VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
This Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for
unauthorized operation.
When the alarm is activated, the interior switches for door locks are disabled. The
Vehicle Security Alarm provides both audio and visual signals repeatedly for three
minutes. If the disturbance is still present (driver's door, passenger door, other doors,
ignition) after three minutes, the parking lights and tail lights will flash for an additional
15 minutes.
To A r m
Cycle the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button until the button display indi-
cates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF”. Push the power door lock switch while the
door is open, push the Key Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located
outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door
handles, push the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located on the door handle.
NOTE:
After pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button, you must wait two seconds
before you can lock or unlock the vehicle via the door handle.
To Disarm
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles, grab
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ door handle and enter the vehicle, then push the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle).
SEAT BELT
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in
the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting
on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision.
You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt.
The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle,
if the target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming
to a standstill, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and the brakes will ramp-out.
Driver intervention will be required at this moment.
While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is
unbuckled or the driver door is opened, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and the
brakes will ramp-out. Driver intervention will be required at this moment.
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed
Speed) Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, press the ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal
(Fixed Speed) Speed Control OFF.
• Pressing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in
turning ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

10. With the transmission and transfer case in NEUTRAL, press and hold the
ENGINE START/STOP button until the engine turns off. Turning the engine off
will automatically place the transmission in PARK.
11. Press the ENGINE STOP/START button again (without pressing the brake
pedal), if needed, to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
12. Firmly apply the parking brake.
13. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
14. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that must be met before pressing the
NEUTRAL (N) button, and must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not met before pressing the NEUTRAL
(N) button or are no longer met during the shift, then the NEUTRAL (N) indicator
light will flash continuously until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL
(N) button is released.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for a shift to take place and
for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will
be on or flashing.
• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements
have not been met.
• If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension, the engine should be
started and left running for a minimum of 60 seconds (with all the doors closed)
at least once every 24 hours. This process allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for temperature effects.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move, even if the
transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
