✽
✽NOTICE If you install an after market HID
head lamp, your vehicle’s audio and
electronic device may malfunction.
AntennaYour vehicle uses a roof antenna to
receive AM or/and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
This antenna is removable. To
remove the roof antenna, turn it
counterclockwise. To install the roof
antenna, turn it clockwise.
AUDIO SYSTEM
CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a
low height clearance or a vehi-cle wash, remove the antennaby rotating it counter-clock-wise. If not, the antenna maybe damaged.
 When reinstalling your roof antenna, it is important that itis fully tightened and adjustedto the upright position toensure proper reception. But itcould be removed when park-ing the vehicle or when load-ing cargo on the roof rack.
 When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place thecargo near the antenna pole toensure proper reception.

Voice Recognition When using the voice recognitionfeature, only commands listed with-
in the user's manual are supported.
 Be aware that during the operation of the voice recognition system,
pressing any key other than the key terminate voice recognition
mode.
 For superior voice recognition per- formance, position the microphone
used for voice recognition above
the head of the driver’s seat and
maintain a proper position when
saying commands.
 Within the following situations, voice recognition may not function
properly due to external sound.
- When the windows and sunroof are open
- When the wind of the cooling / heating device is strong
- When entering and passing through tunnels
(Continued)(Continued)
- When driving on rugged and uneven roads
- During severe rain (heavy rains, windstorms)
 Phone related voice commands can be used only when a
Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology device is con-
nected.
 When making calls by stating a name, the corresponding contact
must be downloaded and stored
within the audio system.
 After downloading the
Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology phone book, it
takes some times to convert the
phone book data into voice infor-
mation. During this time, voice
recognition may not properly oper-
ate.
 Pronounce the voice commands naturally and clearly as if in a nor-
mal conversation.

Features of your vehicle
Satellite Radio channels:
SIRIUS Satellite Radio has over 130
channels, including 69 channels of
100% commercial-free music, plus
sports, news, talk and entertainment
available nationwide in your vehicle.
For more information and a complete
list of SIRIUS Satellite Radio chan-
nels, visit sirius.com in the United
States, sirius-canada.ca in Canada,
or call SIRIUS at 1-888-539-7474.
Satellite Radio reception factors:
To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof
provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a
requirement of a satellite radio sys-
tem. Like AM/FM, there are several
factors that can affect satellite radio
reception performance:
 Antenna obstructions: For optimalreception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice
build-up and keep luggage and
other material as far away from the
antenna as possible.
 Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall build- ings, bridges, tunnels, freeway over- passes, parking garages, dense
tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio service:
SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscrip-
tion-based satellite radio service that
broadcasts music, sports, news and
entertainment programming to radio
receivers, which are available for instal-
lation in motor vehicles or factory
installed, as well as for the home,
portable and wireless devices, and
through an Internet connection on per-
sonal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a
factory installed SIRIUS Satellite
Radio system include:
 Hardware and an introductory trial subscription term, which begins on
the date of sale or lease of the
vehicle.
 For a small upgrade fee, access to SIRIUS music channels, and other
select channels over the Internet
using any computer connected to
the Internet (U.S. customers only).
For information on extended sub-
scription terms, contact SIRIUS at
1-888-539-7474. NOTE:
Satellite Radio requires SIRIUS®
compatible receiver and a sub-
scription service fee after trial
period.
Vehicles without a factory-installed
radio receiver require hardware
purchase and installation. Please
see your dealer for further details.
All fees and programming subject
to change.

Reducing the risk of a rolloverThis multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). A SUV has higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make it more capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road, which allows you to anticipate
problems. A SUV is not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger vehicles,
any more than low profile sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactori-
ly in off-road conditions. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are
strongly recommended to buckle
their seat belts. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted person is more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. There are steps that a driver can
take to reduce the risk of a rollover.
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed,
and or abrupt maneuvers, do not
load your roof rack with heavy cargo,
and never modify your vehicle in any
way.
CAUTION
- Mud or snow
If one of the front or rear wheels
begins to spin in mud, snow,etc. the vehicle can sometimesbe driven out by depressing theaccelerator pedal further; how-ever avoid running the enginecontinuously at high rpmbecause doing so could dam-age the AWD system.
WARNING
- Jacked vehicle
While the full-time AWD vehicle
is being raised on a jack, never
start the engine or cause the
tires to rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tires touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to go off the
jack and to jump forward.
WARNING
- Rollover
As with other Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV), failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
 Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.
 Specific design characteris- tics (higher ground clearance,
narrower track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles.
 A SUV is not designed for cor- nering at the same speeds as
conventional vehicles.
 Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
 In a rollover crash, an unbelt- ed person is significantly
more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. Make
sure everyone in the vehicle is
properly buckled up.

Driving your vehicle
Hazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
 Drive cautiously and allow extradistance for braking.
 Avoid sudden braking or steering.
 When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.  If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use second gear. Accelerate slow-
ly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
 Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.

If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or

never modify your vehicle in any way.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING
- ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on
a vehicle equipped with ABS.
WARNING
- Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving on slip-
pery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires
to skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
