To Release The Steering Wheel LockCycle the ignition and start the engine.
NOTE:
If you turned the wheel to the right to engage
the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to
the right to disengage it. If you turned the
wheel to the left to engage the lock, turn the
wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed
or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless
of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses the factory-mated Key Fob
with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only
Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle
can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
The system will shut the engine off in two sec-
onds if an invalid Key Fob is used to start the
engine.After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on
for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics. In addi-
tion, if the light begins to flash after the bulb
check, it indicates that someone used an invalid
Key Fob to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off
after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there
is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible
by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
•
Do not make modifications or alterations to
the immobilizer system. Modifications or
alterations to the immobilization system
may result in a loss of security protection.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
•The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system is
not compatible with some after-market re-
mote starting systems. Use of these sys-
tems may result in vehicle starting prob-
lems and loss of security protection.
All of the Key Fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE:
Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a Key Fob is
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.

Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag are designed to
provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts in certain frontal collisions de-
pending on several factors, including the sever-
ity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air
Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of
injury in rear, or side collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemen-
tal Driver Side Knee Air Bag will not deploy in all
frontal collisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage — for ex-
ample, some pole collisions, truck underrides,
and angle offset collisions. On the other hand,
depending on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all side
collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend
on the severity and type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle decel-
eration over time, vehicle speed and damage bythemselves are not good indicators of whether or
not an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in
all collisions, and also are needed to help keep
you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition, the air bag
system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light in the instrument
panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check
when the ignition is first turned to
the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the
Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC
detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either
momentarily or continuously. A single chime will
sound if the light comes on again after initial
startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate
the instrument cluster Air Bag Warning Light if a
malfunction is noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record the nature
of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t have
the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the
light does not come on as a bulb check when
the ignition is first turned on, stays on after
you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you uncon-
scious and can eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
•Do not run the engine in a closed garage
or in confined areas any longer than
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area.
•
If you are required to drive with the trunk/
liftgate open, make sure that all windows are
closed and the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the
recirculation mode.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle
with the engine running, adjust your heat-
ing or cooling controls to force outside air
into the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed. The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have a competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or misposi-
tioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment. In addition, inspect
the exhaust system each time the vehicle is
raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should Make
Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must
be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or
retractor condition, replace the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and re-
main on for four to eight seconds
as a bulb check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light
is not lit during starting, see your
authorized dealer. If the light stays
on, flickers, or comes on while driving, have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode
and place the blower control on high speed. You
should be able to feel the air directed against
the windshield. See your authorized dealer for
service if your defroster is inoperable.

Multifunction LeverThe multifunction lever is located on the left side
of the steering column.
Turn SignalsMove the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster
flash to show proper operation of the front and
rear turn signal lights.NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash,
or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it
would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Lane Change AssistTap the lever up or down once, without moving
beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or left)
will flash three times then automatically turn off.
Flash-To-PassYou can signal another vehicle with your head-
lights by partially pulling the multifunction lever
toward the steering wheel. This will cause the
high beam headlights to turn on until the lever is
released.
High/Low Beam SwitchPush the multifunction lever toward the instru-
ment panel to switch the headlights to high
beam. Pulling the multifunction back toward the
steering wheel will turn the low beams back on,
or shut the high beams off.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are lo-
cated on the multifunction lever on the left side
of the steering column. The front wipers are
operated by rotating a switch, located on the
end of the lever. For information on the rear
wiper/washer, refer to “Rear Window Features”
in “Understanding The Features Of Your Ve-
hicle”.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per
minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Air Bag Warning LightThis light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check
when the ignition switch is first
turned to the ON/RUN position. If
the light is either not on during
starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have
the system inspected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information. 3. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem called OBD II that monitors en-
gine and automatic transmission con-
trol systems. The light will illuminate when the
key is in the ON/RUN position before engine
start. If the bulb does not come on when turning
the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condi-
tion checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing
gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate
the light after engine start. The vehicle should
be serviced if the light stays on through several
of your typical driving cycles. In most situations,
the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to
the engine control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is
flashing, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as ref-
erenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures than in normal operating conditions.
This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances such as dry
plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could re-
sult in death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.

4.Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON/
RUN position. It should go out with
the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction
has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.
NOTE:
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN. Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN,
the ESC system will be ON, even if it was
turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or click-
ing sounds when it is active. This is normal;
the sounds will stop when ESC becomes
inactive following the maneuver that caused
the ESC activation.
5.
TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the
TOW/HAUL button has been se-
lected. The TOW/HAUL button is lo-
cated in the center of the instrument
panel (below the climate controls).
6. Turn Signal IndicatorThe arrows will flash with the exterior
turn signals when the turn signal lever
is operated. A tone will chime, and an
EVIC message will appear if the turn signals are
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if
either indicator flashes at a rapid rate. 7. High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high
beam.
8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the
front fog lights are on.
9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light — If
Equipped The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Decent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can only
be armed when the transfer case is
in the “4WD Low” position and the vehicle
speed is less then 30 mph (48 km/h). If these
conditions are not met while attempting to use
the HDC feature, the HDC indicator lamp will
flash on/off.
163

12. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If
EquippedThis indicator will illuminate when
the park lights or headlights are
turned on.
13. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to
ON/RUN, this light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver or front
passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will
sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver or front passenger seat belt remains un-
buckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or
remain on continuously. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” for further information.
14. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid
level and parking brake applica-
tion. If the brake light turns on it
may indicate that the parking brake
is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake
system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Pro-
gram (ESP) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been cor-
rected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying
the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when
the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during
sharp cornering maneuvers, which change
fluid level conditions. The vehicle should
have service performed, and the brake fluid
level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the
vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.

sure. The light should turn on momen-
tarily when the engine is started. If the light turns
on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off
the engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when this light turns on.
• Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
corrected. This light does not show how
much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level
must be checked under the hood.
• Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the elec-
trical charging system. The light should
come on when the ignition switch is
first turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-
essential electrical devices or increase engine
speed (if at idle). If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experi-
encing a problem with the charging system.

Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho-
rized dealer.
•If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump
Starting Procedures” in “What To Do In
Emergencies”.
• Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
This light informs you of a problem
with the Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) system. The light will come
on when the ignition is first turned
ON and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on
while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition
key when the vehicle has completely stopped
and the shift lever is placed in the PARK
position. The light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running,
your vehicle will usually be drivable. How-
ever, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when
the engine is running, immediate service is
required. You may experience reduced per-
formance, an elevated/rough idle or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing.
• Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. As temperatures rise
and the gauge approaches H,this in-
dicator will illuminate and a single chime will
sound after reaching a set threshold. Further
overheating will cause the temperature gauge
to pass H,a continuous chime will occur until
the engine is allowed to cool.
• If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the tem-
perature reading does not return to normal,
turn the engine off immediately and call for
service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats”
in “What To Do In Emergencies” for more
information. •
Transmission Temperature Light
This light indicates that there is
excessive transmission fluid tem-
perature that might occur with se-
vere usage such as trailer towing. It
may also occur when operating the
vehicle in a high torque converter slip condition,
such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow
plowing, off- road operation). If this light comes
on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or
faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until
the light goes off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Indicator illuminated will even-
tually cause severe transmission damage or
transmission failure.
