ANTI-THEFT ALARM
The active anti-theft system is designed to
warn you in the event of unauthorized
vehicle entry and is also designed to help
prevent unwanted towing of your vehicle.
You can choose what is monitored by arming
the system in different ways. See
Information Displays (page 134).
The direction indicators flash and the horn
sounds if the system triggers while the alarm
is armed.
Take all remote controls to an authorized
dealer if there is any potential alarm problem
with your vehicle.
Using the System
You can select two levels of alarm security.
You can change the level of security when
the ignition is switched off through the
information display with the two options
below: Perimeter Sensing (If Equipped)
Perimeter sensing monitors the following:
•
Doors.
• Hood.
• Liftgate.
All Sensors (If Equipped)
All sensors monitors the following:
• Doors.
• Hood.
• Liftgate.
• Movement inside your vehicle.
• Change in vehicle inclination, for
example, unwanted towing.
Note: Do not choose all sensors monitor
mode when the vehicle is in transport or if
movement within the vehicle is likely to
occur. Note:
For correct operation of the interior
motion detection system, make sure you
close all the windows prior to arming the
system. This helps prevent accidental alarm
activation due to external influences.
Additionally, the interior motion sensing
system does not arm if any door is ajar.
Arming the Alarm
The alarm is ready to arm when there is not
a key in the ignition. Lock your vehicle using
the remote control or keyless entry keypad.
You can also lock your vehicle using the lock
sensor on the exterior door handle if your
vehicle is equipped with intelligent access.
See
Locking and Unlocking (page 81).
The direction indicators flash once after you
lock your vehicle. This indicates the alarm is
in the pre-armed mode. It fully arms after 20
seconds.

You can use the power point for electric
devices that require up to 150 watts. It is on
the rear of the center console.
When the indicator light on the power point
is:
•
On: The power point is working, the
ignition is ON or the vehicle is in
accessory mode.
• Off: The power point is OFF, the ignition
is OFF or the vehicle is not in accessory
mode.
• Flashing: The power point is in fault
mode. Due to the different technologies used on
its construction, some devices may exceed
the capacity shown on its label when they
are initially plugged-in.
The power outlet temporarily turns off power
when in fault mode if the device exceeds the
150 watt limit. Unplug your device and switch
the ignition off. Switch the ignition back on,
but do not plug your device back in. Let the
system cool off and switch the ignition off to
reset the fault mode. Switch the ignition back
on and make sure the indicator light remains
on.
Do not use the power point for certain
electric devices, including:
•
Cathode-ray, tube-type televisions.
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools or compressor-driven refrigerators.
• Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical equipment
or measuring equipment.
• Other appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply such as
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets or touch-sensor lamps. WIRELESS ACCESSORY CHARGER
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Wireless charging
devices can affect the operation of
implanted medical devices, including
cardiac pacemakers. If you have any
implanted medical devices, we recommend
that you consult with your physician.
Note: Devices without built-in Qi wireless
charging receivers require an additional Qi
receiver or sleeve.
The system supports one Qi wireless
charging compatible device on the charging
area.
Keep the charging area clean and remove
foreign objects prior to charging a device.
Do not place items with a magnetic strip, for
example passports, parking tickets or credit
cards, near the charging area when charging
a device. Damage may occur to the magnetic
strip.

Deep Sand (If Equipped)
For crossing deep soft and dry sand.
Note: Using deep sand mode on dry hard
surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire wear. This mode is for slippery and loose
surfaces.
Excite
For sporty on-road driving. This mode
increases throttle response, provides a more
dynamic powertrain sound and steering feel,
along with a more sporty shifting experience.
If your vehicle has continuously controlled
damping suspension it adjusts to a stiffer
suspension setting, with an emphasis on
handling and control. The transmission also
holds gears longer, helping your vehicle
accelerate faster when shifting gears.
If your vehicle has air suspension, it lowers
approximately
0.6 in (15 mm) to improve
aerodynamics. Normal
For everyday driving. This mode is a perfect
balance of excitement, comfort and
convenience. This is the default mode after
each ignition cycle.
Preserve EV
Your vehicle runs the engine as needed to
save electric driving range for later use in
another drive mode. For example, you first
drive at high speeds on open roads where
engine operation is appropriate. Later, you
drive at low speeds in an urban area where
electric only is most efficient.
See Plug-In
Hybrid Vehicle Operation (page 222).
Pure EV
This mode provides an electric only driving
experience. Your vehicle could accelerate
more slowly, and the top speed could
reduce. For more power, you can temporarily
enable your engine at any time by using one
of the following methods: •
Press and hold the folder button on the
steering wheel when viewing the pure
EV information screen. Your vehicle
enables the engine as needed, and
returns to pure EV after several seconds,
or when the vehicle no longer needs the
engine.
• Press the accelerator pedal fully. A
pop-up message appears. Press OK on
the steering wheel to activate as needed.
Your vehicle could enable the engine if
system conditions require it. An engine
enabled message displays if this occurs. See
Information Messages
(page 140).
Your engine could enable if the climate
control is in a defrost mode and the outside
temperature is cold. If the vehicle does not
need defrost, select a different climate
control mode to permit pure EV.
Your vehicle changes from pure EV mode to
normal mode when the vehicle electric range
is zero.
Note: When in pure EV mode, your vehicle
stays in this mode if there is all electric
driving range available and the system does
not fault.

Study your owner's manual and any
supplements for specific information about
equipment features, instructions for safe
driving and additional precautions to reduce
the risk of an accident or serious injury.
All-wheel drive system (if equipped)
WARNING: Do not become
overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel drive
vehicle may accelerate better than a
two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at
a safe speed. A vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive has
the ability to use all four wheels to power
itself. This increases traction which may
enable you to safely drive over terrain and
road conditions that a conventional
two-wheel drive vehicle cannot. Power is
supplied to all four wheels through a transfer
case operation and drive mode selection.
See All-Wheel Drive (page 250). You should
become thoroughly familiar with this
information before you operate your vehicle.
Some limited All Wheel Drive (AWD) traction
may be provided if a temporary spare is
installed on one of the front wheels. If you
are in driving conditions where limited All
Wheel Drive (AWD) traction needed while a
temporary wheel is installed, it is
recommended the temporary spare be
installed on the front axle.
For all-wheel-drive vehicles, a spare tire of
a different size other than the tire provided
should never be used. A dissimilar spare tire
size; other than the spare tire provided or
major dissimilar tire sized between the front
and rear axles could cause the
all-wheel-drive system to stop functioning
and default to rear-wheel drive. How your vehicle differs from other
vehicles
Sport utility vehicles and trucks can differ
from some other vehicles in a few noticeable
ways. Your vehicle could be:
•
Higher - to allow higher load carrying
capacity and to allow it to travel over
rough terrain without getting hung up or
damaging underbody components.
• Shorter - to give it the capability to
approach inclines and drive over the
crest of a hill without getting hung up or
damaging underbody components. All
other things held equal, a shorter
wheelbase could make your vehicle
quicker to respond to steering inputs
than a vehicle with a longer wheelbase.
• Narrower - to provide greater
maneuverability in tight spaces,
particularly in off-road use.
