The liftgate will not open manually if the gear selector is moved out of the P ARK position or the vehicle speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
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.
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 str eet. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the front seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt 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.
activated. T o reset this featur e you must let all of the belt webbing return into the r etractor . Y ou will not be able to pull out more webbing until all of the webbing has been returned back into the r etractor .

if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). BeltAlert Programming The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be en- abled .
Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. However , the belt will still retract to r emove slack in the shoulder belt. Use The Automatic Locking Mode any time a child safety seat is installed in a seating position that has a seat belt with this feature.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase 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.
This vehicle may also be equipped with side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
NOTE: Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the proper performance of the curtain airbags. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger .
8. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbags time to inflate. 9. If your vehicle has side curtain airbags do not lean against the door , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door .
• Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemental Side Curtain Airbags above Side W in- dows (if equipped) • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • .
W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position every- one for the best interaction with the front airbag.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Enhanced Accident Response Feature If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically .
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs.

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing dir ection are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year .
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper tether straps from the child r estraint to the vehicle structur e. LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems ar e now avail- able.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system.

T ighten webbing. T o release, simply unbuckle the seat belt by depressing the button, allowing the webbing to retract into the r etractor . In the rear seat, you may have tr ouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
CAUTION! Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result. NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the br eak-in and not interpreted as an indication of dif ficulty .
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. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor , torn webbing, etc. If there is any question r egarding belt or retractor condition, r eplace the belt.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Automatic T ransmission The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL or P ARK position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear . Normal Starting Normal Starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal.
W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cord. The engine block heater cord is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” 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 re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
The selector lever is automatically locked while in the P (Park) position. T o move the selector lever out of the P (Park) position, the brake pedal must be firmly depressed before the shift lock will r elease. Shift the selector lever to the desired position only when the engine is idling normally and the brake pedal is applied.
Brake/T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift interlock system (BTSI) that holds the selector lever in the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
5 Speed Automatic T ransmission Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) (or from P or R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake when moving the selector lever between these gears.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the selector lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park) move the lever all the way forward until it stops, and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
D (Drive) This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and down- shifts and best fuel economy . The transmission automatically upshifts through fifth gear . The D (Drive) position provides optimum driving characteristics under all normal operating conditions.
Delayed Shifts in Cold T emperatures During cold temperature operation, you may notice delayed upshifts depending on engine and transmission temperature as well as vehicle speed. This featur e im- proves warm up time of the engine and transmission to achieve maximum efficiency .
times. Follow the reset pr ocedure described under “T em- porary T ransmission Limp Home Mode” in this section. In Permanent Limp Home Mode, P (Park), R (Reverse), and N (Neutral) will continue to operate. Second gear will operate in the D (Drive) shifter position.

partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precau- tions should be observed: 1. Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads ar e slushy . 2. Slow down if road has standing water or puddles.
The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o apply the parking brake, push the parking brake pedal down and then remove your foot fr om the pedal. T o release the parking brake, push down on the parking brake pedal and then release.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capability , the remaining system will still function.
Y ou also may experience the following when the brake system goes into Anti-lock: • The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the stop), • the clicking sound of solenoid valves, • brake pedal pulsations, • and a slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and type and tires must be pr operly inflated to produce accurate signals for the computer . Anti-Lock Brake Light The ABS light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
W ARNING! The ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! The BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevail- ing road conditions. The BAS cannot prevent acci- dents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
Full Of f This mode is intended for off-highway or of f-road use only and should not be used on any public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESP stability featur es are turned off. T o enter the “Full Off” mode, depress and hold the “ESP OFF” button for 5 seconds while the vehicle is stopped with the engine running.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emer - gency evasive maneuver , the ESP system will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for of f-highway or off- road only .
NOTE: • 9 The 9 ESP/TCS Indicator Light 9 and the 9 ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light 9 will turn on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System will be ON even if it was turned off pr eviously .
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.

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.
236 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 results in higher fuel consump- tion.
when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under inflated. 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.
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).
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e 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 tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressure.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions.
Tire Rotation — All Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” as shown in the following diagram.
• The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e if the tire pressur e falls below the low- pressur e warning limit for any reason, including low temperature ef fects.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Base System — If Equipped The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pr essure readings to the Receiver Module.

values flashing. Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate the tires with low pr essure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placar d pressure value.
of a road tir e that has a pressure below the low- pressur e warning limit, the T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale Light will remain ON and a chime will still sound each ignition key cycle. In addition, the EVIC will still display a low-pressur e message and a flash- ing pressur e value in the graphic display .
NOTE: Y ou can change the pressur e units to display in PSI, kP A, or BAR. Refer to “Language,” under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Featur es),” under “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Sec- tion 4 of this manual for details.
Over 40 automobile manufacturers ar ound the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber . Gasolines blended with MMT offer no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT .
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, are not r ecommended. 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 are not the responsibility of the manufactur er .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. Push in on the left side (near the edge) of the fuel filler door to access the fuel filler cap. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). • A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light to turn on.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “Check Gascap” message will display in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• Month Day and Hour of Manufacture (MDH) The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the V ehicle Identification Number (VIN). Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, and cargo.
Loading T o load your vehicle properly , first figure out its empty weight, axle by axle and side by side. Store heavier items down low and be sure you distribute their weight as evenly as possible.
NOTE: Refer to the “V ehicle Certification Label” at- tached to the rear of the driver’s door for your vehicle’s GVWR and GA WRs. This table is only an example. 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.
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) T ongue weight (TW) is the downward for ce exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer .
W ARNING! • An improperly adjusted W eight Distributing Hitch system may reduce handling, stability , braking performance, and could result in an acci- dent.
T railer Hitch Classification Y our vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional T railer T ow Prep Package.
Engine/T ransmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Max. T ongue Wt. 6.1L Automatic 40 SQ. FT . (3.72 square meters) Up to 2 persons & Lug- gage 3,800 lbs (1724 kg) 380 lbs (172 kg) 40 SQ. FT . (3.72 square meters) Up to 3 persons & Lug- gage 3,000 lbs (1361 kg) 300 lbs (136 kg) 40 SQ.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. • The weight of the driver and all passengers.
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.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap may also turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
b. The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station. If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility .
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Only do service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent me- chanic.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affect the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to see if any apply to you.
NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Engine Oil Selection For best performance and maximum protection under all t.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil and Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can pr esent a problem to the environment.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter For normal driving conditions, inspect and replace the engine air cleaner filter at the intervals shown on Sched- ule “A.” For vehicles driven frequently in dusty or under severe conditions, inspect and r eplace the engine air cleaner filter at the intervals shown on Schedule “B.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
• Do not try to start engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. • Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when diagnostic testing, or for prolonged periods during very r ough idling or malfunctioning operating conditions.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
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.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in this manual for the recommended air conditioning filter replacement intervals. Power Steering — Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar t Lock Cylinder Lubricant or equivalent directly into the lock cylinder .
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system. Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, .
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush, and Refill The system should be drained, flushed, and refilled at the intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedule. If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles (160 000 km) before r eplacement. T o prevent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant 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.
humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor- ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot coolant to enter the radiator . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
