Do not leave the transmitter or device that
disarms or deactivates the vehicle theft
system in the vehicle.
When equipped with a key, if the engine
still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key.
It may be necessary to check the fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers 0336. If the
engine still does not start with the other
key, the vehicle needs service. If the vehicle
does start, the first key may be faulty. See
your dealer. It is possible for the
immobilizer system to learn new or
replacement keys. Up to eight keys can be
programmed for the vehicle. To program
additional keys, see Keys (Key Access)07or
Keys (Keyless Access) 09. Do not leave the
key or device that disarms or deactivates
the vehicle theft system in the vehicle.
See your dealer to get a new key blank cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the
system.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make things, like
other vehicles, look farther away than
they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the right lane, you could hit a
vehicle on the right. Check the inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Standard Mirrors
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped.
A convex mirror's surface is curved so more
can be seen from the driver seat.
Trailer-Tow Mirrors
The upper portion of both the driver and
passenger mirrors is flat.
The lower portion of both the driver and
passenger mirrors is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be
seen from the driver seat. The lower portion
is adjusted manually.
Manual Mirrors
If equipped, adjust manual mirrors by
moving the mirror up and down or left to
right to see a little of the side of the vehicle
and to have a clear view behind the vehicle.
Using hood-mounted air deflectors and
add-on convex mirror attachments could
decrease mirror performance.
Trailer-Tow Mirrors
Extending Mirrors
Trailer tow mirrors can extend out for better
visibility when towing a trailer.

Instruments and Controls 103
If the ignition is turned off while the wipers
are performing wipes due to windshield
washing, the wipers continue to run until
they reach the base of the windshield.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading and other
information from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle speed information.
The compass system is designed to operate
for a certain number of miles or degrees of
turn before needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass display shows
CAL, drive the vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS signal
is restored and provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time / Date"
underSettings 0184.
Power Outlets
Accessory power outlets can be used to plug
in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone
or MP3 player.
Rear of Front Center Console
The vehicle has one accessory power outlet
under the climate control system and one
accessory power outlet on the rear of the
center console, if equipped, or on the rear of
the bench seat, if equipped.
Lift the cover to access and replace when
not in use.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the outlets.
Do not leave electrical equipment
plugged in when the vehicle is not in use
because the vehicle could catch fire and
cause injury or death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 15 amp
rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure
to follow the proper installation instructions
included with the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0303.

Lighting 143
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument cluster flashes
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Move the turn signal lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Partially raise or lower the lever for less
than one second until the arrow starts to
flash to signal a lane change. This causes
the turn signals to automatically flash three
times. It will flash six times if Tow/Haul
Mode is active. Holding the turn signal lever
for more than one second will cause the
turn signals to flash until the lever is
released.
The lever returns to its starting position
whenever it is released.If after signaling a turn or a lane change the
arrows flash rapidly or do not come on, a
signal bulb could be burned out. If equipped
with LED turn signals, see your dealer.
Replace any burned out bulbs. If a bulb is
not burned out, check the fuse. See
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers 0336.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than
1.2 km (0.75 mi), a chime sounds at each
flash of the turn signal. A message may
appear in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Vehicle Messages 0130. To turn
the chime and message off, move the turn
signal lever to the off position.
Fog Lamps
If equipped, the fog lamp control is near the
exterior lamp control to the left of the
steering column.
The vehicle must be on for the fog lamps to
come on.
#: Press to turn the fog lamps on or off.
A light will come on in the instrument
cluster.
When the fog lamps are turned on, the
parking lamps automatically turn on.
When the headlamps are changed to high
beam, the fog lamps also go off. When the
high-beam headlamps are turned off, the fog
lamps will come on again.

Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to
protect against an electrical system
overload.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the current load
returns to normal or the problem is fixed.
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems. Fuses and circuit breakers protect power
devices in the vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse
needs to be replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature
of the vehicle that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad
fuse with a fuse of the identical size and
rating.

Replacing a Blown Fuse
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Locate the fuse puller on the instrumentpanel end cap. See the Instrument Panel
Fuse Block (Right) 0341 or
Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Left) 0339.
3. Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse
from the top or side, as shown above. 4. If the fuse must be replaced
immediately, spare fuses are also
provided on the instrument panel end
cap or borrow a replacement fuse with
the same amperage from the fuse block.
Choose a vehicle feature that is not
needed to safely operate the vehicle.
Repeat Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to
replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps
to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the lamps go on and
off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy
snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy
snow or ice may cause wiper linkage
