Programming A Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after1995. These Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or
“TRAIN” button located where the hanging antenna is attached to the
Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is normally used to open
and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
• Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The Homelink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after Homelink® has
received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
• At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor. Firmly press
and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE: You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the
LEARN button has been pressed.
• Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink® buttontwice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is
plugged in and activates, programming is complete.
NOTE: If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two
seconds) to complete the training.
• To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step foreach remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

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 button.
This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, the transmission will shift into third gear.
NOTE:The TOW/HAUL mode locks
out Overdrive.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light”will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate when the
switch 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.
RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
Recreational Towing — Two-Wheel Drive Models
• Recreational towing is allowed if the rear wheels are OFFthe ground.
This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a
tow dolly, follow this procedure:
• Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
• Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly, firmly set the parking brake and place the transmission in PARK.
• Turn the ignition switch to the unlocked OFF position.
• Install a suitable clamping device, designed for towing, to secure the front wheels in the straight position.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable and secure it away from the battery post.
• Flat towing (with all four wheels on the ground) is allowed ONLY if the
driveshaft is removed. Towing with the rear wheels on the ground while
the driveshaft is connected will result in severe transmission damage.

• The parking brakemustbe firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is securely and properly connected to
the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper driveshaft removal and reinstallation
procedures, including flange orientation/alignment, use of thread-locking
compound, proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
Towing – Four-Wheel Drive Models
• Depress the brake pedal and turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN
with the engine shut off.
• Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL by holding down the
NEUTRAL Pin switch for four
seconds until the LED starts to
blink. The LED will stop blinking
and remain on when the shift is
complete.
• Start the engine and shift into DRIVE to ensure there is no vehicle movement.
• Shut the engine off and shift the transmission into PARK.
• Place the ignition switch in the OFF position and remove the key.
• Apply the parking brake, attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle with a tow bar and release the parking brake.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
Towing with the rear wheels on the ground (while the driveshaft is
connected) will cause severe transmission damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
WARNING!
• If the driveshaft is removed, the vehicle can roll even if the transmission is in PARK, which could cause serious injury or death.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/MalfunctionIndicator Light
• If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as
possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed
and driving to the prevailing road conditions. To improve the vehicle's
traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be
desirable to switch the ESC system off.
- 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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
79

• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tiremaintenance, 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.
• 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.
NOTE: Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C)
of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is
68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire
inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi
(7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
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.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature
reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
