WARNING!

(Continued)

• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex

driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).

• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that

are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill
slopes; and when towing a trailer.

• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its

own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)

• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows

you to limit the highest available
transmission gear, and can be
activated during any driving condition.
When towing a trailer, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both
performance and engine braking.

• To switch from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, tap the shift lever to the left (-) once.

The instrument cluster will display the current gear (the transmission may
downshift), and the transmission will not upshift beyond that gear. Tapping the
shift lever to the left (-) or right (+) will decrease or increase the top available gear.
To disable ERS, simply hold the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is again
displayed in the instrument cluster.

• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.

• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
