5. Turn Signal and Wiper / Washer ControlTo use your windshield wiper/washers: for a single swipe, push the end of the control briefly; push and hold for three swipes with wash, or hold for a longer wash (up to ten seconds). The bars of varying length are for intermittent wipers. Rotate the windshield wiper control upward for fast intervals and downward for slow intervals.
6. Hazard Flasher ControlThe hazard flasher is located on the steering column, just behind the steering wheel. Press the flasher control and all front and rear direction signals will flash; press the control again to deactivate the feature.
1.ABS Warning LightYour anti-lock braking system (ABS) detects the onset of wheel lockup during brake applications and helps prevent wheels from locking during extreme braking situations. The ABS warning light will illuminate when you start the vehicle’s engine. If the light remains illuminated, continues to flash, or fails to illuminate, see an authorized dealer’s service department immediately.
2. Service Engine Soon LightThe Service Engine Soon indicator light is located in the instrument cluster and illuminates when the engine is started. If the light remains illuminated, it may signal a problem with the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II), consult your Owner’s Guide for additional information. If the light is
blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage the vehicle’s catalytic converter. If blinking occurs, drive in a moderate fashion and have your vehicle serviced immediately by an authorized dealer.
3. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)When the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check the tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure, as shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label (located on the edge of the driver’s door jamb or B-pillar). Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can eventually lead to tire failure. Note: Outside temperatures affect tire pressure; refer to the Owner’s Guide for additional tire information.
7. Speed ControlTo engage speed control, ensure a vehicle speed of 30 mph or greater, and press ON, then momentarily press SET+. To set a higher speed, press and hold SET +, then release the control when you have reached your desired speed. To set a lower speed, press and hold SET – until you have reached your desired speed, or depress the brake pedal and press the SET + control. To return to a previously set speed faster than 30 mph, press RES. To disengage speed controls, depress the brake pedal or press OFF.
8. Headlamp and PanelDimmer ControlThe headlamp control is located on the lower left portion of the instrument panel. The first clockwise position controls the parking lamps; the second clockwise position controls the headlamps. If your vehicle is equipped with fog lamps, pull the control out one position to activate the lamps to aid visibility in fog, snow or rain. The autolamps feature (if equipped) automatically activates/deactivates your headlamps as necessary. To use the autolamps feature, rotate the control counterclockwise; to deactivate the feature, place the control in the O (Off) position.
9. Parking Brake ReleasePull the release lever to release the parking brake. Driving with the parking brake engaged will cause the brakes to wear out prematurely and reduce fuel economy. The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle. However, if normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Because the parking brake applies only the
rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
10. Four-Wheel Drive(if equipped) When 4X4 AUTO is selected, power is automatically provided to all four wheels. It is used for normal street and highway driving. 4X4 HIGH is used for extra traction in slippery conditions, such as in snow, on icy roads, or in off-road situations. It should not be operated on dry pavement. 4X4 LOW can be selected to provide extra gearing to deliver maximum power to all four wheels. It is intended only for off-road applications such as deep sand, steep grades or pulling heavy objects.
11. AdvanceTrac® with RollStability Control (RSC®)The AdvanceTrac® with RSC® system enhances your vehicle’s stability during maneuvers that require all available tire traction, like in wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or whenperforming emergency maneuvers. In an emergency lane change, the driver will experience better overall vehicle traction, and have better control of the vehicle. The AdvanceTrac® with RSC® button allows the driver to turn off certain features of the AdvanceTrac® with RSC® system for speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h). To deactivate, please refer to the Owner’s Guide for additional information.
12. Power Adjustable Foot Pedals (if equipped) Press and hold the control to adjust the position of the acceleratorand brake pedal forward or away from you, to a maximum of three inches of
travel. The accelerator and brake pedal should only be adjusted when the vehicle is stopped and the gearshift lever is in the P (Park) position.
13. Heated Seats(if equipped)The heated seat controls are located in the lower center of the instrument panel. To operate the heated seat function, push the control to activate and push again to deactivate.
14. Heated Windshield(if equipped)The heated windshield control is located on the instrument panel just under the climate controls behind the gear shift lever. To activate the heated windshield, push the control. During initial start-up, the windshield may have a shimmering appearance.This is normal operation and will only last for approximatelyone minute. The heated windshield will turn off automatically after a period of eight minutes if the outside temperature is below 40˚F or a period of four minutes when the outside temperature is above 40˚F. To manually turn off the heated windshield before the specified time has passed, push the control switch again.
15. Gearshift / Overdrive(O/D) ControlOverdrive is the normal driving position for the best fuel economy, and can be deactivated by pressing the transmission control switch on the side of the gearshift lever. This position allows for all forward gears except overdrive, provides engine braking and should be used when driving conditions cause excessive shifting from O/D to othergears, such as city traffic, hilly terrain and trailer towing.
