HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that
the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior
to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be
adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of
a collision.
Front Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button located on the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go then push the adjustment
button and the release button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint
up. To reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes and
push downward. Then adjust it to the appropriate height.
WARNING!
• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could causeserious injury or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow
removed head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat.
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the incorrect position in an
attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of the head.
Rear Head Restraints—2DoorM odel
The rear seat head restraints are not adjustable. They can be removed to make it
easier to take out the rear seat. To remove the head restraint, push the button on each
of the two head restraint guides and pull upward on the head restraint. Replace the
head restraint before driving the vehicle with passengers in the rear seat. To replace
the head restraint, insert the head restraint rods into the guides and push downward
on the head restraint until locked.

• Do not drive the vehicle without the rear seat head restraints installed whilepassengers are occupying the rear seat. In a collision, people riding in this area
without the head restraints installed are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause
serious injury or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow
removed head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat.
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the incorrect position in an
attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of the head.
Rear Head Restraints—4DoorM odel
The rear seat is equipped with nonadjustable head restraints.
FRONT SEATS
Front Seat Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward or rearward by using a bar located by the front of the
seat cushion, near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar located under
the seat cushion and move the seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once you
have reached the desired position. Then, using body pressure, move forward and
rearward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have latched.

matic returning of the seat to its sitting
position.

• Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the next detent position tobrighten the odometer and radio controls when the parking lights or headlights are
on.
• Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the last detent to turn on the interior lighting.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will turn on the high beams headlights until the lever is
released.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch the headlights to high beam.
Pull the lever toward you, to switch the headlights back to low beam.
Front Fog Lights
The front fog light switch is located on the multifunction lever. To activate the front
fog lights, turn on the parking or low beam headlights and pull out the end of the
lever.
NOTE:
The fog lights will only operate with the parking lights or the headlights on low beam.
Selecting high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
Turn Signals
Move 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, checkfor 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.
• A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on for more than 1 mile (2 km).
Lane Change Assist
Tap 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.

WIPER/WASHER LEVER
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent set-
tings for low-speed wiper operation. Ro-
tate the end of the lever upward to the
third detent past the intermittent settings
for high-speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to
the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the
wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with
a variable pause between cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent position for one of five intermittent settings. The delay cycle can be set
anywhere between 1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the
lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate
for two or three wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers will operate for two or three
wipe cycles and then turn off.

Recreational Towing — Four-Wheel Drive Models
NOTE:
The transfer case must be shifted intoNEUTRAL (N),automatic transmission must be
shifted into PARK,and manual transmission must be placed in gear (NOT in
NEUTRAL) for recreational towing.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Towing with only one set of wheels on the ground (front or rear) will cause severe transmission and/or transfer case
damage. Tow with all four wheels either ON the ground, or OFF the ground
(using a vehicle trailer).
• Tow only in the forward direction. Towing this vehicle backwards can cause
severe damage to the transfer case.
• Automatic transmissions must be placed in PARK for recreational towing.
• Manual transmissions must be placed in gear (not in Neutral) for recreational
towing.
• Before recreational towing, perform the procedure outlined under “Shifting
Into NEUTRAL (N)” to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL
(N). Otherwise, internal damage will result.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper
face bar will be damaged.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
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
drive shaft from the powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the
automatic transmission is in PARK (or manual transmission is in gear). The
parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
