Tachometer Indicates the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage. 2. Turn Signal Indicator Light The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior turn signals, when using the multi-function control lever. A chime will sound if the turn signals are left on continuously for 2 miles (3 km) until they are deacti- vated. 3. High Beam Indicator Light This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the multi-function control lever to- wards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high to low beam. 4. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 5. Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light — If Equipped This light will turn on when there is a low tire pressure condition. The light will also turn on if a problem exist with any tire sensor. The light will remain on until the tire pressure is prop- erly set or 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 Monitor Warning Light” is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over- heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation 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 on the vehicle placard. (See page 268 for more information.) 6. 4LO Mode Indicator Light — If Equipped This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4 LO four–wheel drive mode. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked to- gether forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. (See page 236 for more infor- mation.) 7. Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped This light shows when the front fog lights are on. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 169 8. Malfunction Indicator Light This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II which monitors engine and auto- matic transmission control systems. This light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the ignition key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such has 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 typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. When the engine is running, the “Malfunction Indicator Light” may flash to alert of serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic 170 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. (See page 309 for more information.) 9. Anti-Lock Warning Light (ABS) — If Equipped This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as three seconds. If the light comes back on immediately or comes on during 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 provided that the BRAKE warning light is not on. Also, a chime will sound if the light comes back on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefit of Anti-Lock Brakes. The operation of the ABS light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approximately two 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. 10. Charging System Warning Light This light shows the status of the electrical charg- ing system. The light should come on for three seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. If the light comes back on immediately or comes on while driving, it means that there is a problem with the charging system or the battery is low. Also, a chime will sound if the light comes back on. See your authorized dealer immediately. 11. Temperature Gage Indicates engine coolant temperature. Any read- ing within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gage pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature (above center scale) when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy stop and go traffic, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range. If the pointer rises to the red zone (five chimes will occur), pull over and stop the vehicle. Do not turn the engine off. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioning turned off, until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the engine remains in the high range, turn the engine off and call for service. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 171 12. Reset Button Press this button to toggle between the odometer and trip odometer display. When in the trip odometer mode, holding the button in resets the trip odometer. Also, pressing the “Reset” button will clear out any warning messages in the odometer display. 13. Odometer/Trip Odometer A vacuum fluorescent display indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven. Also, the cluster will display, replacing the odometer/trip odometer, vehicle warning messages such as: door/gate/glass ajar and low washer fluid. See appropriate sections for more information. If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec- NOTE: tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console, all warnings including “door”, “GATE”, “GLASS”, and “LOWASH” will only be displayed in the 172 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL EVIC display (not in the instrument cluster). For addi- tional information, refer to “Overhead Console — If Equipped” in Section 3. 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. 14. Cruise Indicator Light This indicator lights when the speed control system is turned ON. 15. Oil Pressure Warning Light Shows low engine oil pressure. The light will come on and remain on when the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, and the light will turn off after the engine is started.

DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CAUSE IS CORRECTED. Also, a single chime will sound. 16. Transmission Temperature Warning Light This light indicates that there is excessive trans- mission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing or snow plowing. If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in N (Neutral) until the light goes off. 17. Part Time Indicator Light — If Equipped This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the PART TIME four–wheel drive high range mode, and the front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. (See page 236 for more information.) 18. Brake Warning Light This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the light comes on, it may indi- cate that the parking brake is applied, or there is a low brake fluid level. On vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), it may also indicate an ABS malfunction that could lead to reduced braking perfor- mance. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 173 WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the BRAKE warning light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking per- formance or vehicle stability during braking may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to control. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immedi- ately. 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 approximately two 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. 174 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Also, the light will come 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. If the parking brake is off and the light remains on, have the brake system inspected as soon as possible. 19. Full Time Indicator Light — If Equipped This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the FULL TIME four–wheel drive mode, and employs the inter-axle differential which al- lows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. (See page 236 for more information.) 20. Sentry Key/Security Alarm Indicator Light — If Equipped Refer to “Sentry Key Immobilizer System” or “Vehicle Security Alarm” in Section 2 of this manual for more information. 21. Fuel Gage When the ignition key is in the ON position, the pointer will show the level of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. A small arrow indicates the side of the vehicle where the filler cap (gas cap) is located. 22. Low Fuel Warning Light When the fuel level reaches approximately 2.3 U.S. Gallons (8.7 Liters) this light will come on and is added. The “Low Fuel remain on until fuel Warning Light” may turn on and off again, especially during and after hard braking, accelerations, or turns. This occurs due to the shifting of the fuel in the tank. Also, a single chime will sound. 23. Airbag Warning Light This indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition is first turned on. If the light doesn’t come on, stays on, or comes on while driving, have the airbag system checked by an authorized dealer. 24.

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 177 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 178 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. SALES CODE RAZ—AM/ FM STEREO RADIO WITH CASSETTE TAPE PLAYER, CD PLAYER AND CD CHANGER CONTROLS NOTE: The radio sales code is located on the lower left side of your radio faceplate. RAZ Radio Operating Instructions — Radio NOTE: Power to operate the radio is controlled by the ignition switch. It must be in the ON or ACC position to operate the radio. Power Switch, Volume Control Press the ON/VOL control to turn the radio on. Turn the volume control clockwise to increase the volume. The volume will be displayed and continuously updated while the button is pressed. Seek Button (Radio Mode) Press and release the Seek button to search for the next station in either the AM or FM mode. Press the top of the button to seek up and the bottom to seek down. Holding the button will by pass stations until you release the button. Tuning Press the TUNE control up or down to increase or decrease the frequency. If you press and hold the button, the radio will continue to tune until you release the button. The frequency will be displayed and continu- ously updated while the button is pressed. 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 179 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. If no action is taken during the 5 second time out the PTY icon will turn off. Pressing the PTY button within 5 seconds will allow the program format type to be selected. Many radio stations do not currently broad- cast PTY information. Toggle the PTY button to select the following format types: Program Type Radio Display Adult Hits Classical Classic Rock College Adlt Hit Classicl Cls Rock College 180 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Program Type Country Information Jazz Foreign Language News Nostalgia Oldies Personality Public Rhythm and Blues Religious Music Religious Talk Rock Soft Soft Rock Soft Rhythm and Blues Radio Display Program Type Radio Display Country Inform Jazz Language News Nostalga Oldies Persnlty Public R & B Rel Musc Rel Talk Rock Soft Soft Rck Soft R&B Sports Talk Top 40 Weather Sports Talk Top 40 Weather By pressing the SEEK button when the PTY icon is displayed, the radio will be tuned to the next frequency station with the same selected PTY name. The PTY function only operates when in the FM mode. The radio display will flash “SEEK” and the selected PTY program type when searching for the next PTY station. If no station is found with the selected PTY program type, the radio will return to the last preset station. If a preset button is activated while in the PTY (Program Type) mode, the PTY mode will be exited and the radio will tune to the preset station. Pressing PTY, then SCAN will scan the FM Band and stop at all RDS stations. Each RDS station will be played for a 5 second scan once around the FM Band and stop at the last station. The PTY icon will then turn off. Balance The Balance control adjusts the left-to-right speaker bal- ance. Push in the button and it will pop out. Adjust the balance and push the button back in.

CASSETTE TAPE AND PLAYER MAINTENANCE To keep the cassette tapes and player in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Do not use cassette tapes longer than C-90; otherwise, sound quality and tape durability will be greatly dimin- ished. 2. Keep the cassette tape in its case to protect from slackness and dust when it is not in use. 3. Keep the cassette tape away from direct sunlight, heat and magnetic fields such as the radio speakers. 4. Before inserting a tape, make sure that the label is adhering flat to the cassette. 5. A loose tape should be corrected before use. To rewind a loose tape, insert the eraser end of a pencil into the tape drive gear and twist the pencil in the required directions. Maintain your cassette tape player. The head and capstan shaft in the cassette player can pick up dirt or tape deposits each time a cassette is played. The result of deposits on the capstan shaft may cause the tape to wrap around and become lodged in the tape transport. The other adverse condition is low or “muddy” sound from one or both channels, as if the treble tone control were turned all the way down. To prevent this, you should periodically clean the head with a commercially available WET cleaning cassette. As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30 hours of use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty (noticeably poor sound), it may not be possible to remove all deposits with a simple WET cleaning cassette. CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE To keep the CD/DVD discs in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the surface. 2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge. 3. Do not apply paper, paper CD labels, or tape to the disc; avoid scratching the disc. 4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners, or antistatic sprays. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 211 5. Store the disc in its case after playing. 6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. 7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become too high. RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES Under certain conditions, the cellular phone being On in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna. This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be turned down or off during cellular phone operation. 212 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL CLIMATE CONTROLS The controls for the heating, air conditioning, and venti- lation system in this vehicle consist of a series of rotary knobs, and a push-button. These comfort controls can be set to obtain desired interior conditions. Manual Climate Control Blower Control The rotary knob on the left controls the blower and can be set in one of four positions from Low to High. Temperature Control The degree of comfort can be selected by rotating the temperature control knob on the right. The coldest tem- perature setting is fully counterclockwise and the warm- est setting fully clockwise. The knob can be positioned at any detent. Mode Selection The mode selector (the center rotary knob and the push-button above it) can be set in any of the following positions: Press this button to turn on and off the air condi- tioning. Conditioned outside air is then directed through the outlets selected on the mode control dial. The button includes an LED that illuminates when pressed. OFF This position turns off the blower motor and outside air will not pass through any outlets. Recirculate (Max A/C) Air flows through the outlets located in the instrument panel. Allows for circulation of interior air only which will cool the cabin faster. This setting can be used in very hot weather to maximize the effect of the air conditioner. This mode can also be used to temporarily block out outside odors, smoke, and dust. Slight airflow from the floor outlets and the defrost outlets, located at the base of the windshield, may be noticed. Panel Air flows through the outlets located in the instru- ment panel. Slight airflow from the defrost outlet, located at the base of the windshield, may be noticed. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 213 Bi-Level Air flows through the outlets located in the instru- ment panel, on the floor, and in the rear of the center console. Slight airflow from the defrost outlet, located at the base of the windshield, may be noticed. Floor Air flows through the floor outlets located under the instrument panel and through the outlets lo- cated in the rear of the center console. Slight airflow from the defrost outlet, located at the base of the windshield, may be noticed. The air conditioning system has been enabled in Floor mode to provide less humid air, espe- cially when heat is used. This will help you reduce or prevent window fogging in high humidity conditions. This function cannot be disabled. You may still select the desired amount of heat using the temperature control dial. The heated air will simply be drier and less prone to condensing on cold window surfaces. 214 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Mix Air flows through the floor outlets, the outlets at the base of the windshield, and the side window demisters outlets. Air flows through the outlets at the base of the windshield and through the side window demister Defrost outlets. Operating Tips Fast Cool Down For a fast cool down, turn the blower fan rotary knob to the extreme clockwise position, turn the mode selector to the panel position and drive with the windows open for the first few minutes. Once the hot air has been expelled, close the windows and turn the mode selector to Max A/C-Recirculation. When a comfortable condition has been reached, choose a mode position and adjust the temperature control knob and blower speed as necessary to maintain comfort. For high humidity conditions it may be necessary to remain in the Max A/C-Recirculation mode to maintain comfort. Window Fogging In mild but rainy or humid weather, windows will fog on the inside. To rapidly clear the fog off all the windows, select the defrost mode, turn the temperature control knob fully clockwise, and position the blower control to its highest speed. Once the windshield has been cleared, adjust the controls for your comfort. On air conditioned vehicles, the compressor will operate when in the Mix or Defrost modes and when the outside temperature is approximately 30°F (-1°C) to provide additional defrost/defog. Summer Operation Air conditioned equipped vehicle’s cooling systems must be protected with a high quality engine coolant during summer to provide proper corrosion protection and to raise the boiling point of the coolant for protection against overheating.

WARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death. Manual Transmission Apply the parking brake, place the gearshift control lever in N (Neutral) and depress the clutch pedal before starting vehicle. This vehicle is equipped with a clutch interlocking ignition system, which requires the clutch to be fully depressed before starting the vehicle. 4WD Models Only In 4L mode, this vehicle will start regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor. This feature enhances off-road performance by allowing the vehicle to start when in 4L without having to depress the clutch pedal. The 4 LO MODE indicator light will illuminate when the transfer case has been shifted into this mode. Automatic Transmission Start the engine with the selector lever in the N (Neutral) or P (Park) position. Apply the brake before shifting to any driving range. Normal Starting — Gasoline Engines Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. Turn the key to the START position and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedure. STARTING AND OPERATING 221 Ignition Key Positions 222 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! CAUTION! 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. To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. If Engine Fails to Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” procedure, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel- erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor. Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly. If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15 second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor, the “Normal Starting” procedure should be repeated. After Starting The idle speed is automatically controlled and will de- crease as the engine warms up. Normal Starting — Diesel Engines 1. Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position. 2. Watch the “Glow Plug Indicator Light.” It will stay on for a maximum of 2 seconds, depending on engine temperature. When the “Glow Plug Indicator Light” goes out, the engine is ready to start. 3. Do not press the accelerator. Turn the ignition key to START and hold it in this position until the engine starts. STARTING AND OPERATING 223 Starting and Operating Cautions — Diesel Engines • Under normal conditions, do not operate the starter for longer than 20 seconds at one time. At tempera- tures below 5°F (⫺15°C), you may operate the starter for up to 25 seconds at one time. Longer periods of operation may result in starter or battery damage. If the engine does not start at once, repeat Steps 1 through 4. • Cold engine speeds higher than necessary for driving or higher than specified for idling may damage engine components. • Before turning off your Diesel engine, always allow the engine to return to normal idle speed and then run for several seconds. This assures proper lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly necessary after periods of high speed driving. 224 STARTING AND OPERATING Turbocharger “Cool Down” NOTE: Letting the engine idle after extended operation allows the turbine housing to cool to normal operating temperature. The following chart should be used as a guide in deter- mining the amount of engine idle time required to sufficiently cool down the turbocharger before shut down, depending upon the type of driving and the amount of cargo.

GCWR Turbocharger Temperature Cool Warm Warm Warm Warm Hot Idle Time (in minutes) Before Shut Down Less than 1 STARTING AND OPERATING 225 Diesel Fuel-Water Separator A diesel fuel-water separator separates the water nor- mally found in diesel fuel. A manual hand prime pump is located on the filter head for re-priming the fuel system. The fuel-water separator is located on the driver side cowl in the engine compartment. Refer to “2.8L Turbo Diesel Engine Compartment” in Section 7 for location. If the “Water-In-Fuel Warning Light” (located in NOTE: the instrument cluster) comes on, this indicates that water has collected in the fuel filter and should be drained immediately. See your authorized dealer for service. Should your vehicle run out of fuel, the fuel system must be re-primed in order to start the engine. Factors such as temperature, which affects the viscosity of the fuel, how long the vehicle has been sitting and other factors will influence how quickly the engine starts. Re-Priming the Diesel Fuel System The following procedure must be followed after com- pletely running out of fuel. 1. Add a minimum of 2 gallons (7.57L) of diesel fuel to the fuel tank. 2. Open the hood. 226 STARTING AND OPERATING 3. Depress the fuel-water separator knob 20 consecutive times. Hand Prime Pump 4. Turn the ignition to START and crank the engine a maximum of 10 seconds. If the engine does not start, repeat Step 3. NOTE: The engine will typically start within 10 sec- onds; the engine will idle then stall, purging air from the fuel lines and filter. 5. Depress the fuel-water separator knob 20 consecutive times. 6. Turn the ignition to START and crank the engine a maximum of 10 seconds. The engine should start and remain running. NOTE: many times as necessary. If the engine does not start, repeat the cycle as ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a standard 110-115 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three wire extension cord. The engine block heater cord is found under the hood clipped to the heater line on the left side of the engine (3.7L only). WARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) are expected to last for several days. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING 6-Speed Manual Transmission Follow the shift pattern on the gearshift knob. NOTE: The backup lights will come on when your vehicle is in R (Reverse) gear and the ignition is in the ON position. STARTING AND OPERATING 227 Manual Shift Controls 228 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! When parking your vehicle, always leave a manual transmission in first gear and apply the parking brake fully to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. Never use any gear as a substitute for the parking brake. CAUTION! To drive as safely as possible and to prolong the life of your manual transmission, follow these tips: • Before shifting from a forward gear into reverse, or from reverse to a forward gear, stop vehicle com- pletely. Otherwise, accelerated transmission wear may result. heat buildup and damages the clutch. speeds in lower gears. Engine damage may result. • Do not operate at sustained high engine or road • Do not downshift into a low gear while traveling at too high a speed for that gear.

The clutch may be damaged. STARTING AND OPERATING 229 Clutch Interlocking Ignition System 2WD Models Only — Manual transmission vehicles are equipped with a clutch interlock safety feature. The clutch pedal must be fully depressed to allow cranking of the engine. 4WD Models Only — The exception to this clutch inter- lock is 4WD models equipped with a manual transmis- sion. For these models, the clutch interlock feature is overridden when the vehicle is operated in 4L to enhance off-road capability. Refer to “Starting Procedures — Manual Transmission (4WD Models Only)” in this sec- tion. • When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between a forward gear and reverse, do not spin wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result. Recommended Manual Transmission Shifting Speeds The manufacturer recommends that you use the shift speeds listed in the chart below. Manual Transmission Shift Speeds in MPH (KM/H) En- gine 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 6 Speeds 1 to 2 2.4L Accel. 14 (23) Cruise 11 (18) 3.7L Accel. 15 (24) Cruise 10 (16) 24 (39) 19 (31) 24 (39) 19 (31) 34 (55) 27 (43) 34 (55) 27 (43) 46 (74) 38 (61) 47 (76) 37 (60) 57 (92) 45 (72) 56 (90) 41 (66) 230 STARTING AND OPERATING Automatic Transmission Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) (or from P or R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake when moving the shift lever between these gears. Automatic Shift Controls WARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal. Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift interlock system (BTSI), which holds the gearshift lever in the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the OFF position. To move the gear selector lever out of the P (Park) position, turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and press the brake pedal and the button on the front of the shifter handle. Gear Ranges P (Park) Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis- sion. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always place the gear selector in the P (Park) position first, and then apply the parking brake. STARTING AND OPERATING 231 WARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the vehicle into P (Park), remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake. Once the key is removed from the ignition, the transmission shift lever is locked in the P (Park) position, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement. Further- more, you should never leave children unattended
