This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference that may be received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. Remove and replace the batteries. A void touching the new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery , clean it with rubbing alcohol. 3. T o assemble the transmitter case, snap the two halves together .
DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks Use the manual door lock plunger to lock the doors from inside the vehicle. If the plunger is down when the door is closed, the door will lock. Therefore, make sure the keys are not inside the vehicle before closing the door .
CAUTION! An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all of the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Power Door Locks A door lock switch is located on the driver door panel. Press this switch to lock or unlock the doors.
3. All doors are closed. 4. The throttle is pressed. 5. The vehicle speed is above 15 mph (24 km/h). 6. The doors were not pr eviously locked using the power door lock switch or remote keyless entry transmitter . The Automatic Door Lock feature can be enabled or disabled.
1. The Auto Unlock feature is enabled. 2. The transmission was in gear and the vehicle speed returned to 0 mph (0 km/h). 3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL or P ARK. 4. The driver door is opened. 5. The doors were not previously unlocked. 6. The vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).
NOTE: Use the Auto Door Locks and Auto Unlock features in accordance with local laws. “Child-Protection” Door Lock System (Rear Doors) — If Equipped Insert the tip of the ignition key into the lock and rotate to the lock or unlock position. W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision.
NOTE: For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the lock plunger up (unlocked position), roll down window and open the door with the outside door handle. POWER WINDOWS— IF EQUIPPED Power Window Switches The control on the left front door has up-down switches that give you finger tip control of all four power win- dows.
Window Lockout Switch The window lockout switch on the driver’s door allows you to disable the window control on the other doors. T o disable the window contr ols on the other doors, press the window lock button. T o enable the window controls, press the window control button again.
NOTE: In the event of a power malfunction, or the remote transmitter is inoperative, insert the key into the liftgate lock cylinder and turn to the right (manual lock models only). Using the liftgate handle, pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
Gas pr ops support the liftgate in the open position. However , because the gas pressur e dr ops with tempera- ture, it may be necessary to assist the pr ops when opening the liftgate in cold weather . OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems.
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All the seats in your vehicle are equipped with Lap/ Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 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.
4. 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, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you ar e shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
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 seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
6. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 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.
8. 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. 9.
The pretensioners are triggered by the Airbag Control Module (refer to information on Airbags in this section). Like the front airbags, the pretensioners are single use items. After a collision that is severe enough to deploy the airbags and pretensioners, both must be replaced.
NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to retract the seat belt. 4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment.
NOTE: Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the proper performance of the curtain airbags. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger .
5. If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the fr ont passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint (refer to information on Child Restraint in this section).
Air Bag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Side Remote Acceleration Sensors (If Equipped) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver A.
• The ORC also turns on the Airbag W arning Light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds as a self-check when the ignition is first turned on. After the self-check, the Airbag W arning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Airbag W arning Light either momentarily or continu- ously .
• The Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbag are de- signed to activate only in certain side collisions. When the ORC (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the side curtain airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle.
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-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic 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 because the airbags are not there to protect you.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to 5 - seconds of specific vehicle data param- eters (see list below) in an event data r ecorder prior to .
custodial entity upon request. General data that does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US government and various states.
• Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status • T ire pressur e monitoring system status Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small childr en ride in pr oper restraint systems.
• Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and 9 convertible 9 child seats.
shoulder belt. (Some booster seats are equipped with a front shield and are held in the vehicle by the lap portion.) NOTE: For additional information refer to www .seatcheck.org. W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. If the seat belt has a cinching latch plate, pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt.
Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) T o operate the switchable retractor , pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then pull on the belt until it is all removed from the r etractor .
LA TCH-compatible, you can only install the child re- straints using the vehicle’s seat belts. Please refer to, Installing the Child Restraint System for typical installa- tion instructions. Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available.
NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant r estraints are stowed and out of reach of children. It is recommended that befor e installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child r estraint and out of reach.
rear of the seat back. Then tighten all three straps as you push the child r estraint rearwar d and downwar d into the seat. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, car efully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty . SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor , torn webbing, etc. If there is any question r egarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt.

Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired op- eration.
W ARNING! • Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust the seat only while the vehicle is parked.
Manual Lumbar— If Equipped The Lumbar adjustment is located on the outboard side of the driver’s seat. T o incr ease or decrease support, rotate the handle up or down. Driver’s Seat Back Recline T o recline: 1. Lean forward before lifting the handle, then lean back to the desired position and release the handle.
Adjustable Head Restraints Head restraints can reduce the risk of whiplash injury in the event of impact from the rear . Pull up or push down on the head restraints so that the upper edge is as high as practical. T o raise the head restraint, pull up on the head restraint.
Heated Seats — If Equipped W ARNING! Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury , medication, alcohol use, exhaus- tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater .
When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated.

For additional comfort, pull the strap forward just enough to r elease the seatback latch. Then push the seatback to a reclined position, approximately 35 degrees maximum, and release the strap. W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE HOOD T o open the hood, two latches must be released. First pull the hood release lever located on the left kick panel. Then move the safety catch located under the fr ont edge of the hood, near the center and raise the hood.
T o prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Lower the hood until it is open approximately 20 cm (8 inches) and then drop it. This should secure both latches. Never drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed, with both latches engaged.
NOTE: The lights will remain on until the switch is pressed a second time, so be sure they have been turned off before leaving the vehicle. They will not turn off automatically .
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If Equipped The high beam lights will come on as Daytime Running Lights (DRL) at DRL intensity (lower), whenever the ignition is on, the engine is running, the headlight switch is off, the parking brake is off, the turn signal is of f, and the gear shift is in any position except park.
Fog Lights — If Equipped The front fog light switch is on the Multi-Function Control Lever . T o activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights and pull out the end of the control lever . NOTE: The fog lights will only operate with the head- lights on low beam.
Move the Multi-Function Control Lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. Y ou can signal a lane change by moving the lever partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.
Passing Light Y ou can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the Multi-Function Control Lever toward you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
The auxiliary Off-Road lights can be turned on by pressing the top of the switch when Off-Road conditions requir e additional lighting. T o turn off the auxiliary lights press the bottom of the switch. WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND W ASHERS The wipers and washers are operated by a switch on the control lever .
If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers will operate for two wipe cycles, then turn OFF . Mist Feature Push down on the wiper control lever to activate a single wipe to clear the windshield of r oad mist or spray from a passing vehicle.
CAUTION! In cold weather , always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be- tween cycles, desirable. Select the delay interval by turning the end of the lever . Rotate the knob upward (clockwise) to decrease the delay time and downward (counterclockwise) to increase the delay time.
W ARNING! T ilting the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without a stable steering col- umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve- hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.
W ARNING! Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. Y ou could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. Y ou could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not using it.
T apping “RESUME ACCEL” once will result i na1m p h (1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped, speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc. T o decrease speed while speed control is ON, push down and hold “SET DECEL”.
Using Speed Control On Hills NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM – ABS/TCS/BAS/ERM/ESP Y our vehicle may be equipped with an optional ad- vanced electronic brake contr ol system that includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), T raction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System ( BAS), Electr onic Roll Miti- gation (ERM) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional contr ol and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appr opriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! • Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would normally allow is requir ed to gain traction. T o turn ESP on again, momentarily depr ess the “ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation. W ARNING! In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized.
In this mode, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35 mph (56 km/h) the normal ESP stability function returns with the exception of engine power r eduction.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emer- gency evasive maneuver , the ESP system will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . “ESP Off” mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use, only .
W ARNING! Y our motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the Universal T ransceiver . Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by federal safety stan- dards.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
start within 15 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedur e. W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic trans- axle cannot be started this way .
W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time.
Fully depress the clutch pedal before you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelera- tor pedal. Use each gear in numerical order - do not skip a gear . Be sure the transaxle is in 1st gear , (not 3rd), when starting from a standing position.
Recommended Shift Speeds T o use your manual transaxle for optimal fuel economy , it should be upshifted as listed in table. Manual T ransaxle Recommended Shift Speeds Units in mph (km/h) Engine Size .
AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE — IF EQUIPPED CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into P (Park) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P (Park) or N (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.
Gear Ranges For Continuously V ariable Automatic T ransaxle (CVT) DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) positions into another gear range. P (Park) Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis- sion. The engine can be started in this range.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park), firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops. • Look at the shift indicator window on the shifter bezel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
AUTOSTICK — IF EQUIPPED Autostick is a driver-interactive transmission that offers six manual ratio changes to provide you with more control. Autostick allows you to maximize engine brak- ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
Autostick operation is activated in the 9 D 9 position by moving the shift lever side to side. Moving the lever to the (+) side will activate Autostick and shift up to the next higher manual ratio, unless you are already operat- ing in or near overdrive in which case, 6th ratio will be selected.
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION — IF EQUIPPED This feature provides full time, on-demand, Four Wheel Drive (4WD). Where one or more wheels have wheel spin or if addi- tional traction is needed in sand, deep snow , or loose traction surfaces, activate the 4WD LOCK switch by pulling up once and releasing.
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the front wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet, mud, loose sand, etc.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or cross a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow- ing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances.
NOTE: The parking brake lever will not release unless the lever is pulled up slightly past its applied position. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the automatic transaxle locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of Park.
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) — If Equipped The Anti-Lock Brake System pr ovides 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.
The ABS light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is requir ed.
• and a slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop. These are all normal characteristics of ABS. W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment.
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.
• European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standard have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter 9 P 9 is absent from this tire size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T (Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.

EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire; however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 255 5 I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they are under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
T ire 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 pressure is very important.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tir es. It is engineered to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be repaired (or replaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
original equipped tir e on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same tir e, replace (or repair) the original tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tir es to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident 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 un- approved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains are not recom- mended.
Follow the r ecommended tire rotation fr equency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” Section of this manual. More frequent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corr ected befor e rotating.
pressur e will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal and there should be no adjustment for this increased pressure. • The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e if.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressur e, and the TPM system will monitor the actual tire pressur e in the tire. Base System – If Equipped This is the T ire Pressur e Monitoring System warn- ing indicator located in the instrument cluster .
The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Lamp will flash on and off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid when a system fault is detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists.
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 TPM T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four active road tires.
addition, the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a graphic of the pr essure value(s) with the low tire(s) flashing. Should a low tire condition occur on any of the four active .
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 Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light will no longer flash, the 9 CHECK TPM SYSTEM 9 text message will not be present, and a pressure value will be displayed instead of dashes.
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in the compact spare tire.
SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during winter . Standard tir es are of the all season type and satisfy this requir ement as indicated by the M+S designation on the tire sidewall. If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tir es.
symptoms, try another brand of gasoline (with the ap- propriate octane rating for your engine) before consider- ing service for the vehicle. Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber . Gasolines blended with MMT offer no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT .
• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the Malfunction Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transaxle control systems.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is possible loose or improperly installed. A GASCAP message will be dis- played in the instr ument cluster . T ighten the gas cap until a 9 clicking 9 sound is heard.
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 system is r eady , you must do the following: 1. Insert your ignition key into the ignition switch. 2. T urn the ignition to the ON position, but do not crank or start the engine.
vehicle serviced befor e going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL symbol is on with the engine running. REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine Mopar t parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to in- sure the designed performance.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides the maintenance items for which there ar e fixed maintenance intervals, there are other items that should operate satisfactorily without periodic maintenance.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground and only when the engine is hot, will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain the oil level between the range markings on the dipstick.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only recommends API Certified engine oils. Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil fr om your vehicle. Used oil, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your dealer , service station, or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil can be safely discarded in your area.
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.
Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause hard starting or limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, frequent filter replacement may be necessary . The fuel filters are located inside the fuel tank.
Maintenance-Free Battery Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic main- tenance requir ed. CAUTION! When servicing the battery , always reinstall the bat- tery thermowrap. The thermowrap provides battery heat protection and will extend overall battery life.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level.
Windshield Wiper Blades Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner or use the washer solvent. This will remove accumulations of salt, waxes or road film and help reduce streaking and smearing.
when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have a competent technician inspect the complete ex- haust system and adjacent body areas for broken, dam- aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and r efilled with fr esh coolant.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified Hybrid Or- ganic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T coolant is intro- duced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system. Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to main- tain the proper level of protection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatures occurring in the ar ea where the vehicle is operated.
Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance r equiring proper 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 coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle.
Hoses And V acuum/V apor Harnesses Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard or soft spots, brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and exc.
W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident. Driving with your foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear , and possible brake damage. Y ou wouldn’t have your full braking capacity in an emergency .
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuf fing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
W ARNING! Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Y ou could have an accident. CAUTION! Use of improper brake fluids will affect overall clutch system performance.
Automatic T ransaxle (CVT) Selection Of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transaxle to assur e optimum transaxle performance.
Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug. The fluid level should be between the bottom of the fill hole and a point not more that 3/16” (4.7 mm) below the bottom of the hole. Add fluid, if necessary , to maintain the proper level.
Power T ransfer Unit (PTU) – A WD/4WD Models Only Lubricant Selection Use only the manufacturers recommended fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” for correct fluid type. Fluid Level Check V isually inspected the unit at each oil change for leakage.
What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings from your vehicle. The most common causes are: • Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation. • Stone and gravel impact. • Insects, tree sap and tar .
Special Care • If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose of f the undercarriage at least once a month. • It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors, r ocker panels and trunk be kept clear and open.
YES Essentials t Fabric Cleaning Procedure – If Equipped YES Essentials t seats may be cleaned in the following manner: • Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean, dry towel. • Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel.
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. Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle has plastic headlights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights.
