POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverteroutlet located on the back of the center
console. This outlet can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.

AC power.
NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset.
If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be
reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To
avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using
the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not insert any
objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the lid when not in
use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION
Quadra-Trac I®Operating
Instructions/Precautions
• The Quadra-Trac I®is a single-speed
(HI range only) transfer case, which
provides convenient full-time
four–wheel drive. No driver interaction
is required. The Brake Traction Control
(BTC) System, which combines
standard ABS and Traction Control,
provides resistance to any wheel that is
slipping to allow additional torque
transfer to wheels with traction.
Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive
II®Operating Instructions/
Precautions
• The Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive II®
transfer case is fully automatic in the
normal driving 4WD HI mode. The
Quadra-Trac II
®/Quadra-Drive II®
transfer case provides three mode
positions:
• 4WD HI
• NEUTRAL
• 4WD LOW
• This transfer case is fully automatic in the 4WD HI mode. • When additional traction is required,
the 4WD LOW position can be used to
lock the front and rear driveshafts
together and force the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed.
The 4WD LOW position is intended for
loose, slippery road surfaces only.
Driving in the 4WD LOW position on dry,
hard-surfaced roads may cause
increased tire wear and damage to
driveline components.
• When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, the engine speed is
approximately three times that of the
4WD HI position at a given road speed.
Take care not to overspeed the engine
and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor
temperature protection condition
exists, a “CHECK SHIFT PROCEDURES”
message will flash from the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the N (Neutral)
position without first fully engaging
the parking brake. The transfer case
N (Neutral) position disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from
the powertrain and will allow the
vehicle to move regardless of the
transmission position. The parking
brake should always be applied when
the driver is not in the vehicle.

OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
Towing - Two-Wheel Drive
Models
• Recreational towing is allowed ONLY ifthe driveshaft is removed. Towing with
the rear wheels on the ground while
the driveshaft is connected can result
in severe transmission damage.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which could
cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to the
tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper driveshaft
removal and reinstallation procedures,
including flange orientation/alignment,
use of thread-locking compound,
proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
Towing - Quadra-Trac I®
(Single-Speed Transfer Case)
Four-Wheel Drive Models
• Recreational towing is not allowed. Thismodel does not have a NEUTRAL
position in the transfer case.
Towing - Quadra-Trac II®
/Quadra-Drive II®Four-Wheel
Drive Models
• Depress the brake pedal and turn the
ignition switch ON with the engine shut
off.
• Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL by holding down the NEUTRAL Pin
switch for four seconds until the LED
starts to blink. The LED will stop
blinking and remain on when the shift
is complete.
• Start the engine and shift into DRIVE to ensure there is no vehicle movement.
• Shut the engine off and shift the transmission into PARK.
• Place the ignition switch in the OFF position and remove the key.
• Apply the parking brake, attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle with a tow
bar and release the parking brake.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

24 HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE - U.S. ONLY
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If youfeel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will
contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light
• If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. Whiledriving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESP system off.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your instrumentcluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four road tires are
significantly under-inflated.
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening. The TPMS light
should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will turn off
after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure has been
recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(25 km/h) before the light will turn off.
• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you should not
adjust for this increased pressure.
• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.
- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or theparking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock
Brake System problem.
• We recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
