• 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:

• Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLink®button and the
hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLink®indicator flash rate changes
from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink®and the
hand-held transmitter buttons. This may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare
cases.
• Press and hold the just-programmed HomeLink
®button; if the indicator light stays
on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door should open.
NOTE:
• Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety standards. This includes most garage door
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.
Using HomeLink
®
• To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink®button and the
programmed device will operate.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further details. If you have any
problems programming HomeLink
®, or require assistance, please call toll-free
1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming
the universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are
in the path of the door or gate.

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.
