WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are
less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is
impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol
levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don)t drive. Ride with a
designated non-drinking driver, call a cab,
a friend, or use public transportation.

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.
• May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example, sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
• 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 youto limit the highest available
transmission gear, and can be activated
during any driving condition. When
towing a trailer or operating the vehicle
in off-road conditions, 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 (the transmission may downshift), 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.

WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only in safe driving conditions
following local laws and phone use. All attention should be kept on the roadway
ahead. Failure to do so may result in a collision causing you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
iPod®/USB/MP3 CONTROL
•There are many ways to play music from iPod®players or other portable devices through
your vehicle's speakers. Your choices depend on what radio your vehicle is equipped with.
• The radio sales code is located on the lower right side of the radio faceplate.
If Equipped with Media Center 730N (Sales Code RER)
• This feature allows you to plug an iPod®
device into the vehicle’s sound system
through the iPod®Control port.
• The iPod
®Control port is located inside
the instrument panel storage bin. To get
into the iPod
®Control mode from a
touch-screen radio, press the MEDIA
hard-key, then touch the AUX or iPod
®
soft-key.
• The iPod
®Control cable may be equipped with a piece of VELCRO®for mounting
purposes, the VELCRO®is attached to the end of the iPod®Control cable that plugs
into the iPod®. To adhere the VELCRO®, remove the paper backing and stick the
adhesive side of the VELCRO®to the right side of the storage bin being careful that
the storage bin door will still close when the iPod®is mounted or when the cable is
stowed.
• When connected to this feature: • The iPod
®audio can be played on the vehicle’s sound system.

®can be controlled using the radio buttons to Play, Browse, and List the
iPod®contents. Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for details.

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing atrailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,
and frequent transmission shifting
occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch
to select TOW/HAUL mode. This will
improve performance and reduce the
potential for transmission overheating
or failure due to excessive shifting.
When operating in TOW/HAUL
mode, transmission upshifts are
delayed, and the transmission will
automatically downshift (for engine
braking) during steady braking
maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to
indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal
operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode is
desired, the switch must be pressed
each time the engine is started.
