ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmissionand 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 difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage
may result.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking
Lights/Headlights
• Rotate the headlight switch, located on the instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel, to the first detent for
parking lights
andtothe
second detent for headlights.
• With the parking lights or low beam headlights on, push the headlight
switch once for fog lights.
• Rotate the headlight switch to “AUTO” for AUTO headlights.
• When set to AUTO, the system automatically turns the headlights on
or off based on ambient light levels.
SmartBeams™
• This system automatically controls the use of the headlight high beams. Refer toProgrammable Features in Electronics for further details.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allowsyou to limit the highest available
transmission gear, and can be
activated during any driving condition.
When towing a trailer, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both
performance and engine braking.
• To switch from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, tap the shift lever to the left (-) once. The instrument cluster will display the current gear and the transmission will not
upshift beyond that gear. Tapping the shift lever to the left (-) or right (+) will
decrease or increase the top available gear. To disable ERS, simply hold the shift
lever to the right (+) until “D” is again displayed in the instrument cluster.
• 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.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
• This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which providesconvenient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake
Traction Control (BTC) System, which combines standard ABS and Traction
Control, provides resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque
transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE: This system is not appropriate for conditions where AWD LOW range is
recommended. Refer to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the
DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch)
• This is an electronic shift transfer case and is operated by the AWD Control
Switch (Transfer Case Switch), which is
located on the center console.
• This electronically shifted transfer case provides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range (AWD AUTO)
• All-wheel drive low range (LOW RANGE)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
• When additional traction is required, the LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed. The LOW RANGE position are designed for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Driving in the LOW RANGE positions on dry hard surfaced roads may
cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
• When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three times that of the AWD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to
overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE: The “SERV AWD Warning Light” monitors the electronic shift all-wheel drive
system. If this light remains on after engine start up or illuminates during driving, it
means that the all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is
required.

Shifting Procedures
AWD AUTO To LOW RANGE
NOTE: When shifting into or out of LOW RANGE some gear noise may be heard. This
noise is normal and is not detrimental to the vehicle or occupants.
• Shifting can be performed with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) orcompletely stopped. Use either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure • With the engine running, slow the vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
• Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• While still rolling, rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position.
• After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmissionback into gear.
Alternate Procedure • Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
• With the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine either OFF or running,shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position.
• After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
NOTE:
• If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred or Alternate Procedure are not satisfied prior to attempting the shift or if they no longer are being met while the shift attempt is in
process, the desired position indicator light will flash continuously while the original
position indicator light is ON, until all requirements have been met.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON position for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the ON
position, then the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on
or flashing.
WARNING!
• Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the“SERV AWD Warning Light” is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake
may allow the vehicle to roll which may cause personal injury.
• You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front
and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move
regardless of the transmission position. The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
