W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an collision, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. CAUTION! An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all of the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Automatic Door Locks — If Equipped The auto door lock feature default condition is enabled. When enabled, the door locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h). The auto door lock feature can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer .
• For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following procedure: 1. Close all doors and place the key in the ignition. 2. Cycle the ignition switch between LOCK and ON/ RUN and then back to LOCK four times, ending up in the LOCK position.
The Child-Pr otection Door Locks ar e located inside the rear edge of the door . Insert the tip of the ignition key or similar flat-bladed object into the lock and rotate clock- wise approximately one-quarter turn to the lock position or counter clockwise to the unlock position (as indicated by the stamped icons).
There is a single window control on the front and rear passenger ’s door trim panel, which operates the front and rear passenger door windows. The window controls will operate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN or ACC position, and when the accessory delay feature is active.
T o cancel the Auto-Down movement, operate the switch either in the up or down direction and release the switch. For vehicles not equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC), the power window switches will remain active for 45 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position.
• Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger the auto reverse function unexpectedly during auto- closure. If this happens, pull the switch lightly to the first detent and hold to close window manually . W ARNING! When the window is almost closed, there is no anti-pinch protection.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
W ith the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, the word “dECK ” will display in place of the odometer display indicating that the trunk is open.
T runk Internal Emergency Release As a security measur e, a T runk Internal Emer gency Release lever is built into the trunk latching mechanism. In the event of an individual being locked inside the trunk, the trunk can be simply opened by pulling on the glow-in-the- dark handle attached to the trunk latching mechanism.
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants • Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners that may enhance occupant protection by managing occupant energy during an impact event • All seat .
W ARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Ad- vanced Front Air Bag. An air bag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
W ARNING! • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T wo people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly . Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you prop- erly .
W ARNING! • A belt that is worn under your arm is dangerous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdo- men. Always wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as possible and keep it snug.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average, you will prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
Automatic Locking Retractor Mode (ALR) — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking Mode is available on all passenger-seating positions with a combination lap/ shoulder belt.
Energy Management Feature This vehicle has a safety belt system with an Energy Management featur e in the front seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to r elease webbing in a contr olled manner .
How The Active Head Restraints (AHR) W ork The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines whether the severity , or type of rear impact will require the Active Head Restraints (AHR) to deploy . If a rear impact requires deployment, both the driver and front passenger seat AHRs will be deployed.
CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.

4. The AHR front soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or problems resetting the Active Head Restraints, see an authorized dealer . • For safety reasons, have the Active Head Restraints checked by a qualified specialist at an authorized dealer .
The BeltAlert® warning sequence begins after the vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h), by blinking the Seat Belt Reminder Light and sounding an intermittent chime. Once the sequence starts, it will continue for the entire duration or until the respective seatbelts are fastened.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
NOTE: The Driver and Passenger Advanced Fr ont Air Bags are certified to new Federal regulations. The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different rates of inflation that are based on several factors, including the severity and type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with SABIC, they are located above the side windows. The trim covering the side air bags is labeled SRS AIRBAG.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) • Front and Side Impact Sensors • Front Seat Belt Pretensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch, and Seat T rack Position Sensors Advanced Front Air Bag Features The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage driver and front passenger air bags.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is marked with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the front seats.
NOTE: • Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during air bag deployment. • Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air bags during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Y our vehicle is equipped with SABIC air bags, do not have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require perma- nent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors And Controls Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system requir ed for this vehicle. The ORC determines if deployment of the front and/or side air bags in a frontal or side collision is required.
The ORC monitors the r eadiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON/RUN position. If the key is in the OFF position, in the ACC position, or not in the ignition, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
Driver And Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag Inflator Units The Driver and Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and on the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the Ad- vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the inflator units.
in about 10 milliseconds. The side air bag moves at a very high speed and with such a high force that it could injure you if you are not seated properly , or if items are positioned in the ar ea wher e the side air bag inflates. This especially applies to children.
Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event the ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions: • Cut off fuel to the engine.
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the non-toxic gas used for air bag inflation.
Maintaining Y our Air Bag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you.
Air Bag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the air bags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air Bag W arning Light monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: • How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger safe.
There are differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner ’s Manual to make sure you have the correct seat for your child.
Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In V ehicles Child Size, Height, W eight or Age Recommended T ype of Child Restraint Infants and T oddlers Children who are two years old or younger.
Infants And Child Restraints Safety experts r ecommend that childr en ride r earward- facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing child safety seat. T wo types of child restraints can be used rearwar d-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
Older Children And Child Restraints Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing convertible child seat can ride forward- facing in the vehicle.
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear seat.
Recommendations For Attaching Child Restraints Restraint T ype Combined W eight of the Child + Child Restraint Use any attachment method shown with an “X” Below LA TCH – Lower Anchors Only Seat Belt Only LA TCH – Lower Anchors + T op T ether Anchor Seat Belt + T op T ether Anchor Rear-Facing Child Restraint Up to 65 lbs (29.
Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH) Restraint System Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor - age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildr en. The LA TCH system has three vehicle anchor points for installing LA TCH- equipped child seats.
LA TCH Positions For Installing Child Restraints In This V ehicle Lower Anchorage Symbol 2 anchorages per seating position T op T ether Anchorage Symbol 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE .
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LA TCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.
Can the rear -facing child restraint touch the back of the front passenger seat? Y es The child seat may touch the back of the front passenger seat if the child restraint manufacturer also allows contact. See your child restraint owner ’s manual for more information.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window . These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover with the tether anchorage symbol on it.
W ARNING! Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than one child restraint. If you are installing LA TCH- compatible child restraints next to each other , you must use the seat belt for the center position. Y ou can then use either the LA TCH anchors or the vehicle’ s seat belt for installing child seats in the outboard positions.
4. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the selected seat- ing position. 5. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the T op T ether Anchorage” for direc- tions to attach a tether anchor .
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of the re- straint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the child restraint manufacturer ’ s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the T ether Anchor with the seat belt to attach a forward facing child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
Installing A Child Restraint with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) 1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. Refer to “Lower Anchors and T ethers for Chil- dren (LA TCH) Restraint System” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. Refer to “Lower Anchors and T ethers for Chil- dren (LA TCH) Restraint System” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
Installing Child Restraints Using The T op T ether Anchorage 1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find the tether anchorage. Y ou may need to move the seat forward to provide better access to the tether anchorage.
4. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as shown in the diagram. 5. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer ’s instructions. T ransporting Pets Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
CAUTION! Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result. NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty .
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
Floor Mat Safety Information Always use floor mats designed to fit the footwell of your vehicle. Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.

The Manual T emperature Controls consist of a series of outer rotary dials and inner push knobs. Blower Control Rotate this control to r egulate the amount of air forced through the ven- tilation system in any mode. The blower speed increases as you move the contr ol to the right fr om the “O” (OFF) position.
Mode Control (Air Direction) Rotate this control to choose fr om sev- eral patterns of air distribution. Y ou can select either a primary mode as identified by the symbols on the con- trol, or a blend of two of these modes. The closer the setting is to a particular symbol, the more air distribution you receive from that mode.
• Mix Air is directed thr ough the floor , defr ost, and side window demist outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy conditions that r equire extra heat to the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.
• The A/C will engage automatically to prevent fogging when the recirculation button is pressed and the mode control is set to panel or Bi-Level. • Recirculated air is not allowed in Defrost modes. If the Recirculation button is pressed while in Defr ost mode, the LED indicator will flash several times then go out.
• ECONOMY MODE If economy mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn OFF the indicator light and the A/C compressor . Then, move the temperature control to the desired temperature.
Y ou will experience the greatest effi- ciency by simply allowing the system to function automatically . Selecting the “O” (OFF) position on the blower con- trol stops the system completely and closes the outside air intake. 72°F (22°C) is the recommended setting for maximum comfort for the average person; however , this may vary .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Extreme Cold Weather (Below –20°F Or −29°C) T o ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail- able from your authorized dealer) is recommended.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine is flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released.
After Starting The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wir e extension cord.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, turn the engine OFF , and remove the ignition key .
Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requir es the shift lever to be placed in P ARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the LOCK/ OFF position.
Gear Ranges DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range. NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to shift out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
CAUTION! • Before moving the shift lever out of P ARK, you must turn the ignition switch from the OFF posi- tion to the ON/RUN position, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever could result. • DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions.
If the transmission temperatur e exceeds normal operat- ing limits, the powertrain controller will modify the DRIVE and “3” range shift points. This is done to pr event transmission damage due to overheating.
T ransmission Limp Home Mode T ransmission function is monitored electronically for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, T ransmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission r emains in thir d gear r egardless of which forward gear is selected.
Overdrive Operation The automatic transmission includes an electronically controlled Over drive (fourth gear). The transmission will automatically shift into Over drive if the following con- ditions a.
Six-Speed Automatic T ransmission (62TE) — If Equipped The shift lever position display (located in the instr ument cluster) indicates the transmission gear range. Y ou must press the brake pedal to move the shift lever out of P ARK (refer to “Brake/T ransmission Shift Interlock System” in this section).
Drive position) will manually select the transmission gear , and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Gear Ranges DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range. NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK. As an added precau- tion, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
W ARNING! (Continued) • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the igni- tion key from the ignition and lock your vehicle. Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
• Look at the shift lever position display and verify that it indicates the P ARK position. • W ith brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever will not move out of P ARK. REVERSE This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
DRIVE This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and down- shifts, and the best fuel economy . The transmission automatically upshifts through underdrive first, second, third, and fourth gears, direct fifth gear and overdrive sixth gear .
P ARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to oper- ate. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be illu- minated. Limp Home Mode allows the vehicle to be driven to an authorized dealer for service without dam- aging the transmission.
• the engine coolant has reached an adequate temperature, • vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and • the driver is not heavily pressing the accelerator . T orque Converter Clutch A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been included in the automatic transmission on your vehicle.
Operation When the shift lever is in the AutoStick® position (below the DRIVE position), it can be moved from side to side. This allows the driver to manually select the transmission gear being used. Moving the shift lever to the left (-) triggers a downshift and to the right (+) an upshift.
• If the system detects a problem, it will disable AutoStick® mode and the transmission will return to automatic mode until the problem is corrected. T o disengage AutoStick® mode, return the shift lever to the DRIVE position. Y ou can shift in or out of the AutoStick® position at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is hydr oplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precautions should be observed: 1.
Shallow Standing W ater Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water , consider the following Caution and W arning before doing so.
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stopping distances.
• Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steer- ing pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be consider ed normal, and it does not in any way damage the steering system.
The parking brake lever is located in the center console. T o apply the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible. T o release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly , press the center button, then lower the lever completely .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever .
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system operates with a separate computer to modulate the hydraulic pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up and avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
The “Anti-Lock Brake W arning Light” moni- tors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
Y ou also may experience the following when the brake system goes into anti-lock: • The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the stop), • the clicking sound of solenoid valves, • brake pedal pulsations, • and a slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
ESC Operating Modes All ESC equipped vehicles can choose the following ESC operating modes: ESC On This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started the ESC system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for almost all driving situa- tions.
T o turn ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC Off” switch. This will restor e the normal “ESC On” mode of operation. W ARNING! When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality of ESC (except for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section) has been disabled and the “ESC Of f Indicator Light” will be illuminated.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” (lo- cated in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon as the tir es lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” also flashes when TCS is active.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
• T emporary spare tires are spares designed for tempo- rary emergency use only . T emporary high pressure compact spare tires have the letter “T” or “S” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.
EXAMPLE: 65 = Aspect ratio in percent (%) — Ratio of section height to section width of tire 10.5 = Section width in inches (in) R = Construction code — ⬙ R ⬙ means radial construction — ⬙.
EXAMPLE: H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions — The maximum speed corresponding to the speed symbol should only be achieved under specified operating conditions (i.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ir es with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 0301 01 = Number representing the year in which the tire was manufactured (two digits) — 01 means the year 2001 — Prior to July 2000, tire manufacturers were only requir ed to have one number to repr esent the year in which the tire was manufactured.
T erm Definition Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire inflation pressur e for this tire. The maximum inflation pressur e is molded into the sidewall. Recommended Cold T ire Inflation Pressure V ehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tire inflation pressur e as shown on the tire placard.

3) tire size designed for your vehicle 4) cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear , and spare tires. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
346 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
.
At least once a month: • Check and adjust tire pressure with a good quality pocket-type pressure gauge. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. T ires may look properly inflated even when they ar e under- inflated. • Inspect tires for signs of tire wear or visible damage.
T ire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds and within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressur e is very important.
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs and additional information. Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced imme- diately with another Run Flat tire of identical size and service description (Load Index and Speed Code).
If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
T , S = T emporary Spare T ir e Since this tire has limited tr ead life the original equip- ment tire should be repair ed (or replaced) and r einstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity .
Limited-Use Spare – If Equipped The limited-use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only . This tire is identified by a label located on the limited-use spare wheel. This label contains the driving limitations for this spare. This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire should be replaced. Refer to replacement tires in this section for further information.
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tire inflation pressur e. The manu- facturer strongly recommends that you use tires equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates. These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ir e Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pressur e. The tire pr essure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressur e of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tir e pressur e is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decr ease the tire pressur e to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The “T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster , a ⬙ LOW TIRE ⬙ message will be displayed for a minimum of five seconds and a chime will sound when tire pressur e is low in one or more of the four active r oad tires.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle. 5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. NOTE: 1. The compact spare tire (if equipped) does not have a tire pressur e monitoring sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tire.
Premium System – If Equipped The T ir e Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressur e readings to the Receiver Module.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate all tires with low pressure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure value.
The EVIC will also display a ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message for a minimum of five seconds when a system fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is detected. In this case, the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ mes- sage is then followed with a graphic display with pres- sure values still shown.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, the “T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC will display a ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message for a minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressur e value.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS This engine is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded “regular” gasoline having an octane rating of 87. The use of premium gasoline is not recommended, as it will not provide any benefit over regular gasoline in these engines.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as Ethanol. Fuels blended with oxygenates may be used in your vehicle. CAUTION! DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gaso- line containing more than 10% Ethanol.
T o fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fueled once with E-85 perform the following: • drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer) • change the engine oil and oil filter • disconnect and reconnect the battery to reset the engine controller memory More extensive repairs will be required for prolonged exposure to E-85 fuel.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
subjects that are unique to these vehicles. Please refer to the other sections of this manual for information on features that are common between Flexible Fuel and gasoline-only powered vehicles. CAUTION! Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler door label can operate on E-85.
Ethanol Fuel (E-85) E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury . Never have any smok- ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when remov- ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the tank.
• Some additives used in regular gasoline are not fully compatible with E-85 and may form deposits in your engine. T o eliminate driveability issues that may be caused by these deposits, a supplemental gasoline additive, such as MOP AR® Injector Cleanup or T echr on may be used.
Replacement Parts Many components in your Flexible Fuel V ehicle (FFV) ar e designed to be compatible with ethanol. Always be sure that your vehicle is serviced with corr ect ethanol com- patible parts. CAUTION! Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle.
After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door . This keeps the gas cap suspended away from and protects the vehicle’s surface. NOTE: If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and doing so may cause the MIL to turn on.
VEHICLE LOADING V ehicle Certification Label Y our vehicle has a V ehicle Certification Label affixed to the drivers side “B” Pillar or the rear of the driver ’s door .
Overloading The load carrying components (axle, springs, tir es, wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and the front and rear GA WR. The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for operation.
T o maintain warranty coverage, follow the requir ements and recommendations in this manual concerning ve- hicles used for trailer towing. Common T owing Definitions The following trailer towing r ela.
Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front and rear axles evenly . Make sure that you do not exceed either fr ont or rear GA WR. Refer to “V ehicle Loading/V ehicle Certification La- bel” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
W eight-Carrying Hitch A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds of hitches are the most popular on the market today and they are commonly used to tow small- and medium- sized trailers.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/T ransmission Max. Frontal Area Max. Gross T railer Wt. (GTW) Max. T railer T ongue Wt.
T railer And T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • When hauling cargo or towing a trailer , do not overload your vehicle or trailer . Overloading can cause a loss of control, poor performance, or dam- age to brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, suspension, chassis structure, or tires.
T owing Requirements – T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire. • Proper tire inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ir es – General Information” in “Starting and Oper- ating” for proper tire inflation procedures.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
NOTE: Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, will improve perfor- mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces- sive shifting and heat build-up.
Cooling System T o reduce potential for engine and transmission over- heating, take the following actions: City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, shift the trans- mission into NEUTRAL and increase engine idle speed. Highway Driving Reduce speed.
Recreational T owing – All Models Recreational towing is allowed ONL Y if the front wheels are OFF the ground. This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer . If using a tow dolly , follow this procedure: 1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the jack- ing position. For example, if chang- ing the right front tir e, block the left rear wheel. NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle while the vehicle is being jacked.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If working on or near a roadway , be extremely careful of motor traffic. • T o assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
NOTE: The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with two attachment points. When the jack is partially expanded, the tension between the two attachment points holds the jack handle in place. 2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
3. There is a front and rear jacking location on each side of the vehicle. The plastic trim has been cut away to expose the jacking locations on the body .
4. T urn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking location. Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack screw to the right until the jack head is properly engaged to the jacking location on the wheel to be changed. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench.
CAUTION! Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly . W ARNING! • T o avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
9. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is free. Release the emergency brake before driving the vehicle. Reassemble the lug wrench to the jack assem- bly and stow it in the spare tire area.
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or excessive force to install the cover . 4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. T ighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened twice. The correct tight- ness of each lug nut is 100 ft/lbs (135 N·m).
5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are pr operly seated against the wheel. JUMP-ST ARTING If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump- started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
W ARNING! • T ake care to avoid the radiator cooling fan when- ever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is ON. Y ou can be injured by moving fan blades. • Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch bands and bracelets that could make an inadvertent electrical contact.
3. Remove the protective cover over the remote posi- tive (+) battery post. T o remove the cover , press the locking tab and pull upward on the cover . 4. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery , park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF .
CAUTION! Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle. 1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle. 2.
7. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery . 8. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery . 9. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.
CAUTION! Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the en- gine to idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could explode and injure someone.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a towing service. T owing Condition Wheels OFF the Ground All Models Flat T ow NONE If transmission is o.
CAUTION! • Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Damage to the fascia will occur . • When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components. Dam- age to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
CAUTION! T owing faster than 25 mph (40 km/h) or farther than 15 mi (24 km) with front wheels on the ground can cause severe transmission damage. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty . Without The Ignition Key Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF position.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
.
4. Approximately 15 seconds later , one of two things will happen: • The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.
DEALER SERVICE Y our authorized dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service opera- tions in an expert manner . Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Y our vehicle has been built with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance inter- vals. Do not use chemical flushes in these compo- nents as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, power steering or air conditioning.
CAUTION! Do not overfill the engine. Overfilling the engine will cause oil aeration, which can lead to loss of oil pressure and an increase in oil temperature. This could damage your engine. Also, be sure the oil fill cap is replaced and tightened after adding oil.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the chemicals can damage your engine. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty . Engine Oil V iscosity – 2.4L Engine SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
Materials Added T o Engine Oil The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental addi- tives.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals. W ARNING! The air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc.) can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc.
T o access the battery , turn the steering wheel fully to the right and remove the inner fender shield. W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing.
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluoro- carbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
3. Disconnect the glove box door dampener from the slot on the side of the box. This is done by grasping the dampener connector (on the outside of the box) and the end of the connector pin (on the inside of the box) with your thumb and forefinger and pulling outward while lightly lifting upward on the door with your other hand.
7. Install the A/C Air Filter with the arrow on the filter pointing toward the floor . When installing the filter cover , make sure the retaining tabs fully engage the cover . CAUTION! The A/C air filter is identified with an arrow to indicate airflow direction through the filter .
Windshield Wiper Blades Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner . This will remove accumula- tions of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly maintained engine exhaust system.
CAUTION! • The catalytic converter requires the use of un- leaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emissions control device and may seriously reduce engine perfor- mance and cause serious damage to the engine.
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition, when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (befor e the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If the engine coolant (antifr eeze) is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh engine coolant (anti- freeze).
CAUTION! (Continued) coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be flushed with OA T coolant and replaced with the specified OA T engine coolant (antifreeze) as soon as possible. • Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50% OA T engine coolant that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material Stan- dard MS-12106 and distilled water . Use higher concen- trations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below −34° F (−37° C) are anticipated.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pres- sure to build up in the cooling system.
Six-Cylinder Engines – the level of the engine coolant (antifreeze) in the pr essurized coolant bottle should be between the “COLD” and “FULL” range on the bottle when the engine is cold.
• If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are requir ed, the cooling system should be pressur e tested for leaks. • Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a minimum of 50% OA T coolant (conforming to MS-12106) and distilled water for proper corrosion protection of your engine which contains aluminum components.
Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level in the master cylinder immediately if the brake system warning light indicates system failure. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder when per- forming underhood services. Clean the top of the master cylinder area before removing the cap.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T o avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container . Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for fluid speci- fications.
3. Fully apply the parking brake, and press the brake pedal. 4. Place the shift lever momentarily into each gear posi- tion (allowing time for the transmission to fully en- gage in each position), ending with the shift lever in P ARK. 5. W ipe the area around the dipstick clean to pr event dirt from entering the transmission.
T o prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make sure that the dipstick cap is properly reseated. CAUTION! • Using a transmission fluid other than.
Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion Protection Of Body And Paint From Corrosion V ehicle body care r equirements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• If insects, tar , or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use MOP AR® Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover to remove. • Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as MOP AR® Cleaner W ax to remove r oad film, stains and to protect your paint finish.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sur e that such materials are well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use MOP AR® T ouch Up Paint on scratches as soon as possible.
T o minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. T o remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution fol- lowed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the lenses.
Cleaning Interior T rim Interior T rim should be cleaned starting with a damp cloth, a damp cloth with MOP AR® T otal Clean or equiva- lent, then MOP AR® Spot & Stain Remover or equivalent if absolutely necessary . Do not use harsh cleaners or Armor All®.
