PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE

Refueling the Vehicle

To open the fuel door, press the center
of the rear edge of the door and it will
pop open slightly. Pull the door to open
it fully.
When closing the fuel door, press the
center of the rear edge of the door until
it is flush with the side of the vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Automatic Transmission
Operation
The automatic
transmission has
an Electronic
Range Select
mode that enables
the driver to select
the top-gear limit
desired for the
current driving conditions, such as when
driving on downhill grades. This provides
engine braking and reduces brake wear.
To use this feature, move the shift lever
to the Low (L) range position and select
a lower or higher driving gear using the
+ / – button on the side of the shift lever.
The display on the instrument panel
cluster will show the current gear
selection.
The transmission will be limited to the
gear selected and lower gears. Gears
higher than the gear selected will not be
available.
If current vehicle speed is too high or
too low for the requested gear, the shift
will not occur.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
StabiliTrak – Stability Control
®
System
StabiliTrak is an advanced computer-
controlled vehicle stability and traction
enhancement system that assists with
directional control of the vehicle in
difficult driving conditions. It turns on
automatically every time you start your
vehicle.
To limit wheelspin and help maintain
directional control, you should always
leave the system on. However, if your
vehicle becomes stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required, the system should
be turned off.
To turn off the traction
control part of the
system, press the
(Traction Control)
button located on the
center console in
front of the shift lever.
When the system is turned off, the
Traction Control light will illuminate.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

Trailer Towing

The Tow/Haul mode
(if equipped) assists
when pulling a heavy
trailer by reducing the
frequency of trans-
mission shifts and
improves the control of vehicle speed.
To turn on this feature, press the
(Tow/Haul) button located on the center
console in front of the shift lever. Press it
again to turn off the feature.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
