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.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
This vehicle has two full time, on-demand, four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems avail-
able, Freedom Drive I™ and Freedom-Drive II™. They provide for all-weather,
all-terrain capability for added driving security in less-than-ideal road conditions.
Freedom-Drive I™ Four Wheel Drive System
• The vehicle will constantly monitor wheel slippage and transfer power to the axlethat can use it the most.
• For additional traction in sand, deep snow or loose traction surfaces, the “4WD Lock” sends equal amounts of the torque to the front and rear axles at low speeds.
• To activate, pull the T-handle, located in between the front driver and passenger seats, up once and release. The “4WD Indicator Light” will come on in the cluster.
Freedom-Drive I™ Components
1 — Rear Differential
2 — Electronically Controlled Coupling
3 — Driveshaft
4 — Power Transfer Unit

• This can be done on the fly, at any vehicle speed. To deactivate, simply pull on theT-handle one more time. The “4WD Indicator Light” will then turn off.
Trail Rated® Freedom-Drive II™ Four Wheel Drive System (IF EQUIPPED)
This system offers all the benefits of Freedom Drive I™ plus the
rugged capability of true Trail-Rated off road performance with three
additional features:
Off-Road Mode
Pulling up on the T-handle while the gear shift lever is in the Low
position activates the Off-Road mode.
This feature allows power to be sent to all four wheels when additional traction is
required while also delivering enhanced off-road capability for water fording, moving
on steep grades and rock crawling.
Brake Lock Differential
This feature helps keep the vehicle moving forward when one wheel loses traction by
directing power from the wheel that slips to the wheel with more grip on the same axle
providing more traction in off-road situations.
Hill Descent Control/Hill Start Assist
The Hill Descent Control System maintains vehicle speed while descending hills
during off-road driving situations and is available in both low and reverse gears.
This allows a smooth and controlled hill descent on rough or slippery terrain without
the driver needing to touch the brake pedal.
The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on
a hill.

CAUTION!
• DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Damage to the drivetrain will result. If these vehicles require towing, make sure
all drive wheels are OFF the ground.
• DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Internal damage to the transmission or
transfer case will occur if a dolly is used when recreational towing.
UTILITY

IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, 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 MINUTES
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 indicate
when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect 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 malfunc-
tion telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air
temperature 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
pressures 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. Aftermar-
ket 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.

• For vehicles equipped with plastic trim, the plastic has been cut away to exposethe jacking locations in the body.
• Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
3. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking
location. Once the jack is positioned,
turn the jack screw to the right until
the jack head is properly engaged with
the lift area closest to the wheel to be
changed.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the ve- hicle by turning the jack screw to the
right. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install the
spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel and wheel covers, where applicable, off the hub. Install the spare wheel and wheel nuts with the cone shaped end of the
nuts toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
NOTE:
The wheel cover is held on the wheel by
the wheel nuts. When reinstalling the
original wheel, properly align the wheel
cover to the valve stem, place the wheel
cover onto the wheel, then install the
wheel nuts.
6. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
7.
Finish tightening the nuts. Push down
on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The cor-
rect wheel nut torque is 100 ft/lbs
(135 N·m). If you doubt that you have tightened the nuts correctly, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
8. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is free. Reassemble the lug wrench to the jack assembly and stow it in the spare tire area. Secure the
assembly using the means provided.
