SENTR Y KEY — IF EQUIPPED The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho- rized operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine. The system will shut the engine off after two (2) seconds of running if an invalid key is used to start the vehicle.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electr onics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
Repeat this procedur e to program up to 8 keys. If you do not have a programmed sentry key , contact your dealer for details. General Information The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference.
Automatic T ransaxle Ignition Interlock System This system prevents the key fr om being removed unless the shift lever is in P ARK. It also prevents shifting out of P ARK unless the key is in the ACC, or ON positions, and the brake pedal is depressed.
W ARNING! When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal inju- ries and death.

T o set the alarm: 1. Remove the keys from the ignition switch and get out of the vehicle. 2. Lock the door using either the door key , power door lock switch, or the Keyless Entry T ransmitter and close all doors. 3. The indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds.
LIFTGA TE NOTE: The key that is used to start the vehicle is also used to lock or unlock the doors and open the liftgate. T o unlock the liftgate, insert the key into the lock and turn to the right (manual lock models only).
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
Auto Down The driver’s window switch has an Auto Down feature. Push the window switch past the first detent, release, and the window will go down automatically . T o cancel the Auto Down movement, operate the switch in either the up or down direction and r elease the switch.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Occupant Classifi- cation System (OCS) there will be a Passenger Airbag Disabled (P AD) Indicator Light located on the center of the instrument panel.
W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
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 as well.
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 pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
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.
6. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 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.
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 .
belt. The driver should also instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. Once the warning is triggered, the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt W arning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size. Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to ⬙ Occupant Classification System ⬙ in this section).
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts and pretensioners, fr ont airbags work with the driver inflatable knee blocker and the integrated passenger knee blocker (non-inflatable) to provide im- proved pr otection for the driver and front passenger .
If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the fr ont passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. Refer to the section on Child Restraint. Y ou should read the instructions pr ovided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it pr operly .
• Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Front Seat Mounted Side Airbags (If equipped) • Side Curtain Airbags • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting W iring • Kne.
During a moderate-to-severe r ear impact the ORC may deploy the seat belt pretensioners alone. Also, the ORC turns on the AIRBAG warn- ing light and P AD indicator light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on.

sensors, a fault will occur which turns on both the P AD Indicator Light and the Airbag W arning Light. Once the lodged object is removed, the fault will be automatically cleared after a short period of time.
The ORC Module monitors the readiness of the elec- tronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON positions. These include all of the items previously mentioned. In moderate to severe side collisions, the side airbag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered, releasing a quantity of nontoxic gas.
• Do not modify the front seat center console or center position seat in any way . • Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle.
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and fr ont passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold.
• T urns on the interior lamps which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlocks the doors automatically Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it.
Airbag 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 maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
(usually the vehicle owner or lessee) before accessing the electronic data stor ed, unless order ed to download data by a court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy of the data will be pr ovided to the custodial entity upon request.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
infant carriers do, so they can be used rearwar d-facing by children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs. (9 kg) but are less than one year old. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, befor e you buy it.
• Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufactur er’s directions. • When your child restraint is not in use, secur e it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it fr om the vehicle. Don’t leave it loose in the vehicle.
restraints in adjacent r ear seating positions, you can use the LA TCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for the outboard position, but you must use the vehicle’s seat belt at the center position. If your child restraints ar e not LA TCH-compatible, you can only install the child re- straints using the vehicle’s seat belts.
reach. If the buckled seat belt interfer es with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inquisitive child.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not requir ed for the engine in your new 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.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling contr ols to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.
Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil or other fluid leaks.

ratio. After Autostick is activated, the manual ratio selected is displayed in the transmission ratio display and tipping the lever to the (+) or (-) direction will cause an upshift or downshift by one ratio. Autostick is deactivated: • By holding the lever to (+) momentarily .
Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depr ess the accelera- tor pedal. Use each gear in numerical order - do not skip a gear . Be sure the transaxle is in FIRST gear , (not THIRD), when starting from a standing position.
Downshifting Proper downshifting will impr ove fuel economy and prolong engine life. CAUTION! If you skip more than one gear while downshifting or downshift at too high a vehicle speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch. T o maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descending a steep grade.
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition on, the Brake Light in the instrument cluster will come on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is on. It does not show the degree of brake application. If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle is moving, a chime will sound to alert the driver .
W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
malfunction is caused by an internal leak, as the brake fluid in the master cylinder drops, the brake warning indicator will light. W ARNING! Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger- ous. A significant decrease in braking performance or vehicle stability during braking may occur .
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased 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 interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y 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.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
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 carry a load corr esponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
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 date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressure is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
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.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
232 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
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 someone.
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 combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.

sufficiently low enough to turn ON the “T ire Pr essure Monitoring Light”. Driving the vehicle may cause the tire pressur e to rise to approximately 30 psi (207 kPa), but the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring Light” will still be ON.
Display Settings • Y our system can be set to display pressur e units in PSI, kPa, or BAR. NOTE: These display settings may not be available due to Regulatory Authorities.
The EVIC will display the “CHECK TPM SYSTEM” message for 3 seconds. This text message is then followed by a graphic, with “- -“ displayed for the pressur e value indicating which of the T ire Pressur e Monitoring Sen- sor(s) is not being received.
“CHECK TPM SYSTEM” text message will be display in the EVIC, and the graphic display will have “- -“ in place of the pressur e value of the spare tir e location. Once the original road tir e has been properly repair ed, and put back onto the vehicle in place of the compact spare tir e.
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failur e.
TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains ar e not recom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tir es during winter .
Follow the recommended tir e rotation frequency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” Section of this manual. More fr equent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected befor e rotating.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country r equire the use of cleaner burning gasoline referr ed to as “Reformulated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates, and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
content of gasoline may not be indicated on the pump, you should ask your gasoline retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains MMT . It is even more important to look for gasolines without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States.
• The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting fr om the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the manufactur er .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door , on the left rear quarter panel of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and will cause the malfunction indi- cator light to turn on.
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.
TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer car efully re- view this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
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 ongue W eight (TW) The downward for ce exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer .

T urn OFF the ignition. W ARNING! Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indicated in step 3. 3. There ar e two front jacking locations and two rear jacking locations on each side of the body . The front locations are outlined by two triangular cutouts, the r ear ones by two rectangular cutouts.
W ARNING! T o avoid possible personal injury , handle the wheel covers with care to avoid contact with any sharp edges. NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the wheel nuts. When reinstalling original wheel, pr operly align the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto the wheel, then install the wheel nuts.
JUMP-ST ARTING PROCEDURES DUE TO A LOW BA TTER Y W ARNING! T ake care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. Y ou can be hurt by the fan. W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
3. T urn off the heater , radio and all unnecessary electrical loads. 4. Remove the air intake duct covering the battery , using the two finger screws on the cover . 5. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery .
8. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery , let the engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery . 9. When removing the jumper cables, r everse the se- quence exactly . Be careful of the moving belts and fan.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE With Ignition Key Automatic And Manual T ransaxle Front-wheel-drive vehicles must have the fr ont wheels elevated; all-wheel-drive vehicles must be hauled on a flatbed truck.
Without The Ignition Key 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 r ear wheels are raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to pr event dam- age to the vehicle.
