ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
•
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides conve-
nient 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 posi-
tion 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) or completelystopped. 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 transmission back 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.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
88

Shifting Into NEUTRAL
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and shift the transmission to PARK.
• Turn the engine off.
• For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go, remove the Keyless Enter-N-Go button and use theKey Fob to complete this procedure.
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine.
• Press and hold the brake pedal and shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Press and hold the transfer case N (Neutral) button for four seconds, until the light next to the N symbol starts to blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the shift to N (Neutral) is complete.
• Start the engine and shift the transmission into REVERSE.
• Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
• Turn the engine off and firmly apply the parking brake.
• Shift the transmission into PARK and remove the Key Fob.
• Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar and release the parking brake.
CAUTION!
•Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or
transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing.
• It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
WARNING!
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 even if the transmission is in PARK. The parking brake
should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
UTILITY
92

•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F
(0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake
System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally
and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend
you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• 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 (kilome-
ters) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest
service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
•
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The light also flashes when TCS is
active. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it
may be desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the
ESC Off
switch located below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
- Charging System Light
•
This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes
when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing when the
engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
- Air Bag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-
trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence
when the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause
the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5 600 km) since last reset. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Oil Change Required” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16 000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering andtransmission as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required maintenance.
At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:
