WARNING
∙ Never rely solely on the hill descentcontrol system to control vehicle
speed when driving on steep downhill
grades. Always drive carefully when
using the hill descent control system
and decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal if neces-
sary. Be especially careful when driv-
ing on frozen, muddy or extremely
steep downhill roads. Failure to con-
trol vehicle speed may result in a loss
of control of the vehicle and possible
serious injury or death. ∙ The hill descent control may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed. Failure to do
so may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
When the hill descent control system
operates continuously for a long time,
the temperature of the brake pads may
increase and the hill descent control
system may be temporarily disabled
(the indicator light will blink). If the indi-
cator light does not come on continu-
ously af ter blinking, stop using the
system.
The hill descent control system is designed
to reduce driver workload when going
down steep hills. The hill descent control
system helps to control vehicle speed so
the driver can concentrate on steering the
vehicle.
To activate the hill descent control system: ∙ The shif t lever must be in forward or reverse gear, ∙ The 4WD switch must be in the 4L posi-
tion and the vehicle speed must be un-
der 15 mph (25 km/h) or
∙ The 4WD switch must be in the 4H posi- tion and the vehicle speed must be un-
der 21 mph (35 km/h), and
∙ The hill descent control system switch must be ON.
The hill descent control system ON indica-
tor light will come on when the system is
activated. Also, the stop/tail lights illumi-
nate while the hill descent control system
applies the brakes to control vehicle speed.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is de-
pressed while the hill descent control sys-
tem is on, the system will stop operating
temporarily. As soon as the accelerator or
brake pedal is released, the hill descent
control system begins to function again if
the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled.
The hill descent control system ON indica-
tor light blinks if the switch is on and all
conditions for system activation are not
met or if the system becomes disengaged
for any reason.
To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the switch to the OFF position.

For additional information, refer to “Hill de-
scent control system ON indicator light” in
this section and “Hill descent control sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.The E-Lock system can help provide added
traction if the vehicle is stuck or becoming
stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:∙ The 4WD switch must be in the 4LO po- sition (4-wheel drive vehicles),
∙ The vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4 mph (7 km/h) or less, and
∙ The E-Lock system switch must be turned on. When the E-Lock switch is turned on, the
indicator light will flash until the system
engages. However, if all operation condi-
tions listed above are not met or the sys-
tem becomes disengaged, the indicator
light will continue to flash.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is dis-
abled and the ABS light illuminates when
the E-Lock system is on. Also, the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system is disabled
and the VDC light illuminates when the
E-Lock system is on.
For additional information, refer to “Elec-
tronic locking rear differential (E-Lock) sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual for further explanation and
system limitations.
WARNING
∙ Never leave the E-Lock system on
when driving on paved or hard-
surfaced roads. Turning the vehicle
may result in the rear wheels slipping
and result in an accident and personal
injury. Af ter using the E-lock system
to free the vehicle, turn the system off.

∙ Use the E-Lock system only whenfreeing a stuck vehicle. Try the 4LO po-
sition before using the E-Lock system.
Never use the E-Lock system on a slip-
pery road surface such as snow or ice
surface. Using the E-Lock system
when driving in these road conditions
may cause unexpected movement of
the vehicle during engine braking, ac-
celerating or turning, which may re-
sult in an accident and serious per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION
∙ Af ter using the E-lock system, turnthe switch off to prevent possible
damage to driveline components
from extended use.
∙ Do not drive over 12 mph (20 km/h) when the system is engaged. Doing so
could result in possible damage to the
driveline.
∙ Do not turn on the E-lock system while the tires are spinning. Doing so
could damage drivetrain components.
WARNING
Pay special attention to your surround-
ings when using the clutch interlock
switch. The vehicle will move forward or
backward according to the gear
selected.
The clutch interlock (clutch start) switch
allows for starting the engine without de-
pressing the clutch pedal. This feature
helps you restart the engine if it stops un-
der difficult conditions. (For example, the
engine stops on a steep hill and a slight
movement forward or backward might be
dangerous.) To use the clutch interlock switch:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot.
3. Place your lef t foot on the brake pedal and release the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
5. Push and release the clutch interlock switch. The CANCEL light on the switch
will illuminate.
6. Turn the ignition to the START position to start the engine and, at the same
time, depress the accelerator pedal
with your right foot. As the vehicle be-
gins to move, take your lef t foot off the
brake. Once the engine has started, the
clutch interlock switch CANCEL light
shuts off. Do not use the interlock
switch to start the engine under nor-
mal driving conditions.

WARNING
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® UniversalTransceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener which cannot de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
∙ During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc., that you are programming.
∙ Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
