passenger’s position, or in the second row
outboard positions of a SUT model, if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be attached,
or if the instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must be attached.
There is no place to attach the top tether in
this position.

FIRST (1):This position reduces vehicle speed
even more than SECOND (2) without using
your brakes. You can use it on very steep hills, or
in deep snow or mud. If the shift lever is put in
FIRST (1) while the vehicle is moving forward, the
transmission will not shift into rst gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.
Notice:Spinning the tires or holding the
vehicle in one place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage the
transmission. The repair will not be covered by
your warranty. If you are stuck, do not spin
the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the
brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
On cold days, approximately 32°F (0°C) or colder,
your transmission is designed to shift differently
until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature. This is intended to improve heater
performance.Tow/Haul Mode
Your vehicle is equipped
with a tow/haul mode.
The button is located on
the instrument panel
to the right of the
steering wheel.
You can use this feature to assist when towing or
hauling a heavy load. See “Tow/Haul Mode”
underTowing a Trailer on page 374for more

Do not use the this system with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop and reverse
feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you in programming
the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control
transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for
future programming. You only need the original
remote control transmitter for xed code
programming. It is also recommended that upon
the sale or lease termination of the vehicle,
the programmed buttons should be erased for
security purposes. See “Erasing your Universal
Home Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the
garage door or security device you are
programming. When programming a garage door,
it is advised to park outside of the garage.If you do not know if your garage door opener is a
xed code or rolling code device, open your
garage door opener’s remote control battery cover.
Your garage door opener is a xed code device
if there is a panel of switches. If not, your
garage door opener is a rolling code device.
