messages provide critical information
that can prevent damage to your vehi-
cle. Review your Owner Manual to

mitter allows you to lock and unlock your
vehicle and perform other functions
while up to approximately 195 feet away

your vehicle. The turn signal lamps will
flash and the horn will sound three
times.

PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
Refueling the Vehicle
To open the fuel door, press the center
of the rear edge of the door and it will
pop open slightly. Pull the door to open
it fully.
When closing the fuel door, press the
center of the rear edge of the door until
it latches and is flush with the side of the
vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Automatic Transmission
Operation
The automatic transmission has an
Electronic Range Select mode that
enables the driver to select the top-gear
limit desired for the current driving con-
ditions, such as when driving on down-
hill grades. This provides engine braking
and reduces brake wear.
To use this feature, move the shift lever
to the Low (L) range position and select
a lower or higher driving gear using the
+ / – button on the side of the shift
lever. The display on the instrument
panel cluster will show the current gear
selection.
StabiliTrak®– Stability Control
System
StabiliTrak is an
advanced computer-
controlled vehicle
stability and traction
enhancement sys-
tem that assists with
directional control of
the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
It turns on automatically every time you
start your vehicle.
To limit wheelspin and help maintain
directional control, you should always
leave the system on. However, if your
vehicle becomes stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required, the system should
be turned off.
To turn off the traction control part of the
system, press the (Traction Control)
button located on the center console in
front of the shift lever.
When the system is turned off, the
Traction Control light will illuminate.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
