location. This number is requir ed for dealer replacement of Fobs. Duplication of Fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Pro- gramming procedure. This procedure consists of pro- gramming a blank Fob to the vehicle electronics.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your dealer to have all r emaining keys erased from the systems memory . This will pr event the lost key fr om starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be repro- grammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to the dealer at the time of service to be repr ogrammed.
T o Arm the System: Remove the key from the ignition switch and either pr ess a power door lock switch while the driver or passenger door is open or pr ess the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
If the alarm system is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the system will r emain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the system.

will remain active for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. For vehicles equipped with the EVIC, the power window switches will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position.
Reset Any time the vehicle battery is disconnected, or goes dead, the auto-up function will be disabled. T o reactivate the auto-up feature, perform the following steps after vehicle power is restor ed: 1.
TRUNK LOCK AND RELEASE The trunk lid can be released from inside the vehicle by pressing the T runk Release Button located on the instru- ment panel to the left of the steering wheel. NOTE: The transmission must be in “P” (Park) before the switch will operate.
TRUNK SAFETY W ARNING W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape, even if they entered through the rear seat.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, the front air.
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with Lap/Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or impacts.
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.
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. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o r emove 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.
In the rear seat, move toward the center of the seat to position the belt away from your neck. Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.
Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert 姞 ) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert 威 ) will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt.
NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn 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.
How T o Disengage The Automatic Locking Mode Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emer- gency) locking mode. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy .
Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has fr ont airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them.
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental front-seat- mounted side airbags, they are marked with an SRS label sewn into the outboard side of the seat.
W ARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front-seat- mounted side airbags, do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the seat airbags; the perfor- mance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury .
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years old and under should ride buckled up in the rear seat. 2. Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag.
10. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are provided in the ⬙ If Y ou Need Customer Assistance ⬙ section in this manual. W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
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.
• For vehicles so equipped, The ORC also determines if a side impact is severe enough to deploy the supple- mental side curtain airbag and/or supplemental fr ont- seat-mounted side airbag as required for each type of impact.
airbag inflation rates may be possible based on colli- sion severity . The steering wheel hub trim cover , and the upper passenger side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way , as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 - 70 milliseconds.
vehicle. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front-seat-mounted side airbag. The inflat- ing fr ont-seat-mounted side airbag pushes thr ough the seam in the seat’s trim cover and opens into the space between the occupant and the door .
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front seat assembly , its related components, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag de- ployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver or front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or throat irritation, move to fresh air .
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 parameters (see the following list) in an event data recor der prior.
may be released for incorporation in aggr egate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US govern- ment and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver , ve- hicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially .
• Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status • T ire pressur e monitoring system status (if equipped) Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time — babies and children, too.
There are differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner’s Manual to ensure you have the correct seat for your child.
than one year . These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren)” in this section.
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. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) Y our vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all child r estraint systems will be installed as described here. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were provided with the child restraint system.
means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some rear -facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it.
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seat backs as you remove slack in the strap. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to in- creased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
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 T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
Exhaust Gas Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer than needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area. If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling controls to force outside air into the vehicle.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.
Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check ar ea under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately .

T o Resume Speed: Push the lever up and r elease (“RESUME ACCEL”), and then remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The EVIC will display the last set speed. W ARNING! The Resume function should only be used if traffic and road conditions permit.
T apping the lever down once will result i na1m p h (Canada 1 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in a decrease of 1 mph (Canada 1 km/h).
Y ou can change the distance setting by pushing the lever away from you and release (“DIST ANCE”). Each time this is done, the distance setting toggles between long, medium, and short. If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the set speed.
A Proximity W arning will alert the driver if ACC predicts that its maximum braking level is not sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert (“A TTENTION”) will flash in the EVIC and a chime will sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking capacity .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Menu The EVIC displays the current ACC system settings. The EVIC is located in the upper part of the instrument cluster between the speedometer and the tachometer . The information it displays depends on ACC system status.
ACC READY − When ACC is activated, the display will read “ACC READY .” ACC SET − When ACC is set, the set speed will display . 1 — Sensed V ehicle Indicator 2 — Set Speed 3 — Y our V ehicle 4 — Following Distance Setting: Three Bars = Long; T wo Bars = Medium; One Bar = Short.
The set speed will continue to display in place of the odometer reading when changing the EVIC display while ACC is set. The ACC SET scr een will display once again if any ACC activity occurs, which m.
Display W arnings & Maintenance ACC Blinded W arning The ACC Blinded W arning will display when conditions temporarily limit system performance. This most often occurs at times of poor visibility , such as in snow , fog, heavy rain, or when driving into dir ect sunlight (sunrise or sunset).
If weather conditions are not a factor , the driver should examine the sensor . It may r equire cleaning or r emoval of an obstruction. The sensor is located behind the grille, slightly offset from the center of the grille.
NOTE: Installing a vehicle front-end pr otector or an aftermarket grille or modifying the grille is not recom- mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit ACC operation. ACC Unavailable W arning If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays ⬙ ACC UNA V AILABLE, ⬙ there may be a temporary malfunction that limits ACC functionality .
Precautions While Driving with ACC In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or unexpect- edly . The driver needs to stay alert and may need to intervene. Offset Driving ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that is offset from your direct line of travel.
ACC may occasionally provide braking and/or a driver alert that you consider unnecessary . This may be the system’s response to signs, guardrails, and other station- ary objects in a curve. This may also occur at the base of dramatic hills. This is normal operation and your vehicle does not requir e service.
Lane Changing ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane in which you are traveling. In the illustration shown, ACC has not yet detected the vehicle changing lanes and it will not until it may be too late to take action. ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane.
Narrow V ehicles Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer edges of the lane or edging into the lane ar e not detected until they have moved fully into the lane. There will not be suffi- cient distance to the vehicle ahead. Stationary Objects and V ehicles ACC does not react to stationary objects and stationary vehicles.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Automatic T ransmission The gear selector must be in the “N” (Neutral) or “P” (Park) position befor e you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear .
Normal Starting (Tip Start) NOTE: Normal Starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. Do not press the accelerator . Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the ST ART position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
If Engine Fails T o Start W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury . • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
After Starting The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cor d to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” 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.
• The electronically controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electr onics are self-calibrating. Therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt or soft until after the break-in period. This is a normal condition, and pre- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles.
Over T emperature Mode The transmission electronics constantly monitor the transmission oil temperature. If the transmission exceeds normal operating temperature, the transmission will change the way it shifts to help control the condition.
tab, which can be accessed through a hole inside the bin. While the override is pressed, the shifter can be moved out of the “P” (Park) position without pr essing the brake. After operation, return the rubber storage tray to its original position.
Never use “P” (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. When parking on a flat surface, place the gear selector in the “P” (Park) position first, and then apply the parking brake.
CAUTION! Damage to the shifter could result if the selector lever is moved out of “P” (Park) before the ignition is turned from the LOCK to ON position. “R” (Reverse) For moving the vehicle r earward. Always stop befor e moving the lever to “R” (Reverse), except when rocking the vehicle.
shifts, and the best fuel economy . Select the “3” range when frequent transmission shifting occurs when using the Overdrive range, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions (in hilly terrain, travel- ing into strong head winds, or while towing heavy trailers.
CAUTION! Never race the engine with the brakes on and the vehicle in gear , and never hold the vehicle on an incline without applying the brakes. These practices can cause overheating and damage to the transmission. T orque Converter Clutch A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been added to the automatic transmission of this vehicle.
T ransmission Limp Home Mode The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the transmission automatically shifts into second gear . The transmission remains in second gear despite the forward gear selected.
Gear Ranges “P” (Park) “P” (Park) supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use “P” (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range.
W ARNING! Never use “P” (Park) position on an automatic trans- mission as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason with selector lever in NEUTRAL can result in trans- mission damage. W ARNING! Do not coast in “N” (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.
the selector lever in the “D -” direction and the transmis- sion will shift from the current gear to the next lower gear . Press and hold the selector lever in the “D-” direction and the transmission will shift from the current gear directly to the next lowest gear for best acceleration.
damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode. If vehicle acceleration worsens, or the transmission no longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating in the Limp Home Mode. In this mode, the transmission will remain in the current gear until the vehicle is brought to a stop.
In Permanent Limp Home Mode, “P” (Park), “R” (Re- verse), and “N” (Neutral) will continue to operate. Sec- ond gear will operate in the “D” (Drive) shifter position.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE — IF EQUIPPED This feature pr ovides full time All Wheel Drive (A WD) with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)/T raction Control. The front wheels provide 38% of the torque, and the rear wheels provide 62% of the torque. The system is auto- matic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills requir ed.
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precau- tions should be observed: 1.
Shallow Standing W ater Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water , consider the following before doing so: CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.
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.
otherwise the load on the transmission locking mecha- nism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel.
W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Anti-Lock Brake System — 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.
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 equip- ment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
If both the Brake W arning Light and the ABS Light remain on, the Anti-Lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems are not function- ing.
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. Damage to the power steering pump may occur . MUL TI DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) — 5.
The TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of each driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
Refer to “Electronic Stability Program (ESP)” in this section for additional system information and operating instructions. BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) — IF EQUIPPED W ARNING! The BAS (Brake Assis.
ELECTRONIC ST ABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) — IF EQUIPPED W ARNING! The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions.
The ESP/TCS indicator light, located in the instrument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The indicator light also flashes when the TCS is active. If the indicator light begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.
CAUTION! When the ESP/TCS indicator light is illuminated continuously , the ESP is switched off. A void spin- ning one drive wheel. This may cause serious dam- age to the drive train. CAUTION! If the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised, the engine must be shut of f (key in the ignition switch to the LOCK or ACC position).
yellow ESP/TCS indicator light in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine running. The system will turn the ESP/BAS malfunction indicator light on continuously while the engine running if it detects a malfunction in either the ESP or the BAS or both.

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 reduce tread 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 repair ed (or replaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .

T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires 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 unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, result- ing in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a r esult of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . SELF-SEALING TIRES — IF EQUIPPED A non-hardening viscous sealant applied to the inner liner of each tire fills punctures up to 0.
NOTE: In order to avoid damage to tires, chains, and your vehicle do not drive for a prolonged period of time on dry pavement. Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage.
Remember , more frequent rotation is permissible if de- sired. Also, correct for anything causing rapid or unusual wear prior to performing the tire rotation.

5. Approximately 15 seconds later , one of two things will happen: a. The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.
DEALER SERVICE Y our dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner . Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these manuals befor e attempting any procedure yourself.
These items should be inspected if a malfunction is observed or suspected. Engine Oil Checking Oil Level — 2.7L, 3.5L Engines T o assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop.
Checking Oil Level — 5.7L Engine T o assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for information on this system.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to the “Engine Com- partment” illustration in this section. NOTE: V ehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine must use SAE 5W -20 oil.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil and Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment.
Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire properly to assure engine perfor- mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the specified mileage. The entir e set should be replaced if there is any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug. Malfunctioning spark plugs can damage the cata- lytic converter .
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destr oy the ef fectiveness 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.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water .
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 posi- tive (+) 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.
Install new filter with arrows pointing in the direction of airflow , which is toward the rear of the vehicle (text and arrows on the filter indicate this). Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the recommended air conditioning filter replacement intervals.
Steering Linkage The tie rod end ball joints should be inspected for external leakage or damage when other maintenance is performed. Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including seat tr.

vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, 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 refilled with fresh coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc.
CAUTION! • Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T engine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the speci- fied coolant as soon as possible.
• Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion- ized water when mixing the water/engine coolant solution. The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system.
Disposal of Used 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 .
• Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifreeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against freezing.
Insure nylon tubing in these areas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
Brake and Power Steering Hoses When the vehicle is serviced for scheduled maintenance, inspect surface of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration of the rubber .
Master Cylinder - Brake Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level in the master cylinder immediately if the brake system warning light indicates system fail- ure. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder when per- forming underhood services. Clean the top of the master cylinder ar ea befor e r emoving the cap.
CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum-base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage may result. Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks ar e not requir ed. For this reason, the dipstick is omitted.
Fluid and Filter Changes Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the recommended transmission fluid and filter change intervals. If the transmission is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
Fluid Changes Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the recommended transfer case fluid change intervals. Front and Rear Wheel Bearings Front and rear wheel bearings are permanently sealed. No regular maintenance is required for these compo- nents.
