LIFTGA TE NOTE: The key that is used to start the vehicle is also used to lock or unlock the doors and open the liftgate. T o unlock the liftgate, insert the key into the lock and turn to the right (manual lock models only).
• Although the liftgate has no inside r elease mechanism, the liftgate trim panel includes an opening with a snap-in cap that provides access to release the latch in the event of an electrical system malfunction. W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) — if equipped • An energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel • Knee bolsters for front seat occupants • Front seat belts incorporate.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag: 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. W ARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Air Bag.
5. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are provided under ⴖ If Y ou Need Assistance ⴖ . W ARNING! • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries.
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 inter- nal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt may not protect you properly .
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 the anchorage button to release the anchorage, and move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
Second Row Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions The second row center lap/shoulder belt featur es a three-point seat belt with a mini-latch and buckle, which allows the shoulder belt to detach from the lower anchor when the seat is folded.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the right head restraint. 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 the seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
7. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up 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.
10. T o disengage the mini-latch from the mini-buckle for storage, insert the regular latch plate into the black button on the top of the mini-buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If neces- sary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully .
If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for normal usage: Only pull the belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap ar ound the occupant’s mid-section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will hear a ratcheting sound as the belt retracts.
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.
CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.
1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the rear seat. 2. Position the hands on the top of the deployed AHR at a comfortable position. 3. Pull down then rearward towards the rear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism.
4. The AHR front soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or pr oblems r esetting the Active Head Restraints, see an authorized dealer . • For safety reasons, have the Active Head Restraints checked by a qualified specialist at an authorized dealer .
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert®) BeltAlert® is a feature intended to remind the driver and front passenger (if equipped with front passenger BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts. The feature is active whenever the ignition is on.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
NOTE: The Driver and Passenger Advanced Front Air Bags are certified to new Federal regulations. The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on the severity and type of collision.
protection for an occupant during a side impact. The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags ar e located in the outboard side of the front seats. NOTE: • Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during air bag deployment.
The first stage inflator is trigger ed immediately during an impact that r equires air bag deployment. This low output is used in less sever e collisions.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is marked with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the front seats.
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 outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the body structure.
• Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during air bag deployment. • Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be sever ely injured or killed.
windows, or area wher e the SAB or SABIC air bags inflate, even if they are in an infant or child restraint. Always sit upright as possible with your back against the seat back, use the seat belts properly , and use the appropriate sized child restraint, infant restraint or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may pr oduce sub- stantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole colli- sions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Air Bag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted that could affect the air bag system.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. The ORC determines if a side collision requires the side air bags to inflate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Because air bag sensors estimate deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed. NOTE: In a rollover the pretensioners and/or SAB and SABIC air bags may deploy on both sides of the vehicle.
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.
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; • How far (if at all) the driver was depr essing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, • How fast the vehicle was traveling.
There are differ ent sizes and types of r estraints 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.
.
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.

Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH) Restraint System Y our vehicle is equipped with the child r estraint anchor - age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren. The LA TCH system has thr ee vehicle anchor points for installing LA TCH- equipped child seats.
LA TCH Positions For Installing Child Restraints In This V ehicle Lower Anchorage Symbol 2 anchorages per seating position T op T ether Anchorage Symbol 84 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE.
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage sys- tem 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 an- chorage? No Never “share” a LA TCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
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.
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.
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 . See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt” to check what type of seat belt each seating position has.
with it and accidentally lock the seatbelt retractor . Before installing a child r estraint using the LA TCH system, buckle the seat belt behind the child restraint and out of the child’s reach.

Can the r ear-facing child restraint touch the back of the front passenger seat? Y es Contact between the front passenger seat and the child restraint is allowed, if the child restraint manufacturer also allows contact.
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 dir ections 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 dir ections to attach a tether anchor .
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat, routing it over the center of the head restraint. 3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as shown in the diagram.
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.
W ARNING! (Continued) eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips: • 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.
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 (i.e., bent retractor , torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question regar ding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot be properly secured to prevent them from moving and interfer- ing with the pedals or the ability to control the vehicle. • Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of already installed floor mats.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! • Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, and re- move the key fob from the ignition.
Automatic T ransmission – If Equipped The shift lever must be in the P ARK or NEUTRAL position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting to any driving gear . NOTE: Y ou must press the brake pedal before shifting out of P ARK.
W ARNING! (Continued) another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly , so follow the procedure carefully . Refer to “Jump Starting” in “What T o Do In Emer- gencies” for further information.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cor d to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wir e extension cord. The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.
Fully press the clutch pedal befor e you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly pr ess the accelerator pedal. Use each gear in numerical order , do not skip a gear . Be sure the transmission is in first gear , (not third), when starting from a standing position.
Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, and never try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged. This will cause abnormal wear on the clutch. Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION! If you skip a gear while downshifting or downshift at too high of a vehicle speed, these conditions may cause the engine to overspeed if too low of a gear is selected and the clutch pedal is released.
W ARNING! • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. • Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, and re- move the ignition key .
Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requir es the transmission to be in P ARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the OFF position. The key can only be r emoved fr om the ignition when the ignition is in the OFF position, and once removed the transmission is locked in P ARK.
Only shift from DRIVE to P ARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these gears. The transmission shift lever has only P ARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions.
W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle move- ment and possible injury or damage. • Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P ARK.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into P ARK, turn the engine off, and remove the ignition key .
CAUTION! • Before moving the shift lever out of P ARK, you must turn the ignition switch from the OFF posi- tion to the ON/RUN position, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever could result. • DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions.
If the transmission temperature exceeds normal operat- ing limits, the transmission controller will modify the transmission shift schedule and expand the range of torque converter clutch engagement. This is done to prevent transmission damage due to overheating.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will r eturn to normal operation. NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom- mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience.
NOTE: Engagement of the torque converter clutch is inhibited at very cold temperatures. Because the engine speed is higher when the torque converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmission is not shifting into Overdrive when cold. This is normal.
P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to shift out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil- dren should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever .
• Look at the transmission gear position display and verify that it indicates the P ARK position. • W ith brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever will not move out of P ARK. REVERSE This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
DRIVE This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the best fuel economy . The DRIVE position provides optimum driving characteristics under all normal operating conditions.
passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations. OPERA TION When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operate automatically , shifting between the six available gears.
• A void using speed control when AutoStick® is engaged. • T ransmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. • The system may revert to automatic shift mode if a fault or overheat condition is detected.

and maintain a good driving posture. A void sudden accelerations, turns or braking. In most cases there are no road signs, posted speed limits or signal lights. Therefor e you will need to use your own good judgment on what is safe and what is not. When on a trail, you should always be looking ahead for surface obstacles and changes in terrain.
NOTE: For maximum off-road performance, premium fuel is recommended. While the vehicle will operate on regular fuel when in L Off-Road mode, the engine has been calibrated for maximum performance using pre- mium fuel. Driving In Snow, Mud And Sand There is a drastic reduction in traction when driving in snow , mud or sand.
turning your steering wheel no mor e than a 1/4 turn quickly back and forth for additional traction. Mud holes pose an increased threat of vehicle damage and getting stuck.
Hills can cause serious problems. Some are just too steep to climb and should not be attempted. Y ou should always feel confident with the vehicle and your abilities. Y ou should always climb hills straight up and down. Never attempt to climb a hill on an angle.
W ARNING! Never attempt to climb a hill at an angle or turn around on a steep grade. Driving across an incline increases the risk of a rollover , which may result in severe injury . Driving Down Hill Before driving down a steep hill you need to determine if it is too steep for a safe descent.
W ARNING! Driving across an incline increases the risk of a rollover , which may result in severe injury . If Y ou Stall Or Begin T o Lose Headway If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing a steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to a stop and immediately apply the brake.
water into the engine air intake. If the engine stalls, do not attempt to r estart it. Determine if it has ingested water first. The key to any crossing is low and slow . Y ou want to use low (L Off-Road) with the 4WD LOCK engaged and proceed very slowly with a constant slow speed {3-5 mph (5–8 km/h) maximum} and light throttle.
Crossing Puddles, Pools, Flooded Areas Or Other Standing W ater Puddles, pools, flooded or other standing water ar eas normally contain murky or muddy waters. These water types normally contain hidden obstacles and make it difficult to determine an accurate water depth, approach angle, and bottom condition.
• Check for accumulations of plants or brush. These things could be a fire hazar d. They might hide damage to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle pinion seals, and propeller shafts.
NOTE: • Increased noise levels at the end of the steering wheel travel are consider ed normal and do not indicate that there is a problem with the power steering system. • Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steer- ing pump may make noise for a short amount of time.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage your power steering components. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty .
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 automatic transmission is placed in gear , the “Brake W arning Light” will flash.
W ARNING! • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. • Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with power assisted brakes as standard equipment. In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up. W ARNING! • Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.
requir ed. However , the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the “Brake W arning Light” is not on. If the “ABS W arning Light” is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of anti-lock brakes.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains sophis- ticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This in- terference can cause possible loss of Anti-Lock brak- ing capability .
stability . A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a limited slip differ ential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other , the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user ’ s safety or the safety of others.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) – If Equipped This system maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations. HDC will auto- matically apply the brakes to control downhill speed to between 4 mph (7 km/h) and 6 mph (9 km/h) depending on terrain.
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.
Disabling/Enabling HSA If you wish to turn on or off the HSA system, it can be done using the Customer Programmable Features in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Un- derstanding Y our Instrument Panel” for further informa- tion.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) This system enhances dir ectional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor- rects for over-steering or under-steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the over-steering or under-steering condi- tion.
ESC Operating Modes The ESC system has three available operating modes for four–wheel drive equipped vehicles and two available operating modes for two–wheel drive equipped vehicles. Full On (Four-Wheel Drive Models) Or On (T wo-Wheel Drive Models) This is the normal operating mode for ESC.
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.
so that it will not interfere with of f-road driving however , ESC function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 35 mph (56 km/h). The “ESC Activation/ Malfunction Indicator Light” will always be illuminated when ESC is off. T o turn ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC Off” switch.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And ESC OFF Indicator Light The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. It should go out with the engine running.
• Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system will be ON even if it was turned off pr eviously . • The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation.
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 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.

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 pressures can cause uneven wear pat- terns to develop across the tire tr ead.
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 manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct 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 pr ovide 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, r eplace (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 affects 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.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS The tires on the fr ont and rear of your vehicle operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates. These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tir e pr essure based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pressure. The tire pr essure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressur e of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressur e to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance or to pr ovide warning of a tire failur e or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressur e gauge while adjusting your tire pressur e. • Driving on a significantly under -inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. NOTE: Y our vehicle is equipped with a compact spare wheel and tire assembly . 1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not moni- tor the tire pressure in the compact spare tire.
Premium System – If Equipped The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressur e lev- els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressur e readings to the receiver module.
Should a low tire condition occur on any of the four active road tire(s), you should stop as soon as possible and inflate all tires that are flashing on the graphic display to the vehicle’s recommended cold placar d pr es- sure value.
If the ignition key 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 ⬙ SER VICE TPM SYSTEM ⬙ text message will not be present, and a pressure value will be displayed instead of dashes.
pressur e values still shown. This indicates that the pres- sure values are still being received from the TPM sensors but they may not be located in the corr ect vehicle position. The system still needs to be serviced as long as the ⬙ SER VICE TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message is displayed.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update automatically and the T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pr essure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However , continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is requir ed. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations.
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gaso- line containing more than 10% Ethanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability prob- lems, damage critical fuel system components, cause emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to illumi- nate.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emissions system performance in some vehicles.
CAUTION! (Continued) • An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate ser - vice.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper main- tenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repaired promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly , the MIL will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled. Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system.

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 Frontal Area Maximum GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Maximum T ongue Wt. (See Note) 2.
NOTE: The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight refer enced on the T ire and Loading Information placard. Refer to “T ire Safety Information” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to a collision. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be dif ficult for the driver to control.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T otal weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the following four ratings are not exceeded: 1. GVWR 2. GTW 3. GA WR 4. T ongue weight rating for the trailer hitch uti- lized. T owing Requirements – T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
T owing Requirements – T railer Brakes • Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer . This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury . • An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes.
T owing Requirements – T railer Lights And Wiring Whenever you pull a trailer , regar dless of the trailer size, stoplights and turn signals on the trailer are required for motoring safety . The T railer T ow Package may include a four - and seven- pin wiring harness.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area located away from heavy traffic. Manual T ransmission – If Equipped If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in first gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage.
If you REGULARL Y tow a trailer for more than 45 min- utes of continuous operation, then change the transmis- sion fluid and filter as specified for ⬙ police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer towing. ⬙ Refer to the ⬙ Maintenance Schedule ⬙ for the proper maintenance intervals.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traf fic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel. • Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.
Spare Tire Stowage The compact spar e tire is stowed under the r ear load floor in the cargo area. Spare T ire Removal Lift up the load floor cover and remove the hold down. Preparations For Jacking 1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoiding ice or slippery areas.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the jack- ing position. For example, if chang- ing the right front tir e, block the left rear wheel. NOTE: Passengers should not r emain in the vehicle while the vehicle is being jacked.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If working on or near a roadway , be extremely careful of motor traffic. • T o assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem facing out.
NOTE: Refer to “T ires — General Information” in “Start- ing And Operating” for further information about the spare tire, it’s use, and operation. 1. Remove the scissors jack and lug wr ench from the spare wheel as an assembly . T urn the jack screw to the left to loosen the lug wrench and remove the wrench from the jack assembly .
NOTE: There are front and rear jacking locations on each side of the body . The fr ont locations are outlined by two triangular cutouts on one of the flanges in the sill flange assembly . The rear location is the same but with two rectangular cutouts.
Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged. 3. T urn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking location. Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack screw to the right until the jack head is properly engaged with the lift area closest to the wheel to be changed.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel and wheel covers, where applicable, of f the hub. Install the spare wheel and wheel nuts with the cone shaped end of the nuts toward the wheel.
W ARNING! T o avoid possible personal injury , handle the wheel covers with care to avoid contact with any sharp edges. NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the wheel nuts. When reinstalling the original wheel, prop- erly align the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto the wheel, then install the wheel nuts.
W ARNING! A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve- hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places provided. 9. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area, have the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
3. Install the five wheel lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut towar d the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. W ARNING! T o avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
6. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensur e that all lug nuts ar e properly seated against the wheel. V ehicles Without Wheel Covers 1. Mount the road tire on the axle. 2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel.
JUMP-ST ARTING PROCEDURES If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump- started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump-starting can be danger ous if done impr operly so please follow the procedures in this section carefully .
Preparations For Jump-Start The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment below the air intake duct. T o access the battery remove the air intake duct by turning the two finger screws, located on the radiator support.
W ARNING! • T ake care to avoid the radiator cooling fan when- ever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is ON. Y ou can be injured by moving fan blades. • Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch bands and bracelets that could make an inadvertent electrical contact.
CAUTION! Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle. NOTE: Remove Air Intake before proceeding with this Jump-Starting procedure. 1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.
8. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery . 9. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle. 10. Reinstall the air intake duct.
CAUTION! Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the en- gine to idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could explode and injure someone.
4. T urn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine. 5. Press and maintain firm pressur e on the brake pedal. 6. Insert the screwdriver or similar tool into the access port, and push and hold the override release lever forward.

Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be r eplaced with a new filter at every engine oil change. Engine Oil Filter Selection This manufactur er’s engines have a full-flow type oil filter .
Maintenance-Free Battery Y our vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free battery . Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic main- tenance required. W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing.
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 are 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! Do not remove the A/C air filter while the blower is operating or personal injury may result. The A/C air filter is located in the fresh air inlet behind the glove box. Perform the following procedure to re- place the filter: 1. Open the glove compartment and r emove all contents.
6. Install the A/C air filter with the arrow on the filter pointing toward the floor . When installing the filter cover , make sure the retaining tabs fully engage the cover . CAUTION! The A/C air filter is identified with an arrow to indicate airflow direction through the filter .
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield. A void using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the windshield.
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly maintained engine exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or if.
CAUTION! • The catalytic converter requires the use of un- leaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emissions control device and may seriously reduce engine perfor- mance and cause serious damage to the engine.
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut of f the engine or interrupt the ignition, when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh engine coolant (anti- freeze).
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive T echnology (OA T) en- gine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection.
.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of for eign material on the sealing surfaces. 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.
The radiator normally r emains completely full, so ther e is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for the coolant freeze point or replacing the engine coolant (antifreeze). Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
• Make sure that the coolant expansion bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed. • Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean. • Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation.
when the pads are r eplaced. However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a manual trans- mission , the brake fluid reservoir supplies fluid to both the brake system and the clutch release system.
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.
Automatic T ransmission – If Equipped Selection Of Lubricant (6-Speed T ransmission) It is important to use the pr oper transmission fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance and life. Use only the manufactur er ’s r ecommended transmission fluid.
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turer’s recommended fluid may cause belt slip and result in a complete transmission failure! Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Main- taining Y our V ehicle” for fluid specifications.
CAUTION! If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your autho- rized dealer immediately . Severe transmission dam- age may occur . Y our authorized dealer has the proper tools to adjust the fluid level accurately . Fluid And Filter Changes Refer to the ⬙ Maintenance Schedule ⬙ for the proper maintenance intervals.
