Alarm/Panic Mode
The theft
-deterrent system provides a fourth button on
your transmitter. This button is the alarm/panic button. If
you are involved in a panic situation, press this button and
your vehicle's horn will sound and the headlamps will
flash. This will draw needed attention to you and your
vehicle. To turn this feature off, either push the panic
button again or turn the ignition to RUN. This feature
will not work if your ignition is on or if the transmitter is
30 feet (9 m) or more away from your vehicle.
Transmitter Verification
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
keyless entry transmitter that a command has been
received by the keyless entry receiver. The headlamps
and parking lamps will flash on every lock and unlock
command and the horn will sound only if the LOCK
button is pressed twice within five seconds. This allows
for silent operation of locking and unlocking, unless a
confirming horn chirp is desired. Other options may be
selected for this feature (see ªFeature Customizationº in
the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Have each transmitter you intend to match ready for the
next steps. To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN, then to OFF. This will
disarm the theft
-deterrent system.
2. Remove the RADIO fuse (Fuse 17). This fuse is
located in the main fuse block, which is located on
the left side of your main instrument panel. When
the fuse block is open the radio fuse is located on the
lower right hand corner of your instrument panel.

Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with the
transmitter will immediately arm the system. The horn
will chirp twice and the headlamps and parking lamps
will flash, confirming that the system is armed if that
mode is selected. If any door is open when the
transmitter LOCK button is pressed, the system goes
into an armed wait mode, waiting for the doors to close.
Once they are closed, the system will arm and the
headlamps and parking lamps will flash. If the tailgate
or panel doors are open or ajar at the time the system is
arming, the headlamps and parking lamps flash once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch is
pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and the parking lamps will flash. If both
of the doors are closed when the power lock switch is
pressed, the system assumes you are inside the vehicle,
so it will not arm. Locking the doors by using the
manual door locks will not arm the system.Passive Arming
If the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter or
the power door lock switch is pressed, the system will
arm immediately. If the ignition was just turned off and
a door was opened, the system will arm six seconds after
the doors, tailgate or panel doors are closed, whether or
not you lock them with the manual door lock. If a door
is opened without the ignition being turned on, the
system will wait 30 seconds after the doors, tailgate or
panel doors are closed before arming, allowing you time
to get into the vehicle and put the key in the ignition.
The parking lamps will flash when the system arms.
Passive arming is not enabled from the factory.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry
transmitter. If the horn chirps two or three times
when you unlock the vehicle, the alarm sounded in
your absence. Two chirps means that the shock
sensor was set off and three chirps means that a door,
tailgate or the panel doors were opened.
2. Turn the ignition to RUN with the proper key.

mentioned here, see ªFeature Customizationº in the Index.

Your vehicle comes with the theft-deterrent arming
verification set in Mode 3. This means that if you arm
the system using the keyless entry transmitter, your
headlamps and parking lamps will flash and your horn
will chirp twice to verify that the system is armed. If it
only chirps once, the tailgate or the panel doors are open
or unlatched. In addition, if the system did not arm, the
horn will chirp once and the theft
-deterrent indicator on
the center floor console will not flash. If you arm the
system using either the power door lock switch or by
passive arming, only the headlamps and parking lamps
will flash for verification. To change the factory setting,
do the following:
1. Press the LOCK switch on the keyless
entry transmitter.
2. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is
set for.
3. Press the LOCK switch on the keyless entry

The transfer case switches are below and to the left of
the climate controls. Use these switches to shift into and
out of four
-wheel drive. You can choose among four
driving settings:
2HI: This setting is used for driving in most situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two
-wheel drive. This
setting also provides the best fuel economy.
AUTO 4WD: This setting is ideal for use when road
conditions are variable. When driving your vehicle in
AUTO 4WD, the front axle is engaged, but the vehicle'spower is sent only to the rear wheels. When the vehicle
senses a loss of traction, the system will automatically
engage four
-wheel drive. Driving in this mode results in
lower fuel economy than 2HI.
4HI: Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as on
snowy or icy roads or in most off
-road situations. This
setting also engages your front axle to help drive
your vehicle.
4LO: This setting also engages your front axle and
delivers extra torque. You may never need 4LO. It sends
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose
4LO if you are driving off
-road in deep sand, deep mud,
deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission
is in PARK (P). You or someone else could be
seriously injured. Be sure to set the parking
brake before placing the transfer case in
NEUTRAL. See ªParking Brakeº in the Index.

Locking Rear Axle
Your locking 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.
Windows
Power Windows
The power window controls are located on each of the
side doors.The driver's door has a switch for the passenger
windows as well. Your power windows will work when
the ignition has been turned to ACCESSORY or RUN or
when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is present. See
ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.
Push the rear of the switch with the power window
symbol on it to lower the window.
Push the front of the switch with the power window
symbol on it to raise the window.
The driver's window switch has an express
-down
feature that allows the window to be lowered without
holding the switch. Press and hold the side of the
window switch marked AUTO for one second to
activate the express
-down mode. The express-down
mode can be canceled at any time by pressing the
opposite side of the switch. To open the window
partway, lightly tap the switch until the window is at the
desired position.
The power window switch has a lockout feature. This
feature prevents the passenger's windows from
operating except from the driver's position, when the
front driver's side switch is in LOCK. When the switch
is moved to NORM, the rear power windows will
operate again.
