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 W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the Key Fob into the ignition switch with either side up.
Key Fob The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emergency key , which stores in the r ear of the Key Fob. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry/ Keyless Go (PEKG), the Key Fob will also contain a special receiver that communicates with the vehicle.
Removing Key Fob From Ignition Place the shift lever in P ARK. T urn the Key Fob to the OFF position and then remove the Key Fob. W ith the Passive Entry/Keyless Go system, the EVIC will display the ignition switch position “OFF/ACC/RUN”.
CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Key-In-Ignition Reminder Opening the driver’s door when the Key Fob is in the ignition and the ignition switch position is OFF or ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to r emove the Key Fob.
If the V ehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 sec- onds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electr onics. Should this occur , have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer .
Customer Key Programming Programming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters may be performed at an authorized dealer . General Information The Sentry Key 威 system complies with FCC rules Part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference.
time, the V ehicle Security Light will flash. If it does not illuminate, the V ehicle Security Alarm is not arming. In addition, if you open a door during the arming period, the V ehicle Security Alarm will cancel the arming pr o- cess.
The V ehicle Security Alarm is designed to pr otect your vehicle; however , you can create conditions wher e the V ehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously-described arming sequences has oc- curred, the V ehicle Security Alarm will arm regar dless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.
NOTE: None of the courtesy lights will operate if the dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extr eme downward position), unless the over head map/reading lights are turned on manually .

• For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the door lock plunger to the UNLOCK position, roll down the window and open the door with the outside door handle.
WINDOWS Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door contr ol all the door windows. There ar e single window controls on each passenger door trim panel, which operate the passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position.
AUTO-Down Feature The driver door power window switch and some model passenger door power window switches have an AUTO- down feature. Pr ess the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go down automati- cally .
NOTE: • If the window runs into any obstacle during auto- closure, it will r everse direction and then go back down. Remove the obstacle and use the window switch again to close the window . • Any impact due to rough r oad conditions may trigger the auto-reverse function unexpectedly during auto- closure.
Reset Anytime the vehicle battery is disconnected or goes dead, the AUTO-up function will be disabled. T o reactivate the AUTO-up featur e, perform the following procedur e after vehicle power is restor ed: 1.
The trunk lid can be r eleased from outside the vehicle by pressing the TRUNK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter twice within five seconds. W ith the ignition switch in the RUN position, the T runk Open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open.
T runk Emergency Release The trunk of your vehicle is equipped with an emer gency release handle. It is located on the inside of the tr unk lid, near the latch, and is coated so that it glows in a darkened trunk.
If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) feature can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. For mor e information on LA TCH, see Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH).
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or impacts.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas- sengers 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 a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. 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 can’t do its job properly .
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Push and fully depr ess the button above the webbing to release 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. Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked.
by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision. Pretensioners work for all size occupants, including those in child restraints. NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly .
BeltAlert 威 Programming The BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by performing the following steps: NOTE: Chrysler Group LLC does not r ecommend de- activating the BeltAlert 威 . 1. W ith all doors closed, and the ignition switch in any position except RUN or ST AR T , buckle the driver’s seat belt.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant 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.
NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags. The Advanced Fr ont Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
NOTE: • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment. • After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately .
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually .
NOTE: • Should a vehicle rollover occur , the pretensioners and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy . • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment.
Knee Impact Bolsters The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position front occu- pants for the best interaction with the Advanced Front Airbags.
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. (Refer to “Child Restraints”) Y ou should read the instructions pr ovided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it pr operly .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Airbag 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 side airbags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side airbag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision. Because airbag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an airbag should have deployed.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Airbag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away by an authorized dealer .
covers the window . The airbag inflates in about 30 ms (about one-quarter of the time that it takes to blink your eyes) with enough force to injur e you if you are not belted and seated properly , or if items are positioned in the ar ea where the side curtain airbag inflates.
If a Deployment Occurs The front airbags ar e designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly replaced by an authorized dealer immediately . Also, have the Occupant Re- straint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. T ake your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice.
NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer , or any engine related gauges ar e not working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The airbags may not be ready to inflate for your pr otection. Promptly check the fuse block for blown fuses.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (r egardless of initiative), the com- pany or its designated repr esentative will first obtain permission of the appropriate cust.
• Engine RPM • Brake switch status • Pedal position • And other parameters depending on vehicle configuration 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 childr en 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 r earward-facing, infant carriers and convertible child seats.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . 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! • 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.
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) Y our vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to follow the manufacturer’s dir ections carefully when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that are pr ovided with the child restraint system.
means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some r ear-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate fr om the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again.
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 r estraint manufacturer’s instr uc- tions. NOTE: Ensure 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 r efer to “Maintenance Procedur es” 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 r eplaced after a collision.
W ARNING! Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious per- sonal injury . • Always make sure that floor mats are properly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside the V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect the tr ead and sidewall 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, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Do not press the accelerator . Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running.
NOTE: The ENGINE ST AR T/STOP button should only be removed or inserted with the ignition in the LOCK position (OFF position for Keyless Go™). Normal Starting Using the ENGINE ST AR T/STOP Button NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not running) position and the transmission is in P ARK, the system will automatically time out after 60 minutes of inactivity and the ignition will switch to the OFF position.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , wait 10 to 15 sec- onds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Do not shift from REVERSE, P ARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the engine is above idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal. 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.
NOTE: • After selecting any driving position, wait a moment to allow the gear to engage fully before accelerating, especially when the engine is cold. • If there is a need to r estart the engine, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (OFF position with Keyless Go™) before r estarting.
W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the transmission into P ARK, remove the key fob from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
must be turned to the ON or ST AR T position (engine is running or not) and the brake pedal must be pr essed. Brake/T ransmission Interlock Manual Override There is an override for the BTSI that allows you to move the shift lever out of the P ARK position if an electrical system malfunction occurs (i.
W ith Keyless Go™ If the engine is running, pr ess the ST AR T/STOP button to turn it off. Release the brake pedal and pr ess the ST AR T/ STOP button once or twice to go to the ACC or RUN position. Do not start the engine. Then, follow the in- structions shown above to activate the override.
When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
NEUTRAL This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with engine running. Engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmission damage.

T emporary T ransmission Limp Home Mode The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode.
If the problem has been momentary , the transmission can be reset to r egain all forward gears. AUTOSTICK 姞 AutoStick 威 is a driver-interactive transmission that of fers manual gear shifting to provide you with mor e control of the vehicle.
for at least one second. The transmission will now operate automatically , shifting between the five available gears. General Information • Y ou can start out in first or second gear . The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and r oad 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.
• Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steer- ing pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and it does not in any way damage the steering system.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturer’s recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level.
When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position, the “Brake W arning Light” in the instrument cluster will illuminate. NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the transmis- sion is placed in gear , the “Brake W arning Light” will flash.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and an accident. • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury .
Anti-Lock Brake System The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides incr eased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to pr event wheel lock-up.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisti- cated electronic equipment that may be suscep- tible to interference caused by improperly in- stalled or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and type and tires must be pr operly inflated to produce accurate signals for the computer . Anti-Lock Brake Light The “Anti-Lock Brake Light” monitors the anti- lock brake system.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions by controlling hydrau- lic brake pressur e. This prevents wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
Brake Assist System (BAS) This system complements the ABS by optimizing the vehicle braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake appli- cation and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer and help the vehicle maintain the desired path. The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle.
The ESP system has thr ee available operating modes: ESP On This is the normal operating mode for the ESP . Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. The ESP should only be turned OFF for specific r easons as noted in the following paragraphs.
stopped with the engine running. After five seconds, a chime will sound, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illuminate, and the ⬙ ESP OFF ⬙ message will display in the vehicle odometer . Press and r elease the TRIP ODOM- ETER button located on the instrument cluster to clear this message.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched OFF , the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emer - gency evasive maneuver , the ESP system will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for of f-highway or off- road only .
NOTE: • The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light” will turn on momen- tarily each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. • Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the ESP System will be ON even if it was turned OFF previously .
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
316 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
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.
loading may be requir ed for high-speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
If you need snow tires, select tir es equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tir es only in sets of four . Failure to do so may adversely af fect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Tire Rotation – Standard T ires The suggested rotation method is the “side-to-side” as shown in the following diagram. Tire Rotation – All Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” as shown in the following diagram.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e 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 (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placard pr essure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tir e pressur e is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature dr op to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tir e pressur e to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failur e.
• 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 . The full size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tir es.

1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPM sensors. 2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio wave signals. 3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid. In addition, the EVIC will display a ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ message for three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressur e value.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 6.1L Engine The 6.1L engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and pr ovide excel- lent fuel economy and performance when using high-quality premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher . Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
• disconnect and reconnect the battery to r eset the engine controller memory More extensive r epairs will be requir ed for prolonged exposure to E85 fuel. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler cap door reinfor cement. CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emissions control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
