TILT STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt lever is located on the steeringcolumn, below the turn signal lever.
• Push down on the lever to unlock the steering column.
• With one hand firmly on the steering wheel, move the steering column up or
down as desired.
• Pull upward on the lever to lock the column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving, or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Be sure the steering column is locked before driving
your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in you or others being
severely injured or killed.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats arelocated near the bottom center of the
instrument panel (below the heater/air
conditioning controls).
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a
second time to select Low-level
heating. Press the switch a third time to
shut the heating elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after approximately 30 minutes. The Low-level setting will turn Off automatically after
approximately 30 minutes.
CAUTION!
Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or
degrade the material of the seat.
GETTING STARTED

CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL Warning
message illuminated will eventually cause severe transmission damage and
transmission failure.
WARNING!
Continued operation with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL Warning
message illuminated could cause the fluid to boil over, come into contact with the
hot engine or exhaust components causing a fire that may result in personal
injury.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating bytaking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Using a screwdriver or similar tool, press and hold the override tab through theaccess port on the center console.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the override cover.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
• The manufacturer requires towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFFthe ground
using a flatbed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle using any other method could result in extensive damage to
the transfer case and/or transmission.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE.
Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL
for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize
overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain
damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
