ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows you to limit the highest available transmission gear, and
can be activated during any driving condition. When towing a trailer or operating the vehicle in
off-road conditions, using ERS shift control will help you maximize both performance and engine
braking.
•To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode,
move the shift lever to the left (-) once. The
current gear will be maintained as the top
gear. To disable ERS, simply press and hold
the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is
displayed in the instrument cluster odometer.
Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can
be done at any vehicle speed.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for
further details.

•YoucanusetheTireServiceKitairpumptoinflatebicycletires.Thekitalsocomeswithtwo
needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of the air pump) for
inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items. However, use only the Air Pump Hose (7)
and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid
injecting sealant into them. The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less
than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the
ground. This will allow the Tire Service Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve stem and keep
the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground. This will provide the best positioning of the kit when
injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the air pump. Move the vehicle as
necessary to place the valve stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and
cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4. Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose
(6) onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
6. Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The Deflated Tire:
Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
NOTE:
Manual transmission vehicles must have the parking brake engaged and the shift lever in
NEUTRAL.
After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1)
through the Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.

corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different
and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine
coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT
engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, the
cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant
(conforming to MS-12106), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
