134STARTING AND OPERATING  
To Turn On The Engine Using ENGINE START/STOP 
Button
1. The transmission must be in PARK or  NEUTRAL.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while pushing  the ENGINE START/STOP button once.
To release the parking brake manually, the ignition 
switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Press on 
the brake pedal, then push the parking brake 
switch momentarily. If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the 
vehicle may Park.
PARK will engage 
ONLY when vehicle speed is 
1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.
The message “ Vehicle Speed is Too High to Shift 
to P ” will display in the instrument cluster display if 
vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). The 
gear position indicator will blink continuously until 
the gear selector is returned to the proper position, 
or the requested shift can be completed.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION 
(B
ELOW –22°F OR −30°C) 
To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, 
use of an externally powered electric engine block 
heater (available from an authorized dealer) is 
recommended.
AFTER STARTING — WARMING UP THE 
E
NGINE
The idle speed is controlled automatically and it 
will decrease as the engine warms up.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START 
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the 
following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after 
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, 
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above 
idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure your 
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.WARNING!
If vehicle speed is not below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) 
when the driver shifts into PARK, the 
transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the 
vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) 
and the above conditions are met, enabling 
AutoPark. A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position 
can roll. As an added precaution, always apply 
the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into 
the throttle body air inlet opening in an 
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result 
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to 
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an auto -
matic transmission cannot be started this 
way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic 
converter and once the engine has started, 
ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery, 
booster cables may be used to obtain a start 
from a booster battery or the battery in 
another vehicle. This type of start can be 
dangerous if done improperly  Ú page 300.

STARTING AND OPERATING143
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) — IF EQUIPPED 
This feature provides on-demand All-Wheel Drive 
(AWD). The system is automatic with no driver 
inputs or additional driving skills required. Under 
normal driving conditions, the front wheels provide 
most of the traction. If the front wheels begin to 
lose traction, power is shifted automatically to the 
rear wheels. The greater the front wheel traction 
loss, the greater the power transfer to the rear 
wheels.
Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy throttle 
input (where one may have no wheel spin), torque 
will be sent to the rear in a preemptive effort to 
improve vehicle launch and performance 
characteristics.
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise 
Cancellation system. This system is designed to 
address exhaust and engine noise. The system 
relies on four microphones embedded in the 
headliner, which monitor exhaust and engine  noise, and assists an onboard frequency 
generator, which creates counteracting sound 
waves in the audio system’s speakers. This helps 
keep the vehicle quiet at idle and during drive.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will provide 
increased vehicle response and ease of 
maneuverability. The power steering system 
adapts to different driving conditions.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the “POWER 
STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message is 
displayed on the instrument cluster screen, this 
indicates an over temperature condition in the 
power steering system. Once driving conditions are 
safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few 
moments until the icon and message turn off  
Ú
page 121.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING" or 
"POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF - 
SERVICE SYSTEM” message and a 
steering wheel icon are displayed on the 
instrument cluster screen, it indicates that the  vehicle needs to be taken to an authorized dealer 
for service. It is likely the vehicle has lost power 
steering assistance  Ú
page 121.
NOTE:
Even if the power steering assistance is no 
longer operational, it is still possible to steer 
the vehicle. Under these conditions there will be 
a substantial increase in steering effort, 
especially at low speeds and during parking 
maneuvers.
The power steering system is fully electric; it 
requires no power steering fluid.
If the condition persists, see an authorized 
dealer for service.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to reduce 
fuel consumption. The system will stop the engine 
automatically during a vehicle stop if the required 
conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal, 
pressing the accelerator pedal or shifting out of 
DRIVE (D) will automatically re-start the engine.
This vehicle has been upgraded with a heavy-duty 
starter, enhanced battery, and other upgraded 
engine parts to handle the additional engine starts.CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and type 
tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be used. 
Unequal tire size may cause premature wear of 
the driveline components.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could 
pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service 
should be obtained as soon as possible.

SAFETY237
NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire 
care and maintenance, or to provide warning of 
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure 
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire 
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel effi -
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the 
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire 
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility 
to maintain correct tire pressure using an accu -
rate tire pressure gauge, even if underinflation 
has not reached the level to trigger illumination 
of the TPMS Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire 
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual 
tire pressure in the tire.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses 
wireless technology with wheel rim mounted 
electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. 
Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the 
valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the 
receiver module.
NOTE:It is particularly important for you to check the tire 
pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly 
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
Receiver module
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors
Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
messages, which display in the instrument 
cluster
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
SERVICE TPMS WARNING
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure 
Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light will flash 
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on 
solid. The system fault will also sound a chime. In 
addition, the instrument cluster will display a 
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum 
of five seconds and then display dashes (--) in 
place of the pressure value to indicate which 
sensor is not being received.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original 
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures 
and warning have been established for the tire 
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable 
system operation or sensor damage may 
result when using replacement equipment 
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. 
The TPMS sensor is not designed for use on 
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to a 
poor overall system performance or sensor 
damage. Customers are encouraged to use 
OEM wheels to ensure proper TPMS feature 
operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
sensor to become inoperable. After using an 
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended 
that you take your vehicle to an authorized 
dealer to have your sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure 
always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will 
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the 
valve stem, which could damage the TPMS 
sensor.

314SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE  
(Continued)
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil 
must be maintained at the correct level. Check the 
oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel 
stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is 
about five minutes after a fully warmed up engine 
is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground 
will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
There are four possible dipstick types:
Crosshatched zone.
Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low 
end of the range and MAX at the high end of the 
range.
Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the 
MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch 
markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liter) of oil when the reading is 
at the low end of the dipstick range will raise the oil 
level to the high end of the range marking.
ADDING WASHER FLUID 
Windshield Washer Fluid Cap
The fluid reservoir is located in the front of the 
engine compartment. Be sure to check the fluid 
level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the 
reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not 
radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a 
few seconds to flush out the residual washer fluid.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take 
some washer fluid, apply it to a cloth or towel, and 
wipe clean the wiper blades; this will help blade 
performance. To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer 
system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture 
that meets or exceeds the temperature range of 
your climate. This rating information can be found 
on most washer fluid containers.
MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERY 
Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free 
battery. You will never have to add water, and 
periodic maintenance is not required.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will 
cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could 
damage your engine.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer 
solvents are flammable. They could ignite and 
burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or 
working around the washer solution.
WARNING!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and 
can burn or even blind you. Do not allow 
battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or 
clothing. Do not lean over a battery when 
attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or 
on skin, flush the area immediately with large 
amounts of water  Ú
