50/50 Third Row Folding Seat
•
Either or both third row seats can be folded forward to increase the rear cargo storage area.
• After opening the liftgate, either seat can be folded flat by pulling up the release handleon the back of the seat.
• A seat that is folded flat can be returned to the upright position by using the pull strap located on the back of the seat next to the release handle.
NOTE:
The second row seats must be in their full upright position, or tumbled when folding the
third row seats.
• To raise the seat, pull the seat toward you using the strap located on the back of the seat.
WARNING!
Do not drive the vehicle with the second row seats in the tumbled position. The second
row seats are only intended to be tumbled for entry and exit to the third row seat. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in personal injury.
POWER FOLDING THIRD ROW HEAD RESTRAINTS
•For improved visibility, the third row head
restraints can be folded using a switch, lo-
cated on the instrument panels switch bank.
NOTE:
The head restraints can only be folded
downward using the power folding switch.
The head restraints must be raised manually
when occupying the third row.

Power - Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
• The power tilt/telescoping steering con-trol is located below the turn signal/
wiper/washer/high beam lever on the
steering column.
•
To tilt the steering column, move the power
tilt/telescoping control up or down as de-
sired. To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, pull the control toward you or push
the control away from you as desired.
WARNING!
• Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment must
be locked while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving without
the tilt/telescoping adjustment locked could cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in you and others being severely
injured or killed.
• Moving the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without a
stable steering column, you could lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.
Adjust the column only while the vehicle is stopped.

Mist
• Rotate the end of the lever downward when a single wipe is desired.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be activated in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers
• This feature senses moisture on the vehicle's windshield and automatically activates thewipers for the driver when the switch is in the intermittent position. Rotate the end of the
lever to one of four settings to activate this feature and adjust sensitivity.
•
This feature can be activated/deactivated using the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to the Programmable Features under the Electronics section in this guide.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
Rear Wiper
Rear Wiper Operation
• Rotate the center portion of the lever forward to the first detent for intermittent operation and to the second detent for rear wiper operation.
Rear Washer Operation
• Rotate the center portion of the lever past the second detent to activate the rear washer.
High Beam Operation
•
Push the lever forward to activate the high beams. Pull the lever toward you for flash to pass.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off high beams when oncoming traffic is present to prevent headlight
glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
AUTOMATIC DIMMING MIRRORS
• The rearview and driver side exterior mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare from vehicles behind you.
• You can turn the feature on or off by pressing the button at the base of the rearview mirror. A light next to the button will illuminate to indicate when the dimming feature is
activated.

WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use isdangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you
want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic or
Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will
not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and will not
bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes; and
when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The
driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking
and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
•Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows you to
limit the highest available transmission
gear, and can be activated during any driv-
ing 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.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
• The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered stowed within the roof rack side rails. Wheninstalled, the roof rack can hold a maximum of 150 lbs (68 kg) of evenly distributed
weight.
Installing The Crossbars
• To install the crossbars, completely loosen the thumb screws at both ends and lift the crossbar from its stowed position.
• Bend the pivot points at each end of the crossbar and slide the thumb screw down.
• Set the crossbars into position and tighten the thumb screws.
NOTE:
Position the crossbars across the roof making sure the letters on the crossbar align with the
matching letters on the side rail.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

NOTE: The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the
weight referenced on the Tire and Loading Information placard. The addition of passengers and cargo may require reducing trailer tongue load and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). Redistributing cargo (to the trailer) may be necessary to avoid exceeding Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 3,900 lbs (1 769 kg).
• If the gross trailer weight is 3,500 lbs (1587 kg) or more, it is mandatory to use a weight-distributing hitch to ensure stable handling of yourvehicle.
NOTE:
Vehicles not factory equipped with trailer tow package are limited to 3,500 lbs (350 lbs tongue weight).
