Opening the Tailgate
To open the tailgate, the vehicle must be in PARK (P)
and the doors must be unlocked. To open the tailgate to
a ¯at position, the tailgate glass must ®rst be fully
lowered. Once the tailgate glass has been fully lowered,
open the tailgate by grasping its handle near the
middle and pulling the gate toward you.
To close the tailgate, use the integrated pocket at the
top of the tailgate. Firmly push the tailgate upward until it
latches. Do not grab the wiper arm/blade to close the
tailgate.
Notice:Closing the tailgate using the wiper
arm/blade may damage the vehicle. Close the
tailgate using only the pocket.
To swing the tailgate out, grasp the tailgate by its
handle near the driver's side. If the tailgate glass is fully

seal. If you release the handle before the tailgate opens,
the glass will return to the fully closed position.
The tailgate may then be swung out.
To close the tailgate, ®rmly push it toward the vehicle

supporting heavy loads and to support four foot by eight
foot building material when placed in the secondary
position. In the secondary position, the tailgate is raised
approximately six degrees. With the tailgate in the ¯at
position, remove the prop rod from the retaining clip on
the driver's side. Rotate the rod forward and engage the
end of the slotted stud on the side of the vehicle opening.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may be
equipped with a content
theft-deterrent alarm
system.
Here's how to operate the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The security
light should come on and stay on.3. Close all doors. The security light should turn off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light turns off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The
headlamps and parking lamps will ¯ash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn
off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won't activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual
door lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if
the alarm has been set off.
Here's how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
·If you don't want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key
afterthe doors are closed.
·Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door with
the key. You can also turn off the alarm by pressing
unlock on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm
won't stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
2-22

Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver's window
and open the driver's door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
When the alarm is set the power door unlock switch is
not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps ¯ash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-93.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
¯ash, the vehicle should be serviced by your dealer.
Passlockž
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Passlockžtheft-deterrent system.
Passlock
žis a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlockženables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the
ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel system
is disabled and the vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the security light will turn off
approximately ®ve seconds after the key is turned
to RUN.
If the engine stalls and the security light ¯ashes, wait
about 10 minutes until the light stops ¯ashing before
trying to restart the engine. Remember to release
the key from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the vehicle
needs service.
If the engine is running and the security light comes on,
you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the
engine off. However, your Passlock
žsystem is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock
žat this
time. You may also want to check the fuse. See your
dealer for service.

Automatic Transfer Case
If your vehicle is equipped
with four-wheel drive, the
transfer case knob is
located to the right of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel. Use this
knob to shift into and
out of four-wheel drive.
2HI (Two-Wheel High):This setting is for driving in
most street and highway situations. Your front axle is not
engaged in two-wheel drive. It also provides the best
fuel economy.A4WD (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive):This setting is
ideal for use when road conditions are variable.
When driving your vehicle in A4WD, the front axle is
engaged, but the vehicle's power is sent 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 slightly lower fuel
economy than 2HI.
4HI (Four-Wheel High):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 (Four-Wheel Low):This setting also engages
your front axle and delivers extra torque. It sends
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose
4LO if you are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud,
and climbing or descending steep hills.

{CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the

one will stay on. If the lights do not come on, you should
take your vehicle to your dealer for service. An
indicator light will ¯ash while shifting the transfer case.
It will remain illuminated when the shift is complete.
If for some reason the transfer case cannot make
a requested shift, it will return to the last chosen setting.If the service four-wheel drive light on the instrument
