Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will nowoccur for the programmed device (e.g., garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can cause
you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of the center console.
This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
will automatically shut down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the
outlet, the inverter should automatically re-
set. If the power rating exceeds approxi-
mately 170 Watts, the power inverter may
have to be reset manually. To reset the in-
verter manually, unplug the device and plug
it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit,
check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.

POWER OUTLET
The front power outlet is located in the front center storage bin of the instrument panel.
There are two power outlets located in the center console.
The rear power outlet is located in the right
rear cargo area.
The power outlets are labeled with either a
“key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate how
the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled
with a “key” are powered when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position,
while the outlets labeled with a “battery” are
connected directly to the battery and pow-
ered at all times.

NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt(13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be
replaced. See below image for fuse locations.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
• The rear cargo power outlet can be switched to “battery” powered all the time by switching the power outlet right rear quarter panel fuse in the fuse panel.

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 pro-
vides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range (AWDAUTO)
• 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 sur-
faced 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
1. With the engine running, slow the vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
3. While still rolling, rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position.
4. After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
Alternate Procedure
1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine either OFF or running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
3. Rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position.
4. 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.
