WARNING!


ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)


This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup and 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. NOTE: ABS improves steering control of the vehicle during hard braking maneuvers.


Speed Control can be dangerous where the system can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.


ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system that includes ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), BAS (Brake Assist System), TCS (Traction Con- trol System), ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program). All five systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in vari- ous driving conditions, and are commonly referred to as ESP.


WARNING!


• Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.


• The ABS cannot prevent accidents,


including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. • The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 147


BAS (Brake Assist System) – if equipped with ESP


ESP Off Switch Location


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


148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


applies optimum pressure to the brakes. The system applies optimum pressure to the brakes in emergency braking conditions. This can help reduce braking dis- tances. The BAS complements the antilock brake system (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the system, you must apply continuous braking pressure during the stopping sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.


WARNING!


• BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.


• The BAS cannot prevent accidents,


including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. • The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.


TCS (Traction Control System) – if equipped with ESP


This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active even if TCS and ESP are in the “Partial Off” mode. Refer to “ESP (Electronic Stability Program)” in this Section of this manual. This brake pressure modulation transfers drive torque from slipping to non-slipping wheels to provide optimal forward trac- tion.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 149


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. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicles speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it applies the appropriate brake and may reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or evasive driving maneu- vers. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It can not prevent wheel lift due to other factors such as road conditions, leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.


150 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


WARNING!


Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. • ERM can not prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent acci- dents. • The capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.


ESP (Electronic Stability Program)


This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition. Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path. ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropri- ate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition. • Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than


appropriate for the steering wheel position.


• Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than


appropriate for the steering wheel position.


ESP/TCS Indicator Light The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ also flashes when TCS is active. If the ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

WARNING!


• ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. • The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.


The ESP system has 2 available operating modes.


152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


High Range (4WD Models) or 2WD Models


ON This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD high range and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD low range or neutral back to 4WD high range, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most all driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific reasons as noted below.


This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the “ESP OFF” Control Switch. When in “Partial Off” mode, the engine management portion of ESP has been desensitized, the thresh- olds for ESP activation are raised, and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will be illuminated. This mode is intended to


Partial Off


be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would nor- mally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP-Control OFF” Con- trol Switch. This will restore the normal “ON” mode of operation. ESP always operates under braking, even with the switch in the OFF-position.


WARNING!


In the Partial Off mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable.


NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the ESP Control Switch. Once the

The ABS is in a special Off-Road mode that allows too look wheels at lower speed if gravel is detected to gain stopping distance. NOTE: When the vehicle is in 4WD low range, a feature of the ESP system remains active whether the ESP is on or off. This feature functions similar to a limited slip differ- ential and controls the wheel spin across an axle. If one wheel on an axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel and allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning.

Partial Off This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD low range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD low range or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD high range or neutral to 4WD low range, the ESP system will be in this mode. In 4WD low range, ESP function is desensitized until the vehicle reaches a speed of 30 mph (48 km/h). At 30 mph (48 km/h) the normal ESP stability function returns and the ESP/TCS Indicator Light” turns off. When the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40
km/h) the ESP system goes back to Partial Off. ESP is desensitized at low vehicle speeds in 4WD low range so that it will not interfere with off road driving but ESP

WARNING!


In the Partial Off mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable.


ESP/BAS Warning Lamp and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should both go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warn- ing Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven


several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. This display mode becomes less sensitive to instantaneous changes in fuel consumption as the number of total vehicle miles since the last reset increases. It is suggested that this mode be reset periodically for general operation or when driving conditions change significantly (for example, at the end of a trip or when a trailer is connected or disconnected). Distance To Empty (DTE) Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank. The estimated distance is determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. When Distance To Empty = 0, the fuel gauge pointer will initially be on the red “E” marker. At this point (fuel gauge pointer on the the red “E” marker) there is reserve


fuel capacity, which corresponds to approximately 5% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions in areas where there aren’t many gas stations. NOTE: The Distance To Empty will remain equal to zero, until the vehicle runs out of fuel or is refueled. Trip Odometer (ODO) This display shows the distance traveled since the last reset.

NOTE: To ensure proper compass calibration, make sure the compass variance is properly set before manu- ally calibrating the compass. If the compass appears erratic and the CAL symbol does not appear, you must manually put the compass into the “Calibration” mode. To Put Into a Calibration Mode Turn on the ignition and set the display to “Compass/ Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button for 5
seconds to change the display to VAR (compass variance) mode, holding the button 5 additional seconds will display CAL (compass calibration) mode. When the CAL


symbol is displayed complete one 360 degree turn in an area free from large metal objects or power lines. The CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according to the Compass Variance Map.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS This vehicle has three auxiliary power outlets that can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories de- signed for use with the standard power outlet adapters. The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument panel has a snap on plastic cap so that it can be covered when not in use. As a safety precaution, the outlet in the instrument panel only operates with the ignition switch ON. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is


used, it heats when pushed in and pops out automati- cally when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position. There are two additional 12 V/(20 total Amps for both outlets) power outlets, one located in the storage bin of the center console and another located in the right rear cargo area. These outlets can be reconfigured by the customer to operate only when the ignition is ON (switched battery fed) or with the ignition ON or OFF (battery fed) to allow for cellular telephone charging and or operation while the ignition is off. NOTE: All accessories connected to these outlets should be removed or turned OFF when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge (unless the cus- tomer has reconfigured the fuse block to switched battery feed).


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 171


Reconfiguring Power Outlets To reconfigure the outlets, be sure the ignition is OFF before removing the fuse. The reconfigurable fuse loca- tion is a special design that allows the fuse to be installed in two different ways. If the fuse is located in the ⬙Upper or Top Position⬙ the outlets will work at all times. If the fuse is located in the ⬙Lower or Bottom Position⬙ the power outlets will only work when the ignition is ON.


Electrical Outlet Use With Engine OFF (Battery Fed Configuration)


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 discharge 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.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION


1. Fuel Gage


The fuel gauge shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position.


2. Temperature Gage


The temperature gage indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operat- ing satisfactorily. The gage needle in V6 and V8 engines will likely indicate a high temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the needle rises to the “H” mark, stop the vehicle, shift into N (Neutral) increase engine speed for 2-3 minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, seek authorized service immedi- ately.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 183


CAUTION!


Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running as you would not be able to react to the temperature indicator if the engine overheats.


The gage pointer will remain near its last reading when the engine is turned off. It will return to a true reading when the engine is restarted. 3. Turn Signal Indicators is activated, a right-pointing or When a turn signal left-pointing arrow lights up and flashes to indicate the direction of the turn. These indicators also indicate proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. If either indicator flashes at a faster rate than normal, check for a defective bulb. If either indicator fails to light up when the lever is moved, check for a defective fuse or turn signal LED. A single chime is activated when the


184 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


left/right turn signal is left on with the engine RPM vehicle speed greater than 15 mph (24 km/h) for more than one mile. 4. Low Fuel Warning Light


This indicator lights when the fuel gauge reads 1/8
of a tank or less.


5. High Beam Indicator


Indicates that headlights are on high beam.


6. Seat Belt Reminder Light


This light comes on for several seconds after the ignition is turned ON as a reminder to “buckle up.” This light will remain on as long as the seat belt remains unbuckled. If this light flashes, it indicates a fault in the airbag system. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.


7. Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped


This light shows when the fog lights are ON.


8. Coolant Temperature Light


This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. For a bulb check, this light will come on momentarily when the ignition is turned On. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle, shift into N (Neutral) and increase the engine speed for 2 to 3
minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, seek authorized service immediately.


CAUTION!


Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature light is on, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle in neutral with the air conditioner turned off until the light turns off. If the if the light remains on, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.


WARNING!


A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call a service center if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see Section 7 of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 185

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System which is described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and may stay on for approximately 3 seconds. If this light remains on or comes on during driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. See your authorized dealer immedi- ately. With the ABS malfunctioning, the BAS and ESP are also switched off. Both malfunction indicator lights illu- minate with the engine running. If the charging voltage falls below 10 volts, the malfunction indicator light illuminates and the ABS is switched off. When the voltage is above this value again, the malfunction indi- cator light should go out and the ABS is operational. If the malfunction indicator light stays illuminated, have the system checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible.


14. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Light


This light indicates that the engine oil pressure has become too low. For a bulb check, this light will come on momentarily when the ignition is turned On. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. Immediate service should be obtained. 15. Tachometer This gauge measures engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm x 1000). 16. Gear Selector The electronic gear selector display is self-contained within the instrument cluster. It displays the position of the automatic transmission shift lever, and the relation of each position to all other positions. For a good signal the display will place a box around the selected transmission


range (PRND21). If the PRNDL displays only the char- acters PRND21 (no boxes) have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 17. Trip Odometer The trip odometer shows individual trip mileage.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 187


18. Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. There- fore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. 19. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light — If Equipped


The yellow ESP indicator light in the speedom- eter area illuminates with the key in the igni- tion switch turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the engine running. The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The


188 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ also flashes when TCS is active. If the ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The “ESP/ TCS Indicator Light” becomes illuminated when the ESP-Off button has been pressed or ESP is only partially available caused by lack of engine management or brake thermal model. 20. Transmission Temperature Indicator


This light indicates that there is excessive trans- mission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEU- TRAL until the light goes off.


21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)


This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If a prob- lem is detected the light will come on while the engine is running. If the light remains lit with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on for 15 seconds as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 22. Door Ajar The Door Ajar light will illuminate when any door is open.


NOTE: A chime will sound if the vehicle is rolling and a door has been opened. 23. BRAKE System Warning Light The red “BRAKE” warning light will come on when the ignition key is first turned on, and stay on briefly as a bulb check. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the bulb repaired promptly. If the light stays on, it may be an indication that the parking brake has not been released, or there is a low brake fluid level. If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or a problem with the Brake Booster. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake Booster the ABS pump will run when applying the brake. If the parking brake is applied, the light will flash when the gear position is out of park for automatic transmissions.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 189


If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary. Operating the vehicle in this condition is danger- ous!


24. Low Washer Fluid Indicator This light comes on when the washer fluid level falls below approximately 1/4 full. The light will remain on until fluid is added and ignition switch is cycled. 25. ESP/BAS Warning Lamp – If Equipped


The malfunction lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been


190 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48
km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible. NOTE: • ⬙The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ and the ⬙ESP/ BAS Warning Lamp⬙ come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is actively operating. 26. Malfunction Indicator Light


This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions and engine control system. If the vehicle is ready for emissions testing the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on, as a bulb check, until the engine is started. If the vehicle is not ready for emissions testing the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for 10
seconds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the condi- tion investigated promptly.


If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it suggests a potential engine control problem and the need for system service. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, see your dealer for service as soon as possible.


CAUTION!


Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.


27. Airbag Indicator


The indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to 8
seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. If the light does not come on when the ignition is first turned on, or the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the airbag system checked by an authorized dealer. 28. 4LO Indicator Indicates when transfer case is in 4LO position. 29. SVC (Service) 4WD Indicator The SVC 4WD lights will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and will stay on for 2
seconds. If the light stays on or comes on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly and that service is required. 30. Cruise Light (Speed Control) This indicator lights when the electronic speed control system is turned on.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 191


31. TOW/HAUL The TOW/HAUL button is located at the end of the gear shift lever.

Odometer/Trip Odometer Button Press this button to toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the trip odometer reading.


RADIO RECEPTION INFORMATION


AM Reception AM radio signals usually travel longer distances than FM signals, especially at night. These longer distance AM signals can cause AM stations to interfere with one


192 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


another. Noise from storms and power lines can also interfere with AM reception. Reducing the treble can reduce some of the noise. FM Reception FM Stereo signals produce better sound quality than AM signals. However, FM signals will only travel approxi- mately 10 to 40 miles (16 to 64 km). Tall structures or hills can cause interference with FM signals causing the sound to cut out.


ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio model) whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. When the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keep- ing is accurately maintained.


On the AM/FM/CD (6-disc) radio the time button alter- nates the location of the time and frequency on the display. On the AM/FM/CD (single-disc) radio only one of the two, time or frequency is displayed. Clock Setting Procedure


1. Press and hold the time button until the hours blink. 2. Adjust the hours by turning the right side Tune / Audio control. 3. After the hours are adjusted, press the right side Tune / Audio control to set the minutes. 4. Adjust the minutes using the right side Tune / Audio control. 5.
