-
tors the readiness of the electronic parts of the
air  bag  system  whenever  the ignition switch  is
in  the  START  or  ON/RUN  position.  The  ORC
illuminates  the  Passenger  Air  Bag  DISABLE
(OFF)  Indicator  Light  and  the  Passenger  Air
Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator Light on the over -
head  sports  bar  for  approximately  five  to  eight

tion.  After  the  self-check,  the  indicator  light
that  is  illuminated  tells  the  driver  and
passenger  the  status  of  the  Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag. If any of the following
occurs,  have  an  authorized  dealer  service  the
air bag system immediately:
Both indicator lights do not come on as a
self-check when the ignition is first in the
START or ON/RUN position.
Both indicator lights stay on after you start
the vehicle.
Both indicator lights stay off after you start
the vehicle.
Both indicator lights come on as you drive.
Both indicator lights turn off as you drive.
 WARNING!
A DISABLED (OFF) Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated and will not
deploy in a collision.
A DISABLED (OFF) Passenger Advanced
Front  Air  Bag  will  not  provide  a  front
passenger  additional  protection  by
supplementing the seat belts.
Do  not  install  a  child  restraint  in  the
front  seat  unless  the  Passenger  Air  Bag
DISABLE (OFF) Indicator light   on the
overhead  sports  bar  is  illuminated  to
show that the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag is DISABLED (OFF).
In  a  collision,  you  and  your  passengers
can  suffer  much  greater  injuries  if  you
are  not  properly  buckled  up.  You  can
strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of
the  vehicle.  Always  be  sure  you  and
others  in  your  vehicle  are  buckled  up
properly.

DISABLING  (OFF)  The  Passenger  Advanced
Front Air Bag
To  DISABLE  (OFF)  the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag, access the instrument cluster
display main menu located in the instrument
cluster  by  pushing  the  Up  or  Down  arrow
button  located  on  the  steering  wheel,  then
complete the following actions:
 WARNING!
If  any  of  the  above  conditions  occur,
indicating  there  is  an  issue  with  the
Passenger  Air  Bag  Indicator  Light,  the
Passenger  Advanced  Front  Air  Bag  will
remain  in  the  last  selected  state
(DISABLED or ENABLED).
 WARNING!
NEVER  use  a  rearward  facing  child
restraint  on  a  seat  protected  by  an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or
SERIOUS  INJURY  to  the  CHILD  can
occur.
It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which  is  the  most  protected  position  in
the event of a collision.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the  passenger  side  front  seat  in  a
rear-facing  child  restraint  system,  the
passenger  side  front  air  bag  must  be
deactivated.  Always  make  sure  the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu-
minated  when  using  a  child  restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid  the  child  restraint  system  from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
A  deploying  passenger  front air bag  can
cause  death  or  serious  injury  to  a  child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.
Children  12  years  or  younger  should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.

AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist
in  placing  the  vehicle  in  PARK  should  the
situations on the following pages occur. It is
a  back  up  system  and  should  not  be  relied
upon  as  the  primary  method  by  which  the
driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The  conditions  under  which  AutoPark  will
engage are outlined on the following pages. If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns
off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark  will  engage  when  all  of  these
conditions are met:
Vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed trans-
mission
Driver’s door is ajar or in conditions where
driver  door  is  removed  an  additional
trigger would be if the driver is off the seat
(seat pad sensor detects driver missing).
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h)
Ignition switched from RUN to OFF
NOTE:
For  Keyless  Enter-N-Go  equipped  vehicles,
The  engine  will  turn  off  and  the  ignition
switch  will  change  to  ACC  mode.  After
30 minutes  the  ignition  switches  to  OFF
automatically,  unless  the  driver  turns  the
ignition switch OFF.
 WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO
A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in
PARK  by  verifying  that  a  solid  (not
blinking)  “P”  is  indicated  in  the  instru -
ment  cluster  display  and  on  the  gear
selector. If  the  "P"  indicator  is blinking,
your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added
precaution,  always  apply  the  parking
brake when exiting the vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is
not designed to replace the need to shift
your  vehicle  into  PARK.  It  is  a  back  up
system and should not be relied upon as
the  primary  method  by  which  the  driver
shifts the vehicle into PARK.

The  MESSAGE  “AutoPark  Engaged  Shift  to  P
then  Shift  to  Gear ”  will  display  in  the  instru -
ment cluster. NOTE:
In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be
displayed in the instrument cluster. In these
cases, the shifter must be returned to “P” to
select desired gear.
If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the
vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark  will  engage 
ONLY  when  vehicle
speed is 1.2 mph (2.0 km/h) or less.
The MESSAGE “Vehicle Speed is Too High to
Shift to P ” will be displayed in the instrument
cluster  if  vehicle  speed  is  above  1.2 mph
(2.0 km/h). 4WD LOW

ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK
 that your vehicle
is  in  PARK  by  looking  for  the  "P"  in  the
instrument cluster display and on the shifter.
As  an  added  precaution,  always  apply  the
parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
 WARNING!
If  vehicle  speed  is  above  1.2 mph
(2.0 km/h),  the  transmission  will  default
to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops

Eight–Speed Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient
8  speed  transmission.  The  gear  selector  is
located in the center console.Transmission Gear Selector
The  transmission  gear  selector  provides
PARK,  REVERSE,  NEUTRAL,  DRIVE  and
MANUAL (AutoStick) shift positions. Manual
shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift
control. Toggling the gear selector forward (-)
or rearward (+) while in the MANUAL (Auto -
Stick)  position  (beside  the  DRIVE  position)
will  manually  select  the  transmission  gear,
and  will  display  the  current  gear  in  the
instrument  cluster.  Refer  to  "AutoStick"  in
this section for further information. NOTE:
If  the  gear  selector  cannot  be  moved  to  the
PARK,  REVERSE,  or  NEUTRAL  position
(when pushed forward),  it is probably in the
AutoStick  (+/-)  position  (beside  the  DRIVE
position).  In  AutoStick  mode,  the  transmis
-
sion  gear  (1,  2,  3,  etc.)  is  displayed  in  the
instrument cluster. Move the gear selector to
the  right  (into  the  DRIVE  [D]  position)  for
access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.
AutoStick
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing manual shift control, giving
you  more  control  of  the  vehicle.  AutoStick
allows you to maximize engine braking, elim -
inate  undesirable  upshifts  and  downshifts,
and  improve  overall  vehicle  performance.
This  system  can  also provide you  with  more
control during passing, city driving, cold slip -
pery  conditions,  mountain  driving,  trailer
towing, and many other situations. Operation
To  activate  AutoStick  mode,  move  the  gear
selector into the MANUAL (M) position (beside
the  DRIVE  position).  The  current  transmission
gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
In  AutoStick  mode,  you  can  use  the  gear
selector (in the MANUAL position) to manually
shift  the  transmission.  Tapping  the  gear
selector  forward  (-)  while  in  the  MANUAL  (M)
position will downshift  the transmission  to the
next  lower gear.  Tapping  the  selector  rearward
(+) will command an upshift.
In  AutoStick  mode,  the  transmission  will
shift  up  or  down  when  (+/-)  is  manually
selected  by  the  driver,  unless  an  engine
lugging or overspeed condition would result.
It  will  remain  in  the  selected  gear  until
another  upshift  or  downshift  is  chosen,
except as described below.
The transmission will automatically down
-
shift  as  the  vehicle  slows  (to  prevent
engine  lugging)  and  will  display  the
current gear.
