Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Your limited-slip rear axle can give you additional
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like
a standard axle most of the time, but when one of the
rear wheels has no traction and the other does, this
feature will allow the wheel with traction to move
the vehicle.
Selective Real Time Damping

called Selective Real Time Damping (SRTD). The
system provides the following performance benefits:
0 Reduced impact harshness

it to select the
suspension characteristic of your choice.
TOUR: Use for normal city and highway driving.

or response to the road conditions.

Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If
you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on
your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The electric mirror control is on the driver’s door. To
adjust either mirror, press the
LT (left) or RT (right) switch
to select the mirror, then press the arrows to adjust the
direction of the mirror. The selected mirror will stay on for
20 seconds after the last adjustment. An indicator light will
come on above the mirror that you select.
Your preferred mirror position can be stored if you have
the memory option. See “Memory” in the Index.
For operation of the heated outside
mirrors, see “Rear
Window Defogger” in the Index.

To use this storage area, pull up the lid on the driver's
side front edge of the console and swing it to the
passenger's side.

when the driver sits down.
The fuel fill door release and accessory outlet are
located inside the console.
Security Shade (Option)
The security shade can provide hidden storage in the
rear area of your vehicle. The shade is also helpful in
blocking the glare from the removeable roof when it is
stored in the rear compartment.
Using the Security Shade

on the front corners
(A)
of the shade to the
T-nuts located on the
front corners of the rear

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Accessory Outlet
This outlet is located inside the center console, on the
forward left side. Remove the tethered cap to use the
outlet. The outlet can be used to connect electrical
equipment such as
a cellular phone or CB radio. Be sure
to follow the installation instructions included with the
equipment. Replace the cap when the outlet is not in use.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory outlet:
The maximum load of any electrical
equipment should not exceed
15 amps.
Be sure to turn off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods can
drain your battery.
We recommend that you see a qualified technician or your
dealer for the proper installation of your equipment.
Floor Mats (Option)
Your vehicle’s floor mats are specially designed to
remain in position under your feet and out of reach of
the accelerator pedal. The driver’s side floor mat is held
in place by two locator hooks and the passenger’s side is
held in place by one.
Be sure that the driver’s side floor mat is properly
placed on the floor
so that it does not block the
movement of the accelerator pedal.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to the highest speed for a few moments
before driving
off. This helps clear the intake outlets
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the area around the base of the center
instrument panel console and air path under the seats
clear of objects. This helps air circulate throughout
your vehicle.
