WARNING!(Continued)
•When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key from the vehicle and lock
the vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allow-
ing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
transmission gear selector.
•Do not leave the ignition key in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren). A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Key Ignition Park InterlockThis vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the transmission to be
in PARK before the ignition switch can be turned
to the LOCK/OFF (key removal) position. The
key can only be removed from the ignition whenthe ignition is in the LOCK/OFF position, and
once removed the transmission is locked in
PARK.
NOTE:
If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap
the key in the ignition switch to warn you
that this safety feature is inoperable. The
engine can be started and stopped but the
key cannot be removed until you obtain
service.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmis-
sion Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the
gear selector in PARK unless the brakes are
applied. To shift the transmission out of PARK,
the ignition switch must be turned to the ON/
RUN position (engine running or not) and the
brake pedal must be pressed.
Six-Speed Automatic Transmission
— If Equipped
The transmission gear position display (located
in the instrument cluster) indicates the transmis-
sion gear range. You must press the brakepedal to move the gear selector out of PARK
(refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System” in this section). To drive, move the gear
selector from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE
position.
The electronically-controlled transmission pro-
vides a precise shift schedule. The transmission
electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the
first few shifts on a new vehicle may be some-
what abrupt. This is a normal condition, and
precision shifts will develop within a few hun-
dred miles (kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting between these
gears.
The transmission gear selector has only PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift posi-
tions. Manual shifts can be made using the
AutoStick shift control (refer to “AutoStick” in
this section). Moving the gear selector to the left
or right (-/+) while in the DRIVE position will
169

manually select the transmission gear, and will
display the current gear in the instrument clus-
ter as 1, 2, 3, etc.
Gear Ranges
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a mo-
ment to allow the selected gear to engage
before accelerating. This is especially im-
portant when the engine is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by
locking the transmission. The engine can be
started in this range. Never attempt to use
PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the
parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this
range.
When parking on a level surface, you may shift
the transmission into PARK first, and then apply
the parking brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake
before shifting the transmission to PARK, oth-
erwise the load on the transmission lockingmechanism may make it difficult to move the
gear selector out of PARK. As an added precau-
tion, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a
downhill grade and away from the curb on an
uphill grade.
WARNING!
•Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to
guard against vehicle movement and pos-
sible injury or damage.
•Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
hit someone or something. Only shift into
gear when the engine is idling normally
and your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
•Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always shift the transmis-
sion into PARK, apply the parking brake,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the igni-
tion key. Once the key is removed, the
transmission is locked in PARK, securing
the vehicle against unwanted movement.

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.
Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes an elec-
tronically controlled Overdrive (sixth gear). The
transmission will automatically shift into Over-
drive if the following conditions are present:
•The gear selector is in the DRIVE position.
•The transmission fluid has reached an ad-
equate temperature.
•The engine coolant has reached an ad-
equate temperature.
•The vehicle speed is sufficiently high.
•The driver is not heavily pressing the
accelerator.Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic transmis-
sion on your vehicle. A clutch within the torque
converter engages automatically at calibrated
speeds. This may result in a slightly different
feeling or response during normal operation in
the upper gears. When the vehicle speed drops
or during some accelerations, the clutch auto-
matically disengages.
NOTE:
Engagement of the torque converter clutch
is inhibited at very cold temperatures. Be-
cause the engine speed is higher when the
torque converter clutch is not engaged, it
may seem as if the transmission is not
shifting into Overdrive when cold. This is
normal. The torque converter clutch will
function normally once the transmission is
sufficiently warm.
Continuously Variable Automatic
Transmission (CVT) — If Equipped
The transmission gear position display (located
in the instrument cluster) indicates the transmis-
sion gear range. You must press the brakepedal to move the gear selector out of PARK
(refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System” in this section). To drive, move the gear
selector from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE
position.
NOTE:
The Continuously Variable Automatic Trans-
mission (CVT) changes ratios in a continu-
ous manner. This may sometimesfeelas if
it is slipping, but this is normal and does not
harm anything.
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting between these
gears.
The transmission gear selector has only PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift posi-
tions. Manual shifts can be made using the
AutoStick shift control (refer to"AutoStick"in
this section). Moving the gear selector to the left
or right (-/+) while in the DRIVE position will
manually select from a set of predefined trans-
mission gear ratios, and will display the current
gear in the instrument cluster as 1, 2, 3, etc.
173

will remain in the selected gear until another
upshift or downshift is chosen, except as de-
scribed below:
•The transmission will automatically upshift
when necessary to prevent engine over-
speed.
•The transmission will automatically downshift
as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lug-
ging) and will display the current gear.
•The transmission will automatically downshift
to first gear when coming to a stop. After a
stop, the driver should manually upshift (+)
the transmission as the vehicle is
accelerated.
•You can start out, from a stop, in first or
second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow
starting in second gear. Starting out in sec-
ond gear can be helpful in snowy or icy
conditions.
•If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur.
•Avoid using speed control when AutoStick is
engaged.•Transmission shifting will be more noticeable
when AutoStick is engaged.
•The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
To disengage AutoStick mode, hold the gear
selector to the right (+) until “D” is once again
displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift
in or out of the AutoStick mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
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.
AutoStick (CVT) — If EquippedAutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing six manually selectable gear
ratios, giving you more control of the vehicle.
AutoStick allows you to maximize engine brak-
ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and down-shifts, 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.
Operation
NOTE:
AutoStick is not available until the CVT
warms up in cold weather.
When the gear selector is in the DRIVE position,
AutoStick is activated by moving the gear se-
lector side-to-side. Moving the gear selector to
the right (+) will activate AutoStick and shift up
to the next higher manual ratio, unless you are
already operating in or near Overdrive, in which
case sixth gear ratio will be selected. In like
manner, moving the gear selector to the left (-)
will activate AutoStick and shift to the next lower
manual ratio. The manually-selected gear will
be displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up
or down when (+/-) is manually selected by the
driver, unless an engine lugging or overspeed
condition would result. It will remain in the
177

selected gear until another upshift or downshift
is chosen, except as described below:
•The transmission will automatically upshift
when necessary to prevent engine over-
speed.
•The transmission will automatically downshift
as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lug-
ging) and will display the current gear.
•The transmission will automatically downshift
to first gear when coming to a stop. After a
stop, the driver should manually upshift (+)
the transmission as the vehicle is
accelerated.
•If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur.
•Transmission shifting will be more noticeable
when AutoStick is engaged.
•Heavy Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) appli-
cation will disengage AutoStick mode.
•The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.To disengage AutoStick mode, hold the gear
selector to the right (+) until “D” is once again
displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift
in or out of the AutoStick mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
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.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED
This feature provides full time, on-demand,
four–wheel drive (4WD).Where one or more wheels have wheel spin or
if additional traction is needed in sand, deep
snow, or loose traction surfaces, activate the
“4WD LOCK” switch by pulling up once and
releasing. This locks the center coupling allow-
ing more torque to be sent to the rear wheels.
The “4WD Indicator Light” will come on in the
cluster. This can be done on the fly, at any
vehicle speed. To deactivate, simply pull on the
switch one more time. The “4WD Indicator
Light” will then go out.
Four-Wheel Drive Switch

WARNING!(Continued)
Light” will be illuminated. When in “Partial
Off” mode, the engine power reduction of
TCS is disabled, and the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system is re-
duced. Trailer Sway control (TSC) (if
equipped) is disabled when the ESC system
is in the"Partial Off"mode.
Full Off (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only)
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-
road use when ESC stability features could
inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to trail con-
ditions. This mode is entered by pushing and
holding the “ESC Off” switch for five seconds
when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is
running. After five seconds, the"ESC OFF
Indicator Light"will illuminate and the “ESC
OFF” message will appear in the odometer.
Push and release the Trip Odometer button
located on the instrument cluster to clear this
message.
In this mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS sec-tion, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a
speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35 mph
(56 km/h), the system returns to “Partial Off”
mode, as described above. TCS remains off.
When the vehicle speed drops below 30 mph
(48 km/h), the ESC system shuts off. ESC is
deactivated at low vehicle speeds so that it will
not interfere with off-road driving however, ESC
function returns to provide the stability feature
at speeds above 35 mph (56 km/h). The"ESC
OFF Indicator Light"will always be illuminated
when ESC is off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the
“ESC Off” switch. This will restore the “ESC On”
mode of operation.
NOTE:
The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the gear
selector is placed into the PARK position
from any other position, and then moved out
of the PARK position. This will occur even if
the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
In the"Full Off"mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are disabled.
In an emergency evasive maneuver, the
ESC system will not engage to assist in
maintaining stability. “ESC Off” mode is in-
tended for off-highway or off-road use only.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the igni-
tion switch is cycled to the ON/
RUN position. It should go out with
the engine running. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes
on continuously 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
193

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, a LOW TIRE
message will be displayed for a minimum of five
seconds, and an audible chime will be activated
when one or more of the four active road tire
pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle,
and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The sys-
tem will automatically update and the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Light will extinguish and the
LOW TIRE message will turn off once the
updated tire pressures have been received.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (30 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected. The
system fault will also sound a chime. If the
ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat
providing the system fault still exists. The Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off
when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur with any of the following
scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPM sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors.NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in the
compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light and
LOW TIRE message will still turn ON due to
the low tire.
3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
206

5. Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically and the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Telltale Light will turn OFF, as long as no
tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road
tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.
Premium System — If EquippedThe TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel
rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of your tires regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:•Receiver Module
•Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
•Three Trigger Modules (mounted in three of
the four wheel wells)
•Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Messages, which display in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
•Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more
of the four active road tire pressures are low.
The audible chime will sound once every igni-
tion cycle for the first condition that it detects. In
addition, the EVIC will display a “LOW TIRE”
text message for a minimum of five seconds
and a graphic of the pressure value(s) with the
low tire(s) flashing.Should a low tire condition occur on any of the
four active road tire(s), you should stop as soon
as possible and inflate all tires that are flashing
on the graphic display to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The sys-
tem will automatically update, the “LOW TIRE”
text message will no longer be displayed, the
graphic display of the pressure value(s) will stop
flashing, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
will extinguish once the updated tire pressure(s)
have been received.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Display
207

NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (30 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.
Service TPMS Message
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds, and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected. The
system fault will also sound a chime. The EVIC
will display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds. This text
message is then followed by a graphic display,
with “- -“ in place of the pressure value(s)
indicating which Tire Pressure Monitoring Sen-
sor(s) is not being received.If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If
the system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light will no longer
flash, the"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"text mes-
sage will not be present, and a pressure value
will be displayed instead of dashes. A system
fault can occur with any of the following sce-
narios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPM sensors.2. Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors.
The EVIC will also display a"SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM"message for a minimum of five sec-
onds when a system fault related to an incorrect
sensor location fault is detected. In this case,
the"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"message is then
followed with a graphic display with pressure
values still shown. This indicates that the pres-
sure values are still being received from the
TPM sensors but they may not be located in the
correct vehicle position. The system still needs
to be serviced as long as the"SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM"message is displayed.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
