POWER WINDOWS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Do not leave children unattended in your vehicle
and do not let them play with the power windows. They may
seriously injure themselves.
WARNING:When closing the power windows, you should verify
they are free of obstructions and make sure that children and
pets are not in the proximity of the window openings.
Note:You may hear a rumbling noise when one or both of the rear
windows are open. Lower a front window slightly to reduce this noise.
Press the switch to open the
window.
Lift the switch to close the window.
One-Touch Up or Down (Front Windows)
Note:The window may disable for up to five minutes if you cycle it up
and down repeatedly. This helps prevent damage to the motor. Normal
operation resumes once the motor cools.
This feature automatically opens or closes the window.
Press or lift the switch completely and release. The window fully opens
or closes. Press or lift it again to stop the window.
Restoring the One-Touch Up Functionality
Note:Perform one-touch up re-calibration with the door closed.
Calibrating with the door open causes the window to continuously
bounce back.
Functionality may be lost under low battery power conditions.
To reset this function after restoring full battery power:
1. Pull the switch to the one-touch up position.
2. Hold the switch until the glass reaches the stall position and continue
to hold for two seconds.
3. Press the switch down and operate the window to the full down

WARNING:Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It takes you longer to stop the vehicle. Have
the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and
the risk of personal injury.
Charging System
It illuminates when the 12–volt battery is not charging properly.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible. This indicates
a problem with the electrical system or a related component.
Check Fuel Cap (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when you may not have installed the fuel cap
properly. Continued driving with this light on may cause the
service engine soon warning indicator to come on.
Check Suspension
It illuminates when you press the air suspension dump switch.
Check Transmission (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a transmission problem exists;
shifting may be restricted. Depending on the severity of the
problem, the shifter’s digital read-out may turn blank.
On MD 3000 series transmissions, operation may continue in order to
reach service assistance. The control unit may not respond to shift
selector requests, since there are operating limitations on the
transmission (such as upshift and downshift restrictions). Direction
changes do not occur.
Cruise Control
It illuminates when you switch this feature on.

•TRIP A/B: Registers the distance of individual journeys. Press and
release the INFO button until the A or B trip appears in the display
(this represents the trip mode). Press the RESET button to reset.
SeeSystem check and vehicle feature customizationlater in this
section to switch the display from metric to English.
•MILES (KILOMETERS) TO E: This displays an estimate of
approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your
tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition
off when refueling to allow this feature to detect the added fuel
correctly. The distance to empty calculation uses a running average
fuel economy based on your recent driving history of 500 miles
(800 kilometers). This value is not the same as the average fuel
economy display. The running average fuel economy resets to a
factory default value if the battery is disconnected.
•AVG MPG (L/100 km): Average fuel economy displays your average
fuel economy in miles/gallon or liters/100 km.
•TIMER: Displays the trip elapsed drive time. Press and release
RESET to pause the timer. Press and hold RESET to reset the timer.

HEATED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat.
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
•Operate the heated seats unless the engine is running. Doing so could
drain your vehicle’s battery.
Press to cycle through the various heat settings and off.
Warmer settings are indicated by more indicator lights.

AUXILIARY POWER POINTS
WARNING:Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the
cigarette lighter socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter
can cause damage not covered by your warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury.
Note:If you use the power points when the engine is not running, the
battery may discharge and there may not be sufficient battery power to
start your engine.
Note:Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the power
point. This damages the outlet and blows the fuse.
Note:Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over the vehicle capacity of 12–volt
DC 180 watts or a fuse may blow.
Note:Do not use the power point for operating a cigarette lighter
element.
Note:Improper use of the power point can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
Note:Always keep the power point caps closed when they are not in
use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the power point. To prevent the
battery from discharging:
•Do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running.
•Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when you park your
vehicle for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be:
•On the instrument panel (two locations).
•Inside the center console storage compartment (if equipped).
•On the rear of the center console (if equipped).
•Inside the 20-percent front seat console (if equipped).
•Inside the rear under seat storage compartment (if equipped).

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle on dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING:Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in
other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine.
WARNING:If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approximately five miles (eight kilometers)
after you connect it. This is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You may disregard any unusual
driving characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.
When starting your vehicle, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
If you operate your vehicle in a heavy snowstorm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may partially clog with snow or ice.
If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant reduction in
power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow or ice away
from the air induction inlet.

vehicle checked.
Before starting your vehicle:
•Make sure all occupants buckle their safety belts.
•Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is set.
