GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
66
If the light continues to flash when the
vehicle is running, immediate service is
required. You may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle, or
engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will come on when the igni-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
— Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an overheated engine
condition. If the engine coolant temperature
is too high, this indicator will illuminate and
a single chime will sound.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system
is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine
Overheats” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
— Hood Open Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate when the
hood is left open and not fully closed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
— Liftgate Open Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate when the
liftgate is open.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
— Oil Pressure Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
low engine oil pressure. A chime will sound
when this light turns on and a message “Oil
Pressure Low” will display in the message
screen. If the light turns on while driving,
pull the vehicle to the side of the road at a
safe location, stop the vehicle, shut off the
engine as soon as possible, check the oil
level and correct the oil level if it is low.
Contact an authorized dealer. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
corrected. This light may or may not indicate
how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil
level must be checked according to section
“Scheduling Service” Checking Oil Level. If
the oil level is low and corrected, the engine
can be restarted. Otherwise the vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
The light may flash, a message in the center
of the dash may be displayed momentarily
“low oil pressure” and a chime may occur
during sharp cornering maneuvers. If this
happen it may indicate a low oil level. The oil
level should be checked and serviced by a
dealer if this occurs.
— Oil Temperature Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
the engine oil temperature is high. If the light
turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible. Wait for
oil temperature to return to normal levels.
CAUTION!
If the vehicle is driven with low oil levels
severe engine damage can occur. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.

Towing With HSA
HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate
roll back while towing a trailer.
Rain Brake Support (RBS)
Rain Brake Support (RBS) may improve
braking performance in wet conditions. It
will periodically apply a small amount of
brake pressure to remove any water buildup
on the front brake rotors. It functions when
the windshield wipers are in LO or HI speed.
When Rain Brake Support is active, there is
no notification to the driver and no driver
interaction is required.
Ready Alert Braking (RAB)
Ready Alert Braking (RAB) may reduce the
time required to reach full braking during
emergency braking situations. It anticipates
when an emergency braking situation may
occur by monitoring how fast the throttle is
released by the driver. The EBC will prepare
the brake system for a panic stop.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped
Hill Descent Control (HDC) is intended for
low speed off-road driving while in 4L Range.
HDC maintains vehicle speed while
descending hills during various driving situa-
tions. HDC controls vehicle speed by actively
controlling the brakes.
HDC Has Three States:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate).
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation conditions are not met, or
driver is actively overriding with brake or
throttle application).
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling vehicle speed).
Enabling HDC
HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch,
but the following conditions must also be
met to enable HDC:
Driveline is in 4L Range
Vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)
Park brake is released
Driver door is closed
WARNING!
If you use a trailer brake controller with
your trailer, the trailer brakes may be
activated and deactivated with the brake
switch. If so, there may not be enough
brake pressure to hold both the vehicle
and the trailer on a hill when the brake
pedal is released. In order to avoid
rolling down an incline while resuming
acceleration, manually activate the
trailer brake or apply more vehicle brake
pressure prior to releasing the brake
pedal.
HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when exiting your
vehicle. Also, be certain to place the
transmission in PARK (P).
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision or serious personal
injury.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
216
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF
mode. The only approved method of towing
without the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFF the ground (using a towing dolly, or
wheel lift equipment with the front wheels
raised).
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while being
towed. The Electric Park Brake does not
need to be released, if all four wheels are off
the ground.
4x4 Models
The manufacturer requires towing with all
four wheels OFF the ground.
Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle
on a flatbed, or with one end of vehicle raised
and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
engine and/or transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or power transfer unit will occur
if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or power transfer unit
damage. Damage from improper towing
is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Recovery Strap — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be included with a recovery
strap. Recovery straps do not act like tradi-
tional tow straps, chains, or winch cables. Using Recovery Strap
1. Review all warnings and instructions
first.
2. Position the recovery vehicle.
3. Connect the recovery strap.
4. Add a recovery damper or blanket.
5. Clear the danger zone.
6. Safely and slowly start pulling.
7. Disconnect the recovery strap after both vehicles are secure and parked.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT
RESPONSE SYSTEM (EARS)
This vehicle is equipped with an Enhanced
Accident Response System.
Please refer to “Occupant Restraint
Systems” in “Safety” for further information
on the Enhanced Accident Response System
(EARS) function.
EVENT DATA RECORDER
(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed under certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle.
Please refer to “Occupant Restraint
Systems” in “Safety” for further information
on the Event Data Recorder (EDR).
WARNING!
Recovery straps should only be used in
emergencies to rescue stranded vehicles.
Only use Recovery straps on vehicles that
fit within the recommended Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW) of your recovery strap. Only
attach recovery straps to Optional
Equipment (OE) recommended anchor
points or emergency towing anchor points.
Never attach to tow ball or vehicle tie down
point, these are not designed for this
purpose. Never attach to vehicle steering,
drive train, or any other suspension
components. NEVER pull a strap over sharp
edges or abrasive surfaces that can damage
the recovery strap. NEVER use a damaged
strap, it has reduced strength. DO NOT
attempt to repair straps. ONLY persons
involved in the recovery should be in either
vehicle. No passengers. Anyone inside the
vehicles can be struck by strap recoil,
causing serious injury. MOVE bystanders at
least 40 ft (12.2 m) from the recovery area
when using the recovery strap.

SERVICING AND MAINTENAN

Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all
seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and
Winter). Traction levels may vary between
different all season tires. All season tires can
be identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or MS
designation on the tire sidewall. Use all
season tires only in sets of four; failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — If
Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet
and dry conditions, and are not intended to
be driven in snow or on ice. If your vehicle is
equipped with Summer tires, be aware these
tires are not designed for Winter or cold
driving conditions. Install Winter tires on
your vehicle when ambient temperatures are
less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered
with ice or snow. For more information,
contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season
designation or mountain/snowflake symbol on
the tire sidewall. Use Summer tires only in setsof four; failure to do so may adversely affect the
safety and handling of your vehicle.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of
snow tires during the Winter. Snow tires can
be identified by a “mountain/snowflake”
symbol on the tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires
equivalent in size and type to the
original equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four; failure to
do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings
than what was originally equipped with your
vehicle and should not be operated at
sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h).
For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer
to original equipment or an authorized tire
dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pres
-
sures.
While studded tires improve performance on
ice, skid and traction capability on wet or dry
surfaces may be poorer than that of
non-studded tires. Some states prohibit
studded tires; therefore, local laws should be
checked before using these tire types.
Spare Tires — If Equipped
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit
instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire
Service Kit” in “In Case Of Emergency” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.
Refer to the “Towing Requirements - Tires”
in “Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s
Manual for restrictions when towing with a
spare tire designated for temporary emer -
gency use.
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice
conditions. You could lose vehicle control,
resulting in severe injury or death. Driving
too fast for conditions also creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance,
do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash with a compact or
limited use temporary spare installed.
Damage to the vehicle may result.
