The control on the left front door has up-down switches that give you finger tip control of all four power win- dows. Ther e is a single opening and closing switch on the passenger doors for passenger window control.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, front airbags for both the driver and front passenger and if equipped, side airbags for both the driver and front passenger .
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 All the seats in your vehicle are equipped with Lap/ Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” Pulling Out The Latch Plate Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTI.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the fr ont seat, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt away from your neck. Push anchorage button to release the anchor- age, and move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
1. Remove the mini latch and regular latch from its stowed position in the right rear side trim panel. 2. Grasp the mini latch plate and pull the belt over the seat.
4. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the mini latch plate into the mini buckle until you hear a “click.” 5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug belt r educes the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision. 8. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . Insert the mini latch plate into the slot provided in the trim panel. Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pr etensioning devices that are designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST ART position.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the str ong bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that ar e based on collision severity and occupant size. Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to ⬙ Occupant Classification System ⬙ in this section).
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts and pr etensioners, fr ont airbags work with the driver knee bolster to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection.
ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.

momentarily or continuously . A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial start up. W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG light in your instrument panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
the right front passenger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the passenger air bag will not inflate even though the Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) indicator lamp is not illuminated. • The P AD indictor light should not be illu- minated when an adult passenger is prop- erly seated in the front passenger seat.

authorized dealer . The Airbag W arning Light is turned on whenever ther e is fault that can affect the operation of the airbag system. If there is a fault present in the OCS, both the P AD Indicator Light and the Airbag W arning Light are illuminated to show that the passenger airbag is turned off until the fault is cleared.
determine whether the front passenger airbag should be turned off. It also determines the rate of airbag inflation during a collision. • Y our vehicle has four W eight Sensors located between the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measur e applied weight and transfers that information to the OCM.
The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the front passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.
used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or throat irritation, move to fr esh air . If the irritation continues, see your doctor .
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US government and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver , vehicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially .
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces requir e that small childr en ride in proper r estraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
• Safety experts recommend that children 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 rearward-facing: infant carriers and ⬙ convertible ⬙ child seats.
and booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/ shoulder belt. (Some booster seats are equipped with a front shield and are held in the vehicle by the lap portion.) NOTE: For additional information refer to www .seatcheck.org. W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. If the seat belt has a cinching latch plate, pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt.
Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) T o operate the switchable retractor , pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then pull on the belt until it is all removed from the r etractor .
LA TCH-compatible, you can only install the child re- straints using the vehicle’s seat belts. Please refer to, Installing the Child Restraint System for typical installa- tion instructions. Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available.
NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant r estraints are stowed and out of reach of children. It is recommended that before installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system. NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LA TCH com- patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty . SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent r etractor , torn webbing, etc. If there is any question regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM – ABS/TCS/BAS/ERM/ESP Y our vehicle may be equipped with an optional ad- vanced electronic brake contr ol system that includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), T raction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System ( BAS), Electronic Roll Miti- gation (ERM) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor - rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! • Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would normally allow is requir ed to gain traction. T o turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation. W ARNING! In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized.
In this mode, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35 mph (56 km/h) the normal ESP stability function returns with the exception of engine power reduction.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stabil- ity offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver , the ESP system will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . “ESP Off” mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use, only .
W ARNING! • Never leave children in a vehicle, with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.

SUNSHADE OPERA TION The sunshade can be opened manually . However , the sunshade will open automatically as the sunroof opens. NOTE: The sunshade cannot be closed if the sunroof is open. Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears.
W ARNING! T o A void Serious Injury or Death: • D on o tu s ea3— Prong Adaptor . • Do not insert any objects into the receptacles. • Do not touch with wet hands. • Close the lid when not in use. • If this outlet is mishandled it may cause an electric shock and failure.
Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off CAUTION! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle’s battery , even when not in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually , if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.
CONSOLE FEA TURES The floor console’s sliding armr est moves forward 3 inches to accommodate shorter drivers. The armrest lid also includes a unique flip pocket for storing a phone or an MP3 player . The bin inside the console can hold up to 10 CD jewel cases or other items securely out of sight.

T onneau cover — If Equipped The cargo area trim panels include two notches for mounting the available tonneau cover that accommo- dates the reclining rear seat. W ARNING! In an accident a cargo cover loose in the vehicle could cause injury . It could fly around in a sudden stop and strike someone in the vehicle.
Removable Load Floor The cargo ar ea load floor is removable and can be washed with mild soap and water . Cargo Tie-Down Loops There are four tie-down loops in the lower trim for securing cargo and D-rings installed on the D pillars for securing a net across the liftgate opening.
W ARNING! • Cargo tie-down Loops are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or colli- sion a loop could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child seat tethers.
Fold Down Speakers – If Equipped When the liftgate is open, the speakers can swing down from the trim panel to face rearward, for tailgating and other activities. REAR WINDOW FEA TURES Rear Window Wiper/W asher A switch on the right side of the steering column controls operation of the rear wiper/washer function.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned OFF , the wiper will automatically return to the “Park” position if power accessory delay is active. Power acces- sory delay can be cancelled by opening the door , if this happens the rear wiper will stop at its current position and will not go to park.
Rear Window Defroster CAUTION! Use care when washing the inside of the rear win- dow to prevent damage to heating elements. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating elements. Also, keep all objects a safe distance from the window to prevent damaging the heating elements.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Manual T ransaxle Before starting the engine fully apply the parking brake, press the clutch pedal to the floor and place the gear selector in NEUTRAL.
If Engine Fails to Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “NORMAL ST ARTING” procedure, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than 15 seconds.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE — IF EQUIPPED CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Gear Ranges For Continuously V ariable Automatic T ransaxle (CVT) DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL positions into another gear range. “P” Park Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis- sion. The engine can be started in this range.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park), firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops. • Look at the shift indicator window on the console to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
AUTOSTICK — IF EQUIPPED Autostick is a driver-interactive transmission that offers six manual ratio changes to provide you with more control. Autostick allows you to maximize engine brak- ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
Autostick operation is activated in the ⬙ D ⬙ position by moving the shift lever side to side. Moving the lever to the (+) side will activate Autostick and shift up to the next higher manual ratio, unless you are already operat- ing in or near overdrive in which case, 6th ratio will be selected.
MANUAL TRANSAXLE OPERA TION W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should al- ways be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.
For most city driving you will find it easier to use only the lower gears. For steady highway driving with light accelerations, 5th gear is recommended. Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, or try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged.
CAUTION! If you skip more than one gear while downshifting or downshift at too high a vehicle speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch. T o maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descending a steep grade.
Where one or more wheels have wheel spin or if addi- tional traction is needed in sand, deep snow , or loose traction surfaces, activate the 4WD Lock switch by pull- ing up once and releasing. This locks the center coupling allowing more torque to be sent to the rear wheels.
slightly on the lever , then depress the button on the end of the lever and push the lever fully down toward the floor . NOTE: The parking brake lever will not release unless the lever is pulled up slightly past its applied position.
W ARNING! • Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dan- gerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake or the gear selector . Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
If either of the two hydraulic systems lose normal capa- bility , the remaining system will still function with some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This will be evident by increased pedal travel during application and greater pedal force requir ed to slow or stop.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
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).
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased 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 interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on European design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire; however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire inflation pressur e is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
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. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
258 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tr ead life r esulting in a need for earlier tir e replacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
The pressure should be checked and adjusted as well as inspecting for signs of tir e wear or visible damage at least once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pressur e. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation.
T ire pressur e may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pressur e build up or your tire pressure will be too low . T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufactur er advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial ply tires in sets of four (or 6, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! The limited use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 60 mph (100 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident result- ing in serious injury or death.
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 suspen- sion dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and brak- ing of your vehicle.

Should a low tire condition occur on any of the four active road tire(s), you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate the low tire(s) that is flashing on the graphic display to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pres- sure value.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will r epeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ text message will no longer display .
CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equip- ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte- nance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pr essure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale lamp.
SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during winter . Standard tires are of the all season type and satisfy this requir ement as indicated by the M+S designation on the tire side wall. If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires.
Follow the r ecommended tire r otation frequency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” Section of this manual. More frequent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected before rotating.
symptoms, try another brand of gasoline (with the ap- propriate octane rating for your engine) before consider- ing service for the vehicle. Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country requir e the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber . Gasolines blended with MMT offer no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT .
• 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 requir e immediate service.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. CAUTION! A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to turn on.
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the Malfunction Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.

DEALER SERVICE Y our dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner . Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these manuals before attempting any procedur e yourself.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Do not check oil level before starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking engine oil level when the engine is cold will give you an incorrect reading.
Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to decide if any apply to you. • Day and night temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). • Stop and Go driving.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only recommends API Certified engine oils. Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil fr om your vehicle. Used oil, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your dealer , service station, or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil can be safely discarded in your area.
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the ef fectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not require maintenance.
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 ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause hard starting or limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, frequent filter replacement may be necessary . The fuel filters are located inside the fuel tank.
CAUTION! When servicing the battery , always reinstall the battery thermowrap. The thermowrap provides bat- tery heat protection and will extend overall battery life. Failure to reinstall the thermowrap can result in evaporative loss of the battery fluid.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level.
Windshield Wiper Blades Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild non abrasive cleaner or use the washer solvent. This will r emove accumulations of salt, waxes or road film and help reduce streaking and smearing.
when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have a competent technician inspect the complete ex- haust system and adjacent body areas for broken, dam- aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and r efilled with fresh coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T en- gine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system. Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to main- tain the pr oper level of protection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated.
do not stor e ethylene glycol based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately . Clean up any ground spills immediately . Coolant Level The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is adequate.
• Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifreeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against freezing.
Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure the are secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure.
brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and exces- sive swelling suggest deterioration of the r ubber . Particu- lar attention should be made to examining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present.
fluid reservoir . Fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear . Brake fluid level should be checked when pads are r eplaced. However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed.
W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter .
Fluid and Filter Changes Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule located if section 8 of this manual for the correct change interval for your type of driving. Special Additives Do not add any materials (other than leak detection dyes) to Automatic T ransmission Fluid (A TF).
Rear Drive Assembly (RDA )– A WD/4WD Models Only Lubricant Selection Use only manufacturers recommended fluid. Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. Fluid Level Check V isually inspected the unit at each oil change for leakage.
Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion Protection Of Body And Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requirements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• Use Mopar Cleaner W ax to remove road film, stains and to protect your paint finish. T ake car e never to scratch the paint. • A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish.
• Use Mopar touch up paint on scratches as soon as possible. Y our dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. Wheel and Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels should be cleaned r egularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
Mopar T otal Clean is specifically r ecommended for leather upholstery . Y our leather upholstery can be best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and should be removed promptly with a damp cloth.
Glass Surfaces All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with Mopar Glass Cleaner or any commer cial household- type glass cleaner . Never use an abrasive type cleaner . Use caution when cleaning the inside rear window equipped with electric defrosters or the right rear quarter window equipped with the radio antenna.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly . Dry with a soft tissue. FUSES/INTEGRA TED POWER MODULE (IPM) An Integrated Power Module is located in the engine compartment near the air cleaner assembly . This center contains cartridge fuses and mini fuses.
