TABLE OF CONTENTS

Emergency Key
• Should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob transmitter go dead, there is anemergency key located in the Key Fob that can be used for locking and unlocking the
doors. To remove the emergency key, slide the button at the top of the Key Fob sideways
with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.
WARNING!
• 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 severely injured or killed. 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 start the vehicle, operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pressing
the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the Key Fob in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition Key Fob is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.

Installing The Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• Except for the center position in the third row, all of the seat belts in the passengerseating positions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).
The third row center position is equipped with a cinching latch plate. Both types of seat
belts are designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child restraint.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight
if necessary.
• Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
Cargo Van Option Only
• The front passenger seating position is equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed
to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint. Any seat
belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it
tight if necessary.
• There is a tether strap anchor located on the front passenger seatback, near the
floor.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of
the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back into the
retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat
belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
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 contrib-
utes 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 an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows youto limit the highest available transmis-
sion gear, and can be activated during any
driving condition. When towing a trailer or
operating the vehicle in off-road condi-
tions, 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 im-
prove the vehicle’s overall fuel economy
during normal 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 ECON Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will be able 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 may en- gage sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and remain on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
