REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seatback
• To fold each rear seatback, push
down on the button located on the
upper outboard side of the seat and
fold the seatback flat.
NOTE:Be sure that the front seats are fully uprightand positioned forward. This will allow therear seatback to fold down easily.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt lever is located on the steering
column, below the turn signal lever.
• Push down on the lever to unlock the
steering column.
• With one hand firmly on the steering
wheel, move the steering column up
or down as desired.
• Pull upward on the lever to lock the

Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Be sure the steering column is locked before driving
your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in severe injury or death.

TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS/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 to indicate a lane change and automatically turn off.
Headlights/Parking Lights
• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for the headlights to operate.
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent for parking lights and headlight
operation.
High Beams
• Push the lever forward to activate the high beams.
•A high beam symbol will illuminate in the cluster to indicate the high beams are on.
NOTE:For safe driving, turn off the high beams when oncoming traffic is present to preventheadlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
Flash To Pass
• Pull the lever toward you to activate the high beams. The high beams will remain
on until the lever is released.

Headlight Delay (Follow Me Home)
• Within two minutes of the ignition switch being turned to the OFF/LOCK position
or the ignition key being removed from the ignition, pull the turn signal lever to-
ward the steering wheel.
• Each movement of the lever toward the steering wheel will increase the illumina-
tion period by 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds.
• To deactivate, pull the multifunction lever toward the steering wheel and hold it for
more than two seconds.
NOTE:Activation of Follow Me Home is only enabled once per key cycle and the steps outlinedabove must be repeated each time you want to activate it.
Fog Lights
• Push the FOG LIGHT button, located
on the climate controls once to turn
on the fog lights.
• Push the button a second time to turn
the fog lights off.
• A fog lamp indicator will illuminate in
the instrument cluster to indicate the
fog lamps are on.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

TTC (Torque Transfer Control)
• The TTC system uses the brakes to prevent unwanted wheelspin during corner-
ing, to maximize acceleration and minimize understeering during aggressive driv-
ing. This feature is active in all modes. While TTC is active, the “ESC” lamp in the
instrument cluster may flash.
- 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 pres-
sure 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 han-
dling and stopping ability.
•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRES-
SURE, 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 MIN-
UTES BEFORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
•Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, 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 indi-
cate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator
is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a mal-
function, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to de-
tect 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 al-
low the TPMS to continue to function properly.

• After the event occurs, when the system is active, the message "Fuel Cutoff See
Handbook" is displayed.
• Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system
and starting the engine.
NOTE:
In order to start the engine and move the vehicle to a safe location after an impact, the
System Reset Procedure must be completed.
System Reset Procedure
• After an impact causing air bag deployment, the left and right turn signal lights,
located in the instrument panel cluster, will both be blinking until the ignition is
turned off.
• In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road you must follow the system
reset procedure.
