Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light will go off. The switch will turn
off automatically 30 minutes af ter activa-
tion, once this happens the switch will need
to be pressed again to restart the cycle.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the following systems that are
activated using the Settings menu in the
vehicle information display:
• Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
When the warning systems switch is
turned off, the indicator
O1on the switch is
off. The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using
the settings menu. The BSW system will turn on the side indi-
cator lights, located by the outside mirrors,
if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is acti-
vated in the direction of the detected ve-
hicle, a chime sounds twice and the side
indicator light will flash.
The LDW system will sound a warning; the
steering wheel will vibrate; and the LDW
indicator (orange) will blink to alert the
driver of the vehicle is traveling close to
either the lef t or the right of a traveling lane
with detectable lane markers.
For additional information, see “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” (P. 5-31) and “Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW)” (P. 5-26).

WARNING SYSTEMS SWITCH
2-58Instruments and controls

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
come on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. For addi-
tional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” (P. 5-117).
WARNING
• Never rely solely on the hill descent
control system to control vehicle
speed when driving on steep down-
hill grades. Always drive carefully
when using the hill descent control
system and decelerate the vehicle
speed by depressing the brake pedal
if necessary. Be especially careful
when driving on frozen, muddy or ex-
tremely steep downhill roads. Failure
to control vehicle speed may result in
a loss of control of the vehicle and
possible serious injury or death.

so equipped)
Instruments and controls2-59

•The hill descent control may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed. Failure to do
so may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
When the hill descent control system
operates continuously for a long time,
the temperature of the brake pads may
increase and the hill descent control
system may be temporarily disabled
(the indicator light will blink). If the indi-
cator light does not come on continu-
ously af ter blinking, stop using the
system.
The hill descent control system is designed
to reduce driver workload when going
down steep hills. The hill descent control
system helps to control vehicle speed so
the driver can concentrate on steering the
vehicle. To activate the hill descent control system:
• activate the 4H or 4LO switch,
• the transmission shif t lever must be in
forward or reverse gear,
• the hill descent control system switch must be ON.
The vehicle speed must be kept below 15
mph (25 km/h).
The hill descent control indicator light will
come on when the system is activated.
Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate while the
hill descent control system applies the
brakes to control vehicle speed.
You may hear a noise from under the hood
or feel a vibration from the actuator when it
is operating. This is normal and indicates
the hill descent control system is working
properly.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is de-
pressed while the hill descent control sys-
tem is on, the system will stop operating
temporarily. As soon as the accelerator or
brake pedal is released, the hill descent
control system begins to function again if
the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled. The hill descent control indicator light
blinks if the switch is on and all conditions
for system activation are not met or if the
system becomes disengaged for any
reason.
To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the switch to the OFF position.
For additional information, see “Hill descent
control system ON indicator light” (P. 2-20)
and “Hill descent control system” (P. 5-119).

The E-Lock system can help provide added
traction if the vehicle is stuck or becoming
stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:
• the 4WD switch must be in the 4LO posi-tion (4-wheel drive vehicles),
• the vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4 mph (7 km/h) or less, and
• the E-Lock system switch must be turned ON. When the E-Lock system switch is turned
ON, the indicator light will flash until the
system engages. However, if all operation
conditions listed above are not met or the
system becomes disengaged, the indica-
tor light will continue to flash.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) system
is disabled and the ABS light illuminates
when the E-Lock system is on.
For additional information, see “Electronic
locking rear differential (E-Lock) system”
(P. 5-111) for further explanation and system
limitations.WARNING
• Never leave the E-Lock system ON
when driving on paved or hard-
surfaced roads. Turning the vehicle
may result in the rear wheels slipping
and result in an accident and per-
sonal injury. Af ter using the E-Lock
system to free the vehicle, turn the
system OFF. •
Use the E-lock system only in an
emergency when it is not possible to
free a stuck vehicle even using 4LO.
Never use the E-Lock system on a
slippery road surface such as snow
or ice surface. Using the E-Lock sys-
tem when driving in these road con-
ditions may cause unexpected
movement of the vehicle during en-
gine braking, accelerating or turning,
which may result in an accident and
serious personal injury.
• Observe the above warnings. Other-
wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an ac-
cident and serious personal injury.
CAUTION
• Af ter using the E-Lock system, or
during normal driving, turn the
switch OFF to prevent possible dam-
age to drivetrain components from
extended use.
• When the E-Lock system is in opera-
tion, turning the vehicle becomes dif-
ficult. This can be dangerous, espe-
cially at high speeds. Doing so could
damage drivetrain components.

•Do not operate the E-Lock system
when the vehicle is turning or when
one side wheel is rotating. Otherwise,
the drivetrain components could be
damaged.
• The E-Lock system operates only
when the engine is running.
• In 4H mode, the E-Lock system does
not operate when the E-Lock system
switch is turned to the ON position.
(The E-Lock system indicator light
will flash.)
• Avoid quick starts while the E-Lock
system is in operation. Otherwise the
drivetrain components could be
damaged.
• Observe the above cautions. Other-
wise, loss of normal steering may
result. To use the outlets for devices that require
up to 120v power, the vehicle must be run-
ning and the power inverter switch must
be on.
When the vehicle is in the P (Park) position,
the 400W and the 150W will automatically
illuminate. When the vehicle is out of the P
(Park) position, only 150W will illuminate.
For additional information, see “120v out-
lets” (P. 2-68) regarding using devices that
require the power inverter switch to be
activated.CAUTION
• Use power outlets with the engine
running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
• Do not attempt to use this while
driving.
• Do not use double adapters or more
than one electrical accessory, doing
so could significantly drain the bat-
tery of your vehicle.

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, see “Vehicle infor-
mation display warnings and indicators”
(P. 2-33).
When the system is enabled:
• The system is activated when a rear dooris opened and closed within 10 minutes of
the vehicle being driven. When the driver’
door is closed and the system is acti-
vated, a visual message appears in the
vehicle information display. For additional
information, see “Rear Door Alert is acti-
vated” (P. 2-35).
• If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not be
activated. A rear door must be opened
and closed and the car driven within 10
minutes for the system to activate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated and a driver exits the vehicle af ter
arriving at a destination:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P
(Park) position, a message appears in the
vehicle information display for a driver to
“Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if
desired.
• With the system enabled, when the driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert (horn
sound) will occur unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short time to
deactivate the alert.
• If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
• If the audible horn alert occurs, a mes- sage will also appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display that states, “Check Rear
Seat for All Articles”.WARNING
• If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.
• There may be times when there is an
object or passenger in the rear seat(s)
but the audible alert does not sound.
For example, this may occur if rear seat
passengers enter or exit the vehicle
during a trip.
• The system does not directly detect
objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indicat-
ing that there may be something in the
rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or pas-
sengers in the rear seat(s).
