AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive): This setting is ideal for use when road surface traction conditions are variable.


Do not use AUTO mode to park on a steep grade with poor traction such as ice, snow, mud or gravel. In AUTO mode only the rear wheels will hold the vehicle from sliding when parked. If parking on a steep grade, use 4 m to keep all four wheels engaged. 4 m (Four-Wheel Drive High): Use this setting when extra traction is needed, such as on snowy or icy roads or in most off-road situations. N (Neutral): Shift to this setting only when towing the vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 10-93 or Trailer Towing on page 9-72. 4 n (Four-Wheel Drive Low): This setting sends maximum power to all four wheels. Choose Four-Wheel Drive Low when driving in deep sand, mud, or snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills. See Four-Wheel Drive on page 9-38.

. StabiliTrak will automatically turn


on if the vehicle exceeds 56 km/h (35 mph). Traction control will remain off.


See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control on page 9-50.


Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).


The low tire pressure warning light alerts to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-15. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure.


The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. Maintain the correct tire pressures. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10-61.


Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and, on most vehicles, displays a DIC message when it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change.


Resetting the Oil Life System To reset the engine oil life system: 1. Display OIL LIFE REMAINING


on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) on page 5-30 or Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) on page 5-32. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, the vehicle must be in P (Park) to access this display.

2. Press and hold the V button on


the DIC, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, for several seconds. The oil life will change to 100%.


The oil life system can also be reset as follows: 1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with


the engine off.


2. Fully press the accelerator pedal


slowly three times within five seconds.


3. Display OIL LIFE REMAINING


on the DIC. If the display shows 100%, the system is reset. See Engine Oil Life System on page 10-13.


E85 or FlexFuel Vehicles with a yellow fuel cap can use either unleaded gasoline or ethanol fuel containing up to 85% ethanol (E85). See E85 or FlexFuel


on page 9-66. For all other vehicles, use only the unleaded gasoline described under Fuel on page 9-64.


Driving for Better Fuel Economy Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible. . Avoid fast starts and accelerate


smoothly.


. Brake gradually and avoid


abrupt stops.


. Avoid idling the engine for long


periods of time.


. When road and weather


conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.


. Always follow posted speed


limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.


. Keep vehicle tires properly


inflated.
