Adjustable Armrests — If
Equipped
The seat adjustable armrest can be raised and
adjusted for height. Underneath the front of the
armrest is the adjuster wheel which will adjust
the height of the armrest up or down.
Turn the adjuster wheel to the right or left to
adjust the height of the armrest up or down.
Power Folding Mirrors — If
Equipped
The switch for the power folding mirrors is
located on the driver’s door panel below the
power mirror controls. The power fold mirrors
are designed to be folded and unfolded using
the power folding switch.
Operation
• Push the switch to the right and the mirrorswill fold in.
• Push the switch to the left and the mirrors will return to the normal driving position.
To Reset The Power Folding Mirror
1. Push the switch to the right and the mirrors will fold in to the closed position.
2. Push the switch to the left and the mirrors will return to the open position.
NOTE:
The intended use of the power fold mirrors is by
pushing the buttons to fold and unfold the
mirrors. Only manually fold the mirrors when
necessary. Forward Folding
Mirrors can be folded forward manually or by
accidental impact. In this case, it is possible to
restore to position both ways, manually and
electrically.

To release the park brake manually, the ignition
switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Put
your foot on the brake pedal, then push the
parking brake switch down momentarily. Once
the park brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE
warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the
LED indicator on the switch will extinguish.
If during drive away the driver pulls the EPB
switch (apply position) the drive away is halted
and EPB will be reapplied.
NOTE:
• When parking on a hill, it is important to turnthe front wheels toward the curb on a down-
hill grade and away from the curb on an
uphill grade. The parking brake should al-
ways be applied whenever the driver is not in
the vehicle. • The Electronic Park Brake system communi-
cates with the Driver Presence Detection
sensor installed in the driver seat. The use of
seat covers or seat accessories could prevent
the Electronic Park Brake system from work-
ing properly and result in unintended vehicle
movement.
If exceptional circumstances should make it
necessary to engage the park brake while the
vehicle is in motion, a buzzer repeats until the
park brake switch is released or vehicle speed is
below 1.25 mph (2 km/h).
To disengage the park brake while the vehicle is
in motion, release the switch. If the vehicle is
brought to a complete stop using the park
brake, when the vehicle reaches approximately
1.25 mph (2 km/h) the parking brake will
remain engaged.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the
Electric Park Brake system, a yellow triangle
EPB fault lamp will illuminate. In this status,
some EPB functionality may be deactivated, in
this event, urgent service of the electric park
brake system is required. Do not rely on the
parking brake to hold the vehicle stationary, wheel chocks, or other mechanical securing of
the vehicle is required to prevent rolling.
Loss Of Electric Power
If electric power is not available and the EPB
must be released for towing the vehicle, the
EPB can be mechanically released by use of an
Allen wrench. EPB mechanical release should
only be performed by qualified service person-
nel and only when the vehicle is secured from
rolling.

ings and cautions, please refer to the Diesel

Automated Manual Transmission
— Diesel Only
Your new vehicle is equipped with an energy
efficient Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT). This transmission is a Conventional Six-
Speed Manual Transmission with an electroni-
cally controlled hydraulic system that controls
the clutch and gear shifting.
In forward gears, this transmission offers two
modes of operation: Automatic (D) Mode –
where the electronic system controls the gear
shifts, and MANUAL (M) Mode – where the
driver controls the transmission shifting by tog-
gling the gear selector rearward or forward (+/-)
to upshift or downshift.As with any new technology, the transmission
has some unique characteristics that may be
unfamiliar. These include:
• The Automated Manual Transmission must
be in NEUTRAL (N) to start the vehicle.
Press and hold the brake pedal, then place
the gear selector in NEUTRAL (N), before
attempting to start the engine.
• To drive, press the brake pedal and start the engine, then move the gear selector from
NEUTRAL (N) to the desired position.
• The actual transmission gear range (R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) is displayed in the
instrument cluster display whenever the en-
gine is running.
• When the key is turned OFF, the transmis- sion remains in its previous gear position,
regardless of the gear selector position.
• When the key is turned ON (engine off), the instrument cluster display may indicate the
gear selector position rather than the actual
transmission gear position. • Engine torque is interrupted briefly during
the transmission upshifts, making these
shifts more abrupt than a typical automatic
transmission. This is normal.
• Although transmission shifting is performed automatically, the vehicle will not "creep"
when the brake pedal is released and may in
fact roll backward on an incline. Leaving
from a stop, the accelerator pedal must be
pressed to transmit driving torque to the
wheels.
• With the vehicle at a standstill and a gear engaged, keep the brake pedal pressed until
you decide to drive away. Then release the
brake and accelerate gradually.
• Do not use the accelerator to keep the ve- hicle at a standstill (for example, holding on
a hill); the clutch could be damaged by
overheating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to drive away.

Winch Operation
Removing The Spare Tire
1. Remove the spare tire before attempting tojack up the vehicle. Attach the lug bolt
adapter to the winch extension and insert it
into the winch mechanism. The winch mechanism is located under the
rear of the vehicle to the right of the spare
tire.
2. Rotate the wheel wrench handle counter- clockwise until the spare tire is on the
ground with enough cable slack to allow you
to pull it out from under the vehicle.

NOTE:
The winch mechanism is designed for use with
the winch extension tube only. Use of an air
wrench or other power tools is not recom-
mended and can damage the winch.3. Pull the spare tire out from under the ve-
hicle to gain access to the spare tire re-
tainer.
4. Lift the spare tire with one hand to giveclearance to tilt the retainer at the end of the
cable.
5. Pull the retainer through the center of the wheel.
