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 procedur e. This procedur e consists of pro- gramming a blank Fob to the vehicle electronics.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the systems memory . This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be r epro- 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 press 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 remain 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.
T o unlock the doors: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice within 5 seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.

LIFTGA TE The liftgate can be unlocked or locked by the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or by activating the power door lock switches located on the front doors.
NOTE: If a power malfunction occurs, you can use the emergency liftgate latch r elease to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch r elease is located behind a snap-in cover on the liftgate trim panel. W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
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, 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.
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.
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.
W ARNING! The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a lock-out feature to ensure that the rear seat back is in the fully upright and locked position when occupied.
In the rear seat, move towar d 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 T ) 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 t ) 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 r etract 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 pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy .
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.
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. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
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.
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 .
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 r estraint (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 monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON positions. These include all of the items listed above except the knee bolster , the instru- ment panel, and the steering wheel and column.
separate and fold out of the way , as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 - 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time that it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and fr ont passenger .
seam in the seat’s trim cover and opens into the space between the occupant and the door . The airbag inflates at a very high speed and with enough force to injur e you if you are not belted and seated pr operly , or if items are positioned in the ar ea where the fr ont-seat- mounted side airbag inflates.
If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the ORC detects a moderate-to-severe collision, to help r estrain the driver and front passenger , and then to immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
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 System In the event of an impac.
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 .
• 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. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en 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 “convertible” child seats.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
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 car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system.
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
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 tr ouble 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 fr om 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 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.
shown in Section 7 of this manual. NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE USED. 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 .
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 contr ols 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.
Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

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 AR T 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 cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cor d.
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 contr olled 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 pr e- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles.

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 pressing the brake. After operation, return the r ubber 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 rearwar d. Always stop before 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 impr ove 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 forwar d 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.

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 curr ent 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 pr ovide 38% of the torque, and the r ear wheels provide 62% of the tor que. 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 r oad 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.
When parking on a hill, it is important to apply the parking brake before placing the gear selector in P (Park), otherwise the load on the transmission locking mecha- nism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park.
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 provides incr eased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to pr event wheel lock-up.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated elec- tronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio trans- mitting equipment. 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 ar e 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 pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to pr ovide enhanced acceleration and stability .
Refer to “Electronic Stability Pr ogram (ESP)” in this section for additional system information and operating instructions. BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) — IF EQUIPPED W ARNING! The BAS (Brake Assi.
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 off (key in the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK or ACC position).
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.
• 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 9 P 9 is absent from this tir e 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 corr esponding 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.
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.
310 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.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e 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 tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited use spare tire af fects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same tire, replace (or r epair) the original tire and r einstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity .
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).
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 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.
SELF-SEALING TIRES — IF EQUIPPED A non-hardening viscous sealant applied to the inner liner of each tire fills punctur es up to 0.19 in. (5 mm) to minimize the loss of air pressur e. This contributes to the safety of the vehicle by significantly reducing the pr ob- ability of a roadside stop due to a flat tir e.
NOTE: In order to avoid damage to tir es, chains, and your vehicle do not drive for a prolonged period of time on dry pavement. Observe the tire chain manufactur er’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage.
Remember , more fr equent rotation is permissible if de- sired. Also, correct for anything causing rapid or unusual wear prior to performing the tire r otation.
pressur e will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal and there should be no adjustment for this increased pr essure. • The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e i.
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 af fect tire pr essure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System — If Equipped The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels.
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to r eceive this information. Check TPMS W arning If a system fault is detected, the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
NOTE: V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spare tire does not have a tir e pressur e monitoring sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tir e.
• 3 T rigger Modules (mounted in three of the four wheel-wells) • V arious T ir e Pressur e Monitoring System Messages, which display in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) • T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light The matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor .
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate the tires with low pr essure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pr essure value.
1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the TPM sensors. 2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials, which may block radio wave signals. 3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
Light will remain ON and a chime will sound. In addition, the graphic in the EVIC will still display a flashing pressur e value. 3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid.
The tire pr essure sensors ar e covered under one of the following licenses: United States ..................... KR5S120123 Canada ....................
Over 40 auto manufacturers worldwide have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifications (the W orld- wide Fuel Charter , WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, performance, and durability for your vehicle.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emission system performance in some vehicles.
• 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 requir e immediate service.
• 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 .
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). • A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light to turn on.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap may also turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic System” in Section 7 of this manual for more information. VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown on the “V ehicle Certification Label.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and r ear axles. Distribute the load over the front and r ear axles evenly . Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GA WR. W ARNING! Because the front wheels steer the vehicle, it is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR.
Loading T o load your vehicle properly , first figure out its empty weight, axle by axle and side by side. Store heavier items down low and be sure you distribute their weight as evenly as possible.
EXAMPLE ONL Y Front Axle Rear Axle Empty W eight 2054 lbs (932 kg) 1805 lbs (819 kg) Load (Including driver , pas- sengers and cargo) 271 lbs (123 kg) 579 lbs (263 kg) T otal 2325 lbs (1055 kg) 2384 l.

The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn of f 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 before attempting any pr ocedure 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 pr oper 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 pr oper 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 pr esent a problem to the environment.
Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire pr operly to assure engine perfor - mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the specified mileage. The entire set should be replaced if ther e 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 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.

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 br oken, 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) 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 fresh coolant.
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 pr otection in the engine cooling system.
Disposal of Used Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring pr oper 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 antifr eeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against fr eezing.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks ar e 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 r ubber , 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 area befor e removing 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 are not requir ed. For this reason, the dipstick is omitted.
