• Rotate the Rear Temperature Control or the Rear Blower Control knobs on the rear temperature controls.
• Press the REAR button and then the OFF button on the front temperature controls to turn the rear controls off.
PARKSENSE®REAR PARK ASSIST
• The four ParkSense®sensors, located in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
• When an object is detected within two meters behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) and a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from
the Customer Programmable Features section of the EVIC). As the vehicle moves
closer to the object, the chime rate will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
Cleaning the ParkSense® Sensors
• If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle InformationCenter (EVIC), clean the ParkSense®sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft
cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
NOTE: When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean
off the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.

and EVIC Controls location.
Compass Calibration
• This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC
will display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
• You may also calibrate the compass manually by selecting Setup (Customer- Programmable Features) in the EVIC, then select Compass Variance and then enter
the correct variance. Next, select Calibrate Compass in the Setup menu to start the
calibration process. The “CAL” indicator will be displayed in the EVIC. Complete
one or more 360 degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects)
until the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now
function normally.
ECO
• The ECO message will appear in your EVIC display whenever you are driving in afuel efficient manner.
• This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be used to modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., andfrequent transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to select
TOW/HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for
transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, transmission upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will
automatically downshift (for engine braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to
indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal operation.
If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the
switch must be pressed each time the
engine is started.
RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- 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.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue each time the vehicle is
restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
