Liftgate Flipper Glass The liftgate flipper glass is also unlocked when the liftgate is unlocked. T o open the flipper glass, push up on the window switch located on the liftgate. NOTE: The liftgate flipper glass will not open if the liftgate is ajar .
NOTE: If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should occur , an emergency liftgate latch release can be used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel. W ARNING! Driving with the flipper glass open can allow poi- sonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
When the LIFTGA TE button on the RKE transmitter is pressed two times, the turn signals will flash twice to signal that the liftgate is opening or closing (if Flash Lamps with Lock is enabled in the EVIC) and the liftgate chime will be audible.
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is closing or opening, the liftgate will automatically reverse to the closed or open position, provided it meets sufficient resistance. • There are also pinch sensors attached to the side of the liftgate.
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
• Knee bolsters for front seat occupants • Front seat belts incorporate pr etensioners that may enhance occupant pr otection by managing occupant energy during an impact event • All seat belt sy.
Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see section on Child Restraints) should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
W ARNING! • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
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 thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
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.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retrac- tor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed posi- tion.
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 create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
button, verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched by pulling downward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked into position. NOTE: The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to be adjusted in the upwar d position without pushing the r elease button.
Automatic Locking Retractor Mode (ALR) — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking Mode is avail- able on all passenger-seating positions with a combina- tion lap/shoulder belt.
W ARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt assembly Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt function is not working properly when checked according to the procedures in the Service Manual.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR) These head restraints are passive, deployable compo- nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspec- tion of the head restraint.
However if during a front impact, a secondary rear impact occurs, the AHR may deploy based on the severity and type of the impact. CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a.
Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR) If the Active Head Restraints are triggered in a collision, you must reset the head r estraint on the driver ’s and front passenger seat. Y ou can recognize when the Active Head Restraint has been triggered by the fact that they have moved forward (as shown in step three of the resetting procedur e).
3. Pull down then rearward towards the rear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism. 1 — Downward Movement 2 — Rearward Movement 3 — Final Downward Movement T o Engage Locking M.
4. The AHR front soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have dif ficulties or problems 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 .
Light remains illuminated until the respective seat belts are fastened. The driver should instruct all other occu- pants to fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert 威 will provide both audio and visual notification.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss 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.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — Air Bags This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on several factors, including the severity and type of collision.
• Instrument Panel • Knee Impact Bolster • Driver Advanced Front Air Bag • Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag • Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) • Supplemental Side Air Bag Infl.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually . Y ou may damage the air bags and you could be injured because the air bags may no longer be functional. The protective covers for the air bag cushions are designed to open only when the air bags are inflating.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) SABIC air bags may offer side-impact and vehicle roll- over protection to fr ont and rear seat outboar d occupants in addition to that provided by the body structure.
• Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air bags during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed. • Should a vehicle rollover occur , the pretensioners and/or SAB and SABIC air bags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy .
W ARNING! (Continued) • SAB and SABIC air bags are a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. Occupants, including children who are up against or very close to SAB or SABIC air bags can be seriously injured or killed.

Knee Impact Bolsters The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position front occu- pants for the best interaction with the Advanced Front Air Bag.
impact, Advanced Fr ont Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial deceleration. The side air bags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision.
noted that could affect the air bag system. The diagnos- tics also record the nature of the malfunction. W ARNING! Ignoring the Air Bag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags to protect you in a collision.
The ORC determines if a side collision requires the side air bags to inflate, based on the severity and type of collision. Based on the severity and type of collision, the side air bag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle may be triggered, releasing a quantity of non-toxic gas.
NOTE: In a rollover the pretensioners and/or SAB and SABIC air bags may deploy on both sides of the vehicle. Front And Side Impact Sensors In fr ont and side impacts, impact sensors can aid the ORC in determining appropriate response to impact events.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front passenger as the air bags deploy and unfold.
Maintaining Y our Air Bag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you.
Air Bag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the air bags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air Bag W arning Light monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components. While the air bag system is designed to be maintenance free.
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recor d such data as: • How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger saf.
There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost lar ge enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner ’s Manual to make sur e you have the correct seat for your child.
Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In V ehicles Child Size, Height, W eight or Age Recommended T ype of Child Restraint Infants and T oddlers Children who ar e two years old or younge.
Infants And Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that children ride rearward- facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing child safety seat. T wo types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
remain in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the child seat. All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly .
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear seat.

What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LA TCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.
Can two child restraints be attached using a common lower LA TCH anchorage? No Never “share” a LA TCH anchorage with two or more child restraints. If the center position does not have dedicated LA.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the gap between the seatback and seat cushion.
you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along gap between the seatback and seat cushion. Locating The LA TCH Anchorages In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each r ear seating position located on the back of the seat.
LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each side. Each will have a hook or connector to attach to the lower anchorage and a way to tighten the connection to the anchorage. Forward-facing child restraints and some rear -facing infant r estraints will also be equipped with a tether strap.
Always follow the directions of the child restraint manu- facturer when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described here.
3. Raise the armrest and attach the tether hook to the strap located on the front of the arm rest. T o Install A LA TCH-compatible Child Restraint 1. If the selected seating position has a Switchable Auto- matic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt, stow the seat belt, following the instructions below .
4. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the selected seat- ing position. 5. If the child r estraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the T op T ether Anchorage” for direc- tions to attach a tether anchor .
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of the re- straint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the child restraint manufacturer ’ s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

.
Installing A Child Restraint with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) 1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. Refer to “Lower Anchors and T ethers for Chil- dren (LA TCH) Restraint System” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. Refer to “Lower Anchors and T ethers for Chil- dren (LA TCH) Restraint System” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
Installing Child Restraints Using The T op T ether Anchorage 1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find the tether anchorage. Y ou may need to move the seat forward to provide better access to the tether anchorage.
3. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head r estraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
5. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as shown in the diagram. 6. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer ’s instructions. W ARNING! The top tether anchorages are not visible until the gap panel is folded down.
T ransporting Pets Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts.
NOTE: 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 break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
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 replaced after a collision.
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.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tir es for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.

When T o Use TOW/HAUL Mode When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer , carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc- curs, pr ess the T OW/HAUL switch to activate TOW/ HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission overheating or failur e due to excessive shifting.
T orque Converter Clutch A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been included in the automatic transmission on your vehicle. A clutch within the torque converter engages automati- cally at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly differ ent feeling or response during normal operation in the upper gears.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION Quadra-T rac I 姞 Operating Instructions/ Precautions – If Equipped The Quadra-T rac I 威 is a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides convenient full-time four- wheel drive. No driver interaction is requir ed.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW , the engine speed is approximately three times that of the 4WD HI position at a given road speed. T ake car e not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type, and circumference on each wheel.
NEUTRAL This range disengages both the front and r ear driveshafts from the powertrain. It is to be used for flat towing behind another vehicle. Refer to “Recreational T owing” in “Starting and Operating” for further information. 4WD LOW This range is for low speed four -wheel drive.
NOTE: If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature pr otection condition exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 3 MPH or 5 KPH Put T rans in N Press 4 Low” message will flash fr om the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
NOTE: • If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature protection condition exists, a “For 4x4 High Slow Below 3 MPH or 5 KPH Put T rans in N Press 4 Low” message will flash from the Elec- tronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
5. Repeat Steps 1 to 4 to shift out of NEUTRAL. NOTE: If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a “T o T ow V ehicle Safely , Read Neutral Shift Procedure in Owners Manual” message will flash from the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
W ith a traction difference between left and right wheels, the coupling will sense a speed difference. As one wheel begins to spin faster than the other , torque will automatically transfer from the wheel that has less traction, to the wheel that has traction.
to allow more driver control of vehicle while maintain- ing safe handling controls. The vehicle will lower (if equipped with Air Suspension) to Aero Mode in High Range. 4WD Low is not available in SPORT mode, if 4WD Low is selected the Selec-T errain™ will auto- matically switch back to AUTO.
equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will change to Off-Road 2. If the Selec-T errain™ switch is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is switched from 4WD Low to 4WD High, the Selec-T errain™ system will return to AUT O.
• Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standar d position of the suspension and is meant for normal driving. • Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.3 in (33 mm) – This is the primary position for all off-r oad driving until OR2 is needed.
Selec-T errain™ knob is turned to the “SPORT” posi- tion. T urning the Selec-T errain™ knob to the “AUT O” position will return the system to normal operation.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed that the air suspension system operates briefly , this is normal. The system is corr ecting the position of the vehicle to ensur e a proper appearance. T o assist with changing a spar e tire, the Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system has a feature which allows the auto- matic leveling to be disabled.
lamps will show a position which the system is working to achieve. When raising, if multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the “Up” button, the highest flashing indica- tor lamp is the position the system is working to achieve.
• Park Mode – Indicator lamp 3 will be illuminated when the vehicle is in Park Mode. If Park Mode is requested while vehicle speed is between 15 mph (24 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), indicator lamp 4 will remain on solid and indicator lamp 3 will flash as the system waits for the vehicle to r educe speed.
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS NOTE: Prior to off-road driving, r emove the fr ont air dam to prevent damage. The front air dam is attached to the lower front fascia with seven quarter turn fasteners and can be removed by hand.
or terrain be selected. The vehicle height should then be raised as required by the changes in terrain. The Selec-T errain™ switch will automatically change the vehicle to the optimized height based on the Selec- T errain™ switch position.
NOTE: Y our vehicle is capable of water for ding in up to 20 inches (51 cm) of water , while crossing small rivers or streams. T o maintain optimal performance of your vehi- cle’s heating and ventilation system it is r ecommended to switch the system into recirculation mode during water fording.
Maintenance After driving through deep water , inspect your vehicle fluids and lubricants (engine oil, transmission oil, axle, transfer case) to assure the fluids have not been contami- nated. Contaminated fluid (milky , foamy in appearance) should be flushed/changed as soon as possible to pre- vent component damage.
W ARNING! If the engine stalls, you lose forward motion, or cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never attempt to turn around. T o do so may result in tipping and rolling the vehicle. Always back care- fully straight down a hill in REVERSE gear .
• Completely inspect the underbody of your vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steering, suspension, and exhaust system for damage. • Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and clean as requir ed. • Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering, and sus- pension.
and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light efforts while parking and good feel while driving. If the electro- hydraulic power steering system experiences a fault that prevents it fr om providing power steering assist, then the system will provide mechanical steering capability .
NOTE: • Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera- tional, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
If necessary , add fluid to restor e to the proper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information. FUEL SA VER TECHNOLOGY (IF EQUIPPED) — 5.
When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position, the “Brake W arning Light” in the instrument cluster will illuminate. NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the transmis- sion is placed in gear , the “Brake W arning Light” will flash.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/ RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appro- priate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition. • Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than appropriate for the steering wheel position.
High Range (Four-Wheel Drive Models) Or T wo-Wheel Drive Models On This is the normal operating mode for ESC in 4WD HIGH range and in two-wheel drive vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted fr om 4WD LOW range or NEUTRAL back to 4WD HIGH range, the ESC system will be in this “On” mode.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the “ESC OFF” switch.
W ARNING! If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway . Hill Start Assist (HSA) The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill.
W ARNING! There may be situations on minor hills (i.e., less than 8%), with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer , when the system will not activate and slight rolling may occur . This could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission in P ARK and using the parking brake, it will roll down the hill and could cause a collision with another ve- hicle or object.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — Four-Wheel Drive Models With MP3023 T wo-Speed T ransfer Case Only HDC maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in 4WD LOW range only .
The HDC speed may be adjusted by the driver to suit the driving conditions. The speed corresponds to the trans- mission gear selected. HDC operation can be overridden with brake application to slow the vehicle down below the HDC control speed.
W ARNING! HDC is only intended to assist the driver in control- ling vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver must remain attentive to the driving conditions and is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
NOTE: • The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” come on momen- tarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system will be ON even if it was turned off pr eviously .

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 vehicle 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 pressur es can cause uneven wear pat- terns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufactur er 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 tire inflation pressur e is very important.
the tire sidewall. Use all season tir es only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. Summer Or Three Season Tires – If Equipped Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry conditions, and are not intended to be driven in snow or on ice.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel – If Equipped Y our vehicle may be equipped with a spar e tire and wheel equivalent in look and function to the original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle.
Since this tire has limited tread life the original equip- ment tire should be repaired (or replaced) and r einstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity . 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 tir e.
your original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity . W ARNING! Limited-use spares are for emergency use only . In- stallation of this limited-use spare tire af fects vehicle handling.
T read Wear Indicators T r ead wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tir es to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators ar e molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the 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 a collision resulting 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 sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
• Install on Rear T ires Only • Due to limited clearance, the Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6 low profile traction device or equiva- lent is r ecommended on P265/60R18 or 265/50R20 tires. W ARNING! Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow) between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable handling.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Observe the traction device manufacturer ’ s instruc- tions on the method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the suggested operating speed of the device manufac- turer ’ s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recommended cold tire placard pr essure. The tire pressur e will vary with temperatur e by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire pressur e as long as the condition exists, and will not turn off until the tire pressur e is at or above recommended cold tire placard pr essure.
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.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressur e, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System The T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim-mounted electr onic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels.
The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds, and r emain on solid when a system fault is detected. In addition, a “SER VICE TPM SYSTEM” message may be displayed for approximately 5 seconds when a system fault is detected, and a chime will sound.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS 3.6L Engine – If Equipped This engine is designed to meet all emis- sions r egulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded “regular” gasoline having an octane rating of 87.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country requir e the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline.” Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms: • operate in a lean mode • OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on • poor eng.
Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective detergent additives. Use of additional deter gents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and they would result in additional cost. Therefore, you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings 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.
FLEXIBLE FUEL (3.6L ENGINE ONL Y) — IF EQUIPPED E-85 General Information The information in this section is for Flexible Fuel ve- hicles only . These vehicles can be identified by a unique fuel filler door label that states Ethanol (E-85) or Un- leaded Gasoline Only .
Ethanol Fuel (E-85) E-85 is a mixture of appr oximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury . Never have any smok- ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when remov- ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the tank.
When you do switch fuel types it is recommended that: • you do not add less than 5 gallons (19 Liters) when refueling • you drive the vehicle immediately after r efueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) Observing these pr ecautions will avoid possible hard starting and/or significant deterioration in driveability during warm up.
Starting The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the range of 0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), you may experience an increase in the time it takes for your engine to start, and a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations) until the engine is fully warmed up.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the locking fuel filler door , on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sur e the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle. 1. Press the fuel filler door r elease switch (located under the headlamp switch).
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impu- rities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can cause the “Malfunction Indi- cator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and may cause the malfunction indicator light to turn on.
5. Pull the release cable. Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a loose gascap indicator will display in the EVIC telltale display area.
Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle including driver , passengers, vehicle, options and cargo. The label also specifies maximum capacities of fr ont and rear axle systems (GA WR). T otal load must be limited so GVWR and front and rear GA WR are not exceeded.
Curb W eight The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer , carefully review this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
W ARNING! (Continued) you use a standard weight-carrying hitch, you could lose control of your vehicle and cause a collision. Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The GCWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination.
T railer Sway Control The trailer sway contr ol can be a mechanical telescoping link that can be installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable fric- tion associated with the telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.
W ARNING! • An improperly adjusted weight-distributing hitch system may reduce handling, stability , and braking performance, and could result in a collision.

W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/ kilometers of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation. If replacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the corr ect type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze) performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
W ith disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake linings wear . However , an unexpected drop in fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check should be conducted. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure. This could result in a collision. Front/Rear Axle Fluid For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are not requir ed.
CAUTION! Do not over tighten the plugs as it could damage then and cause them to leak. Selection Of Lubricant Use only the manufacturer’s recommended fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintain- ing Y our V ehicle” for further information.
Automatic T ransmission Selection Of Lubricant It is important to use the pr oper transmission fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance and life. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended transmission fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for fluid specifications.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the chemicals can damage your transmission compo- nents. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty . Fluid Level Check – 3.6L Engine The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not requir e adjustment under normal operating conditions.
Fluid Level Check – 5.7L Engine It is best to check the fluid level when the transmission is at normal operating temperature (approximately 180°F / 82°C). This occurs after at least 15 miles (25 km) of driving. At normal operating temperature the fluid can- not be held comfortably between the fingertips.
NOTE: If it is necessary to check the transmission below the operating temperature, the fluid level should be between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick with the fluid at approximately 70°F (21°C) (room tem- perature).
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.
• If insects, tar , or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use MOP AR 威 Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover to remove. • Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as MOP AR 威 Cleaner W ax to remove r oad film, stains and to protect your paint finish.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use MOP AR 威 T ouch Up Paint on scratches as soon as possible.
• For tough stains, apply MOP AR 威 T otal Clean, or a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to remove soap r esidue. • For grease stains, apply MOP AR 威 Multi-Purpose Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and remove stain.
Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights and fog lights (if equipped) that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore differ ent lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic. 1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners.
