• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel • Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants • Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners to enhance occupant protection by managing.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision.
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.
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. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly .
W ARNING! • 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 .
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing.
Rear Seat Belts The shoulder belt anchorages of the rear three-point belts are nonadjustable for outboard and center rear passen- gers on sedans. The center belt is mounted to the rear shelf panel and exits through a bezel in the panel.
Seat Belt Pretensioners — If Equipped The seat belts for both fr ont seating positions may be equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
However if during a front impact, a secondary rear impact occurs, the AHR may deploy based on the sever- ity and type of the impact. CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate.
1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the rear seat. 2. Position the hands on the top of the deployed AHR at a comfortable position. 3. Pull down then rearward towards the rear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism.
4. The AHR front soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or problems 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 .
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert 姞 ) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the BeltAlert 威 will alert the driver to buckle the seat belt.
NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to retract the seat belt partially each time when unbuckling. 4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
The Advanced Fr ont Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that ar e based on the severity and type of collision.
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (SAB) • Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) • Front and Side Impact Sensors • Front Seat Belt Pretensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch, .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way . • Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) — If Equipped SABIC airbags may of fer side-impact and vehicle rollover protection to front and rear seat outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the body structure.
The system includes side impact sensors adjacent to both front and r ear seat occupants that ar e calibrated to deploy the SABIC airbags during impacts that requir e airbag occupant protection.
W ARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that posi- tion.
5. If the airbag 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 . W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
Advanced Front Airbags are designed to provide addi- tional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Airbags are not ex- pected to reduce the risk of injury in rear , side, or rollover collisions.
Also, the ORC turns on the Airbag W arning Light in the instrument panel for approxi- mately six to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on.

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 injure you if you ar e not belted and seated pr operly , or if items are positioned in the area where the side curtain airbag inflates.
NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system. If you do have a collision, which deploys the airbags, any or all of th.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .

Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint.
cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchor- age, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
Installing Child Restraint T ether Strap 1. Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belts The passenger seat belts are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractors (ALRs), which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint. The seat belt must be in the Automatic Locking Mode in order to enable a child restraint to be tightly installed.
Children T oo Large for Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
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 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 replaced 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 tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect the tread and sidewall for cuts and cracks.

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, three-wir e extension cord.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Before shifting the shift lever into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal. NOTE: Y ou MUST pr ess and hold the brake pedal down while shifting the shift lever out of P ARK. 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • 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 vehicle into P ARK, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
• Insert a key , screwdriver , or finger into the hole at the front of the cup holder and push and hold the manual override release lever forward. • While holding the r elease lever forward, move the shift lever from P ARK to NEUTRAL. • Release the manual override.
When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever into 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. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition switch to coast down a hill.

• If the system detects a problem, it will disable the AutoStick 威 mode and the transmission will return to the automatic mode until the problem is corrected. DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the front wheels to pull errati- cally to the right or left.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensur e safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising Water W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated. Coordinate inspection efforts through an autho- rized dealer . CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage your power steering components.
When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch ON, 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! • 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. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.

If the “Anti-Lock Brake W arning Light” is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restor e the benefits of anti-lock brakes.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interfer- ence can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
spinning faster than the other , the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active even if TCS and ESC are in the “Partial Off” mode.
Hill Start Assist (HSA) – If Equipped The HSA system is designed to assist the driver in launching a vehicle on an incline. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressur e the driver inputs for a short duration once the driver takes his foot off of the brake pedal.
The system will only work if the intended dir ection of the vehicle and vehicle gear match. For example, if the intended direction is forward up a hill and the vehicle is in DRIVE and the activation criteria are met, HSA will activate. The system will work in REVERSE and all forward gears, and will not activate if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL.

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 accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation. ESC Operating Modes All ESC equipped vehicles can choose the following ESC operating modes: ESC On This is the normal operating mode for ESC.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow , sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the “ESC Off” switch.

5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 275 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 pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop acr oss 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 placard are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
T ire 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.
W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary-use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in “What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information. 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 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.
CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES Snow tires should be of the same size and type construc- tion as the front tires. Consult the manufacturer of the snow tire to determine any maximum vehicle speed requir ement associated with the tire.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ir e Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pressure. The tire pressur e will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12 F (7 C).
The TPM System will continue to warn the driver of low tire pressur e as long as the condition exists, and will not turn off until the tire pressure is at or above the recom- mended cold placard pressur 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 tire pressure in the tire. Base System The T ir e Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electr onic sensors to monitor tire pressur e levels.
will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. The “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur due to any of the following: 1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Fr equencies as the TPM sensors.
T elltale Light” will turn OFF , as long no tire pressure is below the low-pressur e 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 (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The “T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pressur e is low in one or more of the four active road tires.
Check TPMS W arning When a system fault is detected, a chime will sound and the “T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
NOTE: 1. The compact spare tire (if so equipped) does not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tire.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesir ed operation. The tire pressur e sensors are covered under one of the following licenses: United States ..................... KR5S120123 Canada ......
Over 40 automobile manufacturers around the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle.
NOTE: The 2.7L engine is now rated for E85 Ethanol use (EXCEPT CALIFORNIA EMISSION ST A TES). Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler door label can operate on E-85. Refer to “Flexible Fuel” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
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 emission 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.
NOTE: The 2.7L engine is now rated for E85 Ethanol use (EXCEPT CALIFORNIA EMISSION ST A TES). Only vehicles with the E85 fuel filler door label can operate on E85.
Ethanol Fuel (E85) E85 is a mixture 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 remov- ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the tank.
• Some additives used in regular gasoline are not fully compatible with E85 and may form deposits in your engine. T o eliminate driveability issues that may be caused by these deposits, a supplemental gasoline additive, such as MOP AR 威 Injector Cleanup or T echr on may be used.
Replacement Parts Many components in your Flexible Fuel V ehicle (FFV) ar e designed to be compatible with ethanol. Always be sure that your vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol com- patible parts. CAUTION! Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle.
After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door . This keeps the gas cap suspended away from and protects the vehicle’s surface. NOTE: If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and doing so will cause the MIL to turn on. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
The label contains the following information: • Name of manufacturer • Month and year of manufacture • Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) • Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) front • Gross .
The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for operation. W eigh it on a commercial scale to ensure that it is not over the GVWR. Figure out the weight on the front and rear of the vehicle separately .
Common T owing Definitions The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following information: Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, cargo, and tongue weight.
W ARNING! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. T railer T ongue W eight (TW) The tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer .
T railer Hitch Classification The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Maximum T railer W eight Ratings Engine/T ransmission Max. Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.
CAUTION! T owing a trailer with a larger than recommended frontal area could cause the engine to overheat or cause severe engine damage under extreme condi- tions. T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer .
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! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and that it will not shift during travel.
W ARNING! (Continued) 3. GA WR 4. T railer tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always achieve 10% of trailer tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight). T owing Requirements – T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
• An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing the trailer in an area located away from heavy traffic. Make sure all trailer and vehicle lights are working properly — including hazard flashers. Automatic T ransmission The DRIVE range can be selected when towing.
• Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency .

HAZARD W ARNING FLASHER The Hazard W arning flasher switch is located on the instrument panel, below the radio. Press the switch to turn on the Hazard W arning flasher . When the switch is activated, all directional turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming traffic of an emergency .
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition: • If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never put any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
Preparations For Jacking 1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. A void ice or slippery areas. W ARNING! Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle. • Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised. • Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in P ARK; a manual transmission in REVERSE.
NOTE: The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with two attachment points. When the jack is partially expanded, the tension between the two attachment points holds the jack handle in place. 2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
4. T urn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking location. Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack screw to the right until the jack head is properly engaged with the lift area closest to the wheel to be changed. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench.
W ARNING! A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve- hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places provided. 10. Place the deflated (flat) tir e in the cargo area and have the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
W ARNING! Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause personal injury . Preparations for Jump-Start The battery in your vehicle is located between the left front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash shield.
W ARNING! • T ake care to avoid the radiator cooling fan when- ever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. Y ou can be injured by moving fan blades. • Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact.
W ARNING! Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result. Jump-Starting Procedure W ARNING! Failure to follow this procedure could result in per- sonal injury or property damage due to battery ex- plosion.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery , let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery . Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence: 6.
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between RE- VERSE and FIRST gear . Using minimal accelerator pedal pressur e to maintain the rocking motion, without spin- ning the wheels, is most effective. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), turn the system to Partial OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE T owing With The Ignition Key Front Wheel Drive Y our vehicle may be towed (with all four wheels flat on the ground), under the following conditions: • The shift lever must be in NEUTRAL. • The distance to be traveled must not exceed 15 miles (25 km).
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the key must be in the ON position, not the ACC position. Make certain the transaxle r emains in NEUTRAL. T owing Without The Ignition Key Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK position.
T owing Without Power — Override T ransaxle Interlock System Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear wheels ar e raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent dam- age to the vehicle.

NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems may void your warranty and could r esult in civil penalties being assessed against you. W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Y our vehicle has been built with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals. Do not use chemical flushes in these components as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, power steering or air condi- tioning.
CAUTION! Do not overfill the engine. Overfilling the engine will cause oil aeration, which can lead to loss of oil pressure and an increase in oil temperature. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the chemicals can damage your engine. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty . Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) – 2.4L and 2.7L Engines SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certi- fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num- ber should not be used. Synthetic Engine Oils Y ou may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom- mended oil quality requir ements are met, and the recom- mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter W ARNING! The air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc.) can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc.) unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance.
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 hydrofluoro- carbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
5. Disengage the two retaining tabs that secure the filter cover to the HV AC housing and remove the cover . 6. Remove the A/C Air Filter by pulling it straight out of the housing. 7. Install the A/C Air Filter with the arrow on the filter pointing toward the floor .
quiet, easy operation and to protect against rust and wear . Prior to the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after lubricating excess oil and grease should be removed. Particular attention should also be given to hood latching components to ensur e proper function.
present please proceed to clean wiper blades with humid cloth removing any debris that may be affecting its function. Adding Washer Fluid The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers is located in the engine compartment. Be sure to check the fluid level in the r eservoir at regular intervals.
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. T o avoid breathing CO, refer to “Safety T ips/Exhaust Gas” in “Things T o Know Before Starting Y our V ehicle” for further information.
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage. NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you.
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. The fan is tempera- ture controlled and can start at anytime the igni- tion switch is in the ON position.
Selection Of Coolant Use only the manufacturer’s recommended coolant. Re- fer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Main- taining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same engine coolant (antifreeze) throughout the life of your vehicle. Please review these recommendations for using Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolant (antifreeze).
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for engine coolant (antifr eeze) freeze point or replacing cool- ant. Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
• Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed. • Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean. • Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation.
Clean the top of the master cylinder area before r emoving the cap. If necessary , add fluid to bring the fluid level up to the requirements described on the brake fluid reser - voir . Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may cause leaking in the system.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T o avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container . Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
Fluid Level Check – 2.4L and 2.7L Engines Use the following procedure to check the automatic transmission fluid level properly: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. 2. Run the engine at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds. 3. Apply the parking brake fully .
CAUTION! • Using a transmission fluid other than the manu- facturer’s recommended fluid may cause deterio- ration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than that recommended by the manufacturer will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the chemicals can damage your transmission compo- nents. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty .
W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly . Always wash your ve- hicle in the shade using MOP AR 威 Car W ash or equiva- lent, or a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with clear water .
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately . The cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner . • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and protective coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as pos- sible.
T o minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. T o remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution fol- lowed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the lenses.
