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.

THEFT ALARM
To Arm
•Keyless Enter-N-Go™ button installed: Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/Stop
button until the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that the
vehicle ignition is “OFF”. Press the power door lock switch while the door is open,
press the Key Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles,
press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located on the door handle.
• Keyless Enter-N-Go™ button not installed: Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position. Press the power door lock switch while the door is open, press the Key
Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the vehicle and
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles, press the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located on the door handle.
NOTE: After pressing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button, you must wait two
seconds before you can lock or unlock the vehicle via the door handle.
To Disarm
• Keyless Enter-N-Go™ button installed: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or with
one of the Key Fobs located outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
driver's and passenger front door handles, grab the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ door
handle and enter the vehicle, then press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/Stop
button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle).

SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.

for easier access to the rear seat.
CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it
may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat's path.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The suddenmovement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might
not be properly adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed. Only
adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt
and be severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is
parked.

AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick®is a driver-interactive
transmission feature that offers manual
gear shifting to provide you with more
control of the vehicle. AutoStick
®
allows you to maximize engine braking,
and improve overall vehicle
performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city
driving, cold slippery conditions,
mountain driving, trailer towing, and
many other situations.
Operation • When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operateautomatically, shifting between the five available gears. To engage AutoStick
®,
simply move the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position, or
press one of the steering wheel mounted shift paddles (+/-). When AutoStick
®is
active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster. In AutoStick
®mode,
the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver (using the shift
lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would
result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is
chosen, except as described below:
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick
®is engaged. To
disengage AutoStick®mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the
(+) shift paddle until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You
can shift in or out of the AutoStick
®mode at any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
• An “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster when using AutoStick
®, to alert the driver
to upshift to the next gear. The “UPSHIFT” message will appear when
approaching the maximum engine speed.

24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival.If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent,
we will contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster willcome on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go
out with the engine running. 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.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when coldand inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER
INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
