The trunk lid can be r eleased from outside the vehicle by pressing the tr unk button on the Remote Keyless Entry T ransmitter two times. W ith the ignition ON, the trunk open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, fr ont airbags for both the driver and front passenger and, if so equipped, side curtain airbags for the driver and passen- gers seated next to a window .
W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
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.
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. 2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
BeltAlert Programming The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by performing the following steps: NOTE: DaimlerChrysler does not recommend deacti- vating the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert).
distinctive label on the webbing. Children 12 years old and under should be properly r estrained in the rear seat whenever possible. How T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted.
Driver and 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.
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deploy- ment. 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 because the airbags are no longer functional.
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 pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger .
8. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbags time to inflate. 9. If your vehicle has side curtain airbags do not lean against the door , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door .
• Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemental Side Curtain Airbags above Side W in- dows (if equipped) • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • .
W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG W arning Light in your instru- ment 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 .
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position every- one for the best interaction with the front airbag.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Enhanced Accident Response Feature If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically .
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs.

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
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 .
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.

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 rear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
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.
buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out. If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
CAUTION! Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result. NOTE: 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 br eak-in and not interpreted as an indication of dif ficulty .
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling contr ols to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
If Engine Fails T o Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “NORMAL ST ARTING” pr ocedure, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
seconds with the accelerator pedal pushed all the way to the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly . Do not overspeed the engine.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing 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.
The gear shifting process is continuously adapted, de- pendent on the driving style, the driving situation and the road characteristics. NOTE: • After selecting any driving position, wait a moment to allow the gear to engage fully before accelerating, especially when the engine is cold.
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. This may result in a slightly dif ferent feeling or response during normal operation in D (Drive) position.
out of the park position without pressing the brake. After operation, return the r ubber storage tray to its original position. 5 Speed Automatic T ransmission Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) (or from P or R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.
W ARNING! Never use Park position on an automatic transmis- sion 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.
Briefly , press the selector lever in the “D +” direction and the transmission will shift from the curr ent gear to the next higher gear . Press and hold the selector lever in the “D +” dir ection and the transmission will shift from the curr ent gear directly to gear “D.
6. Move the selector lever to the desired range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience.
• An UPSHIFT message will appear in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the in- strument cluster when using Autostick 威 . This message appears in order to alert the driver to upshift to the next gear . The UPSHIFT message will display while operating the vehicle at higher engine revolutions-per - minute (RPM).
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the rear wheels to pull errati- cally to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a dif ference in the surface traction under the rear (driving) wheels.
P ARKING BRAKE The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Never use Park position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 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.
The electronic brake for ce distribution (EBD) prevents the rear wheels fr om over-braking and pr ovides greater control of available braking for ces applied to the rear axle. When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (1 1 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to inter- ference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems ar e not function- ing. Immediate repair to the ABS system is requir ed. POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system commonly r eferred to as ESP . This system includes the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), the TCS (T raction Control System), the BAS (Brake Assist System), and the ESP (Electr onic Stability Program).
BAS (Brake Assist System) This system complements the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) by optimizing the vehicle braking capability dur- ing emergency braking maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer .
Partial Of f The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times when a more spirited driving experience is desir ed. It is also intended for driving in deep snow , sand, or gravel. This mode disables the TCS portion of the ESP and raises the threshold for ESP activation, which allows for more wheel spin than what ESP normally allows.
W ARNING! In the ESP Full Off mode, the engine torque reduc- tion and stability features are cancelled. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. NOTE: When the ESP is switched of f a feature of the system remains active.
ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator light for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator . The yellow “ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
EXAMPLE: 65 = Aspect Ratio in Percent (%) —Ratio of section height to section width of tire. 10.5 = Section W idth in Inches (in) R = Construction Code — ⬙ R ⬙ means Radial Construction.
EXAMPLE: C,D,E = Load range associated with the maximum load a tire can carry at a specified pr essure Maximum Load — Maximum Load indicates the maximum load this tire is designed to carry . Maximum Pressure — Maximum Pressur e indicates the maximum permissible cold tire inflation pr essure for this tire.
EXAMPLE: 01 = Number repr esenting the year in which the tire was manufactur ed. (2 digits) —01 means the year 2001. —Prior to July 2000, tire manufactur ers were only r equired to have 1 number to repr esent the year in which the tire was manufactur ed.
T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tells you important information about the: 1) number of people that can be carried in the vehicle 2) the total weight your vehicle can carry 3) the tire size designed for your vehicle 4) the cold tire inflation pr essures for the fr ont, rear and spare tir es.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occu- pants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
220 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. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion.
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).
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e 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 tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is im- portant that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
Tire Rotation — All Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” as shown in the following diagram.
• The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e if the tire pressur e falls below the low- pressur e warning limit for any reason, including low temperature ef fects.
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 using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
monitor tire pr essure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pr essure readings to the Receiver Module. NOTE: It is particularly important for you to check the tire pr essure in all of the tires on your vehicle r egularly and to maintain the proper pr essure.
