A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y ou can insert the double sided keys into the locks with either side up. The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer .
NOTE: If you try to remove the key befor e you place the lever in P ARK, the key may become trapped tempo- rarily in the key cylinder . If this occurs, rotate the key clockwise slightly , then remove the key as described.
SENTR Y KEY — IF EQUIPPED W ith this system, an electronically coded ignition key sends a signal to the vehicle electronics. If the electr onics recognizes the signal, the vehicle will start and continue to run. If the system does not r ecognize the signal the vehicle will start and run for 2 seconds then shut of f.
Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it can not be programmed to any other vehicle. At the time of purchase, the original owner is pr ovided with a four digit PIN number .
General Information The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. this device may not cause harmful interference 2.
Power Door Locks There is a door lock switch on each fr ont door trim panel located to the front of the door handle. Pr ess this switch to lock or unlock the four doors. If you press the door lock switch while the keys ar e in the ignition switch, and the driver’s door is open, the doors will not lock.
Central Locking — If Equipped All vehicle doors are locked with the first turn of the key to the LOCK position. The double activation feature requir es you to turn the key in the cylinder lock two times within five seconds to UNLOCK all vehicle doors at once.
3. Depress the power door lock switch to lock the doors. 4. A single chime will indicate the completion of the programming. Automatic Unlock on Exit — Only A vailable if Automatic Door Locks are Enabled This feature will unlock all the doors when the driver’s door is opened and the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
“Child Protection” Door Lock System (Rear Doors) T o provide a safer envir onment for small children riding in the rear seat, the r ear doors of your vehicle have the “child-protection” door lock system.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y — IF EQUIPPED This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors or open the trunk fr om distances up to 23 feet (7 meters) using a transmitter . Y ou don’t have to point the transmit- ter at the vehicle to activate the system.
T o lock the doors: The horn will chirp and the headlamps will flash once to acknowledge the lock signal. NOTE: The horn chirp can be enabled or disabled by the following procedur e: 1.
2. Using a currently programmed transmitter , press the Unlock button on the transmitter . Continue to hold the Unlock button, wait at least 4 but no longer than 10 seconds, then press and hold the Panic button for at least one second. Release both buttons simultaneously .
T ransmitter Battery Service The recommended r eplacement batteries are CR2016. 1. Pry the transmitter halves apart with a dime or similar object. Make sure not to damage the r ubber gasket material during removal. 2. Remove and replace the batteries.
3. The light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for 15 seconds. This shows that the system is arming. If the light comes on but does not flash, the system is still armed, but there is a pr oblem in the trunk circuit. After 15 seconds the light will continue to flash slowly .
W ith the ignition ON, the word “deck” will be displayed in place of the odometer display indicating that the trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear once the trunk is closed or if the trip button is depr essed. W ith the key in lock position or key out, the “deck” will be displayed until the trunk is closed.
WINDOWS Power Windows W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle, with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the power windows while operating the power window switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
W ind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be mini- mized.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thr own from the vehicle. Seat belts r educe the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the front seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up a bit 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.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belts in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt system by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least thr ee times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while r e-buckling the seat belt.
Driver and Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured be- cause the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Children that ar e not big enough to properly wear the vehicle seat belt (see section on “Child Restraint”) should be secured in the r ear seat in child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child r estraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
• AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting W iring • Knee Impact Bolsters • Left and Right W indow Bag.
W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG light in your instrument panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
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.
Children 12 years and under should ride pr operly buck- led up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children ar e safer when properly r estrained in the rear seats rather than in the fr ont. W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle.
airbag unless the airbag is turned off. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing dir ection are for childr en who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year .
LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems ar e now avail- able. However , because the lower anchorages are to be introduced over a period of years, child r estraint systems having attachments for those anchorages will continue to also have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat belts.
Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system. The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seat back, and are just visible when you lean into the r ear seat to install the child restraint.
installing the child restraint buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach. If the buckled seat belt interfer es with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it.
Child restraint tether strap attachment 1. Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts. ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS The engine in your new vehicle does not requir e a long break-in period. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
• T o avoid drawing exhaust gases into the vehicle, close the trunk while driving. However , if for some reason it must remain open, close all windows. Adjust the heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
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! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
If Engine Fails to Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “NORMAL ST AR TING” or “EXTREME COLD WEA THER” procedur es, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine.
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) ar e expected to last for several days.
CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
Four Speed Automatic T ransaxle The electronically contr olled transaxle provides a pr ecise shift schedule. The transaxle electronics ar e self calibrat- ing; therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and pr eci- sion shifts will develop within a few shift cycles.
W ARNING! Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P (Park). Check by trying to move the gearshift lever back and forth without depressing the shift button after you have set it in P . Make sure it is in Park before leaving the vehicle.
NOTE: Using the “3” range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor - mance, fuel economy , and extend transaxle life by reduc- ing excessive shifting and heat build up. Use the “3” range when descending steep grades to prevent brake system distr ess.
T o release the parking brake, apply the brake pedal and pull up on the parking brake lever . Push the release button and lower the lever fully . When parking on a hill, it is important to set the par.
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, r epeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
During stops where ABS is activated, a vibration of the brake pedal may be felt and associated system noises may be heard. W ARNING! Pumping of the brake pedal will diminish the effec- tiveness of Anti-lock brakes and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer .
POWER STEERING The power assisted steering system of your vehicle provides mechanical steering capability in the event power assist is lost. If for some reason the hydraulic pr essure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort.
• The system has been automatically deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to over heated brake temperatures. NOTE: Extended heavy use of T raction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the traction control light located in the instr ument cluster .
• European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standar d have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter ⬙ P ⬙ is absent from this tir e size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T (Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tir e can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tir e 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 T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressur e is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
166 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
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.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure”.
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h). See the paragraph on Freeing A Stuck V ehicle in Section 6 of this manual. W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains ar e not recom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tir es during winter .
Follow the recommended tir e rotation fr equency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” Section of this manual. More fr equent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected befor e rotating.
Y ou can shift in or out of the autostick mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you choose the Overdrive mode, the transaxle will operate automatically; shifting between the four available gears. When you wish to engage autostick, simply move the autostick lever to the AUTOSTICK position.
• If the system detects a problem it will disable the Autostick mode and the transaxle will return to the automatic mode until the problem is corr ected. FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sion regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy when using high quality regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with mate- rials called oxygenates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE and ETBE. Oxygenates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.
conditions and would result in additional cost. Ther efore you should not have to add anything to the fuel. Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
• Guard against carbon monoxide with pr oper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
Fuel Requirements Y our vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of these two. For best results, a r efueling pattern that alternates be- tween E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be avoided.
Replacement Parts Many components in your Flexible Fuel V ehicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible with ethanol. Always be sur e that your vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol com- patible parts. CAUTION! Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle.
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. The Malfunction Indicator Light will come on if the gas cap is not properly secur ed. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to decide if any apply to you.
If none of these apply to you, then change your engine oil at every interval shown on schedule ⬙ A ⬙ of the ⬙ Mainte- nance Schedules ⬙ section of this manual. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months whichever comes first.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -20 and SAE 5W -30 engine oils are recom- mended for all operating temperatures. These engine oils are designed to improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehicle.
Engine Oil Filter Selection All manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type dispos- able oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replacement. The quality of replacement filters varies considerably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most ef ficient service.
W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the engine compartment before starting the vehicle with the air cleaner removed.

Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant.
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (a few kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
Pay particular attention to those hoses nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect hose routing to be sur e hoses do not touch any heat source or moving component that may cause heat damage or mechanical wear . Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. NOTE: Often, fluids such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to ease the assembly of hoses to couplings. There- fore, oil wetness at the hose-coupling ar ea is not neces- sarily an indication of leakage.
Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended brake fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. W ARNING! Use of a brake fluid that has a lower initial boiling point than MOP AR DOT 3 Brake Fluid or that is unidentified as to DOT FMVSS specification may result in sudden brake failure during hard or pro- longed braking.
Selection of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transmission to assure optimum transmission perfor - mance. Use only manufacturers r ecommended transmis- sion fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
• If the fluid is hot (180°F / 82°C), the reading should be in the cross hatched ar ea marked ”HOT” (between the upper two holes in the dipstick). • If the fluid level shows low , add sufficient transmis- sion fluid to bring to the proper level.
