INTRODUCTION This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for both on-road and of f-road use. It can go places and perform tasks for which conventional two-wheel drive vehicles were not intended.
NOTE: After you read the manual, it should be stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and remain with the vehicle when sold so that the new owner will be aware of all safety warnings.
Failure to use driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury . In fact, the U.S. government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year , and could reduce disabling injuries by 2 million annually .

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Fob with Integrated Key and a W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the double-sided integrated key into the igni- tion switch with either side up.
Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) The Fob with Integrated Key operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans- mitter and a valet key , which stores in the rear of the Fob. The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead.
Ignition Key Removal Place the selector lever in “P” (Park). T urn the key to the LOCK position, and remove the key . NOTE: • If you try to remove the key befor e you place the selector lever in “P” (Park), it may become trapped temporarily in the ignition switch.
CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove key from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to r emove the key .

location. This number is requir ed for dealer replacement of Fobs. Duplication of Fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Pro- gramming procedur e. This procedur e consists of pro- gramming a blank Fob to the vehicle electronics.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the systems memory . This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be r epro- grammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to the dealer at the time of service to be repr ogrammed.
the door lock plunger located on the inside of the doors or with the driver’s door key lock cylinder , will not set the alarm. T o Disarm the System T o disarm the system, use the remote keyless entry transmitter . If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.
NOTE: Inserting the Fob with Integrated Key into the ignition switch disables all buttons on that transmitter; however , the buttons on the remaining transmitters will continue to work. Shifting the vehicle out of “P” (Park) disables all transmitter buttons for all Fobs.
Flash Lights with Remote Key Lock This feature will cause the turn signal lights to flash when the doors are locked or unlocked with the transmitter . This feature can be turned on or of f.
T o Release the Liftgate Flipper Glass Press the “Flipper Glass/T runk Release” button on the transmitter two times to release the flipper glass. W ARNING! Driving with the flipper glass open can allow poi- sonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
Programming Additional T ransmitters Refer to SENTR Y KEY “Customer Key (Fob) Program- ming.” If you do not have a programmed transmitter , contact your dealer for details. T ransmitter Battery Service The recommended r eplacement battery is one CR2032 battery .
General Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference r eceived, including interference that may cause undesir ed op- eration.
Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run for 15 minutes. T o cancel remote start, press the “Remote Start” button once. The parking lamps will remain illuminated to indicate that the vehicle has remote started and the engine is running. The lamps will turn of f when the ignition is turned to RUN or the remote start is cancelled.
The vehicle can be started remotely up to a maximum of two times. The vehicle is also allowed a maximum of one failed start, where the r emote start sequence was initiated but the engine stopped cranking without starting.
Power Door Locks The power door lock switch is located on each front door panel. Press the switch to lock or unlock the doors. If the plunger is down when the door is closed, the door will lock. Therefor e, make sure the keys ar e not inside the vehicle before closing the door .
Automatic Unlock on Exit Feature — Only A vailable if Auto Lock is Enabled This feature will unlock all the doors when the driver’s door is opened if the vehicle is stopped and in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
WINDOWS Power Windows The power window controls ar e located on the driver’s door trim panel. There is a single switch on the fr ont passenger door/rear doors which operates the fr ont passenger/rear passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCESSOR Y position.
Auto Down Both the driver and front passenger window switch has an “Auto Down” feature. Pr ess the window switch past the first detent, release, and the window will go down automatically . T o cancel the “Auto Down” movement, operate the switch in either the up or down direction and release the switch.
W ARNING! There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the window before closing. Resetting the Auto-Up Feature Should the Auto-Up feature stop working the window probably needs to be r eset.
open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buf feting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunr oof opening to minimize the buffeting. LIFTGA TE T o open the liftgate, pull up (squeeze) on the handle and lift.
Liftgate Flipper Glass The liftgate flipper glass is also unlocked when the liftgate is unlocked. T o open the flipper glass, push up on the window switch located on the liftgate. W ARNING! T o avoid injury stand back when opening. Glass will automatically rise.
Power Liftgate — If Equipped The power liftgate may be opened manually or by using the button on the remote keyless entry transmitter . Press the button on the remote keyless entry transmitter twice within five seconds, to open the power liftgate.
NOTE: • If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is closing or opening, the liftgate will automatically reverse to the closed or open position, pr ovided it meets sufficient r esistance. • There ar e also pinch sensors attached to the side of the liftgate.
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer injuries, including fatalities, if you are not properly buckled up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” Latch Plate Latch Plate T o Buckle THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 41 2 I n f .
W ARNING! A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The r etractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seating positions, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Pr ess the release button to r elease the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
How T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The driver and front passenger seat belts ar e equipped with a pretensioning device that is designed to r emove any slack from the seat belt systems in the event of a collision. This device improves the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight around the occupant early in a collision.
NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST AR T position. The manufacturer does not r ecom- mend deactivating the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert). 1. T urn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and buckle the driver’s seat belt.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger side airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Here ar e some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear facing child r estraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
How The Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module de- termines if a frontal, side, or r ollover collision is severe enough to requir e the front and/or side airbags to inflate. The front airbag inflators ar e designed to provide dif ferent rates of airbag inflation fr om direc- tion provided by the ORC.
• The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags.
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position every- one for the best interaction with the front airbag.
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you. W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to 5-seconds of specific vehicle data parameters (see the following list) in an event data recor der prior.

• Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status • T ire pressur e monitoring system status Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and “convertible” child seats.
Here ar e some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufactur er also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it.

belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt- positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt. Children T oo Large for Booster Seats Children who ar e large enough to we.
kits or retr o-fit kits. Y ou are urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle. NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints ar e stowed and out of reach of childr en.
install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces. In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear outboar d seating position located on the back of the seat.
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
If the seat belt has an automatic locking retractor , pull the belt from the r etractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child r estraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is all extracted from the r etractor .
For the outboard seating positions, r oute the tether over the head rests, and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the br eak-in and not interpreted as an indication of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor , torn webbing, etc.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect for tr ead cuts or sidewall cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness and tires (includ- ing spare) for pr oper pressur e.

help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in Section 5 of this manual for more information about ABS. W ARNING! ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions.
BAS (Brake Assist System) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional contr ol and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor - rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition.
W ARNING! ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would normally allow is requir ed to gain traction. T o turn ESP on again, momentarily depr ess the 9 ESP OFF” switch.
In this mode, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, ar e turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At 40 mph (64 km/h) the system returns to “Partial Of f” mode, described above.
a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At 40 mph (64 km/h), the normal ESP stability function r eturns but TCS remains off. When the vehicle speed dr ops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESP system shuts of f.
swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recommendations. Refer to “T railer T owing” in Section 5 of this manual for more information on towing a trailer with your vehicle.
HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: • V ehicle must be stopped. • V ehicle must be on a 8% grade or greater hill. • Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle back- ing uphill is in R (Reverse) gear).
W ARNING! • If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer , your trailer brakes may be activated and deactivated with the brake switch. If so, when the brake pedal is released there may not be enough brake pressure to hold the vehicle and trailer on a hill and this could cause a collision with another vehicle or object behind you.
When HDC is enabled properly , the message “HILL DESCENT CONTROL” will appear in the EVIC and the light in the switch will be illuminated. HDC will auto- matically apply the brakes to control downhill speed when necessary . HDC has the capability to sense terrain and will only activate when the vehicle is descending a hill.
HDC also has the capability to sense rough terrain, and will automatically adjust to a slightly slower set speed (about.3 mph (.5 km/h) than normal. HDC operation can be overridden with brake application to slow the vehicle down below the HDC control speed.
If the “ESP/BAS W arning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a mal- function has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system, or both.
Rear Park Assist Sensors The four Rear Park Assist Sensors, located in the r ear fascia, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view . The monitored area seems oval in shape. The sensors can detect obstacles from appr oximately 1 1.
The system dimly illuminates the two outer most yellow LED’s when it is ON and detecting no obstacles. The following chart shows the warning display operation when the system is detecting an obstacle: W ARNING DISPLA Y DIST ANCES DISPLA Y LED OBST ACLE DIST ANCE FROM: LED COLOR AUDIBLE SIGNAL REAR CORNERS REAR CENTER 1st LED 59 in.
NOTE: The Rear Park Assist system will MUTE the radio, if on, when the system is sounding an audio tone. Enable/Disable the Rear Park Assist System The Rear Park Assist System can be enabled and disabled with a switch located on the upper switch bank of the instrument panel.

NOTE: Regardless of the type of operation, when a temperature knob is set to the full clockwise or full counterclockwise position, the system will deliver full hot or full cold air out of the ducts, respectively .
Air flows through the r egisters in the back of the center console, and under the front seats to the r ear seat passengers. These registers can be closed to block airflow . The center console outlets deliver conditioned air while the floor outlets deliver heated air .
Rear Climate Control — If Equipped The Manual Rear Climate Control system has one floor air outlet (passenger side), and two panel outlets in the rear quarter trim (on each side). The unit pr ovides warm or cool air through the floor and upper outlets.
The rear temperatur e, blower speed, and mode control can be adjusted as desired by the thir d row seat occupants. NOTE: The rear climate contr ol system cannot be con- trolled fr om the front seat; it can only be turned on and off. All control of the r ear system must be performed by the rear occupants.
Rear T emperature Control The center knob on the Rear Control Panel allows the third r ow seat occupants to have control of the r ear temperature as follows: • When the temperature knob is in the cold (Blue) position, cold air will be delivered fr om the outlets.
Regular cleaning of the inside of the windows with a non-filming cleaning solution (vinegar and water works very well) will help prevent contaminates (cigar ette smoke, perfumes, etc.) from sticking to the windows. Contaminates increase the rate of window fogging.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Normal Starting The gear selector must be in the “N” (Neutral) or “P” (Park) position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear . NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal.
If Engine Fails to Start W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury . • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
After Starting The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather .
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P (Park) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Using a flat blade screwdriver , carefully r emove the shift lock manual override cover which is located on the PRNDL bezel. 3. Depress and maintain firm pressur e on the brake pedal. 4. Using the screwdriver , reach into the manual override opening.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock System This system prevents you fr om moving the gear shift out of P (Park) and into any gear unless the brake pedal is pressed. This system is active only while the ignition switch is in the ON position. Always depress the brake pedal first, before moving the gear selector out of P (Park).
W ARNING! Never use P (Park) position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.
Electronic Range Select (ERS)Operation The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift contr ol allows you to move the shifter left (-) or right (+) when the shifter is in the D (Drive) position, allowing the selection of the desired top gear .
NOTE: T o select the proper gear position for maximum deceleration (engine braking), move the shift lever to the left “D(-)” and hold it there. The transmission will shift to the range from which the vehicle can best be slowed down. Overdrive Operation The automatic transmission includes an electronically controlled Over drive (5th gear for 3.
OVER TEMP” message may display and the transmis- sion may downshift out of Overdrive until the transmis- sion cools down. After cool down, the transmission will resume normal operation. In high ambient temperatures with sustained high engine speed and load, an upshift followed shortly thereafter by a downshift may occur .

selector in N (Neutral) for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize over heat- ing and reduce the risk of transmission failur e during prolonged ef forts to free a stuck vehicle.
Quadra-T rac II T Operating Instructions/Precautions — If Equipped The Quadra-T rac II t transfer case is fully automatic in the normal driving 4 HI mode. The Quadra-T rac II t transfer case provides thr ee mode positions — four wheel drive high range, neutral, and four wheel drive low range.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.
Shifting Procedures 4H It o4L O W W ith the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), key ON or engine running, shift the transmission into N (Neutral), and raise the transfer case T -handle. “The 4WD LOW Indicator Lamp” in the instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when the shift is complete.
LOW Indicator Lamp” in the instrument cluster will flash and go out when the shift is complete. Release the T -handle. NOTE: If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature pr otection condition exists, a “CHECK SHIFT PROCEDURES” message will flash from the EVIC (Electr onic V ehicle Information Cen- ter).
5. Repeat Steps 1– 4 to shift out of Neutral. NOTE: If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a “CHECK SHIFT PROCEDURES” message will flash from the EVIC (Electronic V ehicle Information Center). Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual.
ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-r oad applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars.
CAUTION! When driving through water , do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h). Always check water depth before entering as a precaution, and check all fluids afterward. Driving through water may cause damage that may not be covered by the new vehicle limited warranty .
Driving In Snow , Mud and Sand In heavy snow , when pulling a load, or for additional control at slower speeds, shift the transmission to a low gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD LOW if necessary . Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in this section.
Remember , never drive diagonally across a hill-always drive straight up or down. If the wheels start to slip as you approach the cr est of a hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain forwar d motion by turning the front wheels slowly . This may provide a fresh “bite” into the surface and will usually pr ovide traction to complete the climb.
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water , or similar dirty conditions, have brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking.
Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever is in the P (Park) position. When parking on a hill, you should apply the parking brake before placing the gear shift lever in P (Park), otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of P (Park).
When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
W ARNING! Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
CAUTION! The Anti-Lock Brake System is subject to possible detrimental effects of electronic interference caused by improperly installed after-market radios or telephones. NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard.
build up between the tire tr ead and the road. This hydroplaning action can cause loss of traction, braking ability , and control. • After going through deep water or a car wash, brakes may become wet, resulting in decr eased performance and unpredictable braking action.
CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible. Damage to the power steering pump may occur . MUL TI DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) — 5.

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
314 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE CHAINS Only models fitted with 235/65R17XL (extra load) tires have sufficient tir e-to-body clearance to allow use of tire chains.
aggressive tr ead designs such as those on On/Off Road type tires. Rotation will incr ease tread life, help to main- tain mud, snow , and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.

10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) will turn OFF the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” as long as none of the road tir es are below the low pr essure warning threshold.
The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) consists of the following components: • Receiver Module • 4 T ire Pressur e Monitoring Sensors • 3 T rigger Modules (mounted in three of the four wheel .
NOTE: Y our system can be set to display pressure units in PSI, kPa, or BAR. Should a low tire condition occur on any of the four active road tir e(s), you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate the low tire(s) that is flashing on the graphic display to the vehicle’s recommended cold tir e pressur e.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will no longer flash, the 9 CHECK TPM SYSTEM 9 text message will not be present, and a pr essure value will be displayed instead of dashes.

General Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference.
using high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane range of 87 to 89. The manufacturer r ecommends the use of 89 octane for optimum performance. The use of premium gasoline is not r ecommended.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and would result in additional cost. Ther efore you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
CAUTION! Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler cap (gas cap) can operate on E-85. ETHANOL FUEL (E-85) E-85 is a mixture of appr oximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury . Never have any smok- ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when remov- ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never use it near an open flame.
Selection Of Engine Oil For Flexible Fuel V ehicles (E-85) and Gasoline V ehicles Whether operating the vehicle on an E-85 ethanol fuel or unleaded gasoline the engine oil requir ements are the same. Refer to “Maintenance Procedur es” in Section 7 of this manual for the proper quality and viscosity engine oil.
CAUTION! • Replacing fuel system components with non- ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle. • Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your vehicle.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control sys- tem could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after- market cap can cause the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the Malfunction Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
W ARNING! • Never add fuel when the engine is running. • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the tank filled.
Each axle GA WR is determined by the components in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires, or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension components sometimes specified by purchasers for in- creased durability does not necessarily incr ease the vehi- cle’s GVWR.
or rear axles has been exceeded but the total load is within the specified GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from fr ont to rear or r ear to front as appr opriate until the specified weight limitations are met. Stor e the heavier items down low and be sure that the weight is distributed equally .
Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its 9 loaded and ready for operation 9 condition. The r ecom- mended way to measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.

HAZARD W ARNING FLASHERS Y our vehicle’s hazard warning flasher is an emergency warning system. When you activate it, all front and r ear directional signals will flash intermittently . Use it when your vehicle is disabled on or near the road. It warns other drivers to steer clear of you and your vehicle.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEA TS In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appr opriate ac- tion. • On the highways — Slow down. • In city traffic — While stopped, put transmission in N (Neutral), but do not increase engine idle speed.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
Spare Tire Stowage The spare tir e is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by means of a cable winch mechanism. T o remove or stow the spare, use the jack handle to r otate the “spare tir e drive” nut. The nut is located under a plastic cover at the center-r ear of the cargo floor ar ea, just inside the liftgate opening.
CAUTION! The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only . Use of an air wrench or other power tools is not recommended and can dam- age the winch. When the spare is clear , tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the center of the wheel.
Jacking Instructions 1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and tools fr om storage. 2. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground. 3. Assemble the jack and jacking tools as shown.
4. Locate the jack as shown. For the front axle, place it under the front lower contr ol arm as shown. For the rear axle, place it under the axle near the wheel to be changed. Ensure the jack is closest to the inside of the wheel when jacking on the rear axle.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel. 7. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel.
NOTE: T ire should be stowed with the “beauty” side up. Storing the tire upside down may r esult in scratching or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the tire until you hear the winch “ratchet” thr ee times. Double check to ensure the tir e is snug against the underbody of the vehicle.
W ARNING! Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other . If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water .
5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery . Make sure you have a good contact on the engine.
W ARNING! • Y ou should not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing. • Do not connect the cable to the negative post of the discharge battery . The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode. • During cold weather when temperatures are be- low freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze.
W ARNING! Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. T ow straps and chains may break, causing serious injury . TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE 2WD Models Only Provided the transmission is operable, tow only in N (Neutral) at speeds not exceeding 30 mph (48 km/h), for distances of not more than 15 miles (24 km).

CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for recommended engine oil change intervals.
NOTE: V ehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine must use SAE 5W -20 oil. Failure to do so may result in impr oper operation of the Multiple Displacement System (MDS).
Engine Oil Filter Selection All of the manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider - ably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for recommended Engine Air Cleaner Filter change intervals. W ARNING! The air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc) can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an Authorized Dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer appr oved A/C System Sealers, Stop Leak Products, Seal Conditioners, Compr es- sor Oil, and Refrigerants. Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar - bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pr o- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving pr oduct.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts, and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level.
Windshield Wiper Blades The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner to remove accumulations of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh antifreeze/coolant. Check the fr ont of the A/C condenser for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty , clean by gently spraying water from a gar den hose vertically down the face of the condenser .
CAUTION! Mixing of antifreeze/coolant other than the specified HOA T antifreeze/coolant may result in decreased corrosion protection and engine damage. If a non- HOA T antifreeze/coolant is introduced into the cool- ing system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified antifreeze/coolant as soon as pos- sible.
• Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion- ized water when mixing the water/antifreeze (cool- ant) solution. The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corr osion protection in the engine cooling system.
Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant is a r egu- lated substance requiring pr oper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate. • Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check antifreeze/coolant fr eeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle.
Pay particular attention to the hoses nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect hose r out- ing to be sure hoses do not touch any heat sour ce or moving component that may cause heat damage or mechanical wear . Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed.
Brake and Power Steering System Hoses When servicing the vehicle for scheduled maintenance, inspect surface of hoses for evidence of heat and me- chanical damage. Hard and brittle r ubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling suggest deteriora- tion of the rubber .
fluid reservoir . W ith disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear . However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended brake fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Front/Rear Axle Fluid Front Axle Fluid Level Check Lubricant should be to the bottom of the oil fill hole. Rear Axle Fluid Level Check Lubricant should be 1/2” (1 cm) below the oil fill hole. Adding Fluid Add lubricant only at the fill hole and only to the level specified above.
CAUTION! When installing plugs, do not overtighten. Y ou could damage them and cause them to leak. Selection of Lubricant Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level. CAUTION! The fluid level is preset at the factory and it does not require adjustment under normal operating condi- tions. If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your authorized dealer immediately .
the fluid is low , add as required into the dipstick tube. Do not overfill. After adding any quantity of oil through the oil fill tube, wait a minimum of two (2) minutes for the oil to fully drain into the transmission before r echecking the fluid level.
Special Additives Automatic T ransmission Fluid (A TF) is an engineered product and its performance may be impair ed by supple- mental additives. Therefor e, do not add any fluid addi- tives to the transmission. The only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
CAUTION! • Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces. • Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in damage or removal of paint and decals.
Wheel and Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels should be cleaned r egularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corr osion. T o remove heavy soil, use Mopar t Wheel Cleaner or select a non- abrasive, non-acidic cleaner .
W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed areas they may cause respiratory harm. Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle has plastic headlights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights.
2. Dry with a soft tissue. Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use Mopar t T otal Clean, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water .
