opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at
www.HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance.
• If you are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
®and your garage door
opener was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code. Follow the steps
below for Programming A Rolling Code System.
Programming A Rolling Code System
• At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or
“programming” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire
is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to
open and close the door).
• Firmly press and release the “learn” or “programming” button. The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer. Within 30 seconds, return to the vehicle
and press the programmed HomeLink
®button twice (holding the button for two
seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is
complete.
• If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to
complete the programming.

WARNING!(Continued)
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you and others to be severely injured
or killed.
POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power
inverter outlet 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.
• Press the switch located in the switch
bank on the lower instrument panel to
turn the power inverter on. The
indicator light will turn on to indicate
the inverter is producing AC power.
• Press the switch again to turn the power inverter off. The indicator light will turn
off.
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.

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.

Shifting Procedures
AWD AUTO To LOW RANGE
NOTE:When shifting into or out of LOW
RANGE some gear noise may be heard.
This noise is normal and is not
detrimental to the vehicle or occupants.
• Shifting can be performed with the
vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h) or completely stopped. Use
either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure
• With the engine running, slow the
vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
• Shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• While still rolling, rotate the transfer
case control switch to the desired
position.
• After the desired position indicator
light is ON (not flashing), shift the
transmission back into gear.
Alternate Procedure
• Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
• With the ignition switch in the ON
position and the engine either OFF or
running, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• Rotate the transfer case control
switch to the desired position.
• After the desired position indicator
light is ON (not flashing), shift the
transmission back into gear.NOTE:
• If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred
or Alternate Procedure are not satisfied
prior to attempting the shift or if they
no longer are being met while the shift
attempt is in process, the desired
position indicator light will flash
continuously while the original position
indicator light is ON, until all
requirements have been met.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for a shift to take place and for
the position indicator lights to be
operable. If the ignition switch is not in
the ON position, then the shift will not
take place and no position indicator
lights will be on or flashing.
WARNING!
• Always engage the parking brake
when powering down the vehicle if
the “SERV AWD Warning Light” is
illuminated. Not engaging the
parking brake may allow the
vehicle to roll which may cause
personal injury.
• You or others could be injured if
you leave the vehicle unattended
with the transfer case in the
NEUTRAL position without first
fully engaging the parking brake.
The transfer case 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.

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a
trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,
and frequent transmission shifting
occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch
to select TOW/HAUL mode. This will
improve performance and reduce the
potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to
excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, transmission
upshifts are delayed, and the
transmission will automatically
downshift (for engine braking) during
steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light”
will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL
mode has been activated. Pressing
the switch a second time restores
normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL
mode is desired, the switch must be
pressed each time the engine is
started.

case.
All-Wheel Drive Models (Two-Speed
Transfer Case)
NOTE:The transfer case must be in the
NEUTRAL position, and the transmission
must be in the PARK position for
recreational towing.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL
• Use the following procedure to
prepare your vehicle for recreational
towing.
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop
and shift the transmission to PARK.
Turn the engine off.
• For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
remove the Keyless Enter-N-Go
button and use the Key Fob to
complete this procedure.
• Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position, but do not start
the engine.
• Press and hold the brake pedal and
shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• Press and hold the transfer case N
(Neutral) button for four seconds,
until the light next to the N symbol
starts to blink, indicating shift in
progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the shift to N
(Neutral) is complete.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER
INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue each time the vehicle is
restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
64

• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped
on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result
when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant
from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as
damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or
the parking 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.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake
system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a
collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light
stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
