A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the Key Fob into the ignition switch with either side up.
Key Fob The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emergency key , which stores in the rear of the Key Fob. The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead.
NOTE: • If you try to remove the Key Fob before you place the shift lever in P ARK, it may become trapped tempo- rarily in the ignition switch. If this occurs, rotate the key to the right slightly , then remove the Key Fob as described.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder Opening the driver’s door when the Key Fob is in the ignition and the ignition switch position is OFF or ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to remove the Key Fob. NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC ignition position.
NOTE: The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer system is not compatible with aftermarket r emote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection. All of the Key Fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
General Information The Sentry Key 威 system complies with FCC rules Part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undes- ired operation.
V ehicle Security Light (located in the instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal that the V ehicle Security Alarm is arming.
NOTE: None of the courtesy lights will operate if the dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extreme downward position), unless the overhead map/reading lights are turned on manually .
Remote Key Unlock, Driver Door/All Doors First Press This feature lets you pr ogram the system to unlock either the driver’s door or all doors, on the first press of the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter .
Sound Horn with Remote Key Lock This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are locked with the RKE transmitter . This feature can be turned on or of f.
Using the Panic Alarm T o turn the Panic Alarm feature on or off, press and hold the P ANIC button on the RKE transmitter for at least one second and release. When the Panic Alarm is on, the headlights and park lamps will flash, the horn will pulse on and off, and the interior lights will turn on.
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. 3. Reposition the access door panel over the battery opening and snap into place.
1. A weak battery in the RKE transmitter . The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , and some mobile or CB radios.
W ARNING! • Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Mon- oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Car- bon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled. • Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters away from children.
NOTE: T o avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will disable the one time press of the REMOTE ST AR T button for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote Start request.
W ARNING! (Continued) • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition and lock your vehicle. Do not leave unattended children in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal in- juries and death.
The rear doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle until you pull up the lock plungers. Automatic Unlock On Exit Feature — If Equipped If Auto Unlock is enabled, this feature will unlock all the doors when the driver’s door is opened if the vehicle is stopped and in P ARK or NEUTRAL.
WINDOWS Power Windows The power window controls are located on the driver’s door trim panel. There is a single switch on the front passenger door/rear doors which operates the front passenger/rear passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCESSOR Y position.
Auto-Down Both the driver and front passenger window switches have an “Auto-Down” feature. Press the window switch past the first detent, release, and the window will go down automatically . T o cancel the “Auto-Down” move- ment, operate the switch in either the up or down direction and release the switch.
Resetting the Auto Up Feature Should the Auto Up feature stop working, the window probably needs to be reset. T o reset Auto Up: Pull the window switch up and close the window com- pletely , then pull and hold the switch for one second.
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. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle. • The tailpipes may be hot and you could be seri- ously injured if you come into contact with them.
Once the liftgate flipper glass has been opened, connec- tion to the rear window wiper is interrupted, preventing activation of the rear wiper blade while the flipper glass is open. NOTE: If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should occur , an emergency liftgate latch release can be used to open the liftgate.
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners to enhance occupant pr otection by managing occupant energy during an impact event — if equipped If you will be carrying children too small for adult-s.
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 seating positions in your vehicle have combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed. • 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 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.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the red button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seating positions, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt away from your neck. Press the release button to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
W ARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt assembly Automatic Locking Re- tractor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt func- tion is not working properly when checked ac- cording to the procedures in the Service Manual.
Seat Belt Pretensioners — If Equipped The seat belts for both front seating positions may be equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
1. T urn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and buckle the driver’s seat belt. 2. T urn the ignition key to the ACC/ON position (do not start the engine), and wait for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn off.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags. The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
Advanced Front Airbag Features The Advanced Fr ont Airbag system has multistage driver and fr ont passenger airbags. This system provides output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information from the impact sensors at the front of the car .
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) — If Equipped SABIC airbags offer side-impact and vehicle r ollover protection to front and rear seat outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the body structure.
NOTE: • Should a vehicle rollover occur , the pretensioners and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy . • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Fr ont Airbags work with the knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and front passenger .
Do not lean against the door . If your vehicle has side airbags, and deployment occurs, the side airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door . If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center .
ORC deploys the Advanced Front Airbags, SABIC air- bags — if equipped, and front seat belt pretensioners — if equipped, as requir ed, depending on severity and type of impact.
The ORC contains a backup power supply system that may deploy the airbags even if the battery loses power or it becomes disconnected prior to deployment. Also, the ORC turns on the Airbag W arning Light in the instrument panel for approxi- mately six to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on.
of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 to 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger .
Front and Side Impact Sensors In front and side impacts, impact sensors aid the ORC in determining appropriate response to impact events. Ad- ditional sensors in the ORC determine the level of airbag deployment and provide verification.
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the airbags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the non-toxic gas used for airbag inflation.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning 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 mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
2. Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recor ded (e.g., loss of battery power). In conjunction with other data gathered during a com- plete accident investigation, the electronic data may.
3. Requested by police under a legal warrant. 4. Otherwise required by law . Data parameters that are recorded: • Diagnostic tr ouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically-contr olled .
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
belt tight; however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary). For the second row center seat belt with the automatic locking retract.
Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg), and who ar e older than one year , can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg), and who are older than one year .
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) Y our vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
If you are installing LA TCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent rear seating positions, you can use the LA TCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for the outboard position, but you must use the vehicle’s seat belt at the center position.
In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a differ ent seating position. T o attach a child restraint tether strap: Route the tether strap over the seatback and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
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 inter- preted as an indication of difficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPORT P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer than needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area. If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling controls to force outside air into the vehicle.
Airbag W arning Light The light should come on and remain on for six to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not lit during starting, see your authorized dealer . If the light stays on, flickers, or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an autho- rized dealer .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Extreme Cold Weather (Below ⫺ 20°F or ⫺ 29°C) T o ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail- able from your authorized dealer) is recommended.
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold W eather” proce- dures, it may be flooded. T o clear any excess fuel, push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it. Then, turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
3. Using a flat blade screwdriver , carefully remove the shift lock manual override cover which is located on the PRNDL bezel. 4. Press and maintain firm pressur e on the brake pedal. 5. Using the screwdriver , reach into the manual override opening. Press and hold the shift lock lever down.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should apply the park brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, and remove the key fob from the ignition switch.
NOTE: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and T raction Control (if equipped) should be turned OFF before attempting to rock the vehicle. Refer to “Electr onic Brake Control System” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
Operation By placing the shift lever in the DRIVE position, the shift lever can be moved from side to side. This allows the driver to engage the AutoStick 威 mode. Moving the shift lever to the right (+) or the left (-) will engage the AutoStick 威 mode.
When in the AutoStick 威 mode, as the engine RPM nears the engine maximum speed, an “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of your instrument cluster .
• The transmission will automatically shift up when maximum engine speed is r eached while AutoStick 威 is engaged. • T ransmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick 威 is engaged. POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces.
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.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restor e to the proper indicated level.
NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied vehicle speed is detected, the light will flash and a chime will sound to alert the driver . Fully release the parking brake before attempting to move the vehicle. • This light only shows that the parking brake is ap- plied.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave the transmission in P ARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
The Anti-Lock Brake System pump motor runs during the self-test at 12 mph (20 km/h) and during an ABS stop. The pump motor makes a low humming noise during operation, which is normal. W ARNING! • Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident.
NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard. This is normal, indicating that the Anti-Lock Brake System is functioning. 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.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system that includes Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem (ABS), T raction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP).

TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
• T emporary spare tir es are high-pressur e compact spares designed for temporary emergency use only . T ires designed to this standard have the letter “T” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.
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 truck 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 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 ir es 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 rear door (of a four-door vehicle) running from the sill to the roof.

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available car go and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 271 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, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Run Flat Tires This vehicle is equipped with run flat tires.
Safety W ARNING! • Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. • Under inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure. • Over inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Tire Inflation Pressures The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side “B” Pillar . 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.
T ire pressure 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 . Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are repairable only in the tread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult your dealer for radial tire repairs. Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h).
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire should be replaced.
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 PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) Premium System The T ir e Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressur e levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressur e readings to the Receiver Module.
NOTE: Y our system can be set to display pressur e units in PSI, kPa, or BAR. 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 tire pressur e.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will no longer flash, the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ text message will not be present, and a pressure value will be displayed instead of dashes.

NOTE: Intentional tampering with the emissions con- trol system can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: (Continued) W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not inhale exhaust gases.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door , on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sur e the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle. CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap).
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and will cause the MIL to turn on.
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 re- view this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The GCWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination. NOTE: The GCWR rating includes a 150 lbs (68 kg) allowance for the presence of a driver . Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the fr ont and r ear axles.
W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing system works by applying lever- age through spring (load) bars. They are typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s).
T railer Hitch Classification The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/ T ransmission GCWR (Gross Combined Wt. Rating) Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your trailer hitch. Consider the following items when computing the weight on the front/r ear axles of the vehicle: • The trailer tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
T owing Requirements T o promote proper break-in of your new vehicle drive- train components the following guidelines are recom- mended: CAUTION! • Do not tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven. The engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer . Always connect the chains to the hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners. • V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.
− Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer . Refer to “T ir es – General Information” in “Starting and Operating” for proper inspection procedur e. − When replacing tires, refer to “T ires – General Infor- mation” in “Starting and Operating” for proper tire replacement procedures.
W ARNING! • Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic brake lines. It can overload your brake system and cause it to fail. Y ou might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. • T owing any trailer will increase your stopping distance.
− When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until you can get back to cruising speed. − Use speed contr ol in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency .

Y our vehicle has a simple ignition key-actuated test, which you can use prior to going to the test station. T o check if your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready , you must do the following: 1. T urn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not crank or start the engine.
before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running. REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine MOP AR 威 parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to en- sure the designed performance.
Besides those maintenance items specified in the fixed maintenance schedule, there ar e other components which may requir e servicing or replacement in the future.
check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off or before starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
requir ements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-10725 and are approved to MB 229.3 or MB 229.5 (will be listed on the back label of the oil container). The manufacturer recommends the use of a full synthetic 5W -40 or equivalent engine oil. CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the chemicals can damage your engine.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil and Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment.
Maintenance-Free Battery Y our vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-fr ee battery . Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic main- tenance requir ed. 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.
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.
When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the Fall and Spring.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared. The fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment, be sure to check the fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent only (not radiator antifreeze).
inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as requir ed. 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.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system.
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush and Refill If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals.
CAUTION! (Continued) • This vehicle has not been designed for use with Propylene Glycol based engine coolant (anti- freeze). Use of Propylene Glycol based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not recommended. Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance intervals.
NOTE: Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze) types will decrease the life of the engine coolant (antifreeze) and will require more frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) changes.
Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring pr oper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate. • Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check engine coolant (antifreeze) freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle.
Brake System Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced, or immediately if the brake system warning light is on. If necessary , add fluid to bring level to the full mark on the side of the reservoir of the brake master cylinder .
W ARNING! (Continued) • T o avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container . Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
CAUTION! The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not require adjustment under normal operating condi- tions. If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your authorized dealer immediately . Severe damage to the transmission may occur . Y our authorized dealer has the proper tools to accurately adjust the fluid level.
W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly . Always wash your ve- hicle in the shade using MOP AR 威 Car W ash or a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with clear water . • If insects, tar , or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use MOP AR 威 Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover or equivalent to remove.
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately . The cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner . • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and protective coating have your vehicle r epair ed 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 the stain. Use a fr esh, damp towel to remove soap residue. • For grease stains, apply MOP AR 威 Multi-Purpose Cleaner or equivalent to a clean, damp cloth and remove the stain.
W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed areas they may cause respiratory harm. Glass Surfaces All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with MOP AR 威 Glass Cleaner or any commercial household-type glass cleaner .
