T o adjust the comfort guide: 1. Slip the shoulder belt into the belt guide. 2. Slide the guide up or down along the webbing so that the belt is centered on the occupant’ s shoulder . W ARNING: Position the safety belt comfort guide so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder .
Conditions of operation If... Then... The driver’ s safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the on position... The safety belt warning light illuminates 1-2 minutes and the warning chime sounds 4-8 seconds. The driver’ s safety belt is buckled while the indicator light is illuminated and the warning chime is sounding.
The Belt-Minder 威 feature uses two different warning chimes. During the first minute of activation, the warning chime will sound once every second. The remaining warning chimes will sound twice every second while the system is activated. If... Then.
The following are reasons most often given for not wearing safety belts (All statistics based on U.S. data): Reasons given... Consider ... “Crashes are rare events” 36700 crashes occur every day . The more we drive, the more we are exposed to “rare” events, even for good drivers.
Reasons given... Consider ... “I have an airbag” Airbags offer greater protection when used with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers. “I’d rather be thrown clear” Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40 times more likely to DIE.
The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder 威 features can be deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure: Before following the procedure, make sure that: • The parking brake is set.
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) Important SRS precautions The SRS is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries. Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly; there is a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.
W ARNING: Never place your arm over the airbag module as a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries. T o properly position yourself away from the airbag: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably .
Children and airbags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.
• one or more impact and safing sensors. • a readiness light and tone. • diagnostic module. • and the electrical wiring which connects the components. • Front passenger sensing system. Refer to Front passenger sensing system later in this chapter .
The front passenger sensing system uses a ⬙ passenger airbag off ⬙ or ⬙ pass airbag off ⬙ indicator which will illuminate and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled. The indicator lamp is located in the center stack of the instrument panel above the radio.
Occupant Pass Airbag Off Indicator Lamp Passenger Airbag Empty seat Unlit Disabled Small child in child safety seat or booster Lit Disabled Small child with safety belt buckled or unbuckled Lit Disabl.
Objects Pass Airbag Off Indicator Lamp Passenger Airbag Small (i.e. three-ring binder , small purse, bottled water) Unlit Disabled Medium (i.e. heavy briefcase, fully packed luggage) Lit Disabled Empt.
In case there is a problem with the front passenger sensing system, the airbag readiness lamp in the instrument cluster will stay lit. If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following: The driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness light will either flash or stay lit. • The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on. • A series of five beeps will be heard.
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag T echnical W orking Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.
W ARNING: If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again. The side airbag system (including the seat) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer . If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS and Safety Canopy 威 system is provided. W ARNING: T o reduce risk of injury , do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy 威 .
The Safety Canopy 威 system, in combination with safety belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision or rollover event. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the second or third row seats (if equipped).
W ARNING: If the Safety Canopy 威 system has deployed, the Safety Canopy 威 will not function again. The Safety Canopy 威 system (including the A, B and C pillar trim) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer . If the Safety Canopy 威 is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children Child size, height, weight, or age Recommended restraint type Infants or toddlers Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or younger) Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an infant carrier , convertible seat, or toddler seat).
Recommendations for attaching child safety restraints for children Restraint T ype Child W eight Use any attachment method as indicated below by “X” LA TCH (lower anchors and top tether anchor) LA.
W ARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision, which may result in serious injury or death. W ARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.
If the child is the proper height, age, and weight (as specified by your child safety seat or booster manufacturer), fits the restraint and can be restrained properly , then restrain the child in the child safety seat or with the belt-positioning booster .
Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts If needed, when installing some high back child restraints, the head restraints of the second row seating positions can be removed.
• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button, to help prevent accidental unbuckling. • Place vehicle seat back in upright position. • Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode.
3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra weight, e.g., by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt.
however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the top tether strap must also be attached to the proper top tether anchor , if a top tether strap has been provided with your child seat.
The LA TCH anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the second row seat between the cushion and seatback. The LA TCH anchors are below the locator symbols on the seat back on 6 and 7 passenger vehicles. The 5 passenger vehicle does not require the symbol, however , the anchor itself is located in the same area.
W ARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, and depending on the child restraint design, you may block access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LA TCH lower anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable.
Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor . T ether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.
Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat with tether anchors: 1. Route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts.
3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 4. T ighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’ s instructions.
Booster seats position a child so that vehicle lap/shoulder safety belts fit better . They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably at the edge of the cushion, while minimizing slouching. Booster seats may also make the shoulder belt fit better and more comfortably .
T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder .
Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
NOTICE TO UTILITY VEHICLE AND TRUCK OWNERS Utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road.
Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow you to select different drive modes as necessary . Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be found in the Driving chapter .
• Narrower — to provide greater maneuverability in tight spaces, particularly in off-road use. As a result of the above dimensional differences, SUV’ s and trucks often will have a higher center of gravity and a greater difference in center of gravity between the loaded and unloaded condition.
T readwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1 ⁄ 2 ) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
TIRES T ires are designed to give many thousands of miles of service, but they must be maintained in order to get the maximum benefit from them. Glossary of tire terminology • T ire label: A label showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation pressure and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry .
INFLATING Y OUR TIRES Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your tires are properly inflated. Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing flat. Every day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires and adjust if required.
The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or T ire Label. When weather temperature changes occur , tire inflation pressures also change. A 10°F (6°C) temperature drop can cause a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
TIRE CARE Inspecting your tires and wheel valve stems Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and remove objects such as stones, nails or glass that may be wedged in the tread grooves.
W ARNING: Age T ires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather , storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, etc.) the tires experience throughout their lives. In general, tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread wear .
W ARNING: Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size, load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric versus L T -metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford.
It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be replaced as a pair . The tire pressure sensors mounted in the wheels (originally installed on your vehicle) are not designed to be used in aftermarket wheels.
Tire and wheel alignment A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your vehicle to become misaligned or cause damage to your tires. If your vehicle seems to pull to one side when you’re driving, the wheels may be out of alignment.
Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
4. R: Indicates a “radial” type tire. 5. 15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter . 6. 95: Indicates the tire’ s load index. It is an index that relates to how much weight a tire can carry .
8. U.S. DOT T ire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
13. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: Indicates the tire manufacturers’ maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
Information on “T” type tires “T” type tires have some additional information beyond those of “P” type tires; these differences are described below: T145/80D16 is an example of a tire size. Note: The temporary tire size for your vehicle may be different from this example.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
The T ire Pressure Monitoring System complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Understanding your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) The T ire Pressure Monitoring System measures pressure in your four road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. The Low T ire Pressure W arning Lamp will turn ON if the tire pressure is significantly low .
When you believe your system is not operating properly The main function of the T ire Pressure Monitoring System is to warn you when your tires need air .

SNOW TIRES AND CABLES W ARNING: Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed rating as those originally provided by Ford. The use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer unit failure.
your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle’ s weight ratings, with or without a trailer , from the vehicle’ s T ire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label: Base Curb W eight – is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment.
Example only: Cargo W eight – includes all weight added to the Base Curb W eight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load or king pin weight is also part of cargo weight.
GA W (Gross Axle W eight) – is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) – including vehicle curb weight and all payload. GA WR (Gross Axle W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear).
• Example only: W ARNING: Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification Label vehicle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury .
GCW (Gross Combined W eight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer . GCWR (Gross Combined W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer – including all cargo and passengers – that the vehicle can handle without risking damage.
W ARNING: Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury . Steps for determining the correct load limit: 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lb.
to transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh 220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 - (2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440 - 1200 = - 240 lb.
T RAILER TOWING T railer towing with your vehicle may require the use of a trailer tow option package. T railer towing puts additional loads on your vehicle’ s engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tires, and suspension.

W ARNING: T railer sway control does not prevent a trailer from swaying, it mitigates the sway from increasing once it has occurred. If you are experiencing trailer sway it is likely that the trailer is improperly loaded for the correct tongue weight or the speed of the vehicle and trailer is too high.
• Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your authorized dealer . • Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on the reservoir , as this may result in leaks from the reservoir .
W ARNING: Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity , may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Do not overload your vehicle and use extra precautions, such as driving at slower speeds, avoiding abrupt steering changes and allowing for increased stopping distance, when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
W ARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly . See your authorized dealer . AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION Driving with a 5–speed automatic transmission (if equipped) This vehicle is equipped with an Adaptive T ransmission Control Strategy .

• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever . • W ill not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; allows for 1 (First) when vehicle reaches slower speeds. Forced downshifts • Allowed in D (Drive) only . • Press the accelerator to the floor . • Allows transmission to select an appropriate gear .
W ARNING: Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal detection zone of the reverse sensing system may create false beeps. The system will assist the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves in reverse at speeds less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
Audible W arnings Distance to Object W arning Speed above 2.5 mph (4 km/h) up to 1.6 feet (.5 meters) Solid 1.6 feet (.5 meters) to 3.1 feet (1 meter) Fast beep 3.1 feet (1 meter) to 5.7 feet (1.8 meters) Medium/fast beep 5.7 feet (1.8 meters) to 9 feet (2.
If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
4X4 HIGH (4WD High) - Provides locked four -wheel drive power to all four wheels. This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement. This mode is appropriate for severe winter and off-road conditions, such as deep snow , ice or shallow sand. 4X4 LOW (4WD Low) - Provides locked four -wheel drive power when extra power at reduced speeds is required.
Normal operation (4.0L engine vehicles only) The A WD system is always active and requires no driver input. It is capable of handling all road conditions, including street and highway driving as well as off-road conditions such as deep snow , ice or shallow sand.
Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps.
W ARNING: V ehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and four -wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity .
Emergency maneuvers • In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, remember to avoid “over -driving” your vehicle, i.e., turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency . Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control, not more.
Parking On some 4WD vehicles, when the transfer case is in the N (Neutral) position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the manual transmission is in gear .
Mud and water If you must drive through high water , drive slowly . T raction or brake capability may be limited. When driving through water , determine the depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly . If the ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall.
Driving on hilly or sloping terrain Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up or straight down. A void driving crosswise or turning on steep slopes or hills.
Driving on snow and ice A WD and 4WD vehicles have advantages over 2WD vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any other vehicle. Should you start to slide while driving on snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slide until you regain control.
Any modifications to a vehicle that raise the center of gravity can make it more likely the vehicle will roll over as a result of a loss of control. Ford Motor Company recommends that caution be used with any vehicle equipped with a high load or device (such as ladder racks or pickup box cover).

Note: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will illuminate when the spare is in use.
A dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels and can be one of three types: 1. T -type mini-spare: This spare tire begins with the letter “T” for tire size and may have “T emporary Use Only” molded in the sidewall 2.
The usage of a full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel can lead to impairment of the following: • Handling, stability and braking performance • Comfort and noise • Ground clearance and parking at .
Location of the spare tire and tools The spare tire and tools for your vehicle are stowed in the following locations: T ool Location Spare tire Under the vehicle, just in front of the rear bumper . The spare tire winch drive nut is located at the rear center of the cargo area under a lid.
Removing the spare tire Do not use an impact wrench on the winch drive nut. This will damage the spare tire winch. 1. Open the cover from the carpeting on cargo floor to expose the winch drive nut. 2. Insert the lug wrench on the winch drive nut. The wrench will stop moving and forward resistance to turning will be felt when properly engaged.
3. T urn the wrench counterclockwise until the tire is lowered to the ground and the cable has slack. When turning the wrench, make sure that it does not scuff the kick plate. 4. Slide the tire rearward, lift one side and remove the retainer from the spare tire.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. 1. Block the wheel that is diagonally opposite of the flat tire using the wheel chock provided with your vehicle. 2. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove the beauty cap by twisting the tip under the cap.
5. Position the jack according to the illustrated guides and turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is a maximum of 1 inch (25 mm) off the ground. Note: Do not use the running boards, front and rear hinge assemblies, running board motors, or the running board underbody mounts to lift the vehicle with the jack.
9. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts in the order shown. Refer to Wheel lug nut torque specifications later in this chapter for the proper lug nut torque specification. Stowing the flat/spare tire Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage instructions may result in failure of cable or loss of spare tire.
Re-stowing the jack and tools 1. Unblock the wheels. 2. Stow the wheel ornament (if removed) in a safe location in the vehicle (such as the glove box or jack stowage compartment) so it will not become damaged. Re-install the wheel ornament onto the wheel once the tire is repaired or replaced.
Note: Inspect the wheel pilot hole prior to installation. If there is visible corrosion in wheel pilot hole, remove loose particles by wiping with clean rag and apply grease. Apply grease only to the wheel pilot hole surface by smearing a “dime” (1 square cm) sized glob of grease around the wheel pilot surface (1) with end of finger .
Preparing your vehicle When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the automatic transmission must relearn its shift strategy . As a result, the transmission may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect function or durability of the transmission.
2. Connect the other end of the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the assisting battery . 3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of the assisting battery .
4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) cable to the ground stud located toward the front of the vehicle (forward of the battery) on the radiator support. Keep the negative (-) cable away from the battery and the carburetor/fuel injection system.
Jump starting 1. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at moderately increased speed. 2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle. 3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, run both engines for an additional three minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.
4. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the disabled vehicle’ s battery . After the disabled vehicle has been started and the jumper cables removed, allow it to idle for several minutes so the engine computer can relearn its idle conditions.

BATTERY Y our vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service. If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.
W ARNING: Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. A void contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect against possible splashing of acid solution.
• Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner . Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local authorized recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive batteries.
• 4.0L V6 engine • 4.6L V8 engine • The engine coolant should be at the FULL COLD level or within the COLD FILL RANGE as listed on the engine coolant reservoir (depending upon application). • Refer to scheduled maintenance information for service interval schedules.
Adding engine coolant When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water . Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir , when the engine is cool, until the appropriate fill level is obtained. W ARNING: Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot.
W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of personal injury , make sure the engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly . Add the proper mixture of coolant and water to the cooling system by following these steps: 1.
Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate manner . Follow your community’ s regulations and standards for recycling and disposing of automotive fluids. Coolant refill capacity T o find out how much fluid your vehicle’ s cooling system can hold, refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this chapter .
What you should know about fail-safe cooling (4.6L V8 engine only) If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred. The “fail-safe” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and terrain.
When fail-safe cooling mode is activated Y ou have limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode, so drive the vehicle with caution. Remember that the engine is capable of completely shutting down automatically to prevent engine damage, therefore: 1.
W ARNING: Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled. W ARNING: Gasoline may contain benzene, which is a cancer -causing agent. Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel: • Extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames before refueling your vehicle.
W ARNING: When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes.
Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel system Y our fuel tank is equipped with an Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel filler system. This allows you to simply open the fuel filler door and insert the fuel filler nozzle into the fuel system. The Easy Fuel™ system is self-sealing and protected against dust, dirt, water and snow/ice.
W ARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door (Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel system), do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury .
Fuel quality If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability problems, try a different brand of unleaded gasoline. If the problems persist, see your authorized dealer . Do not add aftermarket fuel additive products to your fuel tank.
Refilling with a portable fuel container W ith the Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel system, use the following directions when filling from a portable fuel container: W ARNING: Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers or aftermarket funnels into the Easy Fuel™ system.
ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY Measuring techniques Y our best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the driver . Y ou must gather information as accurately and consistently as possible. Fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are NOT accurate as a measure of fuel economy .
Calculating fuel economy 1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading (in miles or kilometers). 2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added (in gallons or liters). 3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.
• Y ou may want to turn off the speed control in hilly terrain if unnecessary shifting between the top gears occurs. Unnecessary shifting of this type could result in reduced fuel economy . • W arming up a vehicle on cold mornings is not required and may reduce fuel economy .
EP A fuel economy estimates Every new vehicle should have a sticker on the window called the Monroney Label which contains EP A fuel economy estimates. Contact your authorized dealer if the Monroney Label is not supplied with your vehicle. The EP A fuel economy estimates should be your guide for the fuel economy comparisons with other vehicles.
W ARNING: Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment. Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine.
If the service engine soon indicator remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity . Although some malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may not have symptoms that are appare.
POWER STEERING FLUID Check the power steering fluid. Refer to scheduled maintenance information. 1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be near the center of the normal area between H and C).
Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes. Y our transmission does not consume fluid. However , the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not working properly , (i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
DRIVELINE UNIVERSAL JOINT, DRIVESHAFT AND SLIP YOKE W ARNING: T urn off the power running boards, if equipped, before working under the vehicle, jacking or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand between the extended running board and the vehicle.
