A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Fob with Integrated Key and a W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the double-sided integrated key into the igni- tion switch with either side up.
Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) The Fob with Integrated Key operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans- mitter and a valet key , which stores in the rear of the Fob. The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead.
Ignition Key Removal Place the selector lever in “P” (Park). T urn the key to the LOCK position, and remove the key . NOTE: • If you try to remove the key befor e you place the selector lever in “P” (Park), it may become trapped temporarily in the ignition switch.
CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove key from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to r emove the key .

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.
the door lock plunger located on the inside of the doors or with the driver’s door key lock cylinder , will not set the alarm. T o Disarm the System T o disarm the system, use the remote keyless entry transmitter . If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.
NOTE: Inserting the Fob with Integrated Key into the ignition switch disables all buttons on that transmitter; however , the buttons on the remaining transmitters will continue to work. Shifting the vehicle out of “P” (Park) disables all transmitter buttons for all Fobs.

open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buf feting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunr oof opening to minimize the buffeting. LIFTGA TE T o open the liftgate, pull up (squeeze) on the handle and lift.
W ARNING! Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your pas- sengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle. Liftgate Flipper Glass The liftgate flipper glass is also unlocked when the liftgate is unlocked.
Once the liftgate flipper glass has been opened, connec- tion to the rear window wiper is interr upted, preventing activation of the rear wiper blade while the flipper glass is open. NOTE: If a power malfunction to the power liftgate latch should occur , an emergency liftgate latch r elease can be used to open the liftgate.
NOTE: The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle have combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the 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 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 r ed button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow it to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
W ARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt assembly “automatic locking retrac- tor” feature or any other seat belt function is not working properly when checked according to the procedures in the Service Manual.
seconds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger side airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
This vehicle is equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and r ear passengers sitting next to a win- dow . They are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS/AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment.
NOTE: Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the proper performance of the window bags. The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. See “Child Restraint” in this section. Y ou should read the instructions pr ovided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it pr operly . 2. All occupants should use their lap and shoulder belts properly .
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Control Module • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Side Curtain Airbags ab.
Also, the ORC turns on the “Airbag W arning Light” for 6 to 8 seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on. After the self-check, the “Airbag W arning Light” will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the “Airbag W arning Light” either momentarily or continuously .
• The Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbags are de- signed to activate only in certain side or rollover collisions. When the ORC (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the side curtain airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle.
They are not permanent and normally heal quickly . However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately .
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 if the airbag system is not there to protect you.

• Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status • T ire pressur e monitoring system status Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up 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.
Here ar e some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufactur er also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it.

kits or retr o-fit kits. Y ou are urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle. NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints ar e stowed and out of reach of childr en.
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. In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat.
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.
however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary . For seat belts having an automatic locking retractor , pull the belt from the r etractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child r estraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
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.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not r equired for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed ar ea, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for a extended period.
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield.

W ARNING! ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
BAS (Brake Assist System) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional contr ol and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor - rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter - acting the over/under steer condition.

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.
Normal Starting The gear selector must be in the “N” (Neutral) or “P” (Park) position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear . NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal.
If Engine Fails to 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. AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P (Park) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
5. Move the shift lever into the N (Neutral) position. 6. The vehicle may then be started in N (Neutral). Have your vehicle inspected by your local authorized dealer , if the shift lock manual override has been used.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should apply the park brake, shift the transmission into P (Park), and remove the key from the ignition.
NOTE: The Electronic Stability Pr ogram (ESP) and T raction Control (if equipped) should be turned OFF before attempting to r ock the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control System” in Section 3 of this manual.
Autostick Operation By placing the shift lever in the D (Drive) position the lever can be moved from side to side. This allows the driver to engage the AutoStick mode. Moving the shift lever to the right (+) or the left (-) will engage the Autostick mode.
When in the Autostick mode, as the engine RPM nears the engine maximum speed, an “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of your instrument cluster .
P ARKING BRAKE T o set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the “Brake W arning Light” in the instru- ment cluster will light. T o release the parking brake, pull up slightly , press the center button, then lower the lever completely .
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave the transmis- sion in P (Park). Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
W ARNING! Significant over or under inflation of tires can lead to loss of braking effectiveness. The Anti-Lock Brake System conducts a low-speed self- test at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If you have your foot lightly on the brake while this test is occurring you may feel slight pedal movement.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
W ARNING! T o use your brakes and accelerator more safely , follow these tips: • Do not “ride” the brakes by resting your foot on the pedal. This could overheat the brakes and r esult in unpredictable braking action, longer stopping dis- tances, or brake damage.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.

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. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Run Flat Tires This vehicle is equipped with run flat tir es.
1. Safety— W ARNING! Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. • Under inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire failure. • Over inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Tire Inflation Pressures 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 . The pressur e should be checked and adjusted as well as inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage at least once a month.
Check tire pr essures mor e often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tir e pressur es vary with temperature changes. T ire pressur es change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pr essure inside a garage especially in the winter .
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial tires in sets of four . Never combine them with other types of tires.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tir es to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves and will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! All tires 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 . Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible.
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 result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS Do not rotate the tir es as the wider rear tir es will not fit on the front of the vehicle.

manufacturer . While MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Metha- nol. 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 .
• 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 sys- tem could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after- market cap can cause the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the Malfunction Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
W ARNING! • Never add fuel when the engine is running. • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the tank filled. TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle.
Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings in- clude a 150 lbs (68 kg) allowance for the presence of a driver).
W eight-Carrying Hitch A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kind of hitches are the most popular on the market today and they’re commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.

Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your trailer hitch. Consider the following items when computing the weight on the front/r ear axles of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
CAUTION! • A void towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage your vehicle. • During the first 500 miles (805 km) of trailer towing, limit your speed to 50 mph (80 km/h). Perform the maintenance listed in Section 8 of this manual.
• Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer . Always connect the chains to the hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cr oss the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners. • V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.
− When replacing tir es, refer to “T ires–General Informa- tion” for proper tir e replacement pr ocedures. Replac- ing tires with a higher load carrying capacity will not increase the vehicle’s GVWR and GA WR limits.
W ARNING! Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hy- draulic brake lines. It can overload your brake sys- tem and cause it to fail. Y ou might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. T owing any trailer will increase your stopping dis- tance.
T owing T ips — Electronic Speed Control (If Equipped) − Don’t use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads. − When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops gr eater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until you can get back to cruising speed.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged. A “CHECK GASCAP” message will be displayed in the EVIC (Refer to Section 4 of this manual).
For states which have an I/M (Inspection and Maintenance) requir ement, this check verifies the following: the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system is r eady for testing.
b. The MIL will not flash at all and will r emain fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station. If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility .
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
NOTE: Fill engine oil one quart at a time. CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. CAUTION! Operating the engine with the oil levels below the safe zone, or operating with oil levels that exceed the top of the safe zone may cause engine damage.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather , above 90°F (32°C). • T railer towing. NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first.
Engine Oil V iscosity SAE 0W -40 engine oil is preferred for use within the operating temperatures shown in the engine oil viscosity chart. SAE 5W -40 engine oil is also allowed.
Synthetic Engine Oils Y ou may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom- mended oil quality requir ements are met, and the r ecom- mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
At the mileage indicated on the appropriate “Mainte- nance Schedule,” all belts and tensioner should be checked for condition. Improper belt tension can cause belt slippage and failure.
Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause stalling, limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven or cause hard starting. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, filter replacement may be necessary . See your local dealer for service.
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.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked (+) positive and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
