 Always sit properly in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Always observe the passenger air 

bag indicator lamp to determine if the OCS classifi cation is appropriate. Children 12 and under 
should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system, or the seat belt 
positioned correctly for the child’s age and weight. 

(2)

 4x4 models only.

No system, no matter how 

sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is 
limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning 
lamp in the speedometer fl ashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving 
behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always 
wear your seat belt.

 Not compatible with aftermarket fabric-protecting coatings.

 MyGIG in-dash 

DVD capability is not available in all states. See your dealer for details.
