Rollover Warning
WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing
loss of control of the vehicle.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement
and possible injury or damage.

CAUTION!
• If your vehicle battery becomes low or dead, your Key Fob will become locked
in the ignition.
• Do not attempt to remove the Key Fob while in this condition, damage could
occur to the Key Fob or ignition module. Only remove the emergency key for
locking and unlocking the doors.
• Leave the Key Fob in the ignition and either:
• Jump Start the vehicle.

• Contact your dealer for assistance on how to remove the Key Fob using
the manual over ride method.
WARNING!
• Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do
not leave the Key Fob inside the vehicle or in the ignition. A child could start
the vehicle, operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather.
Interior heat build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.

Accel/Decel
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will
increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).
Resume
• To resume a previously selected set speed in memory, push the RES + button and
release.
Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and
maintain the set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly
the same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a
specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front
of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a
standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
Accel/Decel (ACC Only)
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will
increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
• Push and hold the RES + button to accelerate in 5mph (10 km/h) increments or
push and hold the SET – button to decelerate in 5mph (10 km/h) increments;
release the button to save the new set speed.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each
time the button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium
(2), and short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next
time the vehicle is restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This
distance setting displays in the EVIC.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can
be operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard
(fixed speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and
the system will maintain the speed you set.

• To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF,
READY, or SET position. Cruise Off will be displayed if the system was in ACC
READY, ACC SET or the ACC OFF position. To switch back to Adaptive Cruise
Control mode, press the MODE button a second time.
• Each press of the MODE button will be followed by an audible chime.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the driver of a potential collision with the
vehicle in front of you and prompts the driver to take action in order to avoid the
collision. A warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed on the
EVIC.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use
is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster
than you want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the
Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions,
and you could lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation
to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e.,
a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles
and will not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and
will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/
Precautions
• This system contains a single-speed
(HI range only) transfer case, which
provides convenient full-time
all-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.
NOTE:This system is not appropriate for
conditions where AWD LOW range is
recommended. Refer to “Off-Road Driving
Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the
DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case
(Three-Position Switch)
• This is an electronic shift transfer
case and is operated by the AWD
Control Switch (Transfer Case
Switch), which is located on the
center console.• This electronically shifted transfer
case provides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range
(AWD AUTO)
• All-wheel drive low range (LOW
RANGE)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
• When additional traction is required,
the LOW RANGE position can be
used to lock the front and rear
driveshafts together forcing the front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed. The LOW RANGE position are
designed for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Driving in the LOW
RANGE positions on dry hard
surfaced roads may cause increased
tire wear and damage to the driveline
components.
• When operating your vehicle in LOW
RANGE, the engine speed is
approximately three times that of the
AWD HI position at a given road
speed. Take care not to overspeed
the engine and do not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:The “SERV AWD Warning Light”
monitors the electronic shift all-wheel
drive system. If this light remains on after
engine start up or illuminates during
driving, it means that the all-wheel drive
system is not functioning properly and
that service is required.
