The upper outlet is controlled by the ignition switch and the lower outlet is connected directly to the battery. The upper outlet will also operate a conventional cigar lighter unit (if equipped with an optional Smoker’s Package). A third outlet is located on the driver’s side, just to the rear of the sliding door and is also controlled by the ignition switch. The lower and rear outlets will not accommodate a conventional cigar lighter unit. Rear Power Outlet The outlets include tethered caps labeled with a key or battery symbol indicating the power source. The lower instrument panel outlet is powered directly from the battery, items plugged into this outlet may discharge the battery and/or prevent engine starting. The lower outlet is protected by an automatic reset circuit breaker. The automatic circuit breaker restores power when the overload is removed. The circuit breaker also supplies power to the outlet in the removable floor console, when in the front position. Refer to section 3 “Removable Floor Console” in this manual. If desired, all of the power outlets can be NOTE: converted by your authorized dealer to provide power with the ignition switch in the OFF position. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 169 Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off CAUTION! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting. • Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution. • After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery. • Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage. 170 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE CONVENIENCE TRAY DRAWER AND CUP HOLDERS Instrument Panel Cup Holders The instrument panel cupholders are located in a pull out drawer just below the climate controls. When the drawer is pulled out firmly, the arms of the cupholders will spring out. Place the container to be held into one of the cupholders and then push the arm toward the container until the container is held stable. There are adjustable positions for the arm so the cupholder can accommodate a wide variety of container types and sizes, including those with handles. The arms of the cupholder can be adjusted in or out without damaging the detent mechanism. NOTE: Be sure the drawer is pulled out completely, otherwise the adjustable arm detents will not engage and the container will not be held stable. Front Cupholders Convenience Tray And Optional Smoker’s Package Kit Located between the instrument panel cupholders is a convenience tray that has been designed to hold miscel- laneous small items. NOTE: The convenience tray should never be used for ashes without the optional ash receiver in place. Perma- nent burn marks may result. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 171 With the optional dealer installed Smoker’s package, a removable ash receiver is inserted into the convenience tray location. To install the ash receiver, slide the forward edge into the convenience tray opening and push down to lock it into position.

Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting. • Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these inter- mittently and with greater caution. • After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 181 Rear Compartment Storage Bins Your vehicle may be equipped with open storage bins located in each rear trim panel or your vehicle may be equipped with storage bins located under the armrest in each rear trim panel. Cargo/Tub Nets Two cargo/tub nets are available on vehicles equipped with Fold-in-Floor Seating. The cargo nets fit in the second row storage bin and the third row tub. The nets are supported by hooks located in these areas. Refer to instructions provided in the net kit. Cargo Area Storage The seats in your vehicle are in-line which enables you to stow long objects, such as lumber or skis, on the floor without moving the seats. NOTE: With all rear seat backs folded, a 4x8 foot sheet of building material may be stored in the long-wheelbase body style on top of the folded seats with the liftgate 182 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE closed. The front seats must be moved slightly forward of the rearmost position. If the rear seats are removed no front seat adjustment is needed and more than one 4x8 sheet of building material may be stored. The liftgate sill plate has a raised line with the statement “Load To This Line”. This line indicates how far rearward cargo can be placed without interfering with liftgate closing. Loading Limit ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry the weight on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 68 kg (150 lbs), and should be uniformly distributed over the luggage rack crossbars. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 183 To move the cross bars, loosen the thumb screws located at the upper edge of each cross bar approximately six turns, then move the cross bar to the desired position. Once the cross bar is in place, retighten the thumb screws to lock the cross bar into position. Attempt to move the crossbar again to ensure that it has properly locked into position. NOTE: To help control wind noise when installing the cross bars make sure that the arrows marked on the front side of the cross bars are facing the front of the vehicle. Also, when the cross bars are not in use the notch on the cross bars should be aligned with the arrows on the side rails. This will help reduce the amount of wind noise when the crossbars are not in use. The tie down holes on the cross bar ends should always be used to tie down the load. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached. Roof Rack Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars. The roof rack does not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. WARNING! Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Follow the Roof Rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack. 184 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! • To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 68 kg (150 lbs). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appro- priately. • Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. • Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care- fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle. LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM The automatic load leveling system will provide a level riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading conditions. A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling to complete depending on road surface conditions. If the leveled vehicle is not moved for approximately 15 hours, the leveling system will bleed itself down. The vehicle must be driven to reset the system. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 185 WARNING! Do not install the load leveling system on vehicles that are not equipped with Anti-Lock Brakes. Ve- hicles without Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) have a height-sensing proportioning valve. Installing a lev- eling system will render this system ineffective, inappropriately reducing rear brake pressure, result- ing in increased stopping distances. You could have an accident.

INSTRUMENT PANEL 195 196 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS 1. Fuel Gauge The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON position. 2. Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light — If Equipped This light will turn on when there is a Low tire pressure condition. The light will remain on until the tire pressure is properly set. The light will also flash if a problem exist with any tire sensor. The light will flash for approximately three sec- onds every 10 minutes or until the problem with the sensor is corrected. This light will turn on momentarily as a bulb check when the engine is started. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly underin- flated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the tire and loading information placard. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinfla- tion also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the tire and loading information placard and owner’s manual. If one of the vehicle active tires has been NOTE: replaced by the spare or a wheel rim not equipped with a TPM sensor, the tire pressure monitor warning light will flash for approximately three seconds every 10 minutes. Repair or replace the tire or sensor as soon as possible. 3. Low Fuel Light When the fuel level reaches approximately 3.0 gallons (11.0 liters) this light will turn on and remain on until fuel is added. 4. Turn Signal Indicators The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when the turn signal lever is operated. If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has traveled about one mile with the turn signals on, a chime will sound to alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. 5. Liftgate Ajar This light turns on if the liftgate is not com- pletely closed. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 197 6. Door Ajar Light This light turns on if a door is not completely closed. 7. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 8. Brake System Warning Light This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, there is a low brake fluid level or there is a problem with the anit-lock brake system. The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. 198 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers which change fluid level condi- tions. The vehicle should have service performed. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary. WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger- ous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately. Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approxi- mately four seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 9. Airbag Light This light turns on and remains on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 10. Anti-Lock Light This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION Radio Broadcast Signals Your new radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op- eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals. Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 205 Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal. AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs. FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio. NOTE: On vehicles so equipped the radio, steering wheel radio controls and 6 disc CD/DVD changer will 206 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL remain active for up to 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening a vehicle front door will cancel this feature.

Radio Data System (RDS) The Radio Data System allows radio broadcasting sta- tions to send data signals on a subcarrier frequency which is added to the stereo signal. RDS was developed to give FM receivers user-friendly features, such as Program Service name (PS) and Program Type (PTY). Program Service name is typically used by the broad- caster to display the station’s name or call letters, for example ⬙WNIC⬙. Typically these are 8 characters in length and are displayed by the radio for those stations UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 207 which are broadcasting this information. PTY (Program Type) is used to characterize the station’s program ma- terial, for example ⬙Rock Music⬙. PTY (Program Type) Button Pressing this button once will turn on the PTY mode for 5 seconds.
