Learn the location of any low hanging items and any skid plates that may be on the vehicle. You can avoid snagging them on rocks and other obstacles if you know where they are.

VEHICLE DIMENSIONS*
VEHICLE DIMENSIONS
*if equipped. Dimensions may vary, please see your Owner's Manual for additional information.

DRIVING OFF ROAD
Off-road driving is driving your vehicle on unsurfaced roads or trails made from dirt, rocks, sand and mud. Before going off-roading, consult with your local governmental agencies to determine designated off-road trails and recreation areas. Also, be sure to understand any offroad vehicle registration requirements for the area in which you plan on driving. We recommend driving at least two vehicles while off-roading. The buddy system helps make sure that help is close at hand should a vehicle become stuck or damaged. We recommend taking supplies such as a first aid kit, supply of water, tow strap, and cell or satellite phone any time you plan an off-road excursion.

DRIVING IN SNOW AND ICE

Your vehicle could slide while driving on snowy or icy roads. Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slide until you regain control. Avoid sudden applications of power and quick changes of direction on snow and ice. Slowly and steadily apply the accelerator when starting from a full stop. Avoid sudden braking. Although a fourwheel drive vehicle may accelerate better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in snow and ice, it cannot stop any faster as braking occurs at all four wheels. Make sure you allow sufficient distance between you and other vehicles for stopping. In emergency stopping situations, apply the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal.

DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all four wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Drive through the terrain without varying vehicle speed. Apply the accelerator slowly and avoid excessive wheel slip. When driving at slow speeds in deep sand under high ambient temperatures, use Low (L) mode, or shift to a lower gear when possible. Use the vehicle's momentum to maintain forward motion in sand. Avoid coming to a stop on steep sand slopes as the vehicle may not be able to continue forward motion after it has stopped.

DRIVING OVER ROCKS AND GRAVEL
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction when you are driving in mud, even four-wheel drive vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. If your vehicle does slide, steer in the direction of the slide until you regain control of your vehicle. After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess mud stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts can cause an imbalance that could damage drive components.

DRIVING OVER ROCKS AND GRAVEL
When approaching large rocks, position the vehicle so that the tires will pass over the largest obstacle. Never attempt to straddle a rock that is large enough to strike your axles or undercarriage, or drive over a rock which is large enough to contact the door sills. If you lose traction on your uphill wheels, stop immediately and choose a more suitable route. Gravel is a constantly changing, low-grip surface. Driving at slow speeds on gravel reduces the risk of losing traction when you stop, accelerate or take a corner. Leave a generous gap between your vehicle and other vehicles to minimize the risk of damage from flying gravel. Avoid dust clouds as they reduce visibility.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Determine the depth before attempting a water crossing. You should never stop or shut a vehicle off when crossing deep water unless you ingested water into the engine air intake. Slowly proceed and avoid splashing water any more than is necessary. Failure to follow the recommended speeds can result in vehicle damage. After driving through water and as soon as it is safe to do so, check the brakes, horn, lights and steering wheel to make sure everything is still in working order.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note: Four-wheel drive is also called 4WD and 4x4.
This system has the ability to anticipate wheel slip and transfer torque to the front wheels before slip occurs. The system automatically turns on every time you switch the ignition on. A graphic is shown in the information display to advise you of the power distribution between the front and rear wheels. Four-wheel drive has operating characteristics that are somewhat different from two-wheel drive, both on and off the freeway. When driving at slow speeds under high-load conditions, use a low gear when possible. Depending on your vehicle, you can select a low gear through the gear shifter or by using the paddle shifters. Under severe operating conditions, the air conditioning may cycle on and off to prevent the engine from overheating. Drive slower in strong crosswinds as they can affect the normal steering characteristics of your vehicle. When driving your vehicle on surfaces made slippery by loose sand, water, gravel, snow or ice, proceed with care.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK*
The rear differential lock is for off-road use only and is not for use on dry pavement. The rear differential lock provides additional traction should your vehicle become stuck. You can activate and deactivate the rear differential lock on the fly within the operating speed range. The rear differential lock automatically disengages when the vehicle speed exceeds a set value and it re-engages when the vehicle speed goes below a set value. Refer to the table in the Drive Control chapter of your Owner's Manual for the speeds when the rear differential lock activates and deactivates. It also engages based on selected drive modes. The rear differential lock feature provides an indicator light in the information display when in use. While the feature is in standby mode, the light will display gray. While the feature is active, the light will become colored.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE LOCK
The four-wheel drive lock increases four-wheel drive performance by preventing the front and rear axles from disconnecting. You can activate and deactivate the four-wheel drive lock on the fly. It also engages based on certain selected drive modes. The four-wheel drive lock feature provides an indicator light in the information display when in use. While the feature is in standby mode, the light will display gray. While the feature is active, the light will become colored.

TRAIL CONTROL ™
This feature lets you focus on steering during low-speed and off-road use by controlling your vehicle's acceleration and braking. To use trail control, your speeds must be under:

  • 20 mph (32 km/h) in all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive lock.
  • 5 mph (8 km/h) in reverse (R). Press the trail control button to switch the feature on and off. The system switches off if you exceed 42 mph (68 km/h). To set and adjust speed, use the SET+ and SET— buttons on the steering wheel. You can also adjust the set speed by braking.
    Note: Pressing the brake pedal does not turn the system off. For more detailed information, please refer to your Owner's Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The tire pressure monitoring system allows you to view the tire pressure readings through the information display. When one or more of your tires are under-inflated, your vehicle turns on the low tire pressure warning light in the instrument cluster. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual for more information.

TOWING POINTS*
Your vehicle comes equipped with fixed front recovery hooks. These hooks should never have a load applied to them greater than the gross vehicle weight rating of your vehicle. When recovering your vehicle, we recommend using both front hooks.
For more information about using the Towing Points, please see the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner's Manual.

*if equipped

SECURICODE™ KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM*
The SecuriCode keypad is near the driver window and illuminates when touched. The keypad allows you to lock or unlock the doors without a key. You can operate the keypad with the factory-set, five-digit entry code found on the owner's wallet card in the glove box or by using your personal code. You must press each number within five seconds of each other.

To Create a Personal Entry Code:

  1. Enter the factory-set code.
  2. Press 1·2 on the keypad within five seconds.
  3. Enter your personal five-digit code. You must enter each number within five seconds of each other.
  4. Press 1·2 on the keypad to save personal code 1. You may have up to five personal entry codes. The factory-set code will work even if you have set a personal entry code.

To Unlock the Driver Door
Enter the factory-set, five-digit code or your personal code. The interior lamps turn on.

To Unlock All Doors
Enter the factory-set code or your personal code, then press 3·4 within five seconds.

To Lock All Doors
Press and hold 7·8 and 9·0 at the same time (with the driver door closed). You do not need to enter the keypad code first.
See the Doors and Locks chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information on how to use SecuriCode.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES

FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has a 15.7 gal (59.9 L) fuel tank capacity. We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe-duty usage, such as trailer towing. Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol and a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system.

REFUELING
When fueling your vehicle:

  1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
  2. Press the lower rear corner of the fuel door to open.
  1. Insert the fuel pump nozzle into the fuel system up to the first notch, and leave the nozzle inserted and resting on the cover of the fuel tank filler pipe opening.
  2. Make sure you keep the fuel pump nozzle in a level position when refueling or it may impact the flow of the fuel. Improper positioning can also cause the fuel pump to shut off before the fuel tank is full.
  3. When you finish refueling, slowly raise and remove the fuel pump nozzle. Fully close the fuel door.

If you are refilling your tank from a fuel container, make sure you use the fuel filler funnel included with your vehicle. Using an aftermarket funnel may not work with the capless system and could cause damage to your vehicle. For more information and for your fuel filler funnel location, please see the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner's Manual.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Towing your vehicle may be limited. Refer to the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your Owner's Manual.

LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your spare tire and tools are under the carpeted wheel cover. A dissimilar spare tire is designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual.

REAR WINDOW BUFFETING
You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower the opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.
