WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
LIGHTS
Headlight SwitchThe headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel, next to the steering wheel.
The headlight switch controls the operation of the
headlights, parking lights, instrument panel lights,
cargo lights and fog lights (if equipped).
To turn on the headlights, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise. When
the headlight switch is on the park-
ing lights, taillights, license plate
light and instrument panel lights
are also turned on. To turn off the
headlights, rotate the headlight switch back to
the O (Off) position. NOTE:
•
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlight and fog light (if equipped)
lenses that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass lights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass
and therefore different lens cleaning pro-
cedures must be followed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratching
the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove
road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive mate-
rials to clean the lenses.

Automatic Headlight Leveling — HID
Headlights Only
This feature prevents the headlights from inter-
fering with the vision of oncoming drivers.
Headlight leveling automatically adjusts the
height of the headlight beam in reaction to
changes in vehicle pitch.
Headlight DelayTo aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is turned OFF while
the headlight switch is on, and then the head-
light switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can be
cancelled by either turning the headlight switch
on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Parking Lights And Panel Lights
To turn on the parking lights and instru-
ment panel lights, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise. To turn off the park-
ing lights, rotate the headlight switch back to the
O (Off) position.
Front And Rear Fog Lights — If
Equipped
The front and rear fog lights may be operated as
desired when visibility is poor due to fog. The
fog lights will activate in the following order:
Press the headlight switch once and the front
fog lights come on. Press the switch a second
time and the rear fog lights will come on (front
fog lights stay on). Press the switch a third time
and the rear fog lights turn off (front fog stays
on). Press the switch a fourth times and the
front fog turns off. For vehicles without front fog,
rear fog will activate on the first press.
NOTE:
The headlight switch must first be turned to
the position lights or headlights position
before the fog lamp switch can be pushed in.
Interior LightsCourtesy and dome lights are turned on when the
front doors are opened, when the dimmer control
(rotating wheel on the right side of the headlight
switch) is rotated to the its farthest upward posi-
tion, or if equipped, when the UNLOCK button is
pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. When a door is open and the interior
lights are on, rotating the dimmer control all the
way down, to the OFF detent, will cause all the
interior lights to go out. This is also known as the
“Party” mode because it allows the doors to stay
open for extended periods of time without dis-
charging the vehicle’s battery.

4.Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON/
RUN position. It should go out with
the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction
has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.
NOTE:
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN. Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN,
the ESC system will be ON, even if it was
turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or click-
ing sounds when it is active. This is normal;
the sounds will stop when ESC becomes
inactive following the maneuver that caused
the ESC activation.
5.
TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the
TOW/HAUL button has been se-
lected. The TOW/HAUL button is lo-
cated in the center of the instrument
panel (below the climate controls).
6. Turn Signal IndicatorThe arrows will flash with the exterior
turn signals when the turn signal lever
is operated. A tone will chime, and an
EVIC message will appear if the turn signals are
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if
either indicator flashes at a rapid rate. 7. High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high
beam.
8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the
front fog lights are on.
9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light — If
Equipped The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Decent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can only
be armed when the transfer case is
in the “4WD Low” position and the vehicle
speed is less then 30 mph (48 km/h). If these
conditions are not met while attempting to use
the HDC feature, the HDC indicator lamp will
flash on/off.

der the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the
Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
26. Rear Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the
rear fog lights are on.ELECTRONIC VEHICLE

Panel ModeAir comes from the outlets in the in-
strument panel. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct
the flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located
below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets, floor outlets and defrost outlets.
NOTE:
In many temperature positions, the Bi–Level
mode is designed to provide cooler air out of
the panel outlets and warmer air from the
floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, defrost and
side window demist outlets. This mode
works best in cold or snowy conditions.
It allows you to stay comfortable while keeping
the windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and
side window demist outlets. Use De-
frost mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side window
defrosting. When the defrost mode is selected,
the blower will automatically default to medium-
high unless the blower is controlled manually.
NOTE:
While operating in the other modes, the
system will not automatically sense the
presence of fog, mist or ice on the wind-
shield. Defrost mode must be manually se-
lected to clear the windshield and side
glass. Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system. When in A/C mode and
the ATC is set to a cool temperature, dehumidi-
fied air flows through the air outlets. If Economy
mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn off
the A/C mode in the ATC display and deactivate
the A/C system. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level or Floor modes.
NOTE:
•
If the system is in Mix, Floor or Defrost
Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the
A/C system shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side glass, select Defrost mode and in-
crease blower speed.

High Intensity Discharge Headlamps
(HID) – If Equipped
The headlamps are a type of high voltage
discharge tube. High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the headlamp switch off and
the key removed. Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp bulb your-
self. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
