• This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interfer ence that may cause unde- sired operation. VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED This V ehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
Rearming The System If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the V ehicle Security Alarm will turn of f the horn after three minutes, turn of f all of the visual signals after 15 minutes, and then the V ehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y (RKE) — IF EQUIPPED This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate or activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
• For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following steps: 1. Press and hold the LOCK button on a pr ogrammed RKE transmitter for at least 4 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds. Then, press and hold the UNLOCK button while still holding the LOCK button.
T o Lock The Doors And Liftgate Press and r elease the LOCK button on the RKE transmit- ter to lock all doors and liftgate. The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will chirp to acknowledge the signal. Sound Horn With Remote Key Lock This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are locked with the RKE transmitter .
NOTE: Pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmit- ter while you are in the vehicle will activate the V ehicle Security Alarm. Opening a door with the V ehicle Security Alarm activated will cause the alarm to sound. Press the UNLOCK button to deactivate the V ehicle Security Alarm.
Alarm activated will cause the alarm to sound. Press the UNLOCK button to deactivate the V ehicle Security Alarm. Using The Panic Alarm T o turn the Panic Alarm feature ON or OFF , press and hold the P ANIC button on the RKE transmitter for at least one second and release.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions: 1. W eak battery in the RKE transmitter . The expected life of a battery is five years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , military base, and some mobile or CB radios.
3. T o reassemble the RKE transmitter case, snap the two halves together . NOTE: If the RKE transmitter is equipped with a screw , reinstall and tighten the scr ew until snug.
W ARNING! • Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Mon- oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Car- bon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled. • Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters away from children.
• For security , power window and power sunroof op- eration (if equipped) are disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode. • If your power door locks were unlocked, Remote Start will automatically lock the doors. • The engine can be started two consecutive times (two 15-minute cycles) with the RKE transmitter .
T o Exit Remote Start Mode And Drive The V ehicle Before the end of the 15-minute cycle, pr ess and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter to unlock the doors and disarm the V ehicle Security Alarm (if equipped). Then, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn the switch to the ON/RUN position.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, and re- move the key fob from the ignition. When leaving the vehicle, always lock your vehicle. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Auto Lock Doors — 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 .

ride properly buckled up in the r ear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. If a child from 1 to 12 years old (not in a r ear facing child seat) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible and use the proper child r estraint.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury , including death. Air Bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or accidents. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions. However , in an accident the belt will lock and reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is along side the pillar near the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is dangerous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in an accident, 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 internal injury in an accident. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt will not protect you properly .
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seat, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Push the anchorage button to release the anchorage, and move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
In the rear seat, move towar d the center of the seat to position the belt away from your neck. Second Row Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions The second row center lap/shoulder belt featur es a three-point seat belt with a mini-latch and buckle, which allows the shoulder belt to detach from the lower anchor when the seat is folded.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the right head restraint. 4. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the mini- latch plate into the mini-buckle until you hear a “click.” 5. Sit back in the seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
7. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in an accident.
10. T o disengage the mini-latch from the mini-buckle for storage, insert the regular latch plate into the black button on the top of the mini-buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully .

How T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of an accident. These devices may improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in an accident.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the fr ont half of the head restraint extends forwar d to minimize the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is designed to help prevent or r educe the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in certain types of rear impacts.
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 an accident.
3. Pull down then rearward towards the rear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism. 1 — Downward Movement 2 — Rearward Movement 3— Final Downward Movement T o Engage Locking Me.
4. The AHR front soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or pr oblems 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 .
unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert 威 will provide both audio and visual notification. The front passenger seat BeltAlert 威 is not active when the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible.
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on the severity and type of collision.
• Instrument Panel • Knee Impact Bolster • Driver Advanced Front Air Bag • Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag • Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) • Supplemental Side Air Bag Infl.
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually .
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat’s trim cover . Each air bag deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the right air bag only .
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed. The system includes side impact sensors that are cali- brated to deploy the side air bags during impacts that requir e air bag occupant protection.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front Air Bags work with the knee bolsters to provide im- proved pr otection for the driver and front passenger .
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed. Seat belts are necessary for your pr otection in all acci- dents, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Air Bag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on as a bulb check when the .
Based on the severity and type of collision, the side air bag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle may be triggered, r eleasing a quantity of non-toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits through the seat seam into the space between the occupant and the door .
Front And Side Impact Sensors In front and side impacts, impact sensors can aid the ORC in determining appropriate r esponse to impact events. Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impa.
If you do have a collision, which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front passenger as the air bags deploy and unfold.
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 inter connecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, • How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur .
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
W ARNING! Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with the front passenger air bag unless the air bag is turned off.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
retractor . For additional information on ALR, refer to “Automatic Locking Mode”. The chart below defines the seating positions with an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) or a cinching latch plate.
around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secur e, try a differ ent seating position. • Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufactur er ’s directions.
webbing-mounted lower attachments. Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the out- board positions only . Regardless of the specific type of lower attachment, never install LA TCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchor - age.
provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products. T ether anchorage kits are also available for most older vehicles. Because the lower anchorages are to be intr oduced to passenger ca.
In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily . The tether strap should be routed over the center of the head restraint and attached to the tether anchor on the r ear of the seatback.
T ransporting Pets Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in an accident. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA. W ARNING! • Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death. • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling controls to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield. See your authorized dealer for service if your defroster is inoperable. Floor Mat Safety Information Always use floor mats designed to fit the footwell of your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver footwell while the vehicle is moving. Ob- jects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control. • If required, mounting posts must be properly installed, if not equipped from the factory .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! • Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, and re- move the key fob from the ignition.
Automatic T ransmission – If Equipped The shift lever must be in the P ARK or NEUTRAL position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting to any driving gear . NOTE: Y ou must press the brake pedal befor e shifting out of P ARK.
Extreme Cold Weather (Below –20°F or ⫺ 29°C) T o ensure r eliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail- able from your authorized dealer) is r ecommended.
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, thr ee-wire extension cor d. The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.
Use each gear in numerical order , do not skip a gear . Be sure the transmission is in first gear , (not third), when starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch can result fr om starting in third gear . For most city driving, you will find it easier to use only the lower gears.
Manual T ransmission Recommended Shift Speeds Units in mph (km/h) Engine Size Accel- eration Rate 1t o2 2t o3 3t o4 4t o5 All Engines Accel 14 (23) 23 (37) 29 (47) 45 (72) Cruise 12 (19) 18 (29) 25 (40) 32 (52) Downshifting Proper downshifting will impr ove fuel economy and prolong engine life.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Do not shift between P ARK, REVERSE, NEU- TRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal. NOTE: Y ou must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of P ARK.
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.
transmission gear ratios, 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. P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission.
W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. • Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P ARK.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or 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, and remove the ignition key .
CAUTION! (Continued) • DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain. The following indicators should be used to ensure that y.
CAUTION! T owing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can result in severe transmission damage. Refer to “Recre- ational T owing” in “Starting And Operating” and “T owing A Disabled V ehicle” in What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information.
AUTOSTICK 姞 AutoStick 威 is a driver-interactive transmission that of fers six manual ratio changes to provide you with mor e control. AutoStick 威 allows you to maximize engine brak- ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.

traction surfaces, activate the “4WD LOCK” switch by pulling up once and releasing. This locks the center coupling allowing more tor que to be sent to the rear wheels. The “4WD Indicator Light” will come on in the cluster . This can be done on the fly , at any vehicle speed.
you will need to use your own good judgment on what is safe and what is not. When on a trail, you should always be looking ahead for surface obstacles and changes in terrain. The key is to plan your future driving r oute while remembering what you ar e currently driving over .
Driving In Snow , Mud And Sand There is a drastic r eduction in traction when driving in snow , mud or sand. The vehicle will be less responsive to steering, acceleration and braking inputs. Therefor e, you should accelerate slowly , leave greater stopping distances and avoid abrupt vehicle maneuvers.
Sand Soft sand is very difficult to travel thr ough with full tire pressur e. When crossing soft sandy spots in a trail maintain your vehicle’s momentum and do not stop. The key to driving in soft sand is using the appropriate tir e pressur e, accelerating slowly , avoiding abrupt maneu- vers and maintaining the vehicle’s momentum.
is on the hill side trail. Is the trail straight up and down? What is on top and the other side? Are ther e ruts, rocks, branches or other obstacles on the path? Can you safely recover the vehicle if .
controlled descent? Are there obstacles? Is it a straight descent? Is there plenty of distance at the base of the hill to regain contr ol if the vehicle descends to fast? If you feel confident in your ability to proceed then make sur e you are in low (L Off-Road) with the 4WD LOCK engaged and proceed with caution.
W ARNING! If the engine stalls or you lose headway or cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never attempt to turn around. T o do so may result in tipping and rolling the vehicle, which may result in severe injury . Always back carefully straight down a hill in REVERSE gear .
CAUTION! W ater ingestion into the transaxle, transfer case, engine or vehicle interior can occur if you drive too fast or through too deep of water . W ater can cause permanent damage to engine, driveline or other vehicle components and your brakes will be less effective once wet and/or muddy .
After Driving Off-Road Off-r oad operation puts more str ess on your vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going of f-road, it is always a good idea to check for damage. That way you can get any problems taken car e of right away and have your vehicle ready when you need it.
• If you experience unusual vibration after driving in mud, slush or similar conditions, check the wheels for impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel imbalance and freeing the wheels of it will correct the situation.
CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible. Damage to the power steering pump may occur . Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid fr om all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information. P ARKING BRAKE Before leaving the vehicle, make sur e that the parking brake is fully applied.
NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the automatic transmission is placed in gear , the “Brake W arning Light” will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound to alert the driver . Fully release the parking brake before attempting to move the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave an automatic transmission in P ARK, a manual transmission in REVERSE or first gear . Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
malfunction is caused by an internal leak, as the brake fluid in the master cylinder drops, the “Brake W arning Light” will light. W ARNING! Driving a vehicle with the “Brake W arning Light” on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking per - formance or vehicle stability during braking may occur .
W ARNING! (Continued) • The capabilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
Assist (HSA), and Electronic Stability Contr ol (ESC). All systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions and ar e commonly referr ed to as ESC. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user ’ s safety or the safety of others. T raction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels.
NOTE: Anytime the ESC system is in the “Full Off” mode, ERM is disabled. Refer to “Electronic Stability Control (ESC)” in this section for a complete explanation of the available ESC modes. W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or roll over may occur .
Off” button for five seconds. Refer to “Electr onic Stability Control (ESC)” in this section of the manual. HDC operation can be overridden with brake application to slow the vehicle down below the HDC control speed. Conversely , if more speed is desired during HDC contr ol, the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed like normal.
HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: • V ehicle must be stopped. • V ehicle must be on a 7% grade or greater hill. • Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle back- ing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
5. Release the clutch pedal. 6. Rotate the steering wheel one-half turn to the left. 7. Press the “ESC Of f” switch (located in the lower switch bank below the climate controls) four times within 20 seconds. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” should turn on and turn off two times.
W ARNING! • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. • ESC cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
in deep snow , sand or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESC would normally allow is requir ed to gain traction. T o turn ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC Of f” switch. This will restor e the normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
“ESC Off” message will appear in the odometer . Press and release the T rip Odometer button located on the instrument cluster to clear this message. In this mode, ESC is turned off until the vehicle r eaches a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35 mph (56 km/h) the system returns to “Partial Of f” mode, as described above.
Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven sever.

ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 345.
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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. 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.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
vehicle. If your vehicle has this option refer to an authorized tire dealer for the r ecommended tire r otation pattern. If your vehicle is not equipped with an original equip- ment tire and wheel as a spar e, a non-matching tempo- rary emergency use spar e may be equipped with your vehicle.
W ARNING! Compact spares are for temporary emergency use only . W ith these spares, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
W ARNING! Limited-use spares are for emergency use only . In- stallation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than the speed listed on the limit-use spare wheel.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e should be replaced.
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e. The manu- facturer str ongly recommends that you use tir es equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity other than what was originally equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load index could result in tire overloading and failure. Y ou could lose control and have a collision.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ir e Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle r ecom- mended cold placard pr essure. The tire pr essure will vary with temperatur e by about 1 psi (6.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire pressur e as long as the condition exists, and will not turn off until the tir e pressur e is at or above the recommended cold placard pr essure.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pr essure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the instrument cluster . The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tir e pressur e lev- els.
Check TPMS W arnings The T ir e Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and r emain on solid when a system fault is detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat pr oviding the system fault still exists.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS 2.0L And 2.4L Engine This engine is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy and performance when us- ing high-quality unleaded “regular” gaso- line having an octane rating of 87.
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.
• drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer) More extensive r epairs will be requir ed for prolonged exposure to E-85 fuel. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
CAUTION! (Continued) • An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper maintenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnor- mal conditions repaired promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose or improperly installed, a “gASCAP” message will be displayed in the Odometer/T rip Odom- eter in the instrument cluster .
Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, and cargo. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR. T ire Size The tire size on the V ehicle Certification Label repr esents the actual tire size on your vehicle.
Overloading can cause potential safety hazards and shorten useful service life. Heavier suspension compo- nents do not necessarily increase the vehicle’s GVWR.

T railer And T ongue W eight 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 authorized dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have a collision.
T owing Requirements – T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e 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 tir e inflation procedur es.
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.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away fr om heavy traffic. Manual T ransmission – If Equipped If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in first gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage.
