indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The Homelink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after Homelink® has
received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
• Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE:
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device) should activate when the HomeLink® button is
pressed.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button.Activation will now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door
opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office

WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you areprogramming 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 powerinverter 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.
• Press the switch located in the switch bank on the lower instrument panel to turn the power inverter on. The indicator light will turn on to
indicate the inverter is producing AC power.
• Press the switch again to turn the power inverter off. The indicator light will turn off.
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 electrical device has been removed from
the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating
exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset
manually. To reset the inverter 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 use a three-prong adaptor.
Do not insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not 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 OUTLETS
• The front power outlet is located inside the center storage bin of
the instrument panel. Push inward
on the storage lid to open the
compartment and gain access to
this power outlet.
• A second front power outlet is located inside the center console.
• The rear power outlet is located in the right rear cargo area.

• Park Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 1.5 in (38 mm) –This position lowers the vehicle for easier passenger entry and
exit. Press the “Down” button once from NRH while the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h). Once the vehicle speed
goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) the vehicle height will begin to
lower. The Indicator lamp on the “Down” button will be
illuminated when the vehicle is in Park Mode.
WARNING!
• You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattendedwith the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully
engaging the parking brake. The transfer case N (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.
• The air suspension system uses a high pressure volume of air to operate the system. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
system, see your authorized dealer for service.
Hill Start Assist/Hill Descent Control
• The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehiclefrom a stop on a hill.
• The Hill Descent Control system maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in

• Rotate the mode control knob toselect the following Selec-Track™
positions:
• Sport – Dry weather, on-road
calibration. Performance based
tuning that provides a rear wheel
drive feel but with improved
handling and acceleration over a
two-wheel drive vehicle. The
active suspension system will be
in Semi Firm mode, and a green
flag will light up in the instrument
cluster.
• Snow – Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on
and off road on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
• Auto – Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used
on and off road. This position balances traction with seamless steering
feel to provide improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel
drive vehicles.
• Track – This position offers track road calibration for use on high
traction surfaces. Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may
be felt on less forgiving surfaces.
• To w – Use this mode for towing. Vehicle suspension will go to Firm
mode and peak power will be limited in the engine controls.

WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the Performance Features is
intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be done
on any public roadways. It is rec ommended that these features be
used in a controlled environment and within the limits of the law. The
capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the performance pages
must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner, which can
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.
SUMMER/THREE-SEASON TIRES
• This vehicle may be equipped with wheels and tires to enhance traction in both wet and dry conditions.
• Summer tires are not intended to be driven in snow or on ice.
• Use summer tires only in sets of four.
NOTE: Summer tires will not contain the all season designation or
mountain/snowflake symbol on the sidewall of the tire.
WARNING!
Do not use summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You could lose
control, resulting in severe injury or death.

• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license platenumber.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.

With your consent, we will contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly,when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE,
ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE
SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER INFLATION,
THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE
THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
