EVIC.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use
is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster
than you want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the
Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions,
and you could lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation
to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e.,
a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles
and will not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and
will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/
Precautions
• This system contains a single-speed
(HI range only) transfer case, which
provides convenient full-time
all-wheel drive. No driver interaction
is required. The Brake Traction
Control (BTC) System, which
combines standard ABS and Traction
Control, provides resistance to any
wheel that is slipping to allow
additional torque transfer to wheels
with traction.
NOTE:This system is not appropriate for
conditions where AWD LOW range is
recommended. Refer to “Off-Road Driving
Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the
DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case
(Three-Position Switch)
• This is an electronic shift transfer
case and is operated by the AWD
Control Switch (Transfer Case
Switch), which is located on the
center console.• This electronically shifted transfer
case provides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range
(AWD AUTO)
• All-wheel drive low range (LOW
RANGE)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
• When additional traction is required,
the LOW RANGE position can be
used to lock the front and rear
driveshafts together forcing the front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed. The LOW RANGE position are
designed for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Driving in the LOW
RANGE positions on dry hard
surfaced roads may cause increased
tire wear and damage to the driveline
components.
• When operating your vehicle in LOW
RANGE, the engine speed is
approximately three times that of the
AWD HI position at a given road
speed. Take care not to overspeed
the engine and do not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:The “SERV AWD Warning Light”
monitors the electronic shift all-wheel
drive system. If this light remains on after
engine start up or illuminates during
driving, it means that the all-wheel drive
system is not functioning properly and
that service is required.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a
trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,
and frequent transmission shifting
occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch
to select TOW/HAUL mode. This will
improve performance and reduce the
potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to
excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, transmission
upshifts are delayed, and the
transmission will automatically
downshift (for engine braking) during
steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light”
will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL
mode has been activated. Pressing
the switch a second time restores
normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL
mode is desired, the switch must be
pressed each time the engine is
started.
RECREATIONAL
TOWING (BEHIND
MOTORHOME, ETC.)
Rear-Wheel Drive Models
•Recreational towing is not allowed.
All-Wheel Drive Models (Single-Speed
Transfer Case)
•Recreational towing is not allowed.
This model does not have a
NEUTRAL position in the transfer
case.
All-Wheel Drive Models (Two-Speed
Transfer Case)
NOTE:The transfer case must be in the
NEUTRAL position, and the transmission
must be in the PARK position for
recreational towing.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL
• Use the following procedure to
prepare your vehicle for recreational
towing.
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop
and shift the transmission to PARK.
Turn the engine off.
• For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
remove the Keyless Enter-N-Go

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we
recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the
tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the 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 light also flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle's traction when
starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC
system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
switch
located below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging
system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with
the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we
recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable; however, see an authorized service center immediately. 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.
