A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y ou can insert the double-sided keys into the locks with either side up. The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer .
• For vehicles equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC), the power window switches, radio, power sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off. Opening either front door will cancel this featur e.
SENTR Y KEY The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho- rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electr onics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that are pr ogrammed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.

system is not arming. In addition, if you open a door during the arming period, the system will cancel the arming process. If you wish to r earm the system after closing the door , you must repeat one of the pr eviously described arming sequences.
T amper Alert If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you disarm the system. Check the vehicle for tampering. ILLUMINA TED ENTRY SYSTEM The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the keyless entry transmitter or open the doors or liftgate.
T o unlock the doors: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.
• For vehicles equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC), refer to “Flash Lights with Remote Key Lock,” under ⬙ Personal Settings (Cus- tomer Programmable Featur es),” under “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual for details.
Sound Horn with Remote Key Lock This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are locked with the transmitter . This feature can be turned on or off.
NOTE: • The interior lights will turn off if you turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position while the panic alarm is activated. However , the exterior lights and horn will remain on.
4. T o assemble the transmitter case, snap the two halves together . If so equipped, install and tighten the screw until snug. Make sure ther e is an even “gap” between the two halves. 5. T est the transmitter operation. General Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
If the door lock plunger is down when you shut the door , the door will lock. Therefor e, make sure the keys ar e not inside the vehicle before closing the door . W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
chime will sound if the key is in the LOCK or ACC position and a door is open, as a reminder to r emove the key . Automatic Door Locks The doors will lock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if all of the following conditions are met: 1. The Automatic Door Locks feature is enabled.
Automatic Unlock Doors on Exit The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if: 1. The Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit featur e is en- abled. 2. The transmission was in gear and the vehicle speed returned to 0 mph (0 km/h). 3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL or P ARK.
T o Engage the Child Protection Door Lock 1. Open the rear door . 2. Insert the tip of the vehicle’s ignition key or alike into the child lock control and pull it upwar d.
2. Insert the tip of the vehicle’s ignition key or alike into the child lock control and pull it downwar d. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the opposite rear door . NOTE: After disengaging the child protection door lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle, with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the win- dows while operating the power window switches. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
T o close the window part way , lift the window switch to the first detent and release it when you want the window to stop. For vehicles not equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC), the power window switches will remain active for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off.
W indow Lockout Switch The window lockout switch on the driver’s door allows you to disable the window controls on the passenger doors. When the switch is pressed, the window contr ols on the passenger doors will not illuminate and the passenger windows will be disabled.
buffeting occurs with the sunr oof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buf feting. LIFTGA TE The liftgate can be unlocked or locked by the remote keyless entry transmitter or by activating the power door lock switches located on the front doors.
NOTE: If a power malfunction occurs, you can use the emergency liftgate latch r elease to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch r elease is located behind a snap-in cover on the liftgate trim panel. W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, fr ont airbags for both the driver and front passenger and, if so equipped, side curtain airbags for the driver and passen- gers seated next to a window .
W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 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.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you will prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up and down to make sure that it is locked in position.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the Airbag Control Module (refer to information on Airbags in this section).
NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn off while re-buckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to r etract the seat belt. 4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured be- cause the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years old and under should ride buckled up in the rear seat. 2. Infants in rear -facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger fr ont airbag.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
How The Airbag System W orks • The Airbag Control Module (ACM) determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to requir e the airbags to inflate. The front airbag inflators ar e designed to provide dif ferent rates of airbag inflation from dir ec- tion provided by the ACM.
their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 - 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time that it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and fr ont passenger . The driver’s front airbag gas is vented thr ough vent holes in the sides of the airbag.
you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor . They are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly . However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately .
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
the electronic data may be used by DaimlerChrysler and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and impr ove vehicle performance.
• Brake status (service and parking brakes) • Accelerator status (including vehicle speed) • Engine control status (including engine speed) • Cruise contr ol status (if applicable) • T raction/stability control status (if applicable) Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time — babies and children, too.
one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and “convertible” child seats. • The infant carrier is only used rearwar d-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for childr en who weigh up to about 20 lbs (9 kg).
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who ar e 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 seat back, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
• The restraint must be appr opriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. • Carefully follow the instr uctions that come with the restraint. If you install the r estraint improperly , it may not work when you need it.
rear -seating positions, or if your child restraints ar e not LA TCH-compatible, install the restraints using the vehi- cle’s seat belts. Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint.

keep the belt tight, however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally , and pull it tight if necessary . Seat belts with an automatic locking retractor have a distinctive label on the seat belt webbing.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. 2. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not r equired for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
Lock Y our V ehicle Always remove the keys fr om the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended, even in your own driveway or garage. T ry to park your vehicle in a well-lit area and never invite theft by leaving articles of value exposed.
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 r eplaced after a collision.
Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Automatic T ransmission The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL or P ARK position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear . Normal Starting Normal Starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal.
W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cor d. The engine block heater cord is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on 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.
The selector lever is automatically locked while in the P (Park) position. T o move the selector lever out of the P (Park) position, the brake pedal must be firmly depressed before the shift lock will r elease. Shift the selector lever to the desired position only when the engine is idling normally and the brake pedal is applied.
For electrical system malfunctions, there is an override for the interlock system. In order to override this system the key must be in the ignition with the switch in the ACC or ON positions. Remove the rubber storage tray from the bin located to the right of the selector lever .
Gear Ranges P (Park) P (Park) supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion.
R (Reverse) For moving the vehicle rearwar d. Always stop before moving the lever to R (Reverse), except when rocking the vehicle. N (Neutral) Engine may be started in this range. CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle, or driving for any other reason with selector lever in NEUTRAL can result in trans- mission damage.
3 (Third) This range eliminates shifts into Overdrive. The trans- mission will operate normally in First, Second and Third while in this range. The “3” position should also be used when descending steep grades to prevent brake system distress.
clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmis- sion is not shifting into “Overdrive” when cold. This is considered a normal condition. Pulling the selector lever into the “3” position will show that the transmis- sion is able to shift into and out of “Overdrive.
5 Speed Automatic T ransmission Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) (or from P or R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake when moving the selector lever between these gears.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the selector lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park) move the lever all the way forward until it stops, and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
D (Drive) This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and down- shifts and best fuel economy . The transmission automatically upshifts through fifth gear . The D (Drive) position provides optimum driving characteristics under all normal operating conditions.
Delayed Shifts in Cold T emperatures During cold temperature operation, you may notice delayed upshifts depending on engine and transmission temperature as well as vehicle speed. This featur e im- proves warm up time of the engine and transmission to achieve maximum efficiency .
times. Follow the reset pr ocedure described under “T em- porary T ransmission Limp Home Mode” in this section. In Permanent Limp Home Mode, P (Park), R (Reverse), and N (Neutral) will continue to operate. Second gear will operate in the D (Drive) shifter position.
CAUTION! All wheels must have the same size and type tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be used. Unequal tire size may cause failure of the front differential and/or the transfer case.
P ARKING BRAKE The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Never use Park position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
The electronic brake for ce distribution (EBD) prevents the rear wheels fr om over-braking and pr ovides greater control of available braking for ces applied to the rear axle. When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (1 1 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to inter- ference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .

ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 243 5.
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.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
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 someone.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
SELF–SEALING TIRES — IF EQUIPPED A non-hardening viscous sealant applied to the inner liner of each tire fills punctur es up to 0.19 in. (5 mm) to minimize the loss of air pressur e. This contributes to the safety of the vehicle by significantly reducing the pr ob- ability of a roadside stop due to a flat tir e.
NOTE: In order to avoid damage to tir es, chains, and your vehicle do not drive for a prolonged period of time on dry pavement. Observe the tire chain manufactur er’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage.
