ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission andaxle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE:A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an
indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist
• Tap the lever up or down once and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three times and automatically turn off.
• Vehicles equipped with Blind Spot Monitoring will produce a visual alert and may be programmed to produce an audible alert when signaling a lane change; refer to your
Owner’s Manual on the DVD for operation.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows youto limit the highest available transmission
gear, and can be activated during any
driving condition. When towing a trailer or
operating the vehicle in off-road
conditions, using ERS shift control will
help you maximize both performance and
engine braking.
• To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, move the shift lever to the left (-) once.
The current gear will be maintained as the
top gear. To disable ERS, simply press and
hold the shift lever to the right (+) until
“D” is displayed in the instrument cluster
odometer.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE
• The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy duringnormal driving conditions.
• Press the “econ” switch in the center stack of the instrument panel and a green light will indicate the ECON mode is engaged.

• When the Fuel Economy (ECON) Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will beable to change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later.
• The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to allow the engine to operate at lower speeds.
• The torque converter clutch will engage sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and remain on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
