heating. Press the switch a second time to
select Low-level heating. Press the switch a
third time to shut the heating elements Off.
If the High-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to Low-level after ap-
proximately 60 minutes. The Low-level setting
will turn Off automatically after approximately
45 minutes.

WARNING!
•Personswhoareunabletofeelpaintotheskinbecauseofadvancedage,chronicillness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical condi-
tions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel contains a heating element
that heats the steering wheel to one temperature
setting.
The heated steering wheel switch is located on
the center instrument panel.
• Press the switch once to turn the heating
element On. Press the switch a second time
to turn the heating element Off.
Once the heated steering wheel has been
turned on, it will operate for approximately 30
to 80 minutes before automatically shutting
off. The heated steering wheel can shut off
early or may not turn on when the steering
wheel is already warm.
TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
The tilt steering column tilt lever is located below
the steering wheel.
•Pushdownonthetiltlevertounlockthe
steering column.
• With one hand firmly on the steering wheel,
move the steering column upward or down-
ward as desired. To lengthen or shorten the
steering column, pull the steering wheel out-
ward or push it inward as desired.
•Pullupwardonthetiltlevertolockthecol-
umn firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt adjustment must be locked while
driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving without the tilt adjustment locked
could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in
you and others being severely injured or killed.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action:
•Onthehighways—slowdown.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift the transmission to NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine
idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
•Ifyourairconditioner(A/C)ison,turnitoff.TheA/Csystemaddsheattotheenginecooling
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
blower 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.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
HOT (H), 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 (H), and
you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.
WARNING!
Yo u o r o t h e r s c a n b e b a d l y b u r n e d b y h o t e n g i n e c o o l a n t ( a n t i f r e e z e ) o r s t e a m f r o m y o u r
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 pressure cap when the
radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
TIRE SERVICE KIT
Yo u r v e h i c l e m a y b e e q u i p p e d w i t h a T i r e S e r v i c e K i t .
Small punctures up to 1/4” (6 mm) in the tire tread can be sealed with the Tire Service Kit. Foreign
objects (e.g., screws or nails) should not be removed from the tire. The Tire Service Kit can be
used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F (-20°C).
This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 100 miles
(160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (90 km/h).

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a rocking motion.
Tu r n y o u r s t e e r i n g w h e e l r i g h t a n d l e f t t o c l e a r t h e a r e a a r o u n d t h e f r o n t w h e e l s . T h e n s h i f t b a c k
and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pressing the accelerator. Use the least
amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels or racing the engine.
NOTE:
Press the "ESC Off" switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC ) system in "Partial
Off" mode before rocking the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been freed, press the "ESC Off"
switch again to restore "ESC On" mode.
CAUTION!

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
tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's
wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone near a spinning
wheel, no matter what the speed.

TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to
the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for
more information regarding tire warnings and
instructions.
WARNING!
•Overloadingofyourtiresisdangerous.Overloadingcancausetirefailure,affectvehicle
handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle.Neveroverloadthem.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation increases
tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s
ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that
results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling
and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire inflated
to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
