STEERING WHEEL
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
This feature allows you to tilt the steering
column upward or downward. It also allows
you to lengthen or shorten the steering col-
umn. The tilt/telescoping lever is located
below the steering wheel at the end of the
steering column.To unlock the steering column, push the
control handle downward (toward the floor).
To tilt the steering column, move the steering
wheel upward or downward as desired. To
lengthen or shorten the steering column, pull
the steering wheel outward or push it inward
as desired. To lock the steering column in
position, push the control handle upward
until fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering
column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating ele-
ment that helps warm your hands in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel has only
one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel has been turned on, it will stay
on until the operator turns it off. The heated
steering wheel may not turn on when it is
already warm.
The heated steering wheel control button is
located on the center instrument panel below
the touchscreen, as well as within the climate
or controls screen of the touchscreen.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element on.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
a second time to turn the heating element
off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.

CAUTION!
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.)
will degrade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's bat-
tery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 230 Volt inverter outlet located on
the back of the center console to convert DC
current to AC current. This outlet can power
cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power. Certain high-
end game consoles will exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.To turn on the power inverter outlet, simply
plug in the device. The outlet automatically
turns off when the device is unplugged.
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating is
exceeded, the power inverter will automati-
cally shut down. Once the electrical device
has been removed from the outlet the inverter
should automatically reset. To avoid over-
loading the circuit, check the power ratings
on electrical devices prior to using the
inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.

monitoring how fast the throttle is released by
the driver. The EBC will prepare the brake
system for a panic stop.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize
an excessively swaying trailer and will take
the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the
sway. TSC will become active automatically
once an excessively swaying trailer is recog-
nized.
NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying.
Always use caution when towing a trailer and
follow the trailer tongue weight recommenda-
tions. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
When TSC is functioning, the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will
flash, the engine power may be reduced and
you may feel the brakes being applied to
individual wheels to attempt to stop the
trailer from swaying. TSC is disabled when
the ESC system is in the “Partial Off” or “Full
Off” modes.
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the
vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe
location, and adjust the trailer load to
eliminate trailer sway.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) —
If Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, mo-
torcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot
zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both out-
side rear view mirrors to let the driver know
that the system is operational. The BSM
system sensors operate when the vehicle is in
any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approxi-
mately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle 12 ft (3.8 m). The zone length starts
at the outside mirror and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear bumper of
the vehicle. The BSM system monitors the
detection zones on both sides of the vehicle
