•
Plan your journey and check the traffic
before you set off. It is more efficient
to combine errands into a single trip
whenever possible.
• Avoid idling the engine in cold weather
or for extended periods. Start the
engine only when you are ready to set
off.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle as extra weight wastes fuel.
• Do not add unnecessary accessories
to the exterior of your vehicle, for
example running boards. If you use a
roof rack, remember to fold it down or
remove it when not in use.
• Do not shift into neutral when you are
braking or when your vehicle is slowing
down.
• Shut all windows when driving at high
speeds.
• Switch off all electric systems when
not in use, for example air conditioning.
Make sure that you unplug any
accessories from the auxiliary power
points when not in use.
DRIVING IN SPECIAL
CONDITIONS
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
In an unavoidable emergency where you
must make a sudden sharp maneuver, turn
the steering wheel only as rapidly and as
far as required to avoid the emergency.
Apply smooth pressure to the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal as needed. Avoid
abrupt steering, acceleration and braking
changes. Abrupt changes could increase
the risk of vehicle roll over, loss of vehicle
control and personal injury. If possible, use
any available road surfaces to bring your
vehicle under control. FLOOR MATS WARNING: Use a floor mat
designed to fit the footwell of your
vehicle that does not obstruct the pedal
area. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Pedals that cannot
move freely can cause loss of vehicle
control and increase the risk of serious
personal injury. WARNING:
Secure the floor mat
to both retention devices so that it
cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the pedals. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING: Do not place additional
floor mats or any other covering on top
of the original floor mats. This could
result in the floor mat interfering with the
operation of the pedals. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Always make sure that
objects cannot fall into the driver foot
well while your vehicle is moving. Objects
that are loose can become trapped
under the pedals causing a loss of
vehicle control.

WHAT ARE THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier with six prewired switches
connected to the power distribution box.
Each circuit is individually fused for
connection of electrical accessories.
For maximum vehicle performance, keep
the following information in mind when
adding accessories or equipment to your
vehicle:
•
When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the safety compliance
certification label). Ask an authorized
dealer for specific weight information.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that
any equipment you have fitted
complies with applicable local
legislation.
• An authorized dealer needs to install
mobile communication systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if the manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.
• If you or an authorized dealer add any
electrical or electronic accessories or
components not produced by us to
your vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of the other electrical
systems in the vehicle. LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier with six prewired switches
connected to the power distribution box.
The circuits are individually fused for
connection of electrical accessories.
The switches have labels for AUX 1 through
AUX 6. They only operate when the ignition
is in the on position, whether the engine is
running or not. We recommend that you
leave the engine running to maintain
battery charge when using the switches
for an extended time or when using higher
current draw accessories. When you turn
on a switch, the indicator light on the
switch illuminates and the circuit provides
power to the device wired to that switch.
Note:
AUX switch 1 operates the off-road
lamps when your vehicle comes with this
option.

LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCH WIRING
There are three sets of blunt-cut and
sealed circuits. Two sets are under the
hood and behind the battery tray, and one
set is inside your vehicle at the passenger
footwell.
The powered set (A) is taped behind the
battery tray and has a red spot tape mark.
The second set (B) is also under the hood.
It is taped behind the battery tray and has
a white spot tape mark. This set routes to
the interior passenger footwell.
Remove the battery and battery tray to
access the underhood circuits. The interior set is taped on a wire harness
by the passenger side footwell. This set is
the other end of the circuits taped behind
the battery tray, with a white spot tape
mark.
Remove the fuse panel access door in the
kick panel to access the wires. If you do not
see them, you may need to pull them
down.
See Fuses (page 472). See your authorized
dealer for service.
Circuits from the under hood fuse box (A)
are powered. All other circuits (B-E) are
not connected at either end.
Additional information on fuse and relay
locations is available. See
Fuses (page
472). See your authorized dealer for service.
