STARTING PROCEDURESBefore starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten
your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other
occupants to buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leav-
ing unattended children in a vehicle is danger-
ous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Do not
leave the key fob in the ignition switch. A child
could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
Automatic TransmissionThe shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL or
PARK position before you can start the engine.
Apply the brakes before shifting into any driv-
ing gear.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
•Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and
the engine is at idle speed.
• Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or
NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the
engine is above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Using Fob With Integrated Key (Tip Start)
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pressing the accelerator pedal.
Do not press the accelerator. Use the Fob with
Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch
to the START position and release it as soon as
the starter engages. The starter motor will con-
tinue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running. If the engine fails to
start, the starter will disengage automatically in
10 seconds. If this occurs, turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 sec-
onds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” proce-
dure.
Keyless Enter-N-Go
This feature allows the
driver to operate the ig-
nition switch with the
push of a button, as long
as the ENGINE START/
STOP button is installed
and the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter
is in the passenger com-
partment.

sive shifting and heat buildup. This action
will also provide better engine braking.
The transmission fluid and filter should be
changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
NOTE:
Check the transmission fluid level before
towing (5.7L engine).
To help maintain a comfortable operating
temperature for your transmission, it is rec-
ommended that when towing a maximum
loaded trailer up steep grades with switch
backs, you should use the ERS function on
the transmission shifter to lock your vehicle
into first gear (5.7L Models Only).
Electronic Speed Control – If Equipped
Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
When using the speed control, if you expe-rience speed drops greater than 10 mph
(16 km/h), disengage until you can get back
to cruising speed. Use speed control in flat terrain and with light
loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transmission
overheating, take the following actions:
City Driving
When stopped for short periods of time, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and increase
engine idle speed.
Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily.
Trailer Hitch Attaching Points
Your vehicle will require extra equipment to tow
a trailer safely and efficiently. The trailer tow
hitch must be attached to your vehicle using
the provided attaching points on the vehicle’s
frame. Refer to the following chart to determine
the accurate attaching points. Other equip-
ment, such as trailer sway controls and braking
equipment, trailer equalizing (leveling) equip-
ment and low profile mirrors, may also be
required or strongly recommended.
