5. Turn Signal and Wiper / Washer Control
To use your windshield wiper/
washers: for a single swipe, push
the end of the control briefly; push
and hold for three swipes with
wash, or hold for a longer wash
(up to ten seconds). The bars of
varying length are for intermittent
wipers. Rotate the windshield wiper control upward
for fast intervals and downward for slow intervals.
6. Hazard Flasher Control
The hazard flasher is located on
the steering column, just behind
the steering wheel. Press the
flasher control and all front and
rear direction signals will flash;
press the control again to
deactivate the feature.
1.ABS Warning Light
Your anti-lock braking system (ABS)
detects the onset of wheel lockup
during brake applications and helps prevent
wheels from locking during extreme braking
situations. The ABS warning light will illuminate
when you start the vehicle’s engine. If the light
remains illuminated, continues to flash, or fails to
illuminate, see an authorized dealer’s service
department immediately.
2. Service Engine Soon Light
The Service Engine Soon indicator light is located
in the instrument cluster and illuminates when the
engine is started. If the light remains illuminated, it
may signal a problem with the On Board
Diagnostics System (OBD-II), consult your Owner’s
Guide for additional information. If the light is
blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage the vehicle’s catalytic converter. If blinking
occurs, drive in a moderate fashion and have your
vehicle serviced immediately by an authorized dealer.
3. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
When the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. You should stop and
check the tires as soon as possible, and inflate them
to the proper pressure, as shown on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label (located on the edge
of the driver’s door jamb or B-pillar). Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and
can eventually lead to tire failure.
Note:
Outside temperatures affect
tire pressure; refer to the Owner’s
Guide for additional
tire information.
7. Speed Control
To engage speed control, ensure
a vehicle speed of 30 mph or
greater, and press ON, then
momentarily press SET+. To set a
higher speed, press and hold SET
+, then release the control when
you have reached your desired
speed. To set a lower speed,
press and hold SET – until you
have reached
your desired
speed, or
depress the
brake pedal
and press the
SET + control.
To return to a previously set
speed faster than 30 mph, press
RES. To disengage speed
controls, depress the brake pedal
or press OFF.
8. Headlamp and Panel
Dimmer Control
The headlamp control is located
on the lower left portion of the
instrument panel. The first
clockwise position controls
the parking lamps; the second
clockwise position controls the
headlamps. If
your vehicle is
equipped with
fog lamps, pull
the control out
one position
to activate the
lamps to aid visibility in fog, snow
or rain. The autolamps feature (if
equipped) automatically
activates/deactivates your
headlamps as necessary. To use
the autolamps feature, rotate
the control counterclockwise; to
deactivate the feature, place the
control in the O (Off) position.
9. Parking Brake Release
Pull the release lever to release
the parking brake. Driving with
the parking brake engaged will
cause the brakes to wear out
prematurely and reduce fuel
economy. The parking brake is
not recommended to stop a
moving vehicle. However, if
normal brakes fail, the parking
brake can be used to stop your
vehicle in an emergency. Because
the parking brake applies only the
rear brakes, the vehicle’s
stopping distance will increase
greatly and the handling of your
vehicle will be adversely affected.
10. Four-Wheel Drive
(if equipped) When 4X4
AUTO is selected, power is
automatically provided to all four
wheels. It is used for normal
street and highway driving.
4X4 HIGH is used for extra
traction in slippery conditions,
such as in snow, on icy roads,
or in off-road situations. It
should not be operated on dry
pavement. 4X4 LOW can be
selected to provide extra gearing
to deliver maximum power to all
four wheels. It is intended only
for off-road applications such as
deep sand, steep grades or
pulling heavy objects.
11. AdvanceTrac® with Roll
Stability Control (RSC®)
The AdvanceTrac® with RSC®
system enhances your vehicle’s
stability during maneuvers that
require all available tire traction,
like in wet/snowy/icy road
conditions and/or when
performing emergency
maneuvers. In an emergency lane
change, the driver will
experience better overall vehicle
traction, and have better control
of the vehicle. The AdvanceTrac®
with RSC®
button allows
the driver to
turn off certain
features of the
AdvanceTrac®
with RSC®
system for speeds below 25 mph
(40 km/h). To deactivate, please
refer to the Owner’s Guide for
additional information.
12. Power Adjustable Foot
Pedals
(if equipped)
Press and hold the control to
adjust the position of the
accelerator
and brake
pedal forward
or away from
you, to a
maximum of
three inches of
travel. The accelerator and brake
pedal should only be adjusted
when the vehicle is stopped and
the gearshift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
13. Heated Seats
(if equipped)
The heated seat controls are
located in the lower center of the
instrument panel. To operate the
heated seat function, push the
control to activate and push again
to deactivate.
14. Heated Windshield
(if equipped)
The heated windshield control is
located on the instrument panel
just under the climate controls
behind the gear shift lever. To
activate the heated windshield,
push the control. During initial
start-up, the windshield may have
a shimmering
appearance.
This is normal
operation and
will only last for
approximately
one minute.
The heated windshield will turn
off automatically after a period of
eight minutes if the outside
temperature is below 40˚F or a
period of four minutes when the
outside temperature is above
40˚F. To manually turn off the
heated windshield before the
specified time has passed, push
the control switch again.
15. Gearshift / Overdrive
(O/D) Control
Overdrive is the normal
driving position for the best fuel
economy, and can be deactivated
by pressing the transmission
control switch
on the side of
the gearshift
lever. This
position allows
for all forward
gears except
overdrive, provides engine
braking and should be used when
driving conditions cause
excessive shifting from O/D to
other gears, such as city traffic,
hilly terrain and trailer towing.
