position). T o enable the window controls, press and release the window lockout button again (setting it in the up position). Reset It may be necessary at some point in time to reactivate the Auto-up/Auto-down feature. T o do so, perform the following steps: 1.
the rear windows open, then open the fr ont and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunr oof open, adjust the sun- roof opening to minimize the buf feting or open any window .
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. These fumes could injure you and your passengers. Keep the liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle.
• All seat belt systems (except the driver ’s) include Automatic Locking Retractors (ALRs), which lock the seat belt webbing into position by extending the belt all the way out and then adjusting .
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thr own from the vehicle. Seat belts r educe the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
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 .
depress the button above the webbing to r elease the anchorage, then move it up or down to the position that fits you best. 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.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing. Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. The belt will still retract to r emove any slack in the shoulder belt.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the Occupant Re- straint Controller (ORC). Like the airbags, the pr etension- ers are single use items.
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 fr om 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 r ear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism.
4. The AHR fr ont soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or pr oblems 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 or front passenger ’s (if equipped with belt alert) seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicl.
2. T urn the ignition switch to the ON position, (do not start the engine). W ait for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn off and then pr oceed to the next step. 3. Unbuckle the driver’s seat belt, allow the seat belt to retract, and then r e-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three times, ending with the seat belt buckled.
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.
The Advanced Fr ont Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation 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) — If Equipp.
The system includes side impact sensors adjacent to both front and r ear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy the SABIC airbags during impacts that requir e airbag occupant protection.
W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that posi- tion.
If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are pr ovided under ⬙ If Y ou Need Assistance ⬙ . W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
ORC deploys the Advanced Fr ont Airbags, SABIC air- bags — if equipped, Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags — if equipped, and front seat belt pr etensioners — if equipped, as requir ed, 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 fr ont passenger .
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.
• 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 . If a Deployment Occurs The front airbags ar e designed to deflate immediately after deployment.
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.
check the fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to the label located on the inside of the fuse block cover for the proper airbag fuses. See your authorized dealer if the fuse is good.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (r egardless of initiative), the com- pany or its designated repr esentative will first obtain permission of the appropriate cust.
• Pedal position • And other parameters depending on vehicle configuration Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en 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 r earward-facing, infant carriers and convertible child seats.
the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt- positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
3. Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it in the booster seat position. 4. Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly against the seatback. 5. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt. 6. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the seat belt to go around the child’s lap.
8. T o remove the slack fr om the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat belt. 9. T o release the seat belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. W ARNING! Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into position before using the seat.
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.
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchor System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) Y our vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchor system called LA TCH.
All three second-r ow passenger seating positions have lower anchors that are capable of accommodating LA TCH-compatible child seats. Y ou should NEVER in- stall LA TCH-compatible child seats so that two seats share a common lower anchorage.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to follow the manufacturer’s dir ections carefully 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 are pr ovided with the child restraint system.
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchor and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchors.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: • Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head r estraint posts underneath the head restraint. • If necessary , move the seat forward to provide better access to the tether anchor .
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap. 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.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the br eak-in and not inter- preted as an indication of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
W ARNING! (Continued) • On seven passenger models, do not allow a pas- senger to sit in a third row seat with the second row seatback(s) folded flat. In a collision, the passenger could slide underneath the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
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.
they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways. 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of the vehicle. Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside the V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear and uneven wear patterns.

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.
Normal Starting (Tip Start) NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal. Do not press the accelerator . Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
The engine block heater cord is bundled under the hood between the headlight assembly and the T otally Inte- grated Power Module (Fuse Box) on the driver’s side of the vehicle. W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 V olt electrical cord could cause electrocution.
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. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requir es the shift lever to be placed in P ARK prior to rotating the key fob to the LOCK position. The key fob can only be removed fr om the ignition when the ignition is in the LOCK position and once removed the shift lever is locked in P ARK.
Automatic T ransmission Ignition Interlock System This system prevents the key fob fr om being removed unless the shift lever is in P ARK. It also prevents shifting out of P ARK unless the ignition switch is in the ON position and the brake pedal is applied.
When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
NEUTRAL This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with engine running. Engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn of f the ignition to coast down a hill.
“3” (Drive) — Four-Speed T ransmission This range eliminates shifts into “D” (Overdrive). The transmission will operate normally in first, second, and third gear while in this range. The “3” (Drive) range should also be used when descending steep grades to prevent brake system distr ess.

and to the right (+) an upshift. The gear position will display in the instrument cluster on the transmission range indicator . NOTE: In AutoStick 威 mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to the right (+) or left (-).
− If the system detects powertrain overheating, the transmission will revert to the automatic shift mode and remain in that mode until the powertrain cools of f. − If the system detects a problem, it will disable the AutoStick 威 mode and the transmission will return to the automatic mode until the problem is corr ected.
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the front 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! • 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 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.
The foot operated parking brake is located below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o apply the park brake, firmly push the park brake pedal fully . T o release the parking brake, pr ess the park brake pedal a second time and let your foot up as you feel the brake disengage.
difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
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.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
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 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), T raction Control System (TCS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and Electr onic Stability Program (ESP).
These are all normal characteristics of ABS. W ARNING! • The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip- ment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capa- bility .
Anti-Lock Brake Light The Anti-Lock Brake Light monitors the ABS. The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
W ARNING! BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
driving maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as road conditions, leaving the r oad- way , or striking objects or other vehicles. W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions, and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur .
ESP/TCS Indicator Light The ESP/TCS Indicator Light located in the instrument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active.
Full On This is the normal operating mode for ESP . Whenever the vehicle is started the system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific r easons as noted. Refer to “Partial Off” for additional informa- tion.
ESP/BAS W arning Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator for the ESP is com- bined with the BAS indicator . The ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and the ESP/TCS Indicator Light in the instrument cluster both turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
NOTE: The TSC is disabled when the ESP system is in the “Partial Off” mode. W ARNING! • TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recommendations. Refer to ”V e- hicle Loading” and “T railer T owing” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
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.

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 patterns to develop across the tir e 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 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! 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 indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in “What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information. 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 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 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 the winter .
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper mainte- nance intervals. More fr equent rotation is permissible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to r otation being performed. The suggested rotation method is shown in the following diagram.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure if the tire pr essure falls below the low-pr essure warning limit for any reason, including low temperatur e effects and natural pressur e loss through the tir e.
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 us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

A system fault can occur due to any of the following: 1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
T elltale light will turn off, as long as no tire pr essure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es. 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.
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 placard pr essure value.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale light will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
T elltale light will remain on and a chime will sound. In addition, the graphic in the EVIC will still display a flashing pressur e value. 3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the TPMS T elltale light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid.
The tire pr essure sensors ar e covered under one of the following licenses: United States ..................... KR5S120123 Canada ....................
Over 40 auto manufacturers worldwide have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifications (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, performance, and durability for your vehicle.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emission system performance in some vehicles.
CAUTION! (Continued) • An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper maintenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnor- mal conditions repaired promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open.
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.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, the word “gASCAP” will display in the odometer .

When the switch is activated, all directional turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming traffic of an emer gency .
NOTE: There ar e steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition: • If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get 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.
Spare Tire Location The spare tir e is stowed underneath the rear of the vehicle and is held in place by means of a cable winch mechanism. Preparations For Jacking 1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible, avoid icy or slippery areas.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them. NOTE: Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the small ball at the end of component 2 in the small hole at the end of component 3. This will lock these components together .
4. T ilt the r etainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it fr om the center of the wheel. Spare Tire Stowage NOTE: On seven-passenger models, fold the third-r ow passenger seats flat. This will provide mor e space when accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch mechanism.
NOTE: Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the small ball at the end of component 2 in the small hole at the end of component 3. This will lock these components together . Assemble components 1 and 2 so that the wheel nut socket at the end of component 1 faces upward when seated on component 2.
4. T ilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and dr op it through the center of the wheel. Then place the spar e tire with the cable and r etainer underneath the vehicle. 5. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise to raise the spare tir e into the storage area.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack. • Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack. • Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack. • Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the tire just clears the road surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tir e.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 5. Remove the wheel nuts. For vehicles so equipped, remove the wheel cover fr om the wheel by hand.
W ARNING! T o avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death. 8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counter- clockwise with the jack handle.
14. Check the tire pressur e as soon as possible. Adjust the tire pr essure as r equired. Wheel Nuts T ighten all wheel nuts occasionally to eliminate the possibility of wheel studs being sheared or the bolt holes in the wheels becoming elongated.
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 between the left front headlight assembly and the left fr ont wheel splash shield.
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.
