Shared ModesThe VES™ and radio are capable of communi-
cating with each other. This allows the VES™ to
output radio audio to the headphones and the
radio to output VES™ audio to the vehicle
speakers. When the radio and VES™ are in the
same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be
visible on the radio’s display and the shared
icon will be visible on the VES™ screen. When
in shared mode, the same audio source is
heard in the headphones and vehicle speakers
simultaneously.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the
shared mode with the VES™, only the radio is
able to control the radio functions. In this case,
VES™ can share the radio mode, but not
change stations until the radio mode is changed
to a mode that is different from the VES™
selected radio mode. When shared, the radio
has priority over the VES™ or all radio modes(FM, AM, and SAT). The VES™ has the ability
to switch tuner (AM/FM/MW/LW), SEEK, TUNE,
and recall presets in radio modes as long as it is
not in shared mode.
When in shared disc or satellite video mode
both the radio and the VES™ have control of
the video functions. The VES™ has the ability to
control the following video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and
Track Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/
Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast
Forward, Rewind, and Track Up/Down).
The VES™ can even control radio modes or video
modes while the radio is turned off. The VES™
can access the radio modes or disc modes by
navigating to those modes on the VES™ and
activating a radio mode or disc mode.
Information Mode Display
When information mode is active, the current
mode setting for both audio channels is dis-
played. In addition to the items called out by
number, the remaining information displays the
current status of the source (such as station
frequency, name, preset or track number, song
title, artist name, album name, etc.).
1. Channel 1 Mode – Displays the current
source for Channel 1.

CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition, take the
following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching
the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a
soft cloth, wiping from center to edge.3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid
scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thin-
ner, cleaners, or anti-static sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures
may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in playing a particu-
lar disc, it may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair, moisture or
dew on the disc) oversized, or have protection
encoding. Try a known good disc before con-
sidering disc player service.

In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the transmission
will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit your authorized
dealer at your earliest possible conve-
nience. Your authorized dealer has diagnos-
tic equipment to determine if the problem
could recur. If the transmission cannot be
reset, authorized dealer service is required.Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation
The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control
allows the driver to limit the highest available
gear when the shift lever is in the DRIVE
position. For example, if you shift the transmis-
sion into 3 (third gear), the transmission will
never shift above third gear, but will shift down
into second and first gears normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode
at any vehicle speed. When the shift lever is in
the DRIVE position, the transmission will oper-
ate automatically, shifting between all available
gears. Tapping the shift lever to the left (-) will
downshift the transmission, activate ERS mode,
display the current gear in the instrument clus-
ter, and maintain that gear as the top available
gear. Once in ERS mode, tapping the shift lever
to the left (-) or right (+) will change the top
available gears.
To exit ERS mode, simply press and hold the
shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is once again
displayed in the shift lever position indicator in
the instrument cluster.WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could
skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control
allows the driver to limit the highest available
gear when the shift lever is in the DRIVE
position. For example, if you shift the transmis-
sion into 3 (third gear), the transmission will
never shift above third gear, but will shift down
into second and first gears normally.
Use of ERS (or TOW/HAUL mode) also enables
an additional underdrive gear which is not nor-
mally used during through-gear accelerations.
This additional gear can improve vehicle perfor-
mance and cooling capability when towing a
trailer on certain grades. In ERS mode, gears 1
though 3 are underdrive gears, and ERS 4 is
direct drive. ERS 5 and 6 (Overdrive gears ) are
the same as the normal fourth and fifth gears.
You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at
any vehicle speed. When the shift lever is in the
DRIVE position, the transmission will operate
automatically, shifting between all available
gears. Tapping the shift lever to the left (-) will
activate ERS mode, display the current gear in
the instrument cluster, and maintain that gear as
the top available gear. Once in ERS mode, tap-
ping the shift lever to the left (-) or right (+) will
change the top available gear.
The instrument cluster display will show the
requested top gear limit, however the transmis-
sion will not downshift to the requested gear if
doing so would overspeed the engine. The
transmission will downshift once the vehicle
speed has slowed sufficiently.
To exit ERS mode, simply press and hold the
shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is once again
displayed in the shift lever position indicator in
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could
skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
NOTE:
To select the proper gear position for maxi-
mum deceleration (engine braking), simply
press and hold the shift lever to the left (-).
The transmission will shift to the range from
which the vehicle can best be slowed down.

Special AdditivesThe manufacturer strongly recommends against
using any special additives in the transmission.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an engi-
neered product and its performance may be
impaired by supplemental additives. Therefore,
do not add any fluid additives to the transmis-
sion. The only exception to this policy is the use
of special dyes for diagnosing fluid leaks. Avoid
using transmission sealers as they may ad-
versely affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your trans-
mission as the chemicals can damage your
transmission components. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.Fluid Level Check – 3.6L And 3.0L Diesel
Engine
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does
not require adjustment under normal operating
conditions. Routine fluid level checks are not
required, therefore the transmission has no
dipstick. Your authorized dealer can check your
transmission fluid level using a special service
dipstick.
If you notice fluid leakage or transmission mal-
function, visit your authorized dealer immedi-
ately to have the transmission fluid level
checked. Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe transmis-
sion damage.
CAUTION!
•
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit
your authorized dealer immediately. Se-
vere transmission damage may occur.
Your authorized dealer has the proper
tools to adjust the fluid level accurately. Fluid Level Check – 5.7L Engine
It is best to check the fluid level when the
transmission is at normal operating temperature
(approximately 180°F / 82°C). This occurs after
at least 15 miles (25 km) of driving. At normal
operating temperature the fluid cannot be held
comfortably between the fingertips.
Use the following procedure to check the fluid
level properly:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Run the engine at idle speed and normal
operating temperature.
3. Fully apply the parking brake, and press the
brake pedal.
4. Place the shift lever momentarily into each
gear position (allowing time for the transmission
to fully engage in each position), ending with the
shift lever in PARK.
5. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and rein-
sert it until seated.
