Remote Vehicle Start
The remote start feature allows you to start the engine
from outside of the vehicle. It may also start up the
vehicle’s heating or air conditioning systems and rear
window defogger. Normal operation of the system
will return after the key is turned to the ON/RUN
position.
During a remote start, the climate control system will
default to a heating mode during colder outside
temperatures and a cooling mode during warmer outside
temperatures.
During a remote start, the rear window defogger and
heated mirrors, if equipped, will turn on during colder
outside temperatures and will shut off when the
key is turned to ON/RUN.
During a remote start, the heated seats will turn on
during colder outside temperatures and will shut
off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. SeeHeated
Seats on page 1-4for additional information.Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require a
person using the remote start to have the vehicle in
view when doing so. Check local regulations for
any requirements on remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is
low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The RKE transmitter with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation. However, the
range may be less while the vehicle is running. As a
result, you may need to be closer to your vehicle to turn
it off, than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-4for additional
information.

Midgate®(SUT)
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo area
covered and the tailgate and the Midgate®open
because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come
into your vehicle. You can not see or smell CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the cargo covers on and
the tailgate and Midgate
®open or if electrical
wiring or other cable connections must pass
through the seal between the body and the
Midgate
®:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed on the setting
that brings in outside air. This will force
outside air into your vehicle. SeeDual
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 3-22.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-43.The Midgate
®allows you to extend the length of your
vehicle’s cargo area into the cab.
Lowering the Midgate
The Midgate window must be completely lowered for
the Midgate®to be lowered. See “Midgate®Window”
underPower Windows on page 2-20.
Both the Midgate and the Midgate window can be
lowered while the ignition is in either ON/RUN or
ACC/ACCESSORY, or while in Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) mode. SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 2-29for more information.
To lower the Midgate, do the following:
1. Fold the rear seats forward. SeeSplit Folding Rear
Seat on page 1-8. The front seats may have to be
moved forward slightly.
2.
K(Midgate Window):Press the bottom part
of this switch to lower the Midgate window.
SeeInstrument Panel Overview on page 3-4for
the location of this switch. The window can also be
operated using the global express-down button.
See “Global Glass Feature” underPower Windows
on page 2-20.

Outlet Adjustment
Your vehicle has air outlets that let you adjust the
direction and amount of airow inside the vehicle.
Use the thumbwheels located beside the air outlets to
direct the airow up and down. Use the thumbwheels
below the air outlets to direct the air left or right.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as leaves.
The heater and defroster will work far better,
reducing the chance of fogging the inside of
the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
the vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, etc., may affect
the performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer/retailer before
adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle.

Heating System and Electronic
Climate Controls
If your vehicle has this rear climate control system
there are rear seat audio controls located in the
center console.
The rear system can be controlled through the AUX
button on the front climate control panel. Press the
AUX button to turn the rear climate control system
on or off. An indicator light in the AUX button comes
on when the rear climate control system is on. The
direction, temperature, and speed of the airow for
the rear of the vehicle will be the same as those set
for the front of the vehicle.
Use the controls located in the rear of the front console,
to independently control the air ow for the rear of
the vehicle separately from that of the front of the
vehicle. To turn the system on, press any of the rear
air conditioning control buttons, except the
Cbutton.
To turn the system off, press and hold the
Cbutton.

If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they
go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will keep
going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.There is also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. See “Loading Your
Vehicle for Off-Road Driving” underOff-Road
Driving on page 4-13.
Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need
to put a limit on how many people you can
carry inside your vehicle. Be sure to weigh your
vehicle before you buy and install the new
equipment.
Notice:Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry.
It does not include the weight of the people inside.
But you can gure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for
each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.
