7 ELECTRONIC SHIFT-ON-THE-FLY
4X4 SYSTEM*
Rotate the knob and shift from 2WD to 4x4 High or Low:
2H (2WD) provides power to the rear wheels only. This
is appropriate for street and highway driving, providing
optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds.
4H (4WD HIGH) provides extra traction, such as
driving in snow or on icy roads, or for off-road situations.
This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement.
4L (4WD LOW) uses extra gearing to provide
maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds.
It is intended only for off-road applications, such as
driving in deep sand or on steep grades, or while pulling
heavy objects.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced roads.
Doing so can produce extra noise and increase tire wear.
For more complete details, refer to the Four-Wheel Drive
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

pressure. You can adjust the amount of initial trailer
brake output by selecting one of three settings through
the message center. Use the GAIN adjustment buttons
to increase or decrease the braking feature’s power
output to the trailer. Refer to the Towing section of your

behind the vehicle. During operation,
lines appear in the display that
represent your vehicle’s path and
proximity to objects behind the
vehicle. The display will automatically
appear in the navigation system
screen* or in the auto-dimming
interior mirror whenever the vehicle is
in reverse (R) and uses colors (green,
yellow and red) to alert you of your

driver of obstacles within a certain range of the rear bumper area. It sounds
a warning tone if there is an object behind the vehicle. The tone will sound
continuously when the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) away.
The system is not effective when the vehicle is traveling above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is
moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details
and limitations.
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION*
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing
fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light
to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™
The SOS Post-Crash Alert System provides audible and visual alarms in the
event of a crash which causes the deployment of airbags or the activation
of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the horn will
sound. To deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control, or you
