cally. The autolight system can:∙ Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel
lights automatically when it is dark.
∙ Turn off all the lights when it is light.
∙ Keep all the lights on for a period of time af ter you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed. NOTE:

2. Place the ignition switch in the ON po- sition.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and lef t

of time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.

illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle’s battery could become dis-
charged.Headlight beam select

∙ Use the E-lock system only in anemergency when it is not possible to
free a stuck vehicle even using 4LO.
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.
∙ Observe the above warnings. Other- wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an acci-
dent and serious personal injury.
CAUTION
∙ Af ter using the E-Lock system, or dur-ing normal driving, turn the switch
OFF to prevent possible damage to
drivetrain components from ex-
tended use.
∙ When the E-Lock system is in opera- tion, turning the vehicle becomes dif-
ficult. This can be dangerous, espe-
cially at high speeds. Doing so could
damage drivetrain components. ∙ Do not operate the E-Lock system
when the vehicle is turning or when
one side wheel is rotating. Otherwise,
the drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ The E-Lock system operates only when the engine is running.
∙ In 4H mode, the E-Lock system does not operate when the E-Lock system
switch is turned to the ON position.
(The E-Lock system indicator light will
flash.)
∙ Avoid quick starts while the E-Lock system is in operation. Otherwise the
drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ Observe the above cautions. Other- wise, loss of normal steering may
result. To use the outlets for devices that require
120v power, place the ignition in the ON
position and push the power inverter
switch.
The 400W or 150W on the switch will illumi-
nate according to the mode selected. Only
the 150W is available when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position and the
vehicle is being driven. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “120v outlets” in this section
regarding using devices that require the
power inverter switch activated.

tems. The Front and rear sonar system, MOD, or
RCTA systems will be turned on automati-
cally under the following conditions:
∙ When the ignition switch is switched from the OFF position to the ON posi-
tion.
∙ When the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse) position.

one electrical accessory. When the dual
wall bed liner is installed (if so equipped),
the power outlet is still accessible through
the access door in the bed liner.
CAUTION
∙ Operation of the 120 volt system withthe ignition in the ON position and the
engine not running (idle) will drain the
battery charge. This could lead to a
dead battery or no start condition.
∙ The outlet and plug may be hot during or immediately af ter use.
∙ Use power outlets with the engine running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
∙ Do not use double adaptors or more than one electrical accessory.
∙ Avoid using power outlets when the air conditioner, headlights or rear win-
dow defroster is on.
∙ Before inserting or disconnecting a plug, be sure the electrical accessory
being used is turned OFF. ∙ Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug
may overheat or the internal tem-
perature fuse may open.

WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to se- cure cargo.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area. It is extremely dangerous
to ride in a cargo area inside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts.
∙ The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with
items in the cargo area. Secure any
items in the cargo area. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is
damaged.

vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.
