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.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or applicable supplement on
the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Yo u r v e h i c l e i s e q u i p p e d w i t h a n a u t o m a t i c o i l c h a n g e i n d i c a t o r s y s t e m . T h e o i l c h a n g e i n d i c a t o r
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips,
trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when
the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the
change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your authorized dealer,
the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Instrument Cluster Warning
Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for
further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve
months, whichever comes first.
