WARNING!

(Continued)

• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot

maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control. A collision could be the result. Do
not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECT (ERS) OPERATION

• 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 or operating the vehicle in off-road conditions, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both performance and engine braking.

• Toggle the switch on the column shift lever down (-) or up (+) to select the

desired top gear.

• For maximum deceleration (engine braking) toggle the switch on the column

shift lever down (-). Your vehicle will automatically select the lowest safe gear
for optimal engine braking.

• To disable ERS, push and hold the column shift lever switch up (+) until “D” is

displayed in the odometer.

• 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.
