To Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, push the “RESUME ACCEL” lever up and release. Resume can be used at any speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 3.7L, 4.7L, and 5.7L engines, and 14 mph (23 km/h) for 3.0L diesel engines. To Vary The Speed Setting When the speed control is ON, speed can be increased by pushing up and holding “RESUME ACCEL”. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. Tapping “RESUME ACCEL” once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) (3.7L, 4.7L, 5.7L, and 3.0L Diesel models) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped, speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will increase speed by 3 mph (5 km/h) (3.7L, 4.7L, 5.7L, and 3.0L Diesel models).

To decrease speed while speed control is ON, push down and hold “SET DECEL”. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. Tapping the “SET DECEL” button once will result in a 1
mph (2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped, speed decreases. NOTE: The Speed Control system has been designed to shut down if multiple speed control switch functions are operated simultaneously in order to ensure proper op- eration. If this occurs, the system can be reactivated by pushing the speed control switch ON/OFF button and re-setting the desired vehicle SET speed. To Accelerate For Passing Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

138 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Using Speed Control On Hills The automatic transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed. NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed control.

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

Also, your vehicle is equipped with TSC (Trailer Sway Control) and, if it has 4WD with the NV245 two-speed transfer case, HSA (Hill Start Assist) and HDC (Hill Descent Control). 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 lock-up 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.

WARNING!

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. ABS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, 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 reck- less or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 139

TCS (Traction Control System)

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 either the “Partial Off” or “Full Off” modes. Refer to “ESP (Electronic Stability Program)” in this section for more information.

140 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the anti-lock 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 brak- ing pressure during the stopping sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.

WARNING!

BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent acci- dents. 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.

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 it then applies the brake of the appropriate wheel and may also reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or evasive driving maneuvers. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors such as road conditions, leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.

lift,

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 141

NOTE: Anytime the ESP system is in the “Full Off” mode, ERM is disabled. Refer to ESP (Electronic Stability Program) for a complete explanation of the available ESP modes.

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM cannot 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 accidents. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopar- dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

142 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

This system enhances directional control 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. En- gine 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.

The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 located in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 also flashes when TCS is active. If the 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 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 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. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESP- equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reck- less or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

The ESP system has 3 available operating modes in 4WD High Range, 2 available operating modes on 2WD ve- hicles, and 1 operating mode in 4WD Low Range.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 143

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 “On” mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” or “Full Off” mode for specific reasons as noted below. Partial Off This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the 9ESP OFF” switch. When in 9Partial Off9 mode, the TCS portion of ESP, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 will be illuminated. All other stability features of ESP function normally. This mode is intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand,

144 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the 9ESP OFF” switch. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation.

ESP OFF Switch

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 switch. Once the situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing the “ESP OFF” switch. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. Full Off (4WD Models Only) This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use when ESP stability features could inhibit vehicle maneu- verability due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by depressing and holding the “ESP OFF” switch for 5
seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After 5 seconds, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illuminate, and the 9ESP OFF9 message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual for more information.

In this mode, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are 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 Off” mode, described above. When the vehicle speed drops below 35
mph (56 km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is deacti- vated at low vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere with off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will always be illumi- nated when ESP is off. To turn ESP on again, momen- tarily depress the “ESP OFF” switch. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation. NOTE: The “ESP OFF” message will display and the audible chime will sound when the gear selector is placed into the “P” (Park) position from any other position, and then moved out of the “P” (Park) position. This will occur even if the message was previously cleared.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 145

WARNING!

With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for off-road use only.

4WD Low Range

Full 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 “Full Off” mode. In 4WD low range, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches

146 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At 40 mph (64 km/h), the normal ESP stability function returns but TCS remains off. When the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56
km/h), the ESP system shuts off. ESP is deactivated at low vehicle speeds in 4WD low range so that it will not interfere with off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 will always be illuminated in 4WD low range when ESP is off. NOTE: The “ESP OFF” message will display and the audible chime will sound when the gear selector is placed into the “P” (Park) position from any other position, and then moved out of the “P” (Park) position. This will occur even if the message was previously cleared

WARNING!

With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. The “Full Off” mode is intended for off- road use only.

TSC (Trailer Sway Control) TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces- sively swaying trailer and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway. The system may reduce engine power and apply the brake of the appro- priate wheel(s) to counteract the sway of the trailer. TSC will become active automatically once an excessively swaying trailer is recognized. No driver action is re- quired. Note that TSC cannot stop all trailers from

swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recommendations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in Section 5 of this manual for more information on towing a trailer with your vehicle. When TSC is functioning, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will flash, the engine power may be reduced and you may feel the brakes being applied to individual wheels to attempt to stop the trailer from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESP system is in the Partial Off or Full Off modes.

WARNING!

If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 147

HSA (Hill Start Assist) (4WD Models with NV245
Two–Speed Transfer Case Only) The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressure the driver applied for a short period of time after the driver takes their foot off of the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply the throttle during this short period of time, the system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll down the hill. The system will release brake pressure in proportion to amount of throttle applied as the vehicle starts to move in the intended direction of travel. HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: † Vehicle must be stopped. † Vehicle must be on a 8% grade or greater hill.

148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

† Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle back- ing uphill is in R (Reverse) gear).

HSA will work in R (Reverse) and all forward gears when the activation criteria have been met. The system will not activate if the vehicle is placed in N (Neutral) or P (Park).

WARNING!

There may be situations on minor hills (i.e., less than 8%), with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer, when the system will not activate and slight rolling may occur. This could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.

Towing with HSA HSA will provide assistance when starting on a grade when pulling a trailer.

WARNING!

† 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. In order to avoid rolling down the hill while resuming accelera- tion, manually activate the trailer brake prior to releasing the brake pedal. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle. † HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission in P (Park) and using the parking brake, it will roll down the hill and could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. Always remember to use the parking brake while parking on a hill, and that the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.

HSA Off If you wish to turn off the HSA system, it can be done using the Customer Programmable Features in the Elec- tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Elec- tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual. HDC (Hill Descent Control) (4WD Models with NV245 Two–Speed Transfer Case Only) HDC maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in 4
LOW range only. To enable HDC (transfer case must be in 4 LOW range), press the HDC switch. If the HDC switch is pressed when the vehicle is not in 4 LOW range, the light in the switch will flash for 5 seconds and HDC will not be enabled.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 149

Hill Descent Switch

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

150 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

and will only activate when the vehicle is descending a hill. It will usually not activate on level ground. The HDC speed may be adjusted by the driver to suit the driving conditions. The speed corresponds to the trans- mission gear selected. † 1st = 1 mph (1.6 km/h) † 2nd = 2.5 mph (4 km/h) † 3rd = 4 mph (6 km/h) † 4th = 5.5 mph (9 km/h) † 5th = 7.5 mph (12 km/h) † Reverse (R) = 1 mph (1.6 km/h) † Neutral (N) = 2.5 mph (4 km/h) † Park (P) — HDC will not function

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. Conversely, if more speed is desired during HDC control, the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed in the usual manner. When either the brake or the accelerator is released, HDC will control the vehicle back to the origi- nal set speed. HDC is intended for low speed off-road driving only. At vehicle speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h), HDC will no longer function. When the vehicle speed drops below 30
mph (48 km/h), HDC function will automatically resume and the vehicle speed will return to the chosen set speed.

WARNING!

HDC is only intended to assist the driver in control- ling vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver must remain attentive to the driving conditions and is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.

ESP/BAS Warning Lamp and ESP/TCS Indicator Light

The malfunction indicator lamp 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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 151

If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a mal- function has been detected in either the ESP or the 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. NOTE: † 9The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 and the 9ESP/BAS Warning Lamp9 come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. † Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System † The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active.

Programming HomeLinkT

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds. The EVIC will display “CLEARING CHAN- NELS.” Release the buttons when the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.” It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) from the HomeLinkt buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the hand- held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” Then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held trans- mitter buttons. If the EVIC display states “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat Step 3. If the signal is too weak, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter. It may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open & close while you train.

NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace Step #3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section. 4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button. If the channel has been trained, the EVIC display will now state “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.” If the EVIC display still states “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” repeat Step 3. NOTE: After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt and the garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming A Rolling Code System.” 5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 161

This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open & close the door).

6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed. 7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for 2 sec- onds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for 2 seconds) to complete the training. If you are have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLinkt to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or gate motor. If you are having difficulties programming a garage door opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming HomeLink” Step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLinkt button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkt has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The EVIC display will change from “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.”

If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink.” earlier in this section.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity. This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack. If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and install Mopart cross rails built specifically for this roof rack system or a number of after market rails that are tailored to your life-style or activities.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 179

NOTE: The optional cross rails have seven specific locations identified by a feature on both the side rail and the cross rail. Cross rails must be secured in one of the seven detent locations on the side rail to prevent move- ment with a sudden stop. For improved windnoise performance when cross rails are not in use, place them in detent positions #2 (second detent from the front of the vehicle) and #7 (detent closest to the rear of the vehicle) as indicated with a unique feature on the side rails.

180 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!

WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per- sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack “Cautions” when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

† To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without cross rails installed. The load should be secured and placed on top of the cross rails, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other protection between the load and the roof surface. † To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the rated load capacity of your cross rail system or the roof rack system maximum load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. † Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. † Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully 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.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 2. Brake Warning Light

The BRAKE warning light will come on when the ignition is first turned on, and stay on briefly as a bulb check. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the bulb re- paired promptly. If the light stays on longer, it may be an indication that the parking brake has not been released. If the light remains on when the parking brake is off, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or low fluid level. In this case, the light will remain on until the cause is corrected. If a brake malfunction is indicated, immediate repair is necessary and continued operation of the vehicle in this condition is dangerous.

3. Turn Signal Indicator Light

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. 4. High Beam Indicator Light

Indicates that headlights are on high beam.

5. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II that monitors engine and auto- matic transmission control systems. The light will illuminate when the key is in the ON position

before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. The Malfunction Indicator Light flashes to alert you to serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. 6. Airbag Warning 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

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189

during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 7. Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. 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. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the Ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

190 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

8. Tachometer The red segments indicate the maximum permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (r.p.m. x 1000) for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator. 9. Security Alarm System Indicator Light — If Equipped This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle theft alarm is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is set. The security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is first turned on. 10. Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light shows low engine oil pressure. The light should turn on momentarily when the engine is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle, and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A continuous chime will sound when this light turns on.

Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This light does not show how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the hood. 11. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light

This 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. The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will flash any time the ESP or TCS is active and helping to improve vehicle stability. If the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” is on solid, the ESP system has been turned off by the driver or a temporary condition exists that will not allow full ESP function.

12. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. Ac- cordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over- heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 191

reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse- quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety

192 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

13. Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera- ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera- ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 193

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. If you decide to look under the hood your- self, refer to Section 7 of this manual. Follow the warnings under “Cooling System Pressure Cap.”

14. Electronic Vehicle Information Center Display When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen- ter” later in this section. 15. TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light will illuminate when the TOW/ HAUL button has been selected. The TOW/ HAUL button is located in the center of the instrument panel (below the climate controls).

The ESP/BAS warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. The light should go out with the engine running. If the ESP/ BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light stays illuminated, have the ESP and BAS checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. 17. 4WD LOW Mode Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4WD LOW mode. The front and rear drive- shafts are mechanically locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.

18. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this light will turn on for 5 to 8 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to 9Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert)9 in the Occupant Restraints section for more information. 19. Cruise Indicator Light

This indicator lights when the speed control system is turned ON.

20. 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. 21.

Engine Oil Change Indicator System

Oil Change Required (Gasoline Engines Only) Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the MENU button. To reset the oil change indica- tor system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to the following procedure. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 201

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position. If the indicator message illuminates when you NOTE: start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.

You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic

objects) until the “CAL” indicator displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally. Manual Compass Calibration If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL” indicator does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch. 2. Press the MENU button until Personal Settings (Cus- tomer Programmable Features) menu is reached. 3. Press the SCROLL button until “Calibrate Compass” is displayed in the EVIC. 4. Press and release the FUNCTION SELECT button to start the calibration. The “CAL” indicator will be dis- played in the EVIC.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 205

5. Complete one or more 360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally. Compass Variance 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. For the most accurate compass performance, the compass variance must be set using the following procedure: NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top of the right rear quarter window. This is where the compass sensor is located.
