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 the seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
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 seat, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upwar d or downward to position the belt away from your neck. Push the anchorage button to release the anchorage, and move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
Lap/ Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions With A Mini-Latch And Buckle A three point seatbelt with a mini-latch and buckle, allows the shoulder belt to detach from the lower anchor when the seat is folded. The mini-buckle and shoulder belt can then be stored out of the way in the right side trim panel for added convenience.
2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull the belt over the seat. 3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the right head restraint. 4. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the mini- latch plate into the mini-buckle until you hear a “click.” 5.
7. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
10. T o disengage the mini-latch from the mini-buckle for storage, insert the regular latch plate into the black button on the top of the mini-buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully .
When T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode Use the Automatic Locking Mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in a seating position that has a belt with this feature. Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the rear seat.
to retract completely in this case and then carefully pull out only the amount of webbing necessary to comfort- ably wrap around the occupants mid-section.
W ARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt assembly Automatic Locking Re- tractor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt func- tion is not working properly when checked ac- cording to the procedures in the Service Manual.
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.
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.
BeltAlert 威 can be r eactivated by repeating this pr ocedure. NOTE: Although BeltAlert 威 has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — Airbags This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s Advanced Front Air- bag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on the severity and type of collision.
• Instrument Panel • Knee Impact Bolster • Driver Advanced Front Airbag • Passenger Advanced Front Airbag • Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (SAB) • Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatab.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually . Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags may no longer be functional. The protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflat- ing.
deploys independently , that is a left side impact deploys the left airbag only and a right-side impact deploys only the right airbag. Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) 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.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag: 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. W ARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Airbag.
4. Do not lean against the door or window . If your vehicle has side airbags, and deployment occurs, the side airbags will inflate forcefully into the space be- tween you and the door . 5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center .
ORC deploys the Advanced Front Airbags, Supplemental Driver Side Knee Airbag, SABIC airbags, Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags — if equipped, and fr ont seat belt pretensioners — if equipped, as required, depending on the severity and type of impact.
in the ACC position, or not in the ignition, the airbag system is not on and the airbags will not inflate. The ORC contains a backup power supply system that may deploy the airbags even if the battery loses power or it becomes disconnected prior to deployment.
separate and fold out of the way as the airbags inflate to their full size. The airbags fully inflate in about 50 to 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The airbags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger .
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units During collisions where the impact is confined to a particular area of the side of the vehicle, the ORC may deploy the SABIC airbags, depending on the severity and type of collision. In these events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC only on the impact side of the vehicle.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is turned off. • T urn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlock the doors automatically .
Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have de- ployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you.
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 are not working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The airbags may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly check the fuse block for blown fuses.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (regar dless of initiative), the com- pany or its designated representative will first obtain permission of the appropriate custo.
• Pedal position • And other parameters depending on vehicle configuration Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces requir e that small childr en ride in proper restraint systems.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts r ecommend that children ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing infant carriers and convertible child seats.
• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. • The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
are older than one year . These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to ⬙ LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) ⬙ .
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) W ARNING! Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be in- stalled in the outboard positions only . If you are installing LA TCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent rear seat- ing positions, you can use the LA TCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for the outboar d position, but you must use the vehicle’s seat belt at the center position.
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. Not all child r estraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that are provided with the child restraint system.
First loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can mor e easily attach the hook or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS).
2. Finally , pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally , and pull it tight if necessary .
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child r estraint to the tether anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer ’s instructions. 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 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.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons.
and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then r epeat the “Normal Starting” procedure. W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
for no more than 15 seconds. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition key in the ON position, release the accelerator pedal and repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure. W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED Five–Speed Manual T ransmission W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should al- ways be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.
For most city driving, you will find it easier to use only the lower gears. For steady highway driving with light accelerations, fifth gear is recommended. Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, and never try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged.
T o maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to second or first gear when descending a steep grade. When turning a corner or driving up a steep grade, downshift early so that the engine will not be overburdened.
NOTE: Y ou MUST pr ess and hold the brake pedal down while shifting 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. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the transmission will not shift out of P ARK. Battery power is required to release the brake/transmission interlock system. There is a removable plug in the right side of the shifter housing that allows you to insert your finger to override the system.
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 vehicle into P ARK, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
CAUTION! Before moving the shift lever out of P ARK, you must turn the ignition from LOCK to ON so the steering wheel and shift lever are released. Otherwise, dam- age to the steering column or shift lever could result. Y ou must also press the brake pedal.
AutoStick 威 operation is activated in the DRIVE position by moving the shift lever side-to-side. Moving the shift lever to the (+) side will activate AutoStick 威 and shift up to the next higher manual ratio, unless you are already operating in or near Overdrive, in which case sixth gear ratio will be selected.
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. This phenomenon occurs when there is a dif ference 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 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 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! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. • Do not leave the key in the ignition switch. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident. Driving with your foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear , and possible brake damage. Y ou would not have your full braking capacity in an emergency .
W ARNING! • Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer .
If the “ABS W arning Light” is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restor e the benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “ABS W arning Light” does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the bulb repair ed as soon as possible.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains sophis- ticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This in- terference can cause possible loss of Anti-Lock brak- ing capability .
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. T o receive the benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressur e during the stopping sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired.
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.
Disabling/Enabling HSA If you wish to turn on or off the HSA system, it can be done using the Customer Programmable Features in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Un- derstanding Y our Instrument Panel” for further informa- tion.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor- rects for over-steering or under-steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the over-steering or under-steering condi- tion.
W ARNING! (Continued) • ESC cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
Full On This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started the ESC system will be in this “On” mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific reasons as noted below .
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 ires designed to this standard have the letter “T” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards and it begins with the tire diameter molded into the sidewall.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can ca.
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 ir es 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 a structural member of the body located between the front and rear door (of a four-door vehicle) running from the sill to the roof.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire inflation pressur e is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar . T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tell.
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . 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]).
5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 329 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 across the tire tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
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 indica- tors, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
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.
TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains are not recom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during W inter .
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper mainte- nance intervals. More frequent rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed. The suggested rotation method is shown in the following diagram.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if the tire pressure falls below the low-pressur e warning limit for any reason, including low temperatur e effects, or natural pressure loss through the tire.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressur e, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in the tire. Base System This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the instrument cluster . The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev- els.
fault is detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat providing the system fault still exists. The T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will turn off when the fault condition no longer exists.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update automatically and the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tires.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will illumi- nate in the instrument cluster and an audible chime will be activated when one or more of the four active road tir e pressur es are low . The audible chime will sound once every ignition cycle for each condition that it detects.
graphic display of the pressur e value(s) will stop flash- ing, and the T ire Pressur e Monitoring Light will extin- guish once the updated tire pr essure(s) have been re- ceived. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) to receive this information.
will be displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can occur with any of the following scenarios: 1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPM sensors. 2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update automatically and the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tires.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling and hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline (with the ap- propriate octane rating for your engine) before consider- ing service for the vehicle.
E85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel V ehicles Non-FFV vehicles are compatible with gasoline contain- ing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher ethanol content may void the vehicle’s warranty .
It is even more important to look for gasoline without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformu- lated gasoline. Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective detergent additives.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. Carbon Monoxide Warnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: (Continued) W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not inhale exhaust gases.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is 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. After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door .
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose or improperly installed, a “gASCAP” message will be displayed in the Odometer/T rip Odom- eter in the instrument cluster .
Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, and cargo. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR. T ire Size The tire size on the V ehicle Certification Label repr esents the actual tire size on your vehicle.
Overloading can cause potential safety hazards and shorten useful service life. Heavier suspension compo- nents do not necessarily increase the vehicle’s GVWR. Loading T o load your vehicle properly , first figure out its empty weight. Store heavier items down low and be sure you distribute their weight as evenly as possible.
exceed the GVWR. Refer to “V ehicle Loading/V ehicle Certification Label” in “Starting and Operating” for further information. Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The GTW is the weight of the trailer.
Frontal Area The fr ontal 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 is a telescoping link that can be insta.
Installing A T railer Hitch NOTE: If you install a trailer hitch after you purchase the vehicle, you must install a MOP AR 威 or equivalent spare tire hold down kit. The kit will allow you to properly secure the spare tire and jack assembly . W ARNING! Do not operate the vehicle without a properly se- cured tire and jack assembly .
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/T ransmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Max. T ongue Wt. (See Note) 2.
T railer And T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the fr ont of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the GTW on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the r ear can cause the trailer to sway severely from side-to-side which will cause loss of con- trol of vehicle and trailer .
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 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 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.

CAUTION! Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the pointer rises to the H (red) mark, the instrument cluster will sound a chime. When safe, pull over and stop the vehicle with the engine at idle. T urn off the air conditioning and wait until the pointer drops back into the normal range.
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, avoiding 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.
Jacking Instructions W ARNING! Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: • Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
1. Remove the scissors jack and lug wrench from the spare wheel as an assembly . T urn the jack scr ew to the left to loosen the lug wrench and remove the wrench from the jack assembly . 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.
3. There are two front jacking locations and two r ear jacking locations on each side of the body . The front locations are outlined by two triangular cutouts, the rear ones by two rectangular cutouts. For vehicles equipped with plastic trim, the plastic has been cut away to expose the jacking locations in the body .
CAUTION! Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly . W ARNING! T o avoid possible personal injury , handle the wheel covers with care to avoid contact with any sharp edges.
9. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is free. Reassemble the lug wr ench to the jack assembly and stow it in the spare tire area. Secure the assembly using the means provided. W ARNING! A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve- hicle.
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 in the front of the engine compartment below the air intake duct.
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.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery , park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF . W ARNING! Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
W ARNING! Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery . The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury .
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow , it can often be moved by a rocking motion. T urn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area ar ound the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between RE- VERSE and 1st gear .
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE With Ignition Key Automatic T ransaxle • Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles can be towed with the front wheels elevated or on a flatbed tr uck (all four wheels off the ground). • All Wheel Drive (A WD) vehicles must be towed on a flatbed truck (all four wheels off the ground).
CAUTION! • If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the ACC position, not in the LOCK position. • Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.

Maintenance-Free Battery Y our vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-fr ee battery . Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic main- tenance required. 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.
CAUTION! • It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked posi- tive (+) and negative (-) and are identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
hood latching components to ensur e proper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the Fall and Spring.
should be checked at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not engine coolant (antifreeze). W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate your ve- hicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. In unusual situations involving grossly malfunctioning engine operation, a scorching odor may suggest severe and abnormal catalyst overheating.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and r efilled with fresh engine coolant (anti- freeze).
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion pro- tection.
Please review these recommendations for using Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolant (antifreeze). When adding engine coolant (antifreeze): • The manufacturer recommends using MOP AR 威 Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Y ear/100,000 Mile Formula HOA T (Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology) or equivalent.
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.
long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month. When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill.
• 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. If r eplacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the correct type thermostat.
when the pads are replaced. However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission , the brake fluid reservoir supplies fluid to both the brake system and the clutch release 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.
Automatic T ransmission (CVT) – If Equipped Selection Of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transmission to assure optimum transmission perfor- mance.
(CVTF+4 威 ). CVTF+4 威 is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives. Manual T ransmission – If Equipped Lubricant Selection Use only the manufacturers recommended transmission fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
The following maintenance r ecommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle. What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings from your vehicle.
CAUTION! • Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces. • Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in damage or removal of paint and decals.
Wheel And Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome-plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. T o remove heavy soil, use MOP AR 威 Wheel Cleaner or select a nonabrasive, non-acidic cleaner .
Y our leather upholstery can be best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp, soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and should be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and MOP AR 威 T otal Clean or equivalent.
not use scrapers or other sharp instruments which may scratch the elements. When cleaning the rearview mirror , spray cleaner on the towel or rag that you are using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the mirror . Instrument Panel Cover The instr ument panel cover has a low glare surface which minimizes reflections on the windshield.
Replace the seat belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly . Dry with a soft cloth. FUSES Integrated Power Module (IPM) The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is located in the engine compartment near the air cleaner assembly .
