OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions • Advanced Front Air Bags .
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 also can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. For more information on LA TCH, refer to Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH).
If a child from 2 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 restraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”). Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sure that you are using it properly .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury , including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
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 passengers safe, too.
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 inter- nal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
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 prop- erly .
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 may not protect you properly .
Pull the strap down and secure the small latch plate of the lap belt into the small buckle until you hear a “click”. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. When the belt is long enough to fit , insert the large latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average you will prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.

How T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both fr ont seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices may improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
This system is designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in certain types of rear impacts. NOTE: The Active Head Restraints (AHR) may or may not deploy in the event of a front or side impact.
CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.
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 .
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not active when the front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the front passenger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if equipped).
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can in- crease the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the seat 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.
NOTE: The Driver and Passenger Advanced Fr ont Air Bags are certified to new Federal regulations. The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
• Air Bag W arning Light • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag • Knee Impact Bolsters • Driver Advanced Front Air Bag • Passenger Advance.
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually .
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat’s trim cover . Each air bag deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the right air bag only .
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) SABIC air bags may of fer side-impact and vehicle r oll- over protection to fr ont and rear seat outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the body structur e.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the side air bags; the performance could be adversely af fected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury .
Knee Impact Bolsters The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and front passenger , and position the front occu- pants for the best interaction with the Advanced Fr ont Air Bags.
Side Knee Air Bag may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial deceleration. The side air bags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Air Bag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on as a bulb check when the .

positioned in the area where the side curtain air bag inflates. This especially applies to children. The side curtain air bag is only about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when it is inflated. Because air bag sensors estimate deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with the air bag system. If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of .
Maintaining Y our Air Bag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you.
Air Bag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the air bags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air Bag W arning Light monitors the internal circuits and inter connecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, • How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur .
There are differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost lar ge enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner ’s Manual to make sure you have the correct seat for your child.
Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In V ehicles Child Size, Height, W eight Or Age Recommended T ype Of Child Restraint Infants and T oddlers Children who are two years old or younger.
Infants And Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d- facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their r ear facing child safety seat. T wo types of child restraints can be used rearwar d-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
Older Children And Child Restraints Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing convertible child seat can ride forward- facing in the vehicle.
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 seat belt in a rear seat.

Lower Anchors And T ethers For Children (LA TCH) Restraint System Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren. The LA TCH system has three vehicle anchor points for installing LA TCH- equipped child seats.
LA TCH Positions For Installing Child Restraints In This V ehicle Second Row Captains Chairs • Lower Anchorage Symbol 2 anchorages per seat- ing position • T op T ether Anchorage Symbol Second Row.
Child Restraint LA TCH Positions What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LA TCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.
Can two child restraints be attached using a common lower LA TCH an- chorage? No Never “share” a LA TCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the gap between the seatback and seat cushion.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages In addition, there are tether strap anchors lo- cated behind each rear seatback, near to the floor . LA TCH Anchorages (Third Row 60/40 Anchorages Shown) LA TCH Anchorag.
LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each side. Each will have a hook or connector to attach to the lower anchorage and a way to tighten the connection to the anchorage. Forward-facing child restraints and some rear -facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap.
Always follow the directions of the child restraint manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described here.
6. T ighten all of the straps as you push the child r estraint rearwar d and downward into the seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufac- turer ’s instructions. 7. T est that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path.
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 ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.

Installing A Child Restraint With A Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) 1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit.
9. T est that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the seat belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the seat belt occasionally , and pull it tight if necessary .
6. T est that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should not move mor e than 1 inch (25 mm) in any direction. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally , and pull it tight if necessary .
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head r estraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer ’s instructions. W ARNING! • An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
COMMERCIAL CARGO VEHICLES (NO F ACTOR Y INST ALLED REAR SEA TS) — IF EQUIPPED Commercial cargo vehicles are not designed for use as a family vehicle and ar e not intended for carrying children in the front passenger seat.
Restraining Infants And Small Children In Commercial Cargo V ehicles There are differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost lar ge enough for an adult safety belt. Use the restraint that is correct for your child.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA. W ARNING! • Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death. • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.

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! • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Do not shift from REVERSE, P ARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the engine is above idle speed. • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Installing And Removing The ENGINE ST AR T/STOP Button Installing The Button 1. Remove the key fob from the ignition switch. 2. Insert the ENGINE ST ART/ST OP button into the ignition switch with the lettering facing up and read- able. 3. Press firmly on the center of the button to secur e it into position.
T o T urn Off The Engine Using ENGINE ST AR T/STOP Button 1. Place the shift lever/gear selector in P ARK, then press and release the ENGINE ST AR T/STOP button.
3. Press the ENGINE ST ART/ST OP button a second time to change the ignition switch to the RUN position (EVIC displays “IGNITION MODE RUN”), 4. Press the ENGINE ST AR T/STOP button a third time to r eturn the ignition switch to the OFF position (EVIC displays “IGNITION MODE OFF”).
W ARNING! (Continued) • If the vehicle has a discharged battery , booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly . Refer to “Jump Starting” in “What T o Do In Emergen- cies” for further information.
The starter motor will disengage automatically in 10 seconds. Once this occurs, release the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” pr ocedure. CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, turn the engine OFF , and remove the Key Fob.
Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requires the transmission to be in P ARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the LOCK position.
When the Fuel Economy (ECON) Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will change the following: • The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later . • The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to allow the engine to operate at lower speeds.
The electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self-calibrating; therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
P ARK (P) This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to shift out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Allowing children to be alone in a vehicle unat- tended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the park- ing brake, brake pedal or the shift lever .
REVERSE (R) This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. NEUTRAL (N) Use this range when the vehicle is standing for pr olonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range.
while towing heavy trailers), use the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control (described below) to select a lower gear range. Under these conditions, using a lower gear range will improve performance and extend trans- mission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.
4. W ait approximately 10 seconds. 5. Restart the engine. 6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will r eturn to normal operation. NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom- mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience.
T o exit ERS mode, simply press and hold the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster . W ARNING! Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury .
Overdrive Operation The automatic transmission includes an electronically controlled Overdrive (sixth gear). The transmission will automatically shift into Overdrive if the following con- ditions are present: • The shift lever is in the DRIVE position.
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a differ ence in the surface traction under the front (driving) wheels.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will r equire extra caution to ensure 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! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle. • Determine the condition of the road or the path that is under water and if there are any obstacles in the way before driving through the 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.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage your power steering components. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty .
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 automatic transmission is placed in gear , the “Brake W arning Light” will flash.
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.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system operates with a separate computer to modulate hydraulic pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The Anti-Lock Brake System cannot prevent colli- sions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely , or hydroplaning.
.
your speed and driving to the prevailing r oad conditions, and do not switch off the ESC or TCS. W ARNING! • The TCS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. • The TCS cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydro- planing.
W ARNING! • The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys- ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. • The BAS cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! The Electronic Stability Control System (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents, including those resulting from exces- sive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
When in the “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion of ESC, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” will be illuminated. When in the “Partial Off” mode, ESC will operate without engine torque manage- ment.
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 turn off with the engine running.
T railer Sway Control (TSC) TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces- sively swaying trailer and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway . The system may reduce engine power and apply the brake of the appro- priate wheel(s) to counteract the sway of the trailer .
HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in or der for HSA to activate: • V ehicle must be stopped. • V ehicle must be on a 6% (approximate) grade or greater hill. • Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle back- ing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following steps: NOTE: Y ou must complete Steps 1 through 8 within 90 seconds. 1. Center the steering wheel (front wheels pointing straight forward). 2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. 3. Apply the parking brake.
W ARNING! • If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer , your trailer brakes may be activated and deactivated with the brake switch. If so, when the brake pedal is released, there may not be enough brake pressure to hold the vehicle and trailer on a hill and this could cause a collision with another vehicle or object behind you.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings 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.
• T emporary spare tires are designed for temporary emergency use only . T emporary high pressur e com- pact spare tires have the letter “T” or “S” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.
EXAMPLE: 65 = Aspect ratio in percent (%) – Ratio of section height to section width of tire 10.5 = Section width in inches (in) R = Construction code – ⬙ R ⬙ means radial construction – ⬙.
EXAMPLE: Load Identification: ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Absence of any text on the sidewall of the tire indicates a Standard Load (SL) tire Extra Load (XL) = Extra load (or reinfor ced) tire Light Load .
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire T erminology And Definitions T erm Definition B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door . Cold T ire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressur e is defined as the tire pressur e after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.

5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 509 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 vehicle 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 across the tir e tread.
At least once a month: • Check and adjust tire pressure with a good quality pocket-type pressur e gauge. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. T ires may look properly inflated even when they ar e under- inflated. • Inspect tires for signs of tire wear or visible damage.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds and 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 pressur e is very important.
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tir e repairs and additional information. Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced imme- diately with another Run Flat tire of identical size and service description (Load Index and Speed Code).
If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Spare Tires — If Equipped NOTE: For vehicles equipped with TIREFIT instead of a spare tire, please refer to “TIREFIT KIT” in “What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information.
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 spare tire. Do not install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
W ARNING! Limited-use spares are for emergency use only . In- stallation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than the speed listed on the limit-use spare wheel.
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 tread depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
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.
TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES) Use of traction devices requir e sufficient tire-to-body clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard against damage: • T raction device must be of proper size for the tire, as recommended by the traction device manufacturer .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Install device as tightly as possible and then re- tighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km). • Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h). • Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
The suggested r otation method is the “r earward 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 tire pressure falls below the low pressur e warning threshold for any reason, including low temperature effects, or natural air pressure loss through the tire.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equip- ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressur e in the tire. Base System The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressur e lev- els.
NOTE: The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to r eceive this infor - mation. The “T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds, and r emain on solid when a system fault is detected.
• After driving for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the “T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
TPMS Low Pressure W arnings The “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will illumi- nate in the instrument cluster , and an audible chime will be activated when one or mor e of the four active road tire pressur es are low .
message will not be present, and a pressur e value will be displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can occur by any of the following scenarios: • Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
The TPM sensors are regulated under one of the follow- ing licenses: United States MRXC4W4MA4 Canada 2546A-C4W4MA4 FUEL REQUIREMENTS 3.6L Engine This engine is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when us- ing high-quality unleaded “regular” gaso- line having an octane rating of 87.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country r equire the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline.” Reformulated gasoline contain oxygenates and are spe- cifically blended to r educe vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel V ehicles Non-Flex Fuel V ehicles (FFV) are compatible with gasoline containing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher ethanol content may void the New V ehicle Limited W arranty . If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms: • Operate in a lean mode.
Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is required to contain ef fective detergent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and they would result in additional cost. Therefor e, you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
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.
FLEXIBLE FUEL — IF EQUIPPED E-85 General Information The information in this section is for Flexible Fuel ve- hicles only . These vehicles can be identified by a unique fuel filler door label that states Ethanol (E-85) or Un- leaded Gasoline Only . This section only covers those subjects that are unique to these vehicles.
Ethanol Fuel (E-85) E-85 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.
For best results, a refueling pattern that avoids alternat- ing between E-85 and unleaded gasoline is recom- mended. When you do switch fuel types it is recommended that: • Y ou do not add less than 5 gallons (19 Liters) when refueling. • Y ou drive the vehicle immediately after r efueling for at least 5 miles (8 km).
Starting The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the range of 0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), you may experience an increase in the time it takes for your engine to start, and a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations) until the engine is fully warmed up.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle. NOTE: The driver’s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and may cause the MIL to turn on.
VEHICLE LOADING As requir ed by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door or B-Pillar . If seats are r emoved for carrying cargo, do not exceed the specified GVWR and GA WR.
W ARNING! Because the front wheels steer the vehicle, 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 a collision.
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 r elated 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, car go and tongue weight.
Frontal Area The fr ontal ar ea is the maximum height multiplied by the maximum width of the front of a trailer . T railer Sway Control The trailer sway control can be a mechanical telescoping link th.
T railer sway control and a weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier T ongue W eights (TW) and may be r equired depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/loading to comply with Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) requirements.
T railer T owing W eights (Maximum T railer W eight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/ T ransmission GCWR (Gross Combined W eight Rating) Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer W eight) Max.
NOTE: The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight refer enced on the T ire and Loading Information placar d. Refer to “T ire Safety Information” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to a collision. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T otal weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the following four ratings are not exceeded: 1. GVWR 2. GTW 3. GA WR 4. T ongue weight rating for the trailer hitch uti- lized. T owing Requirements — T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
T owing Requirements — T railer Brakes • Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer . This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury . • An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes.
T owing Requirements — T railer Lights And W iring Whenever you pull a trailer , r egardless of the trailer size, stoplights and turn signals on the trailer are requir ed for motoring safety . The T railer T ow Package may include a four- and seven- pin wiring harness.
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 gear can be selected when towing. However , if frequent shifting occurs while in DRIVE, use the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control to select a lower gear range.
If you REGULARL Y tow a trailer for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation, then change the trans- mission fluid and filter as specified for “police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer towing.” Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.
