STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE – TROUBLESHOOTING
STARTING AND STOPPING THEENGINE – WARNING LAMPS
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
If it illuminates when the engine isrunning, the on-board diagnosticssystem is detecting a malfunctionof the vehicle emission control system.
If it flashes, engine misfire could beoccurring. Increased exhaust gastemperatures could damage the catalyticconverter or other vehicle components.Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration,and have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Powertrain Warning Lamp
If it illuminates when the engine isrunning, this indicates a powertrainor four-wheel drive fault. If itflashes when you are driving, immediatelyreduce the vehicle speed. Avoid heavyacceleration and deceleration, and have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.
If both lamps illuminate when the engine isrunning, stop your vehicle as soon as it issafe to do so. Continuing to drive yourvehicle could cause reduced power or theengine to stop. Switch the ignition off andattempt to restart the engine. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note:A tone could sound when you selectpark (P).
REVERSE (R)
WARNING: Shift into reverse (R) onlywhen your vehicle is stationary.
In reverse (R) power is transmitted to thedriven wheels.
NEUTRAL (N)
WARNING: In neutral (N) your vehicleis free to roll.
In neutral (N) power is not transmitted to thedriven wheels.
DRIVE (D)
In drive (D) power is transmitted to the drivenwheels.
SPORT (S)
Putting the vehicle in sport (S):
•Provides additional engine braking andextends lower gear operation to enhanceperformance for uphill climbs, hilly terrainor mountainous areas. This increasesengine RPM during engine braking.
•Provides additional lower gear operationthrough the automatic transmission shiftstrategy.
•Provides gear selection more quickly andat higher engine speeds.
Note:You can shift into sport at any vehiclespeed.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WHAT IS MANUAL PARK RELEASE
Manual park release allows you to move yourtransmission out of the park (P) position inthe event of an electrical malfunction oremergency.
MANUAL PARK RELEASEPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: When doing thisprocedure, you need to take thetransmission out of park (P) which meansyour vehicle can roll freely. To avoidunwanted vehicle movement, always fullyapply the parking brake prior to doing thisprocedure. Use wheels chocks ifappropriate.
WARNING: If the parking brake isfully released, but the brake warning lampremains illuminated, the brakes may notbe working properly. Have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible.
WARNING: Do not drive your vehicleuntil you verify that the stoplamps areworking.
USING MANUAL PARK RELEASE
Activating the Manual Park ReleaseCable
1.Apply the parking brake. See ElectricParking Brake (page 223).
Note:If vehicle battery has run out of charge,use an external power source to apply theparking brake.
2.Remove the access cover. The cover islocated under the dash below thesteering wheel. Do not pull the tether.

HOW DOES ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
WORK
All-wheel drive uses all four wheels to powerthe vehicle. This increases traction, enablingyou to drive over terrain and road conditionsthat a conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot. The AWD system turns on whenneeded and does not require input from you.
There is further information on driving inunique driving conditions. See Driving Hints(page 310).
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not becomeoverconfident in the ability of all-wheeldrive vehicles. Although an all-wheel drivevehicle may accelerate better than atwo-wheel drive vehicle in low tractionsituations, it won't stop any faster thantwo-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive ata safe speed.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE LIMITATIONS
Using different size tires other than theprovided spare could cause system damageor disable the all-wheel drive system.

The brake indicator momentarilyilluminates when you switch theignition on to confirm the lamp isfunctional. It may also illuminate when youapply the parking brake and the ignition ison. If it illuminates when your vehicle ismoving, make sure the parking brake isdisengaged. If the parking brake isdisengaged, this indicates low brake fluidlevel or a brake system fault. See anauthorized dealer.
BRAKES – INFORMATION MESSAGES
The brake fluid levelis low and the brakesystem should beinspected immedi-ately. See Checkingthe Brake Fluid(page 220).

BRAKES – FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS
Is brake dust on the wheels normal?
Brake dust could accumulate on thewheels, even under normal drivingconditions. Some dust is inevitable asthe brakes wear and does not contributeto brake noise. See Cleaning Wheels(page 364).
Will wet driving conditions effect mybraking abilities?
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedala few times when driving from a carwash or standing water to dry thebrakes.
Is brake noise considered normal?
Occasional brake noise is normal. If ametal-to-metal, continuous grinding orcontinuous squeal sound is present, thebrake linings may be worn-out and anauthorized dealer should check them.If the vehicle has continuous vibrationor shudder in the steering wheel whilebraking, an authorized dealer shouldcheck your vehicle.
When should you replace the brake fluid?
Brake fluid absorbs water over timewhich degrades the effectiveness of thebrake fluid. Change the brake fluid atthe specified intervals to preventdegraded braking performance. SeeNormal Scheduled Maintenance (page467).

HOW DOES TRACTION CONTROL
WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheels and,when needed, reduces power at the sametime. If the wheels spin when acceleratingon slippery or loose surfaces, the systemreduces power in order to increase traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION CONTROL
ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
When you switch the system off or on, amessage appears in the information displayshowing system status.
You can switch the system off with thetraction control switch.
Using a Switch
Use the traction control switch on theinstrument panel to switch the system off oron.

HOW DOES STABILITY CONTROL
WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modificationsinvolving braking system, aftermarket roofracks, suspension, steering system, tireconstruction and wheel and tire size maychange the handling characteristics of yourvehicle and may adversely affect theperformance of the electronic stabilitycontrol system. In addition, installing anystereo loudspeakers may interfere withand adversely affect the electronic stabilitycontrol system. Install any aftermarketstereo loudspeaker as far as possible fromthe front center console, the tunnel, andthe front seats in order to minimize the riskof interfering with the electronic stabilitycontrol sensors. Reducing theeffectiveness of the electronic stabilitycontrol system could lead to an increasedrisk of loss of vehicle control, vehiclerollover, personal injury and death.
WARNING: Remember that evenadvanced technology cannot defy the lawsof physics. It's always possible to losecontrol of a vehicle due to inappropriatedriver input for the conditions. Aggressivedriving on any road condition can causeyou to lose control of your vehicleincreasing the risk of personal injury orproperty damage. Activation of theelectronic stability control system is anindication that at least some of the tireshave exceeded their ability to grip theroad; this could reduce the operator'sability to control the vehicle potentiallyresulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehiclerollover, personal injury and death. If yourelectronic stability control system activates,SLOW DOWN.
If a driving condition activates either thestability control or the traction control systemyou may experience the following conditions:
•The stability and traction control lightflashes.
•Your vehicle slows down.
•Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has severalfeatures built into it to help you maintaincontrol of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances yourvehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateralslides by applying brakes to one or more ofthe wheels individually and, if necessary,reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances your vehicle’sability to prevent rollovers by detecting yourvehicle’s roll motion and the rate at which itchanges by applying the brakes to one ormore wheels individually.
