
“anti-dive geometry” — that’s what helps keep the all new 2008 Liberty more level during braking. There’s
also “ anti-squat geometry.” This valiant feat of engineering helps get rid of that funny unattractive
“ bounce” that low-brow vehicles sometimes have during heavy acceleration and quick stops. No matter
how you say it, the improvements to this Liberty are pretty darn good.
