Initial Drive Information

Transmission Range Selection Mode

Press the plus/minus buttons, located on the steering column shift lever, to select the desired range of gears for current driving conditions. See Automatic
Transmission Operation in the owner manual.
Cruise control can be used while the vehicle is in Range Selection Mode.

Four-Wheel Drive

If the vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send the engine’s driving power to all four wheels for extra traction. Read the following before using four-wheel drive.
The Range Selection Mode switch is located on the shift lever. To enable the Range Selection feature, move the column shift lever to the M (Manual) position. The current range will appear next to the M. This is the highest attainable range with all lower gears accessible. As an example, when 3 (Third) gear is selected, 1 (First) through 3 (Third) gears are available.

Automatic Transfer Case

4 m (Four-Wheel Drive High): Use the four-wheel high
position when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads or in most off-road situations.

4 n (Four-Wheel Drive Low) : This setting delivers

extra torque. You might choose Four-Wheel Drive Low if you are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud, deep snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills.
N (Neutral) : Shift the vehicle’s transfer case to N (Neutral) only when towing the vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing or Towing Your Vehicle in the index of the Owner Manual.
See Four-Wheel Drive on page 3¬9.
The transfer case knob is located to the left of the instrument panel cluster. You can choose among five driving settings:

2 m (Two-Wheel Drive High): This setting is used for

driving in most street and highway situations.
AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive) : This setting is ideal for use when road surface traction conditions are variable.

Hybrid Features

Hybrid Safety Information

This vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery and a high-voltage hybrid battery. Only a trained service technician with the proper knowledge and tools should inspect, test, or replace the hybrid battery. See your dealer/retailer if the hybrid battery needs service.
The 12-volt battery cables, in the engine compartment, are clearly labeled. In emergency situations, first responders can cut those cables to disable the high-voltage hybrid battery system.
