pushing the front of the switch a second time.
The sunroof has four positions:
Comfort open stop:To open the sunroof and
sunshade, press the rear of the switch quickly
and release. The glass panel will open to
an interim position that reduces wind noise.

press the rear of the switch quickly once more.
Express close:To close the sunroof, press the
front of the switch quickly and release.
Vent:The vent position allows the rear of the
sunroof to be opened and tilted upward. With
the sunroof in the fully closed position, press
and hold the front of the switch until the sunroof
reaches the desired vent position or until it
stops moving. To close the sunroof from the
vent position, press and hold the rear of the
switch until the sunroof is fully closed.

time as debris may collect in the tracks.

the glass panel will stop and open fully.
If the sunroof panel receives a strong impact, the
anti-pinch protection feature may work even if
nothing gets caught between the glass panel and
roof frame.

To turn off the DRL lamps, turn the exterior lamps
control to the OFF position and then release.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada, the transaxle
must be in the PARK (P) position, before the
DRL lamps can be turned off.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside and the headlamp
switch is in AUTO, your automatic headlamp
system will turn on your headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps such as the
taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps, roof marker
lamps, and the instrument panel lights. The radio
lights will also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn the
exterior lamps switch to the off position and then
release. For vehicles rst sold in Canada, the
transaxle must be in the PARK (P) position, before
the automatic headlamp system can be turned off.
Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top
of the instrument panel. Be sure it is not
covered, or the system will be on whenever the
ignition is on.The system may also turn on your headlamps
when driving through a parking garage, heavy
overcast weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp
systems so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.
The DRL and automatic headlamp system will only
be affected when the light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take approximately one minute for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
light outside. During that delay, your instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure your instrument panel brightness control is
in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 191.

Off-Road Lamps
Notice:If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not have enough
clearance for any roof-mounted accessories
(such as off-road lamps or a roof basket)
on your vehicle, you can damage your vehicle.
To avoid damaging your vehicle in a car
wash, remove any roof-mounted accessories if
you can, and do not use an automatic car
wash while roof-mounted accessories are on
your vehicle. SeeWashing Your Vehicle
on page 495for more information.
The off-road lamps, if equipped, provide auxiliary
lighting when your vehicle is used off road.
These lamps are not intended to be used in
conjunction with, or in place of, existing vehicle
lighting. The lamps are not to be used on
any public street or highway and are to be covered
when not in use. Check your state and local
laws before installing or using any auxiliary
lighting. In some states it may be necessary to
remove the roof lamps when operating the vehicle
on the highway.The button for the off-road lamps is located in the
overhead console.
To use the lamps, be sure the engine is running.
Remove the covers from the lamps and press
the button to turn them on. Press the button again
to turn them off. An indicator light will glow near
the button when the lamps are on.
Notice:Turning on the off-road lamps before
removing the lamp covers could damage
the off-road lamps and the covers. Always
return the lamps to the upright position
and remove the covers before turning on the
off-road lamps.
The off-road lamps will remain on even after the
ignition is turned off. The off-road lamps button
must be pressed to turn them off.
Loading objects onto the off-road light bar may
cause damage to the light bar or off road lamps.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not load objects on the off-road light bar.

Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD or DVD lens cleaners for CDs or
DVDs are not advised, due to the risk of
contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD or DVD mechanism.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can withstand most car
washes without being damaged. If the mast should
ever become slightly bent, straighten it out by
hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened.
XM™ Satellite Radio
Antenna System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on
the roof of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of
snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of
the XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof
is open.Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can
interfere with the performance of the XM™ system.
Make sure the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is
not obstructed.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime
level. To change the volume level of the chime,
press and hold pushbutton 6 with the ignition
on and the radio power off. The volume level will
change from the normal level to loud, and
LOUD CHIME will appear on the radio display.
To change back to the default or normal setting,
press and hold pushbutton 6 again. The volume
level will change from the loud level to normal,
and NORMAL CHIME will appear on the
radio display. Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or chime module
will disable vehicle chimes.

Before You Go Off-Roading
There are some things to do before you go out.
For example, be sure to have all necessary
maintenance and service work done. Check to
make sure all underbody shields are properly
attached. Remove any removable side steps.
SeeAssist Steps on page 338. Make sure any
equipment you may need — rst aid kit, cell phone,
ashlight, etc. — is securely stored in the vehicle.
Be sure you read all the information about your
four-wheel-drive vehicle in this manual. Is there
enough fuel? Is the spare tire fully inated? Are the
uid levels up where they should be? What are the
local laws that apply to off-roading where you will be
driving? If you do not know, you should check with
law enforcement people in the area. Will you be on
someone’s private land? If so, be sure to get the
necessary permission.
Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road
Driving
{CAUTION:
Cargo on the load oor piled higher
than the seatbacks can be thrown
forward during a sudden stop. You or
your passengers could be injured.
Keep cargo below the top of the
seatbacks.
Unsecured cargo on the load oor can
be tossed about when driving over
rough terrain. You or your passengers
can be struck by ying objects.
Secure the cargo properly.
Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity, making it
more likely to roll over. You can be
seriously or fatally injured if the
vehicle rolls over. Put heavy loads
inside the cargo area, not on the roof.
Keep cargo in the cargo area as far
forward and low as possible.
