234 Driving and Operating
{Warning
When driving off-road,
bouncing and quick changes
in direction can easily throw
you out of position. This
could cause you to lose
control and crash. You and
your passengers should
always wear seat belts.
Before Driving Off-Road
.Have all necessary
maintenance and service
work completed.
.Fuel the vehicle, fill fluid
levels, and check inflation
pressure in all tires, including
the spare, if equipped.
.Read all the information
about AWD vehicles in this
manual.
.Make sure all underbody
shields, if equipped, are
properly attached.
.Know the local laws that
apply to off-road driving.To gain more ground
clearance if needed, it may be
necessary to remove the front
fascia lower air dam. However,
driving without the air dam
reduces fuel economy.
Caution
Operating the vehicle for
extended periods without
the front fascia lower air
dam installed can cause
improper airflow to the
engine. Reattach the front
fascia air dam after off-road
driving.
Loading the Vehicle for
Off-Road Driving
{Warning
.Unsecured cargo on the
load floor can be tossed
about when driving over
rough terrain. You or your
passengers can be struck
by flying objects. Secure
the cargo properly.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Keep cargo in the cargo
area as far forward and as
low as possible. The
heaviest things should be
on the floor, forward of
the rear axle.
.Heavy loads on the roof
raise the vehicle's center
of gravity, making it more
likely to roll over. You can
be seriously or fatally
injured if the vehicle rolls
over. Put heavy loads
inside the cargo area, not
on the roof.
For more information about
loading the vehicle, see
Vehicle Load Limits 0242.
Environmental Concerns
.Always use established
trails, roads, and areas that
have been set aside for
public off-road recreational
driving and obey all posted
regulations.

Check the heater cord for
damage. If it is damaged,
do not use it. See your
dealer for a replacement.
Inspect the cord for
damage yearly.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC
outlet.
{Warning
Improper use of the heater
cord or an extension cord
can damage the cord and
may result in overheating
and fire.
.Plug the cord into a
three-prong electrical
utility receptacle that is
protected by a ground
fault detection function.
An ungrounded outlet
could cause an electric
shock.
.Use a weatherproof,
heavy-duty, 15 amp-rated
extension cord if needed.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Failure to use the
recommended extension
cord in good operating
condition, or using a
damaged heater or
extension cord, could
make it overheat and
cause a fire, property
damage, electric shock,
and injury.
.Do not operate the vehicle
with the heater cord
permanently attached to
the vehicle. Possible
heater cord and
thermostat damage could
occur.
.While in use, do not let the
heater cord touch vehicle
parts or sharp edges.
Never close the hood on
the heater cord.
.Before starting the
vehicle, unplug the cord,
reattach the cover to the
plug, and securely fasten(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the cord. Keep the cord
away from any moving
parts.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and
store the cord as it was
before to keep it away
from moving engine parts.
If you do not it could be
damaged.
The length of time the heater
should remain plugged in
depends on several factors.
Ask a dealer in the area where
you will be parking the vehicle
for the best advice on this.

fairly level ground, always
set the EPB and shift the
vehicle to P (Park). If you are
towing a trailer, see Driving
Characteristics and Towing
Tips0314.
If you have to leave the vehicle
with the engine running, be
sure the vehicle is in P (Park)
and the EPB is set before you
leave it. See Electric Parking
Brake 0264.

284 Driving and Operating
{Warning
Camera visibility may be
limited and the ACC system
may not work properly if the
windshield is not clear. Do
not use ACC if moisture is
present on the inside of the
windshield or the windshield
washer is used in cold
weather. Turn on the front
defroster and make sure the
windshield is clear before
using ACC. Before driving,
check that the windshield
wipers are in good condition
and replace them if worn.
Accessory Installations and
Vehicle Modifications
Do not install or place any
object around the front
camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of
the vehicle that overhang and
obstruct the front camera, such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be
transported on a roof rack
system. See Roof Rack
System
0106.
Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror and the radar
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These
areas need to be cleaned for
ACC to operate properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular
cruise control may be
available. See “Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” in this section.
Always consider driving
conditions before using either
cruise control system. For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle”
under
Exterior Care 0412.
Driver Assistance
Systems
This vehicle may have features
that work together to help
avoid crashes or reduce crash
damage while driving, backing,
and parking. Read this entire
section before using these
systems.
{Warning
Do not rely on the Driver
Assistance Systems. These
systems do not replace the
need for paying attention
and driving safely. You may
not hear or feel alerts or
warnings provided by these
systems. Failure to use
proper care when driving
may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. See
Defensive Driving 0230.
