HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Essential Information
Consult the Table of Contents to determine
which section contains the information you
desire.
Since the specification of your vehicle
depends on the items of equipment ordered,
certain descriptions and illustrations may
differ from your vehicle's equipment.
The detailed Index at the back of this
Owner's Manual contains a complete listing
of all subjects.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored
labels whose symbols indicate precautions to
be observed when using this component.
Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
for further information on the symbols used
in your vehicle.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
This vehicle has a higher ground clearance
and a higher center of gravity than many
passenger vehicles. It is capable of
performing better in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all
vehicles can go out of control. Because of the
higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out
of control it may roll over when some other
vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneu-
vers, or other unsafe driving actions that can
cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to
operate this vehicle safely may result in a
collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe
or fatal injury. Drive carefully. Rollover Warning Label
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat
belts provided is a major cause of severe or
fatal injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

panel and rotate to the desired position. The
key fob also contains an emergency key,
which is stored in the rear of the key fob.Ignition Node Module Key Fob Your vehicle may be equipped with a keyless
ignition system. The ignition system consists
of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP ignition button
system. The Remote Keyless Entry system
consists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go

NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other elec
-
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system.
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the key fob is in the passenger
compartment. Keyless Ignition Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key
fob battery can be verified by referring to the
instrument cluster, which will display direc -
tions to follow.
CAUTION!
The electrical components inside of the key
fob may be damaged if the key fob is
subjected to strong electrical shocks. In
order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside of the key fob,
avoid exposing the key fob to direct sunlight.

1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the OFF position.
2. Select the desired memory profile 1 or 2.
NOTE:
If a memory profile has not already been set,
refer to "Programming The Memory Feature"
in this section for instructions on how to set
a memory profile.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which
could cause a collision and serious injury
or death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.

outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets
can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the
air vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode Bi-Level Mode Selecting this mode from the touchscreen causes air to flow from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer air
from the floor outlets.
