Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
1 CAUTION
It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running.
Your vehicle could move suddenly
if the shift lever is not fully in P
(Park) with the parking brake firmly set. If you have four-wheel drive
with a manual transfer case shift lever and your transfer case\
is in
N
(Neutral), your vehicle will be free to roll, even if your shift lever is in
P (Park). So be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear-not in N
(Neutral). And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine running, it
could overheat and even catch fire. You or others could be injured.
I Don’t leave your vehicle with the engine running unless you have to.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your
vehicle is in
P (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you leave it.
If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift le\
ver, be sure
that the transfer case is in
a drive gear-not in N (Neutral). After you’ve
moved the shift lever into the
P (Park) position, hold the regular brake pedal
down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from P (Park) without
first pulling it toward you.
If you can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully
locked into
P (Park).
Parking Your b bide (Manual Transmission Models
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual transmissi\
on in R
(Reverse) and firmly apply the parking brake.
If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift le\
ver, be sure
your transfer case is in a drive gear. Your vehicle could roll
if it isn’t.

Manual Transfer Case
I
PO1 63
The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever
to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. An indicator light near the lever
shows you the transfer case settings:
2 WHEEL
4 HIGH
N SET PARKING BRAKE
4 LOW
The front axle portion
of the diagram on the indicator will light up when you
shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the patte\
rn's
lighting is normal.
If the pattern does not light up, or if the front axle does
not go out after you shift out
of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check
your system. Turn the dial above your headlight switch
to the left to dim your
transfer case indicator light when your headlights or parking l\
ights are on.
2 WHEEL: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4 HIGH: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use
4 HIGH when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, \
or in most off-road situations.
N SET PARKING BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle
needs
to be towed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4 LOW: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need
4 LOW. It sends the maximum power to all four wheels.
You might choose
4 LOW if you were driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep
snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
You can shift from
2 WHEEL to 4 HIGH or from 4 HIGH to 2 WHEEL while
the vehicle is moving.
It is not necessary for you to press the transfer case
shift lever button. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot
off
of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift into or out of 4 LOW or N SET PARKING BRAKE:
-
1. Stop your vehicle and shift your transmission into neutral.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARKING BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4 LOW,
or your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in
4 HIGH or 4 LOW may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel drive on dry pavement could cause your tires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift.
Electronic Transfer Case

KO41 2
The optional electronic shift transfer case switch is on the left side of your
instrument panel above the light switches. Use this switch to \
shift into and
out of four-wheel drive. You can choose among three driving settings:
1. Two-wheel drive, “TWO WHEEL”: This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front axle
is not engaged in
two-wheel drive.

Cruise Control (Option)
PO259
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can re\
ally help on
long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below about\

25 mph (40
kmlh).
When you apply your brakes
or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual
transmission, the Cruise Control shuts
off.

c
PO261
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and th\
en you apply
the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from ON to
WA (Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at WA (ResumelAccelerate) longer than half a
second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release t\
he switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose contr\
ol.
So
unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at WA
(ResumelAccelerate).
ro Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the fi\
rst:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

half second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal
to increase your speed. When you take your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control speed you set
earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon \
your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
want to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed
down.
Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
1. Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transmission; or
ruzw
2. Move the Cruise switch to OFF.

The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Run\
ning Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make \
your vehicle more
visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. \
DRL is required
on all new vehicles sold in Canada.
The high beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in\
daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
vvnen you turn on your headlights, the DRL will switch
off and the exrerlor
lights will come on. When you turn
off the headlights, the exterior lights will
go out and high beams will change to the reduced brightness of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the instrument panel will go on wh\
enever the DRL is on. This light means that only the DRL is on. When you turn \
on your
exterior lights, this light will go out. Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
Headlights-On Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlights are turned on an\
d your
ignition is in
Off, LOCK or Acc. To turn the tone off, turn the dimmer dial all
the way to the left.
