•Various vehicle speed reminders so youknow when your vehicle approaches thelimits. Warnings appear in the informationdisplay and an audible warning soundswhen you exceed the limit.
•Audio system maximum volume of 45%.A message will be shown in the displaywhen you attempt to exceed the limitedvolume. Also, the speed-sensitive orcompensated automatic volume controlwill be disabled.
•Always on setting. When this is selected,you will not be able to turn off AdvanceTrac or traction control, 911 Assist orEmergency Assistance, or Do Not Disturb(if your vehicle is equipped with thesefeatures).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create aMyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program intothe ignition. See Starting a GasolineEngine (page 159). If your vehicle isequipped with a push-button start, placethe remote control into the backup slot.See Passive Anti-Theft System (page77).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3.Access the main menu in the informationdisplay and then scroll through themenus to change the settings of yourMyKey. From the MyKey menu select theoption Create MyKey. See InformationDisplays (page 105).
4.When prompted, hold the OK button untilyou see a message informing you to labelthis key as a MyKey. The programmedrestrictions apply when you key off, openand close the driver door and restart yourvehicle with the programmed key ortransmitter.
MyKey is successfully created. Make sureyou label it so you can distinguish it from theadmin keys.
You can also program configurable settingsfor the key(s). See Programming andChanging Configurable Settings.
Programming and ChangingConfigurable Settings
Use the information display to access yourconfigurable MyKey settings.
1.Switch the ignition on using an admin keyor transmitter you want to program.
2.Access the main menu in the informationdisplay and then scroll through themenus to change the settings of yourMyKey. See Information Displays (page105).
3. Follow the instructions in the display.
Note:You can clear or change your MyKeysettings at any time during the same keycycle as you created the MyKey. Once youhave switched the vehicle off, however, youwill need an admin key to change or clearyour MyKey settings.

Adaptive Cruise Control
ActionMessage
A radar malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging. See Using Adaptive CruiseControl (page 204).Adaptive Cruise Malfunction
Conditions exist such that the adaptive cruise cannot function properly. See Using AdaptiveCruise Control (page 204).Adaptive Cruise Not Available
The radar is blocked because of poor radar visibility due to bad weather or ice/mud/water infront of radar. Driver can typically clean the sensor to resolve. See Using Adaptive CruiseControl (page 204).

The tire pressure monitoring system is malfunctioning. If the warning stays on or continues tocome on, contact an authorized dealer. See Tire Pressure Monitoring System (page 329).Tire Pressure Monitor Fault
A tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning, or your spare tire is in use. For more information onhow the system operates under these conditions, See Tire Pressure Monitoring System (page329). If the warning stays on or continues to come on, contact an authorized dealer as soon aspossible.

SelectShift in sport (S):
•Provides a permanent manual gearselection where full control of gearselection is required.
To exit SelectShift mode shift thetransmission into another gear (for example,drive [D]).
Upshift to the recommended shift speedsaccording to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating (recommended forbest fuel economy)
Shift from:
15 mph (24 km/h)1 - 2
25 mph (40 km/h)2 - 3
40 mph (64 km/h)3 - 4
45 mph (72 km/h)4 - 5
50 mph (80 km/h)5 - 6
The instrument cluster displays your currentlyselected gear. If a gear is requested but notavailable due to vehicle conditions (lowspeed, too high engine speed for requestedgear selection), the current gear will flashthree times.
Note:At full accelerator pedal travel, thetransmission automatically downshifts formaximum performance.
Note:In low traction conditions, you can pullaway in second gear using SelectShift. Toperform this operation, select drive (D) orsport (S) mode and press the + toggle (ifequipped) or pull the + paddle (if equipped)until 2 is displayed on the cluster. Yourvehicle is now ready to move in 2nd gear.
Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: Do not drive your vehicleuntil you verify that the brake lamps areworking.
WARNING: When doing thisprocedure, you need to take thetransmission out of park (P) which meansyour vehicle can roll freely. To avoidunwanted vehicle movement, always fullyapply the parking brake prior to doing thisprocedure. Use wheels chocks ifappropriate.
WARNING: If the parking brake isfully released, but the brake warning lampremains illuminated, the brakes may notbe working properly. Have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible.
Note:For some markets this feature will bedisabled.
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shiftinterlock feature that prevents moving thegearshift lever from park (P) when the ignitionis in the on position and the brake pedal isnot pressed.

Transmission

acceleration or braking which could resultin an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover and/or personalinjury. Use all available road surface toreturn the vehicle to a safe direction oftravel.
•In the event of an emergency stop, avoidskidding the tires and do not attempt anysharp steering wheel movements.
•If the vehicle goes from one type ofsurface to another (that is, from concreteto gravel) there will be a change in theway the vehicle responds to a maneuver(steering, acceleration or braking). Again,avoid these abrupt inputs.
Sand
Most of the time traction control improvestire traction by managing wheel slip throughBrake, Engine, and AWD calibrations.However, during low speed driving, disablingtraction control in deep sand can help keepthe wheels moving to maintain vehiclemomentum.
When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail.Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shiftto a lower gear and drive steadily throughthe terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly andavoid spinning the wheels.
Do not drive your vehicle in deep sand foran extended period of time. This couldcause the AWD system to overheat anddefault to front-wheel drive. If this occurs,an AWD OFF message displays in theinformation display. To resume normal AWDfunction as soon as possible, stop the vehiclein a safe location and stop the engine for atleast 10 minutes. After the engine has beenrestarted and the AWD system hasadequately cooled, the AWD OFF messageturns off and normal AWD function returns. In the event the engine is not stopped, theAWD OFF message turns off when thesystem cools and normal AWD functionreturns.
When driving at slow speeds in deep sandunder high outside temperatures, use L (Low)gear when possible. L (Low) gear operationwill maximize the engine and transmissioncooling capability.
Under severe operating conditions, the A/Cmay cycle on and off to protect overheatingof the engine.
Avoid excessive speed because vehiclemomentum can work against you and causethe vehicle to become stuck to the point thatassistance may be required from anothervehicle. Remember, you may be able to backout the way you came if you proceed withcaution.
Mud and Water
If you must drive through high water, driveslowly. Traction or brake capability may belimited.
When driving through water, determine thedepth; avoid water higher than the bottomof the wheel rims (for cars) or the bottom ofthe hubs (for trucks) (if possible) and proceedslowly. If the ignition system gets wet, thevehicle may stall.
