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.
POWER INVERTER
•There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power
inverter outlet located on the back of
the center console.This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
•To turn on the power outlet, simply plug
in the device.The outlet automatically
turns off when the device is unplugged.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection.If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down.Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset.
If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be
reset manually.To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again.To
avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using
the inver ter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do Not
•insert any objects into the receptacles,
•or touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.

WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator Light
This light informs you of a problem with the system.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running.Cycle the
ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; how-

Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch.This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired.It is also intended for driv-
ing in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction.To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
switch again.This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways.In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, except
for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section.To enter the “Full Off ” mode,
depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds.After five seconds, the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message will display in the EVIC.To turn
ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch.

NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture 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 pres-
sures 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.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the
parking brake is applied.If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem problem.
Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous.Part of the brake system
may have failed.It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision.Have
the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illumi-
nate the MIL after engine start.The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles.In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage.We recommend you
do not operate the vehicle.Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
•In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
•On the highways — slow down.
•In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an overheat condition:
•If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
•You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to
floor and the Fan control to high.This allows the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
•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.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle.If the temperature gauge
reads hot, pull over and stop the vehicle.Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range.If the pointer remains
on hot, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator.If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool.Never try to open a cooling system pres-
sure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
