Electronic Range Select (ERS) Mode
The Electronic Range Select mode allows
the driver to manually select the range
of gear positions. This feature can be

performance or to be used to shift gears
similar to a manual transmission.

position.
Press the +/– button (B) on the shift
lever to increase/decrease the gear
range available. All gears below the
selected gear will be available to use.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for
the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one
or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire
pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the T\
ire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tir\
e pressures can be
viewed in the Driver Information Center.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and then
turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.\
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
The roof rack cross rails can be secured in four positions along the roof rack side rails.
When adjusting the cross rails, slide each cross rail slightly back and forth until the lock
pins fully engage the holes. An audible click will be heard.
To help reduce wind noise when not in use, move the front cross rail to \
the forwardmost
position and the rear cross rail to the rearwardmost position.
See Storage in your Owner Manual.
