FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Sitting improperly, out
of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor. WARNING: Do not recline the seat
backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash. WARNING:
Do not place objects
higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash. WARNING: Do not adjust the driver
seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle. SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees
from the upright position.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of
10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

If it flashes, engine misfire could be
occurring. Increased exhaust gas
temperatures could damage the catalytic
converter or other vehicle components.
Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration,
and have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Powertrain Warning Lamp If it illuminates when the engine
is running, this indicates a
powertrain or four-wheel drive
fault. If it flashes when you are driving,
immediately reduce the vehicle speed.
Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration,
and have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
If both lamps illuminate when the engine
is running, stop your vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so. Continuing to drive your
vehicle could cause reduced power or the
engine to stop. Switch the ignition off and
attempt to restart the engine. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Before you start manual regeneration, do
the following:
•
Shift into park (P) and apply the
parking brake, on stable, level ground.
• Park your vehicle outside of any
structure.
• Park your vehicle 10– 15 ft (3–5 m)
away from any obstructions and away
from materials that can easily combust
or melt, for example paper, leaves,
petroleum products, fuels, plastics and
other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8
tank of fuel.
• Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
MANUAL REGENERATION
LIMITATIONS
You cannot use manual regeneration until
the diesel particulate filter load percentage
has reached 100%. The diesel particulate
filter load percentage fluctuates up and
down when driving your vehicle due to
active and passive regenerations.
If your vehicle is operated with significant
stationary operation, low speed drive
cycles less than
25 mph (40 km/h), short
drive cycles, drive time less than 15 minutes
or the vehicle does not fully warm up,
passive and active regeneration may not
sufficiently clean the diesel particulate
filter system.
Aftermarket devices or modifications to
the exhaust system may reduce the
effectiveness of the exhaust system as
well as cause damage to the exhaust
system or engine. This may also degrade
vehicle performance and could lead to
engine damage that may not be covered
by the vehicle Warranty. STARTING DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER MANUAL REGENERATION
Start with your vehicle engine and when it
has reached the normal operating
temperature, press the information display
control button on the steering wheel. See
Instrument Cluster Display
(page 178).
If the diesel particulate filter is near or at
saturation, a message requesting
permission to initiate filter cleaning
appears in the information display. See
What Is the Diesel Particulate Filter
(page 268). Answer yes to this prompt and
then follow the next prompts regarding
exhaust position required to initiate
manual regeneration. Be sure to
understand each prompt. If you are not
sure what is being asked by each prompt,
contact an authorized dealer. The display
confirms the operation has started and
when it has finished. You can also drive to
clean the filter. When the system is at the point
of oversaturation, the service
engine warning lamp illuminates
and a message appears in the information
display. You cannot initiate filter cleaning.
You must have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.
Once manual regeneration starts, engine
speed increases to approximately 1600
rpm and the cooling fan speed increases.
You will hear a change in audible sound
due to engine speed and cooling fan speed
increases.
It is not necessary to open the hood on the
engine compartment. Once manual
regeneration completes, the engine speed
returns to normal idling. The exhaust
system remains very hot for several
minutes even after regeneration is
complete. Do not reposition the vehicle
over materials that could burn until the

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
ignition off and remove the key before
you leave your vehicle. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use tow/haul
when the road surface is slippery. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle. WARNING:
When your vehicle is
stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property
damage. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITIONS
PARK (P)
This position locks the driveline and
prevents the wheels from turning. Come
to a complete stop before putting your
vehicle into and out of park (P). The electric parking brake could apply
when you shift to park (P) without the
brake pedal fully pressed. The electric
parking brake applies when you shift to
park (P) on large slopes. The electric
parking brake releases with the drive away
release function or manually. See Electric
Parking Brake
(page 311).
Note: A warning tone sounds if you open
the driver door and you have not shifted the
transmission selector to park (P).
See
Automatic Return to Park (P) (page 286).
REVERSE (R) WARNING:
Move the transmission
selector lever to reverse (R) only when
your vehicle is stationary and the engine
is at idle speed.
This position allows your vehicle to move
backward. Come to a complete stop
before shifting into and out of reverse (R).
NEUTRAL (N) WARNING:
In neutral (N) your
vehicle is free to roll.
In neutral (N) power is not transmitted to
the driven wheels.
DRIVE (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position, and
allows automatic upshifts and downshifts
through all available gears.
MANUAL (M)
To select manual mode press the (M)
button on the shifter.
