Auxiliary Devices
The vehicle may have a rear entertainment system
(RSE) with a second and third row screen. The RSE
has audio adapters to allow you to connect auxiliary
devices. The audio can be heard through the speakers
or through the wireless or wired headphones. See
“Audio/Video Jacks”under,Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
on page 4‑77for more information.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). See Defensive Driving
on page 6‑2for more information on driver distraction.
To switch the RSE system to use an auxiliary device:
1. Connect the auxiliary device to the RSE system, for the second or third row.
2. Press the AUDIO key then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX (auxiliary) is selected or touch
the AUX screen button. An auxiliary device must
be connected for the AUX screen button to appear
as an option to select.
3. For the second row display select the Rear AUX screen button next to Rear Display 1 and for the
third row display select the Rear AUX screen
button next to Rear Display 2. Each screen works
independently of the other. The second row screen
can watch a DVD while the third row screen can

The rear seat passengers can also use the remote
control to change the functions of the RSE. See Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) System
on page 4‑77for
more information.

.Always carry a litter bag and make sure all refuse
is removed from any campsite before leaving.
.Take extreme care with open fires (where
permitted), camp stoves, and lanterns.
.Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other
combustible materials that could catch fire from
the heat of the vehicle's exhaust system.
Traveling to Remote Areas
It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going
to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route.
Get accurate maps of trails and terrain. Check to see if
there are any blocked or closed roads.
It is also a good idea to travel with at least one other
vehicle in case something happens to one of them.
For vehicles with a winch, be sure to read the winch
instructions. In a remote area, a winch can be handy
if you get stuck but you will want to know how to
use it properly.
Getting Familiar with Off-Road Driving
It is a good idea to practice in an area that is safe and
close to home before you go into the wilderness.
Off-roading requires some new and different skills.Tune your senses to different kinds of signals.
Your eyes need to constantly sweep the terrain for
unexpected obstacles. Your ears need to listen for
unusual tire or engine sounds. Use your arms,
hands, feet, and body to respond to vibrations and
vehicle bounce.
Controlling the vehicle is the key to successful off-road
driving. One of the best ways to control the vehicle is to
control the speed. At higher speeds:
.You approach things faster and have less time
to react.
.There is less time to scan the terrain for obstacles.
.The vehicle has more bounce when driving
over obstacles.
.More braking distance is needed, especially on
an unpaved surface.
{WARNING:
When you are driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily throw you
out of position. This could cause you to lose
control and crash. So, whether you are driving on
or off the road, you and your passengers should
wear safety belts.
6-16

There is also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. See“Loading Your
Vehicle for Off-Road Driving” underOff-Road
Driving
on page 6‑13.
Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need
to put a limit on how many people you can carry
inside the vehicle. Be sure to weigh the vehicle
before you buy and install the new equipment.
Notice :Overloading the vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not overload the vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load the vehicle can carry. It does
not include the weight of the people inside. But
you can figure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than the
vehicle's CWR.
Automatic Level Control
The automatic level control rear suspension
comes as a part of the Road Sensing Suspension.
See Road Sensing Suspension
on page 6‑9.
This type of level control is fully automatic and will
provide a better leveled riding position as well as
better handling under a variety of passenger and
loading conditions. An air compressor connected
to the rear shocks will raise or lower the rear of
the vehicle to maintain proper vehicle height.
The system is activated when the ignition key is
turned to ON/RUN and will automatically adjust
vehicle height thereafter. The system may exhaust
(lower vehicle height) for up to 10 minutes after
the ignition key has been turned to OFF/LOCK.
You may hear the air compressor operating when
the height is being adjusted.
