A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Fob with Integrated Key and a W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the double-sided integrated key into the igni- tion switch with either side up.
Fob with Integrated Key The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) operates the igni- tion switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a valet key , which stores in the r ear of the Fob. The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead.
Ignition Key Removal Place the shift lever in P ARK. T urn the key to the LOCK position and then remove the key . NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets will r emain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position.
NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC position. SENTR Y KEY 姞 IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer system prevents unautho- rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated.
• Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional RKE transmit- ters, or any other transponder-equipped components on the same key chain will not cause a fault unless the additional part is physically held against the RKE transmitter being used to start the vehicle.
Customer Key Programming If you have two valid RKE transmitters with integrated keys, you can program new RKE transmitters to the system by performing the following procedur e: 1. Insert the first valid integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds.
General Information The Sentry Key 威 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. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interfer ence that may cause undes- ired operation.
T o Disarm the System Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch and turn the key to the ON position. NOTE: • The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the system.
ILLUMINA TED ENTRY SYSTEM The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open any door . The lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is turned ON from the LOCK position.
T o Unlock the Doors Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.

NOTE: • The interior lights will turn off if you turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position while the Panic Alarm is activated. However , the exterior lights and horn will remain on.
1. Battery access is through a door located on the rear of the fob. Insert a small, flat blade screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the access door . 2. Remove and replace the batteries. A void touching the new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration.
If your transmitter fails to operate from a normal dis- tance, check for these two conditions: 1. A weak battery in the transmitter . The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , and some mobile or CB radios.
T o Enter Remote Start Mode Press and r elease the REMOTE ST AR T button on the RKE transmitter twice, within five sec- onds. The parking lights will flash and the horn will honk twice (if programmed). Then, the engine will start and the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15-minute cycle.
T o T urn Of f the Engine While in Remote Start Mode Press and r elease the REMOTE ST AR T button one time. NOTE: T o avoid inadvertent shut downs, the system will disable the one time press of the REMOTE ST ART button for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote Start request.
W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors before you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle. • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
If you press the power door lock switch while the key is in the ignition, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you fr om acciden- tally locking the key in the vehicle. Removing the key or closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
2. The transmission was in gear and the vehicle speed returned to 0 mph (0 km/h). 3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL or P ARK. 4. The driver door is opened.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the opposite rear door . NOTE: When the Child Protection Door Lock system is engaged, the door can be opened only by using the outside door handle even though the inside door lock is in the unlocked position. W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision.
T o Disengage the Child Protection Door Lock System 1. Open the rear door . 2. Insert the tip of the valet key (or alike) into the child lock control and pull it downwar d.
There ar e single window controls on each passenger door trim panel, which operate the passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position. W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch.
T o stop the window from going all the way down during the AUTO-down operation, pull up on the switch briefly . The power window switches will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF . Opening either front door will cancel this featur e.
• Any impact due to rough r oad conditions may trigger the auto-reverse function unexpectedly during auto- closure. If this happens, pull the switch lightly to the first detent and hold to close the window manually . W ARNING! There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed.
Reset Anytime the vehicle battery is disconnected or goes dead, the AUTO-up function will be disabled. T o reactivate the AUTO-up featur e, perform the following procedur e after vehicle power is restor ed: 1.
TRUNK LOCK AND RELEASE The trunk lid can be r eleased from inside the vehicle by pressing the TRUNK RELEASE button located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. NOTE: The transmission must be in P ARK before the switch will operate.
TRUNK SAFETY W ARNING W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape, even if they entered through the rear seat.
and passengers seated next to a window , and the optional supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags. If you will be carrying children too small for adult-size belts, your seat belts also can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. Please pay close attention to the information in this section.
normal conditions. However , in a collision, the belt will lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. 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 seri- ously injured or killed.
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.
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 shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together .
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.
NOTE: When the shoulder belt is adjusted to the full downward position, it will not be at the bottom of the slot in the T rim Panel. This is normal and the intended lowest position. As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average you will prefer a higher position.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate. 4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing.
BeltAlert 威 Programming The BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by performing the following steps: NOTE: Chrysler LLC does not recommend deactivating the BeltAlert 威 . 1. W ith all doors closed, and the ignition switch in any position except ON or ST AR T , buckle the driver’s seat belt.
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.
dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not requir ed, remove the ex- tender and store it. W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. 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 .
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open to allow airbag deployment. If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat- mounted side airbags, they are marked with an SRS label sewn into the outboard side of the seat.
W ARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags, do not use acces- sory seat covers or place objects between you and the seat airbags; the performance could be ad- versely affected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury .
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 .
4. 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 r estraint.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Side Remote Acceleration Sensors (if equipped) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Ai.
• The ORC also monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON positions. These include all of the items listed above except the knee bolster , the instru- ment panel, and the steering wheel and column.
their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 to 70 ms. This is about half of the time that it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and fr ont passenger . The driver’s front airbag gas is vented thr ough vent holes in the sides of the airbag.
between the occupant and the door . The airbag inflates at a very high speed and with enough force to injur e you if you are not belted and seated pr operly , or if items are positioned in the ar ea where the fr ont seat-mounted side airbag inflates. This especially ap- plies to children.
If a Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the ORC detects a moderate to severe collision to help r estrain the driver and front passenger and then to immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not sever e enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
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 System In the event of an impac.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Y ou need proper knee impact protection in a collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equipment on or behind the knee impact bolster . • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has airbags.
NOTE: 1. A near -deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indica- tive of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag deployment. 2. Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recor ded (e.g.
2. Used in defense of litigation involving a Chrysler LLC product. 3. Requested by police under a legal warrant. 4. Otherwise required by law . Data parameters that may be recor ded: • Diagnostic tr.
Children 12 years and younger should ride pr operly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. Accor ding to crash statistics, children ar e safer when properly r estrained in the rear seats rather than in the fr ont. W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle.
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. Both types of child restraints ar e held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system.
Children T oo Large for Booster Seats Children who ar e large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
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 sur e that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr ofit kits. Y ou are ur ged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.
Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that are pr ovided with the child restraint system. The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seatback and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
NOTE: • Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap. • When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints ar e stowed and out of reach of childr en.
Seat belts with an automatic locking retractor have a distinctive label on the seat belt webbing. The seat belt must be in the Automatic Locking mode in order to enable a child restraint to be tightly installed. Refer to “Automatic Locking Mode” in this section.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA. 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 seri- ously injured or killed.
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. If you are r equired to drive with the tr unk open, make sure that all windows ar e closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set at high speed.

• The electronically-contr olled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electr onics are self-calibrating. Therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt or soft until after the break-in period. This is a normal condition, and pr e- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles.
during normal operation in DRIVE position. After the transmission cools down, it will return to normal operation. Brake/T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system that holds the shift lever in the P ARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
5-Speed Automatic T ransmission Shifting from DRIVE to P ARK or REVERSE should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when moving the shift lever between these gears.
W ARNING! Never use P ARK position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmission damage. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn of f the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions.
T emporary T ransmission Limp Home Mode The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode. If vehicle acceleration worsens, or the transmission no longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating in the Limp Home Mode.
Permanent T ransmission Limp Home Mode Permanent Limp Home Mode will be activated if the transmission enters temporary Limp Home Mode three times. Follow the reset pr ocedure described under “T em- porary T ransmission Limp Home Mode” in this section.
Y ou can shift in or out of the Autostick 威 mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. When you wish to engage Autostick 威 , simply move the shift lever to the right (D+) or left (D-) while in the DRIVE position. The transmission will remain in the curr ent gear until an upshift or downshift is chosen.
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet mud, loose sand, etc.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
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/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (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 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.
Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
When parking on a hill, it is important to apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mecha- nism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
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. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (1 1 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises. These noises ar e the system per- forming its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system is working properly . This self check occurs each time the vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (1 1 km/h).
W ARNING! (Continued) • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system commonly r eferred to as ESP . This system includes the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), the TCS (T raction Control System), the BAS (Brake Assist System), and the ESP (Electr onic Stability Program).
BAS (Brake Assist System) This system complements the ABS by optimizing the vehicle braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake appli- cation and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer and help the vehicle maintain the desired path. The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle.
The ESP system has thr ee available operating modes: ESP On This is the normal operating mode for the ESP . Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. The ESP should only be turned OFF for specific r easons as noted in the following paragraphs.
illuminate, and the ⬙ ESP OFF ⬙ message will display in the vehicle odometer . Press and r elease the TRIP ODOM- ETER button located on the instrument cluster to clear this message. The “ESP OFF” message may appear in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
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: • The ESP/TCS Indicator Light and the ESP/BAS Mal- function Indicator Light 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 previously .
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 designa- tion. Example: 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 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 ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the 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 pressur e is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar . T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard te.
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.
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]). 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
296 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.
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 pr essures can cause uneven wear pat- terns to develop across the tir e tread.
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.
loading may be requir ed for high-speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
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.
Many states have laws requiring tir e replacement at this point. 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.
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. Bro- ken chains can cause serious damage.
Always use the lower suggested operating speed if both the chain manufacturer and vehicle manufactur er sug- gest a maximum speed. This notice applies to all chain traction devices, including link and cable (radial) chains. SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tir es during the winter .
Tire Rotation — Standard T ires The suggested rotation method is the “side-to-side” as shown in the following diagram. 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.
will decrease. T ire pr essure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pr essure. This is defined as the tir e pressur e after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1 km) after a thr ee hour period.
TPM T elltale Light will still be ON. In this situation, the TPM T elltale Light will turn OFF only after the tires are inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold placar d pres- sure value. CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tir e mainte- nance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to maintain correct tir e pressur e using an accurate tire pr essure gauge, even if under-inflation has not r eached the level to trigger illumination of the TPM T elltale Light.
possible, check the inflation pressur e of each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s r ecom- mended cold placard pr essure value. Once the system receives the updated tir e pressur es, the system will automatically update and the TPM T elltale Light will turn off.
2. If you install the full size spare in place of a road tir e that has a pressur e below the low-pressur e warning limit, upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the TPM T elltale Light will turn ON.
Premium 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 r eceiver module.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The TPM T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pr essure is low in one or mor e of the four active road tir es.
turn off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. Check TPMS W arning If a system fault is detected, the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid.
1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPM sensors. 2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio wave signals. 3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid. In addition, the EVIC will display a ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ message for three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressur e value.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 6.1L Engine The 6.1L engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and pr ovide excel- lent fuel economy and performance when using high-quality premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher . Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
T o fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fueled once with E-85 perform the following: • drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer) • change the engine oil and oil filter • disconnect and reconnect the battery to r eset the engine controller memory More extensive r epairs will be requir ed for prolonged exposure to E-85 fuel.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
stopped in an open area with the engine r unning for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fr esh, outside air into the vehicle. • Guard against carbon monoxide with pr oper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emissions 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 (MIL) 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) (if equipped).
• Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) rear • V ehicle Identification Number (VIN) • T ype of V ehicle • Month Day and Hour of Manufacture (MDH) The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the VIN. Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle.
Figure out the weight on the fr ont and rear of the vehicle separately . It is important that you distribute the load evenly over the front and r ear axles. Overloading can cause potential safety hazards and shorten useful service life. Heavier axles or suspension components do not necessarily increase the vehicle’s GVWR.

damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for br oken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. W ARNING! 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.
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. The fan is tempera- ture controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush, and Refill If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals.
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) coolant that allows extended mainte- nance intervals. This engine coolant (antifreeze) can be used up to five years or 102,000 miles (170 000 km) before replacement.
Cooling System Pressure Cap The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to ensur e that engine coolant (antifreeze) will r eturn to the radiator from the coolant recovery bottle. The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
Disposal of Used Coolant Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance r equiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate. • Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check engine coolant (antifreeze) fr eeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle.
Brake System In order to assur e brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 for proper maintenance intervals. W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.
W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. • Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point, or is unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking.
CAUTION! (Continued) • The fluid level is preset at the factory and it does not require adjustment under normal operating conditions. If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your authorized dealer immediately . Severe damage to the transmission may occur .
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care r equirements vary accor ding to geo- graphic locations and usage.
