A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y ou can insert the double-sided keys into the locks with either side up. The authorized dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle’s locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your authorized dealer or a locksmith.
NOTE: The Power Accessory Delay feature allows you to operate the radio and the power windows for two minutes after turning OFF the ignition switch. Removing the key from the ignition switch and opening the driver’s door will cancel this feature. Y our authorized dealership can enable or disable the Power Accessory Delay feature as desired.
T o Arm the System Remove the key from the ignition switch and either pr ess a power door LOCK switch while the driver’s or passen- ger’s door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in approximately 16 seconds.
on the ignition. If this occurs, and you wish to rearm the system, simply repeat either of the pr eviously described arming sequences. • The V ehicle Security Light will remain on steady if the hood or trunk/liftgate is open during the arming process or if ther e is a fault in the system.
T o Disarm the System There ar e two ways to disarm the system: • Use the key to unlock the driver’s door . The door lock is located on the outside door panel beneath the mirror . • Press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter . The front and r ear park lights and the turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the signal.
Electronic Immobilization System — Canada Only The Electronic Immobilization system pr events unautho- rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regar dless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
ILLUMINA TED ENTR Y The interior lights will turn on whenever a door is opened or the liftgate is opened (Coupe models) and the dimmer switch is not in the defeat 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 to unlock both doors. The park lights and turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the signal and the illuminated entry system will turn on.
3. T est the feature while outside of the vehicle, by pressing the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter with the ignition in the OFF/LOCK position, and the key removed. 4. Repeat these steps if you want to return this featur e to its previous setting.
T o Lock the Doors Press and r elease the LOCK button on the RKE transmit- ter to lock the doors. The horn will chirp once and the park lights and turn signal lights will flash to acknowl- edge the signal. Sound Horn with Remote Key Lock This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are locked with the RKE transmitter .
Using the Panic Alarm The Panic Alarm unlocks the driver’s door , turns on the interior lights, flashes the park lights and fog lights, and sounds the horn. The Panic Alarm will not work when driving the vehicle. T o turn the Panic Alarm on or off, pr ess and hold the P ANIC button on the RKE transmitter for at least one second and release.
3. Press and hold the UNLOCK button for at least five seconds, but no longer then 10 seconds on a previously programmed RKE transmitter . Then, pr ess the P ANIC button while still holding the UNLOCK button. 4. Release both buttons at the same time. A chime will sound to signal that the programming featur e is acti- vated.
1. Separate the two halves of the RKE transmitter with a coin or similar object. 2. Remove and replace the battery . A void touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery , clean it with rubbing alcohol.
can affect transmitter operation. T o verify if this is the cause, move the vehicle to another area and test RKE transmitter operation. 2. The RKE transmitter may become “out of sync” and will no .
W ARNING! (Continued) • 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 injured seriously or fatally . Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Power Door Locks A power door lock switch is on each door trim panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors. NOTE: T o pr event you from accidentally locking your keys in the vehicle, the power door locks will not operate if the key is in the ignition and the driver’s door is open.
NOTE: Input from the door handles is ignor ed once the vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h). Automatic Door Locks Programming The Automatic Door Locks feature can be enabled or disabled as follows: 1. Close all doors and place the key in the ignition.
• W indows cannot be driven up during Power Acces- sory Delay with a door open. Furthermore, opening the door will stop the window movement immediately if the window is in the process of going up. • The window will lower slightly if it is closed com- pletely when opening the door .
T o open the window to a desir ed position, press and hold the WINDOW switch in the first detent. Release the switch when you want the window to stop. Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the per ception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
• When all doors are locked (except for RKE transmitter liftgate access). Refer to “Entering the Liftgate with the System Armed — Coupe” under “Security Alarm System” for additional information. The word “DECK” will flash in the odometer when the liftgate is open.
Y ou can also unlatch the trunk lid with the key . The key cylinder is located on the trunk lid. The word “DECK” will flash in the odometer when the trunk lid is open.
T runk Emergency Release The trunk of your vehicle is equipped with an emer gency release handle. It is located on the inside of the tr unk lid, near the latch, and is coated so that it glows in a darkened trunk.
way out and then adjusting the belt to the desired length to restrain a child seat or secur e a large item in a seat — if equipped If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) featur e also can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems.
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts Each seat belt is a combined lap/shoulder belt system. The belt webbing retractor will lock only during very sudden stops or impacts.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T wo people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in an accident, hurting one another badly . Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
4. 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 very danger - ous. 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 as well.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to cr eate a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
4. T urn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine. W ait for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn off and then pr oceed to the next step. NOTE: Y ou must perform the following steps within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
How T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt r etracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e r ecommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap portion of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible.
Driver and Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbags This vehicle is equipped with airbags for the driver and passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger’s airbag is mounted underneath a cover in the passenger’s side of the instrument panel.
The airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
Knee Impact Bolsters The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the passenger , and position everyone for the best interaction with the airbags.
− Passenger Airbag Disabled (P AD) Indicator Light − Flex Mat Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag: 1.
8. Read the instructions pr ovided with your child re- straint to make sure that you ar e using it properly . 9. Read the instructions provided with your child safety seat or booster seat to make sure that you ar e using it properly . 10. All occupants should AL W A YS wear their lap and shoulder belts properly .
The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all fr ontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle of fset collisions.
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 .
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service. The Airbag W arning Light will turn on whenever ther e is a fault present, which can af fect the operation of the airbag system. If there is a fault pr esent in the OCS, both the P AD Indicator Light and the Airbag W arning Light will illuminate to show that the passenger airbag is turned off.
The passenger airbag will not be enabled for most any size child who is seated properly in the passenger seat and for most properly installed child r estraint systems. However , under certain conditions, even with a properly installed child restraint system, the P AD Indicator Light may not be on, even though the airbag is disabled.
proper airbag deployment. Do not make any modifica- tions to the passenger seat components, assembly , or to the seat cover . If the seat, trim cover , or cushion needs service for any reason, take the vehicle to your autho- rized dealer . Only manufacturer appr oved seat accesso- ries may be used.
If a Deployment Occurs The airbags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front airbags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. T ake your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice.
NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer , or any engine related gauges ar e not working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The airbags may not be ready to inflate for your pr otection. Promptly check the fuse block for blown fuses.
Infant 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 belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit 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 seat back, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
W ARNING! Improper installation can lead to failure of a child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be injured badly or killed.
T o attach a child r estraint tether strap: 1. Move the seat forward. 2. Move the seatback to its full forward position. 3. Remove the child tether access cover by prying either side with a screwdriver or similar tool, as shown.
6. Move the seat to its farthest rearwar d position. Apply body pressur e to the seat to be sure the seat adjusters have latched. 7. Return the seatback to an upright position. 8. Install the child restraint accor ding to the manufactur- er’s directions.
4. T ighten the lap portion of the belt and allow the excess webbing to retract back to the r etractor . If it still does not make the child restraint secur e, then secure the child restraint with the Child Restraint T ether Anchor .
• A void excessive idling. • Check the engine oil level at every fuel fill. NOTE: A new engine will consume some oil during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the br eak-in and not interpreted as a sign of dif ficulty .
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside the V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.
Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately .

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 any other occupant to buckle their seat belt. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
NOTE: • Y ou must disarm the security system in or der to start the engine. Refer to “Security Alarm System” in “Things T o Know Befor e Starting Y our V ehicle” for further information. • Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine does not requir e pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal.
6. Press the r ed ENGINE ST AR T button located on the instrument panel. Release the button when the engine starts. If Engine Fails to Start CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
Y our vehicle is equipped with a high tor que capacity dual disc clutch. The clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the floor during each shift. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal.
into REVERSE with the ignition key OFF . This is normal operation of the transmission reverse inhibitor system. • Shifting gears during cold weather may requir e an increased ef fort until the transmission lubricant is warm. This is normal and not harmful to the transmis- sion.
Skip Shift Indicator Light There ar e times when you must shift the transmis- sion directly fr om first gear into fourth gear instead of from first gear into second gear .
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. 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.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water mor e than a few inches/ centimeters deep will requir e extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/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.
checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated. Coordinate inspection ef forts through an autho- rized dealer . CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage your power steering components.
T o apply the parking brake, grasp the handle and pull it rearwar d until you feel resistance. T o r elease the parking brake, grasp the handle and pull it slightly while pressing the button on the end of the handle.
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.
Safe Operating T ips W ARNING! T o use your brakes and accelerator more safely , follow these tips: • Do not “ride” the brakes by resting your foot on the pedal. This could overheat the brakes and result in unpredictable braking action, longer stopping distances, or brake damage.
NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard. This is normal, indicating that the ABS is functioning. The ABS conducts a low-speed self-test at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If you have your foot lightly on the brake while this test is occurring, you may feel slight pedal movement.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer .
Anti-Lock Brake W arning Light The “Anti-Lock Brake W arning Light” will turn on and stay on briefly as a bulb check when the ignition is first turned on. If the light does not turn on during starting, have it repair ed promptly . This light also illuminates at vehicle start-up to indicate that the ABS self-check is in pr ocess.
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.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light truck tir e based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can 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 T erminology and Definitions T erm Definition B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is a structural member of the body located between the front and r ear door (of a four-door vehicle) running from the sill to the r oof.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar . T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tel.
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.
170 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 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 are always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressure is very important.
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 pr essure • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • DO NOT use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains ar e not recom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES There ar e no snow tires that are compatible with the wheels on this vehicle.
Rotate the tires “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram. TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) Low Tire Indicator If tire pr essure falls below 23 psi (159 kpa), the “Low T ire Pressur e T elltale.
CAUTION! The T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. The TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesir- able operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

The manufacturer supports the use of r eformulated gaso- lines. Properly blended r eformulated gasolines will pro- vide excellent performance and durability of engine and fuel system components. Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE.
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 required for pr olonged 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 .
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
NOTE: • When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. • The fuel tank filler tube has a restricting door about 2 inches (50 mm) inside the opening. If using a portable container to add fuel, it must have a flexible nozzle long enough to force open the r estricting door .
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened properly . The “Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster may turn on if the gas cap is not secured pr operly . Make sur e that the gas cap is tight- ened each time the vehicle is refueled.
