Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed
in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

10. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehiclemovement.
11. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
12. Apply the parking brake.
NOTE:
Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL.
REAR ELECTRONIC LOCKER (E-LOCKER) SYSTEM
• The Rear E-Locker System features a mechanical locking rear differential to provide better traction in the 4WD LOW position. The “REAR LOCK” button is on
the Selec-Terrain Knob
Activating The Rear E-Locker
• To activate the Rear E-Locker System, the following conditions must be met: • The 4WD system must be in 4WD LOW.
• The ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running.
• Vehicle speed must be below 15 MPH (24 km/h).
• To engage Rear E-Locker, press the REAR LOCK button once.
Deactivating The Rear E-Locker System
• To deactivate the Rear E-Locker System, the following conditions must be met: • Rear E-Locker must be engaged, and the REAR LOCK indicator light on.
• The ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running.
• To disengage Rear E-Locker , press the REAR LOCK button once.
NOTE:
• It may also be necessary to drive slowly steering back and forth to complete engagement and disengagement of the E- Locker.
• When engaging Rear E-Locker, the indicator lights in the instrument cluster and on the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash. When the shift is complete the REAR
LOCK indicator lights will remain on.
• When disengaging Rear E-Locker, the indicator lights in the instrument cluster and on the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash. When the shift is complete the
REAR LOCK indicator lights will remain off.
• Shifting into or out of Rear E-Locker is possible with the vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being
properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and
shift completion to occur. The preferred method is for the vehicle to be rolling,
below 15 MPH (24 km/h), while including right and left steering maneuvers to
allow for the clutch teeth to align.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
133

• The Rear E-Locker System must be disengaged prior to taking the vehicle out of4WD LOW range. If 4WD LOW shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a message
will flash from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) with instructions
on how to complete the requested shift.
SELEC-TERRAIN™
• Selec-Terrain™ combines the capa-bilities of the vehicle control systems,
along with driver input, to provide the
best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select
the following Selec-Terrain™ positions:
• Auto — Fully automatic full time four-
wheel drive operation can be used on
and off road. Balances traction with
seamless steering feel to provide im-
proved handling and acceleration over
two-wheel drive vehicles.
• Snow — Tuning set for additional sta-
bility in inclement weather. Use on and
off road on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in SNOW mode (depending
on certain operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather
than first gear) during launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
• Sport — This mode alters the transmission's automatic shift schedule for sportier
driving. Upshift speeds are increased to make full use of available engine power.
• Sand/Mud — Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud,
sand, or wet grass. Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt
on less forgiving surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit traction
control management of throttle and wheel spin.
• Rock — Off-road calibration only available in 4WD LOW range. Traction based
tuning with improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces.
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep downhill control. Use for low speed
obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
SPORT mode is not available when 4WD LOW is selected.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by arocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between REVERSE and DRIVE. Using
minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL for at least
one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheat-
ing and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free
a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between REVERSE and DRIVE, do
not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds
may cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could explode and
injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h)
or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck
and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

RECOVERY STRAP
• Your vehicle may be included with a recovery strap. Recovery straps do not act liketraditional tow straps, chains, or winch cables.
Using Recovery Strap
1. Review all warnings and instructions first.
2. Position the recovery vehicle.
3. Connect the recovery strap.
4. Add a recovery damper or blanket.
5. Clear the danger zone.
6. Safely and slowly start pulling.
7. Disconnect the recovery strap after both vehicles are secure and parked.
WARNING!
Recovery straps should only be used in emergencies to rescue stranded vehicles. Only
use Recovery straps on vehicles that fit within the recommended GVW of your
recovery strap. Only attach recovery straps to OE recommended anchor points or
emergency towing anchor points. Never attach to tow ball or vehicle tie down point,
these are not designed for this purpose. Never attach to vehicle steering, drive train,
or any other suspension components. NEVER pull a strap over sharp edges or abrasive
surfaces that can damage the recovery strap. NEVER use a damaged strap, it has
reduced strength. DO NOT attempt to repair straps. ONLY persons involved in the
recovery should be in either vehicle. No passengers. Anyone inside the vehicles can
be struck by strap recoil, causing serious injury. MOVE bystanders at least 40 feet
from the recovery area when using the recovery strap.
SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE
• If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:• Turn the engine OFF.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Using a screwdriver or similar tool, carefully separate the shifter bezel and boot
assembly from the center console bezel.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
• Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down into the shift lever override access hole (at the right front corner of the shift lever assembly), and push and
hold the override release lever down.
• Move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the shift lever boot.
