REMOTE START • Press the REMOTE START button x
2
on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
Pressing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and
turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the
ignition key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
THEFT ALARM To Arm: • Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or
the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be
open or closed), and close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
• The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in
any manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• During the 16-second arming period, if a door is opened or the ignition is cycled
to ON/RUN, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver
door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.GETTING STARTED

WARNING!• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean
against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS • Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK
(1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-
tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

HEATED SEATS Front Heated Seats • The controls for front heated seats are
located 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 sec-
ond 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.
WARNING!• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

POWER INVERTER • A 115 Volt, 150 Watt AC power in-
verter is located on the front of the
center console.
• This outlet can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• The power inverter switch is located on
the instrument panel below the cli-
mate controls. To turn on the power
outlet, press the switch once. The in-
dicator light will illuminate. Press the
switch a second time to turn the power
inverter outlet off.
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 inverter 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
devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.

POWER OUTLETS
• There are three possible 12–Volt Power Outlets in this vehicle.
• The front power outlet, located in the lower portion of the instrument panel, is
powered when the key is in the ON or ACC position.
• A second power outlet is located inside the center console bin and is powered
directly from the vehicle battery.
• On vehicles equipped with a rear subwoofer, there is a power outlet located in
the right rear cargo area.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.ELECTRONICS

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC® • The transfer case provides four mode
positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high range),
N (Neutral), and 4L (Four-wheel drive low
range).
• The transfer case is intended to be
driven in the 2H position for normal
street and highway conditions such as
hard-surfaced roads.
• Shifting between 2H and 4H
• Shifting between 2H and 4H can be
made with the vehicle stopped or in
motion. Shift the transfer case lever
firmly to 4H at any speed up to
50 mph (80 km/h).
• Shifting between 4H and 4L (Automatic Transmission)
•
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then shift the
transfer case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL).
Once the shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into DRIVE.
• Shifting between 4H and 4L (Manual Transmission)
• Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transfer case
lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, release the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start
regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.
