TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
Manual Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
The tilt/telescoping control handle is located below the steering wheel at the end of
the steering column.
• Push the handle down to unlock the
steering column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the
steering wheel upward or downward as
desired.
• To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, pull the steering wheel out-
ward or push it inward as desired.
• Pull up on the handle to lock the

Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
The power tilt/telescoping steering control is located below the turn signal/wiper/

• To tilt the steering column, move the
power tilt/telescoping control up or

• To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, pull the control toward you
or push the control away from you as
desired.
WARNING!
• Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment
must be locked while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or
driving without the tilt/telescoping adjustment locked could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in you and
others being severely injured or killed.
• Moving the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without
a stable steering column, you could lose control of the vehicle and have a

PADDLE SHIFT MODE
Paddle Shift Mode is a driver-interactive transmission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control of the vehicle. Paddle Shift Mode allows you
to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and
improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Refer to the “Starting And Operating” section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further details.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECO) MODE
The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions.
• Press the “ECO” switch in the center
stack of the instrument panel and a
amber light will indicate the ECO mode
is engaged.
When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is
engaged, the vehicle control systems will
be able to change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner
and downshift later.
• The overall driving performance will
be more conservative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be
temporarily inhibited based on tem-
perature and other factors.
NOTE:
When Sport Mode is enabled, the vehicle’s air suspension system will operate in
“Aero” Mode. Please refer to “QUADRA-LIFT™” within “OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES”
for further information.

has been made. The green LED light will turn off once the 9-1-1 call is terminated.
Have an authorized dealer service the vehicle if the rearview mirror light is
continuously red.
If a connection is made between a 9-1-1 operator and your vehicle,
