WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowingchildren to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be severely injured or killed. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not leave the Key Fob inside the vehicle,
or in a location accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could start the vehicle,
operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start System,
windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You
and your passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the flipper glass closed when
you are operating the vehicle.
REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pressing
the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the Key Fob in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition Key Fob is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous
and can cause you or others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start System,
windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be severely injured or
killed.
GETTING STARTED

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your
vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds
up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a
good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be
avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.
Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations
will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation.
This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of an
engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows you tolimit the highest available transmission gear,
and can be activated during any driving con-
dition. When towing a trailer or operating
the vehicle in off-road conditions, using ERS
shift control will help you maximize both
performance and engine braking.
• To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, move the shift lever to the left (-) once.
The current gear will be maintained as the
top gear. To disable ERS, simply press and
hold the shift lever to the right (+) until
“D” is displayed in the instrument cluster
odometer.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE
• The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy duringnormal driving conditions.
• Press the ECON switch in the center stack of the instrument panel and a green light will indicate the ECON mode is engaged.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

• When the ECON Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will be able to change thefollowing:• The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later.
• The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to allow the engine to operate at lower
speeds.
• The torque converter clutch may engage sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and remain on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.

Pinch Protection Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express Closeoperation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will automati-
cally retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the switch forward and release
to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth close
attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, and do
not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by
the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result
in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make
sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurs with
the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This
will minimize buffeting.
