A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN).
Key Fob The Key Fob also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emergency key , which stores in the rear of the Key Fob. The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead. The emergency key is also for locking the glove box.
T o remove the emergency key , slide the mechanical latch on the back of the Key Fob sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand. NOTE: Y ou can insert the double-sided emergency key into the lock cylinders with either side up.
W ARNING! • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. • Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN position, the V ehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is requir ed for authorized dealer replacement of Key Fobs.
and the V ehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash. Rearming Of The System If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the V ehicle Security Alarm will turn.

exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the V ehicle Security Alarm. T amper Alert If something has triggered the V ehicle Security Alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you disarm the V ehicle Security Alarm.
NOTE: Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system from r esponding to all RKE transmit- ter buttons for all RKE transmitters. T o Unlock The Doors Press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors.
the current setting, refer to “Uconnect T ouch™ Settings” in “Understanding Y our Instrument Panel” for further information. T urn Headlights On With Remote Key Unlock This feature activates the headlights for up to 90 seconds when the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter .
headlights will turn on, the park lights will flash, the horn will pulse on and off, and the interior lights will turn on. The Panic Alarm will stay on for three minutes unless you turn it off by either pr essing the P ANIC button a second time or drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or gr eater .
2. Insert the tip of the emergency key or a #2 flat blade screwdriver into the slot and gently pry the two halves of the RKE transmitter apart. Make sure not to damage the seal during r emoval.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by the party r esponsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions: 1.
• RKE P ANIC button not pressed. • System not disabled from previous remote start event • V ehicle theft alarm not active • Ignition in OFF position 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.
T o Enter Remote Start Mode Press and release the REMOTE ST AR T button on the RKE transmitter twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will lock, parking lights will flash and the horn will chirp twice (if pro- grammed).

positions, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you fr om accidentally locking the Key Fob in the vehicle. Cycling the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position and closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
T o change the current setting, r efer to “Uconnect T ouch™ Settings” in “Understanding Y our Instrument Panel” for further information. NOTE: Use the Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit featur e in accordance with local laws.
Child-Protection Door Lock System — Rear Doors T o provide a safer environment for small children riding in the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with Child-Protection Door Lock system. T o Engage Or Disengage The Child-Protection Door Lock System 1.
NOTE: For emergency exit from the rear seats when the Child-Protection Door Lock System is engaged, manually raise the door lock knob to the unlocked position, roll down the window , and open the door using the outside door handle.
T o Unlock From The Driver’s Side: W ith a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver’s door handle, grab the front driver door handle to unlock the driver’s door automatically . The interior door panel lock knob will raise when the door is unlocked.
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry RKE T ransmitter In V ehicle T o minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside your vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped with an automatic door unlock featur e which will function if the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
T o Enter The T runk W ith a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the deck lid, press the button on the right side of CHMSL, (Center High Mounted Stop Light) which is located on the deck lid.
NOTE: • After pressing the door handle LOCK button, you must wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors, using either Passive Entry door handle. This is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the door handle, without the vehicle reacting and unlocking.
WINDOWS Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door contr ol all the door windows. There are single window contr ols on each passenger door trim panel, which operate the passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
AUTO-Down Feature The driver door power window switch and some model passenger door power window switches have an AUTO- down featur e. Pr ess the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go down automati- cally .
Reset Auto Up Should the Auto Up feature stop working, the window probably needs to be reset. T o reset Auto Up: 1. Pull the window switch up to close the window completely and continue to hold the switch up for an additional two seconds after the window is closed.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Things T o Know Before Starting Y our V ehicle” for more information on trunk operation with the Passive Entry feature. TRUNK SAFETY W ARNING W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for the driver and all passengers • Advanced Front A.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm fr om a deploying air bag: 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. W ARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Air Bag.
(SAB), and deployment occurs, the SABIC and SAB air bags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door . 5. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are provided under ⴖ If Y ou Need Assistance ⴖ .
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause an accident that includes you. This can happen far away fr om home or on your own street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in an accident.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in an accident much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instruc- tions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
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 driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upwar d or downward to position the belt away from your neck. Push and fully depress the button above the webbing to r elease the anchorage, then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate. 4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing.
anytime a child safety seat is installed in a seating position that has a belt with this feature. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the rear seat. How T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt.
Seat Belt Pretensioner The seat belts for both fr ont seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from 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.
The fr ont passenger seat BeltAlert 威 is not active when the front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert 威 may be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the front passenger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if equipped).
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy . 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 across the hips as possible.
NOTE: These air bags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Air Bags. The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat- Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) to provide enhanced protection for an occupant during a side impact. The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags are located in the outboard side of the front seats.
determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information from the front impact sensors. The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an impact that r equires air bag deployment. This low output is used in less sever e collisions.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags may pr ovide enhanced pr otection to help pr otect an occupant during a side impact. The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag is marked with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the front seats.
NOTE: • Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during air bag deployment. • Being too close to the side air bags during deployment could cause you to be severely injur ed or killed.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag The Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag provides enhanced protection and works together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a frontal impact.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag will not deploy in all fr ontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
turns on the Air Bag W arning Light, either momentarily or continuously . A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial startup. It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Air Bag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted that could affect the air bag system.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the air bag. In this way , the air bags do not interfer e with your control of the vehicle. Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag Inflator Unit The Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag unit is located in the instrument panel trim beneath the steering column.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units During collisions where the impact is confined to a particular area of the side of the vehicle, the ORC may deploy the SABIC air bags, depending on the severity and type of collision.
• T urn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power , until the ignition key is r e- moved or the ignition switch is changed to OFF using the Keyless Go Start/Stop button. • Unlock the doors automatically . If A Deployment Occurs The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have de- ployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your air bag system. The air bag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modifications are made. T ake your vehicle to an authorized dealer for any air bag system service.
NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer , or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The air bags may not be ready to inflate for your pr otection. Pr omptly check the fuse block for blown fuses.
In addition to the vehicle manufacturer , other parties, such as law enfor cement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and children.
Infants And Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used rearwar d-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts pr operly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A rearward-facing child restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward-facing child re- straint in the front seat may be struck by a deploy- ing passenger air bag, which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant.
the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper tether straps from the child restraint to the vehicle structur e. LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems are now avail- able.
Installing The LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to follow the manufacturer’s dir ections carefully when installing your child restraint. Not all child r estraint systems will be installed as described here. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that are provided with the child restraint system.
Y ou will first loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages. Next, attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. NOTE: • Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, route the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it.
• N/A — Not Applicable • ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor 1. T o install a child restraint with ALR, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing fr om the retractor to r oute it through the belt path of the child r estraint. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
3. Attach the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint to the anchor (B) and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions. NOTE: Ensur e that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur . For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Y our V e- hicle”.
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always make sure that floor mats are properly attached to the floor mat fasteners. • Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot be properly secured to prevent them from moving and inter- fering with the pedals or the ability to control the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Keyless Enter-N-Go This feature allows the driver to oper- ate the ignition switch with the push of a button, as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in the passenger compartment.
display a “V ehicle Not In Park” message and the engine will r emain running. Never leave a vehicle out of the P ARK position, or it could roll. NOTE: If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or .
If Engine Fails T o Start W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a 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 the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cor d to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord. The engine block heater cor d is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL 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 reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
• The electronically-contr olled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics ar e self-calibrating. Therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt or soft until after the break-in period. This is a normal condition, and pre- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles.
Over-T emperature Mode The transmission electr onics constantly monitor the transmission oil temperature. If the transmission exceeds normal operating temperature, the transmission will change the way it shifts to help control the condition. This may result in a slightly different feeling or response during normal operation in the DRIVE position.
Gear Ranges P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion.
REVERSE This range is used for moving the vehicle r earward. Always stop befor e moving the shift lever to REVERSE. NEUTRAL This range is used when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading condi- tions, in hilly terrain, traveling into str ong head winds, or while towing heavy trailers), use the AutoStick 威 mode to select a lower gear .
If the transmission cannot be reset, see your authorized dealer . NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom- mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our authorized dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur .
The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear . T apping the shift lever to the D+ position (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear . After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (D+) the transmission as the vehicle is accelerated.
period of time. Drive mode, RWD or A WD, is displayed momentarily in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the gage area of the vehicle display when the transmission is first shifted into gear , and if the drive mode changes during vehicle operation.
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precau- tions should be observed: 1.
Shallow Standing W ater Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water , consider the following Caution and W arning before doing so.
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances.
If the “SER VICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM” message and a flashing icon are displayed on the EVIC screen, it indicates that the vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer for service.
P ARKING BRAKE Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is fully applied and place the shift lever in the P ARK position. The foot operated parking brake is located below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o apply the park brake, firmly push the park brake pedal fully .
NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the transmis- sion 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) • Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode.
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. These noises are the system per- forming its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS is working properly . This self check occurs each time the vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (1 1 km/h).
W ARNING! (Continued) • The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys- ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
W ARNING! The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction af forded by prevailing road conditions. The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those re- sulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction af forded by prevailing road conditions. The BAS cannot prevent collisions, including those re- sulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
ESC Operating Modes The ESC system has two available operating modes: ESC On This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. When- ever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving conditions. The ESC should only be turned OFF for specific reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.
W ARNING! The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent acci- dents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
HSA will work in REVERSE and all forward gears when the activation criteria have been met. The system will not activate if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL or P ARK.
W ARNING! (Continued) • HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission in P ARK and using the parking brake, it will roll down the hill and could cause a collision with another vehicle or object.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light and ESC OFF Indicator Light The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. It should go out with the engine running.
Synchronizing ESC If the power supply is interrupted (battery disconnected or discharged), the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” may illuminate with the engine running. If this should occur , turn the steering wheel completely to the left and then to the right.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.

5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 357 I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
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 pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire 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 placar d are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
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 tire inflation pressure is very important.
vehicle has an option for a spare tire matching original equipment tire and wheel, refer to the recommended tire rotation pattern in “T ire Rotation Recommendations” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
Since this tire has limited tread life the original equip- ment tire should be repaired (or r eplaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity . Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spar e.
your original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity . W ARNING! Limited-use spares are for emergency use only . In- stallation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Pr otect tires from contact with oil, gr ease, and gasoline. Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and corr ect cold tir e inflation pressure.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle. • Use on rear wheels only . • Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave- ment. • Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on the method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use.
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 pressures.
The suggested rotation method is the “forward cr oss” shown in the following diagram. This rotation pattern does not apply to some directional tires that must not be reversed.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e if the tir e pressur e falls below the low-pressur e warning limit for any reason, including low temperature effects and natural pr essure loss through the tir e.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning 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 affect tire pressur e, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tir e pr essure in the tire. Base System The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electr onic sensors to monitor tire pressur e levels.
message will turn off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to r eceive this information. Service TPMS W arning If a system fault is detected, the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spare tire does not have a TPM sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
The TPMS consists of the following components: • Receiver module, • Four TPM sensors, • V arious TPMS messages, which display in the Elec- tronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC), and • TPM T elltale Light The matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a TPM sensor .
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires with a low pressure condition (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s r ecom- mended cold placard pressur e inflation value.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the TPM T elltale Light will no longer flash, and the ⬙ SER VICE TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
EVIC will display a low pressur e message and a graphic showing the low tir e pressure value flashing. 3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) the TPM T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tires.
warning limit in any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
optimum performance. The use of premium gasoline is not recommended, as it will not provide any benefit over regular gasoline in these engines. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However , continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is requir ed.
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gaso- line containing more than 10% Ethanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability prob- lems, damage critical fuel system components, cause emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to illumi- nate.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emissions system performance in some vehicles.
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.
Ethanol Fuel (E-85) E-85 is a mixtur e of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury . Never have any smok- ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when filling the tank.
caused by these deposits, a supplemental gasoline additive, such as MOP AR 威 Injector Cleanup or T echr on may be used. Selection Of Engine Oil For Flexible Fuel V ehicles (E-85) And Gasoline V ehicles FFV vehicles operated on E-85 require specially formu- lated engine oils.
CAUTION! Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle. Maintenance If you operate the vehicle using E-85 fuel, follow the maintenance schedule section of this manual. CAUTION! Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your vehicle.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the pipe seals the system. 4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door while refueling. NOTE: Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches allowing the flapper door to open.
CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running.
3. Pull the release cable. VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown on the “V ehicle Certification Label.” This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. Do not exceed the specified Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) or the Gr oss Axle W eight Rating (GA WR).
The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the VIN. Gross V ehicle Weight 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.
Loading T o load your vehicle properly , first figure out its empty weight, axle-by-axle and side-by-side. Stor e heavier items down low and be sure you distribute their weight as evenly as possible.
exceed the GVWR. Refer to “V ehicle Loading/V ehicle Certification Label” in “Starting and Operating” for further information. Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The GTW is the weight of the trailer.
Frontal Area The fr ontal area is the maximum height multiplied by the maximum width of the front of a trailer . T railer Sway Control The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be instal.
W ARNING! • An improperly adjusted weight distributing hitch system may reduce handling, stability , braking performance, and could result in a collision.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart pr ovides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/T ransmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Max. T ongue Wt. (See Note) 3.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch. Consider the following items when computing the weight on the r ear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
T owing Requirements T o promote proper break-in of your new vehicle drive- train components the following guidelines are recom- mended: CAUTION! • Do not tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven. The engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer . Always connect the chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners.
− Check the trailer tires for pr oper tir e inflation pr es- sures before trailer usage. − Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer . Refer to “T ires – General Information” in “Starting and Operating” for informa- tion on tread wear indicators and for the proper inspection procedur e.
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 ef fort, and longer stopping distances.
The wiring harness is not installed when leaving the factory; it must be done by the dealer or customer . Refer to the following illustrations. Four-Pin Connector 1 — Female Pins 4 — Park 2 — Ma.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area located away from heavy traffic. Automatic T ransmission The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. How- ever , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, select a lower gear range using the AutoStick 威 feature.
adequate performance. For example, choose “4” if the desired speed can be maintained. Choose “3” or “2” if needed to maintain the desired speed. − Extended driving at high RPM should be avoided to prevent excess heat generation. A reduction in vehicle speed may be requir ed to avoid extended driving at high RPM.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
Indicator Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is ready for testing. Normally , the OBD II system will be ready . The OBD II system may not be r eady if your vehicle was recently serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replace- ment.
you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in or der for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready .
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides those maintenance items specified in the fixed maintenance schedule, there are other components which may requir e servicing or replacement in the future.
Engine Oil Checking Oil Level – 3.6L Engine T o assur e proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for further informa- tion. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 8,000 miles (13 000 km) or six months, whichever occurs first.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to “Engine Compart- ment” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further informa- tion.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil and Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters varies considerably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service. MOP AR 威 engine air cleaner filters ar e a high quality filter and are recommended.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluor o- carbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency and is an ozone-saving pr oduct.
3. Remove the used filter . 4. Install the new filter with arrows pointing in the direction of airflow , which is toward the r ear of the vehicle (text and arrows on the filter will indicate this). 5. Close the filter access cover . Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.
Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubri- cated pe.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depend- ing on geographical area and frequency of use. Poor performance of blades may be present with chattering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of these conditions are present, clean the wiper blades or replace as necessary .
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly maintained engine exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or if.
CAUTION! • The catalytic converter requires the use of un- leaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emissions con- trol device and may seriously reduce engine per- formance and cause serious damage to the engine.
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition, when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
.
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corro- sion protection.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50% HOA T engine coolant and distilled water . Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below ⫺ 34°F ( ⫺ 37°C) are anticipated. • Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion- ized water when mixing the water/engine coolant (antifreeze) solution.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not use a pressure cap other than the one specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or en- gine damage may result. Disposal of Used Coolant Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal.
humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor- ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot engine coolant (antifreeze) to enter the radiator . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
Brake System In order to assure brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals. W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly a collision.
W ARNING! • Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid can severely damage your brake system and/or impair its performance.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contami- nate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure. This could result in a collision. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture.
Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not requir ed. For this reason, the dipstick is omitted. If you notice fluid loss or transmission malfunction, have your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level.
All Wheel Drive (A WD) – If Equipped The all wheel drive system consists of a transfer case and front differ ential. The exterior surface of these compo- nents should be inspected for evidence of fluid leaks. Confirmed leaks should be repaired as soon as possible.
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
