UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink)
• HomeLink replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices
such as garage door openers, motor-
ized gates, lighting or home security
systems. The HomeLink unit is pow-
ered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink buttons that are lo- cated in the overhead console or sun-
visor designate the three different
HomeLink channels.
• The HomeLink indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin program-
ming.
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device that is being programmed to the HomeLink system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position, then push
and hold the two outside HomeLink buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until
the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink for the
first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These
Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located
where the hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the
button that is normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.

Using HomeLink
To operate, push 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 lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming theuniversal 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 power inverter 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.
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 in-
verter 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 de-
vices prior to using the inverter.

Shifting Procedures
4WD HI To 4WD LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
press the “4WD LOW” button once on the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when
the shift is complete.
4WD LOW To 4WD HI
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and
press the “4WD LOW” button once on the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash and turn off when the shift is
complete.
NOTE:
Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely stopped;
however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly
aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph
(0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case
will not allow the shift.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the
transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air suspension, ensure the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height.

blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the Driver
Information Display (DID).
6. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the NEUTRAL (N) button.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
9. Press and hold the brake pedal. Shift the transmission back into NEUTRAL
10. Firmly apply the parking brake.
11. With the transmission and transfer case in NEUTRAL, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button until the engine turns off.
12. Move the transmission gear selector to PARK. Release the brake pedal.
13. Push the ENGINE STOP/START button twice (without pressing the brake pedal), to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position
Repeat these Steps 1 through 5 to shift out of NEUTRAL.
SELEC-TERRAIN
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Terrain positions:
Snow – Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in Snow mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather than first gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with air suspension, the
level will change to Normal Ride Height (NRH).
Auto – Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. Balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide improved handling and
acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. If equipped with air suspension, the level
will change to NRH.
Sand – Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as sand or wet grass.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management
of throttle and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to
NRH.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES (4WD OPERATION)
157

Mud– Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud. Driveline is
maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving surfaces. The
electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management of throttle and
wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to Off-Road 1.
Rock – Off-road calibration only available in 4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised (if
equipped with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance. Traction based tuning
with improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces. Activate the Hill
Descent Control for steep downhill control. Use for low speed obstacles such as large
rocks, deep ruts, etc. If equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will change
to Off-Road 2. If the Selec-Terrain switch is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is
switched from 4WD Low to 4WD High, the Selec-Terrain system will return to AUTO.
QUADRA-LIFT
The Quadra-Lift air suspension system provides full time load leveling capability
along with the benefit of being able to adjust vehicle height by the push of a button.
Quadra-Lift is available with both Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II.
• The system requires that the engine be running for all changes. When lowering
the vehicle all of the doors, including
the liftgate, must be closed.
• The Quadra-Lift air suspension system uses a lifting and lowering pattern
which keeps the headlights from shin-
ing into oncoming traffic. When raising
the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will
move up first and then the front. When
lowering the vehicle, the front will
move down first and then the rear.
• After the engine is turned off, you may notice that the air suspension system
operates briefly. This is normal. The
system is correcting the position of the
vehicle.
• To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift air suspension system
has a feature which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled. The feature
controls are located in the radio screen. Driving the vehicle over 5 mph (8 km/h)
will return the air suspension to normal operation.
• An audible chime will be heard whenever a system error has been detected.
