TABLE OF CONTENTS

Emergency Key
• Should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob transmitter go dead, there is an emergencykey located in the Key Fob. To remove the emergency key, slide the button at the back of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.
• The emergency key is also for locking the glove compartment.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or
damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and
do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume maybe controlled using the radio or portable device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
2. USB Port
• Connect your iPod® or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USB Memory sticks with audio files can also be used. Then, audio from the device can be played on the
vehicles sound system while providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.) information on
the radio display.
• When connected, the iPod®/compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the
contents.
• The iPod® battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific device).
• To route the USB/iPod® cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
NOTE:
When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take several minutes to
read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system will take approxi-
mately five minutes for every 1000 songs loaded on the device. Also during the reading process,
the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This process is needed to ensure the full use of
your iPod® features and only happens the first time it is connected. After the first time, the
reading process of your iPod® will take considerably less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone® devices. The USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage Class memory
devices. Some iPod® software versions may not fully support the USB port features. Please visit
Apple’s website for iPod® software updates.
3. SD Card
• Play songs stored on an SD card inserted into the SD card slot.
• Song playback can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
4. Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
• If equipped with Uconnect® Voice Command, your Bluetooth-equipped iPod® devices, cell phones or other media players, may also be able to stream music to your vehicle's sound
system. Your connected device must be Bluetooth-compatible, and paired with your
Uconnect® system (see Uconnect® Phone for pairing instructions). You can access the music
from your connected Bluetooth® device by touching the Source soft-key while in Player mode.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(HomeLink®)
• HomeLink® replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as garagedoor openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is
powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor designate the three different HomeLink® channels.
• The HomeLink® indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming
HomeLink®
• Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin programming.
• For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device that is being programmed to the
HomeLink® system.
• Erase all channels before you begin pro- gramming. To erase the channels, place the
ignition switch into the ON/RUN position,
then press and hold the two outside
HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the first time.
Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. 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.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. 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.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.

Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will now occurfor the programmed device (e.g., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry
door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time.
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.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can cause you
and others to be severely injured or killed.

• There are three 12 Volt electrical outlets onthis vehicle.
• The front 12 Volt power outlet has power available only when the ignition is placed in
the ACC or RUN position.
• The center console outlet is powered di- rectly from the battery (power available at all
times). Items plugged into this outlet may
discharge the battery and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
• There is also a 12 Volt power outlet located on the back of the center console for rear passengers. This power outlet has power available
only when the ignition is placed in the ACC or RUN position.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be replaced.

WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the Performance Features is intended for off-highway
or off-road use only and should not be done on any public roadways. It is recommended
that these features be used in a controlled environment and within the limits of the law. The
capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the performance pages must never be exploited in
a reckless or dangerous manner, which can jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.
SUMMER/THREE-SEASON TIRES
• This vehicle may be equipped with wheels and tires to enhance traction in both wet and dryconditions.
• Summer tires are not intended to be driven in snow or on ice.
• Summer tires have significantly reduced grip in temperatures below 50°F (10°C)
• Use summer tires only in sets of four.
