A light bar in the climate control display shows the setting; high, medium, or low .
{ W ARNING: Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the safety belts cannot do their job when reclined like this. The shoulder belt cannot do its job because it will not be against your body .
Head Restraints Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupant's head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Rear Seats Heated Seats If the vehicle has this feature, the controls are located on the center console. Pressing this button will turn the heated seat on at the highest setting. Each press of the button will decrease the seat temperature or turn the seat off.
Safety Belts Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly . It also describes some things not to do with safety belts. { W ARNING: Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot be worn properly .
In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. Here is why: Y ou never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive.
Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 2-10.
The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 2-1 1.
or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces.
Q: If I am a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver, but if you are in a crash — even one that is not your fault — you and your passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers.
Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones and you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The lap belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your lap belt is too loose. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force on your abdomen.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong buckle. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not on the pelvic bones.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied on the abdomen, not on the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is behind the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer/retailer to fix it.
Lap-Shoulder Belt All seating positions in your vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly . 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up straight. T o see how , see “ Seats ” in the Index.
5. T o make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt. It may be necessary to pull stitching on the safety belt through the latch plate to fully tighten the lap belt on smaller occupants. 6. This safety belt has a feature that will reduce the tension of the safety belt on the occupant's shoulder if the vehicle is on.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster Y our vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the driver and right front passenger position. Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the belt is centered on your shoulder . The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder .
Here is how to install a comfort guide to the safety belt: 1. Pull the elastic cord out from between the edge of the seatback and the interior body to remove the guide from its storage clip. 2. Place the guide over the belt and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide.
3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top. { W ARNING: A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as described previously in this section. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder . T o remove and store the comfort guide, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guide.
Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer/ retailer will order you an extender . When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear , so the extender will be long enough for you.
The manufacturer's instructions that come with the booster seat state the weight and height limitations for that booster . Use a booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until the child passes the below fit test: . Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the knees bend at the seat edge? If yes, continue.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never allow two children to wear the same safety belt. The safety belt can not properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A safety belt must be used by only one person at a time.
Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never hold an infant or a child while riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an infant or a child will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it during a crash. For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly become a 1 10 kg (240 lb) force on a person's arms.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types.
{ W ARNING: A young child's hip bones are still so small that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure.
A forward-facing child seat (B) provides restraint for the child's body with the harness. A booster seat (C-D) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window .
Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the V ehicle { W ARNING: A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle.
Where to Put the Restraint According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position.
W ARNING: (Continued) always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. See Passenger Sensing System on page 2 ‑ 61 for additional information.
Lower Anchors Lower anchors (A) are metal bars built into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each LA TCH seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attachments (B). T op T ether Anchor A top tether (A, C) anchors the top of the child restraint to the vehicle.
Some child restraints that have a top tether are designed for use with or without the top tether being attached. Others require the top tether always to be attached. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top tether , and that the tether be attached.
The top tether anchors are located under covers on the rear seatback filler panel. Be sure to use an anchor located on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed.
{ W ARNING: Do not attach more than one child restraint to a single anchor . Attaching more than one child restraint to a single anchor could cause the anchor or attachment to come loose or even break during a crash. A child or others could be injured.
2. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the top tether be attached, attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor , if equipped. Refer to the child restraint instructions and the following steps: 2. 1. Find the top tether anchor .
If the position you are using has an adjustable headrest or head restraint and you are using a single tether , route the tether under the headrest or head restraint and in between the headrest or head restraint posts. 3. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.
If the child restraint does not have the LA TCH system, you will be using the safety belt to secure the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say .
4. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock. 5. T o tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor .
6. If the child restraint has a top tether , follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions regarding the use of the top tether . See Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH) on page 2 ‑ 39 for more information. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.
W ARNING: (Continued) Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat, always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary . 5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
6. T o tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor . When installing a forward-facing child restraint, it may be helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
Airbag System The vehicle has the following airbags: . A frontal airbag for the driver . . A frontal airbag for the right front passenger . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the right front passenger .
Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: { W ARNING: Y ou can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt — even if you have airbags. Airbags are designed to work with safety belts, but do not replace them.
{ W ARNING: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them.
Where Are the Airbags? The driver's frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger's frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side.
Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and right front passenger are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door .
{ W ARNING: If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death.
Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds. For example: . If the vehicle hits a stationary object, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits a moving object.
What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator . Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to break out of the cover and deploy . The inflator , the airbag, and related hardware are all part of the airbag module.
The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate the airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the right front passenger airbag. . Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After an airbag inflates, you will need some new parts for the airbag system.
The passenger sensing system will turn off the right front passenger frontal airbag under certain conditions. The driver airbag, seat ‐ mounted side impact airbags and the roof ‐ rail airbags are not part of the passenger sensing system. The passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the right front passenger seat.
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger frontal airbag if: . The right front passenger seat is unoccupied. . The system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat. . The system determines that a small child is present in a child restraint.
The passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate) the right front passenger's frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the right front passenger's seat.
{ W ARNING: If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced promptly , because an adult-size person sitting in the right front passenger's seat may not have the protection of the airbag(s).
Servicing Y our Airbag-Equipped V ehicle Airbags affect how the vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the airbag system in several places around the vehicle. Y our dealer/retailer and the service manual have information about servicing the vehicle and the airbag system.
In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the right front passenger's position, which includes sensors that are part of the passenger's seat.
Restraint System Check Checking the Restraint Systems Safety Belts Now and then, check that the safety belt reminder light, safety belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages are all working properly . Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job.
Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash { W ARNING: A crash can damage the restraint systems in your vehicle. A damaged restraint system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash.

Y our Driving, the Road, and the V ehicle Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 2 ‑ 8 .
Police records show that almost 40 percent of all motor vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases, these deaths are the result of someone who was drinking and driving. In recent years, more than 17,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been associated with the use of alcohol, with about 250,000 people injured.
Braking See Brake System Warning Light on page 4 ‑ 58 . Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time. Average reaction time is about three ‐ fourths of a second.
Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. When the engine is started and the vehicle begins to drive away , ABS checks itself.
Braking in Emergencies ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help more than even the very best braking. Brake Assist This vehicle has a Brake Assist feature designed to assist the driver in stopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions.
StabiliT rak comes on automatically whenever the vehicle is started. T o help assist with directional control of the vehicle, always leave the system on. StabiliT rak can be turned off, however , by using the T raction Control System (TCS)/StabiliT rak button.
T o assist with directional control of the vehicle, always leave the system on. Stability control can be turned off however , by using the TC button. See T raction Control System (TCS) on page 5 ‑ 9 . The ST ABILITY SYS OFF message will be displayed on the DIC.
Enhanced StabiliT rak and T raction Control Mode Selection Enhanced StabiliT rak can be operated in T ouring Mode. It can also be turned off. The TC button is used to change stability control modes (T ouring or Off) as well as to turn traction control on or off.
The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but this is normal. This warning light comes on if there is a problem with TCS. See T raction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 4 ‑ 60 . When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Magnetic Ride Control ™ V ehicles with this feature automatically adjust the ride of the vehicle based on driving conditions. Magnetic Ride Control monitors the suspension system to determine the proper system response. If the controller detects a problem within the system, the DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message.
During some operating conditions, the active steering might deactivate to protect the system from damage. Y ou might notice that the center position of the steering wheel is changed. Unless there is a SERVICE STEERING SYS message, the system will return to normal operation as soon as the condition ceases, usually within a very short period of time.
T ry to adjust the speed so you can drive through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. W ait to accelerate until out of the curve, and then accelerate gently into the straightaway . T o help you steer in the direction you want to go, during certain sharp or sudden cornering maneuvers, gear selection is controlled.
Off-Road Recovery The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy . Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way , steer so that the vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle's three control systems.
Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving because some drivers are likely to be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Night driving tips include: . Drive defensively . . Do not drink and drive.
{ W ARNING: Wet brakes can cause crashes. They might not work as well in a quick stop and could cause pulling to one side. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle. After driving through a large puddle of water or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply the brake pedal until the brakes work normally .
Before Leaving on a Long T rip T o prepare your vehicle for a long trip, consider having it serviced by your dealer/retailer before departing. Things to check on your own include: . Windshield Washer Fluid: Reservoir full? Windows clean — inside and outside? .
Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different than driving on flat or rolling terrain. Tips for driving in these conditions include: . Keep the vehicle serviced and in good shape. . Check all fluid levels and brakes, tires, cooling system, and transmission.
Winter Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Drive carefully when there is snow or ice between the tires and the road, creating less traction or grip. Wet ice can occur at about 0°C (32°F) when freezing rain begins to fall, resulting in even less traction.
Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Service on page 8 ‑ 8 . T o get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: . T urn on the Hazard Warning Flashers on page 4 ‑ 3 .
T o save fuel, run the engine for only short periods as needed to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and close the window most of the way to save heat. Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold.
Rocking Y our V ehicle to Get It Out T urn the steering wheel left and right to clear the area around the front wheels. T urn off any traction or stability system. Shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and a forward gear , spinning the wheels as little as possible.
Tire and Loading Information Label Example Label A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the vehicle's center pillar (B-pillar). With the driver's door open, you will find the label attached below the door lock post (striker).
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “ The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs ” on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
Example 1 Item Description T otal A V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 1 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) B Subtract Occupant Weight @ 150 lbs (68 kg) × 2 = 300 lbs (136 kg) C Available Occupant and Cargo Weig.
Example 3 Item Description T otal A V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 3 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) B Subtract Occupant Weight @ 200 lbs (91 kg) × 5 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) C Available Cargo Weight = 0 lbs .
rear axles, called the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GA WR). Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR for either the front or rear axle. { W ARNING: Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GA WR).
T owing T owing Y our V ehicle Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle needs to be towed. See Roadside Service on page 8 ‑ 8 . T o tow the vehicle behind another vehicle for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome), see Recreational V ehicle T owing following.
Dinghy T owing Notice: If the vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, the drivetrain components could be damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty . Do not tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. The vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four wheels on the ground.
3. Firmly set the parking brake. See Parking Brake on page 3 ‑ 33 . 4. Put the transmission in P (Park). 5. Secure the vehicle to the dolly following the manufacturer's instructions. 6. Use an adequate clamping device designed for towing to ensure that the front wheels are locked into the straight position.
T railering is different than just driving the vehicle by itself. T railering means changes in handling, acceleration, braking, durability and fuel economy . Successful, safe trailering takes correct equipment, and it has to be used properly . The following information has many time-tested, important trailering tips and safety rules.
Three important considerations have to do with weight: . The weight of the trailer . . The weight of the trailer tongue. . The total weight on the vehicle's tires. Weight of the T railer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It should never weigh more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg).
After loading the trailer , weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately , to see if the weights are proper . If they are not, adjustments might be made by moving some items around in the trailer . T otal Weight on the V ehicle's Tires Be sure the vehicle's tires are inflated to the upper limit for cold tires.
T railer Brakes Does the trailer have its own brakes? Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so they are installed, adjusted and maintained properly . Because the vehicle has StabiliTrak ® , do not try to tap into the vehicle's hydraulic brake system.
Backing Up Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, move that hand to the left. T o move the trailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you.
Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before starting down a long or steep downgrade. If the transmission is not shifted down, the brakes might have to be used so much that they would get hot and no longer work well.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply and hold the brake pedal while you: . Start the engine . Shift into a gear . Release the parking brake 2. Let up on the brake pedal. 3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks. 4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.

California Proposition 65 W arning Most motor vehicles, including this one, contain and/or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Engine exhaust, many parts and systems, many fluids, and some component wear by-products contain and/or emit these chemicals.
Keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and the date of any service work performed. See Maintenance Record on page 7 ‑ 13 . Adding Equipment to the Outside of the V ehicle Things added to the outside of the vehicle can affect the airflow around it.
Gasoline Octane If the vehicle has the 3.6L V6 engine (VIN Code V), use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 87 or higher . If the octane rating is less than 87, an audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock, might be heard when driving.
Additives T o provide cleaner air , all gasolines in the United States are now required to contain additives that help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming, allowing the emission control system to work properly . In most cases, nothing should have to be added to the fuel.
T o check the fuel availability , ask an auto club, or contact a major oil company that does business in the country where you will be driving. Filling the T ank { W ARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause bad injuries. T o help avoid injuries to you and others, read and follow all the instructions on the fuel pump island.
While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap from the hook on the fuel door . { W ARNING: Fuel can spray out on you if you open the fuel cap too quickly . If you spill fuel and then something ignites it, you could be badly burned. This spray can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather .
{ W ARNING: If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notifying the station attendant. Leave the area immediately . Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get the right type.
Checking Things Under the Hood { W ARNING: An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from any underhood electric fan. { W ARNING: Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.
2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and find the secondary hood release lever . The lever is located under the front edge of the grille near the center . Push the release lever up and raise the hood. Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly .

Engine Oil Checking Engine Oil It is a good idea to check the engine oil level at each fuel fill. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground. The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 ‑ 13 for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick, add at least one quart/liter of the recommended oil. This section explains what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity , see Capacities and Specifications on page 6 ‑ 130 .
What Kind of Engine Oil to Use Look for three things: . GM4718M This vehicle's engine requires a special oil meeting GM Standard GM4718M. Oils meeting this standard may be identified as synthetic. However , not all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard.
Engine Oil Additives / Engine Oil Flushes Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM standards are all that is needed for good performance and engine protection. Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty .
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter 4.6L V8 Engine shown, 3.6L V6 Engine similar The engine air cleaner/filter is in the engine compartment on the driver's side of the vehicle, near the front. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 ‑ 13 for more information on locating the air cleaner/filter .
How to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter T o inspect the air cleaner/filter remove the filter from the vehicle and lightly shake the filter to release loose dust and dirt. If the filter remains caked with dirt, a new filter is required. T o inspect or replace the filter in the 3.
{ W ARNING: Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter off can cause you or others to be burned. The air cleaner not only cleans the air; it helps to stop flames if the engine backfires. Use caution when working on the engine and do not drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
Cooling System The cooling system allows the engine to maintain the correct working temperature. 3.6L V6 Engine shown, 4.6L V8 Engine similar A. Electric Engine Cooling Fan(s) (Out of view) B. Mechanical Engine Cooling Fan (If equipped) (Out of view) C.
{ W ARNING: Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very hot. Do not touch them. If you do, you can be burned. Do not run the engine if there is a leak. If you run the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could cause an engine fire, and you could be burned.
What to Use { W ARNING: Adding only plain water to the cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water , or some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. The vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture.
Checking Coolant The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking the coolant level. The coolant surge tank and pressure cap are located on the driver's side of the vehicle, toward the rear of the engine compartment. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 ‑ 13 for more information on location.
How to Add Coolant to the Surge T ank { W ARNING: Y ou can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine. { W ARNING: Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow out and burn you badly .
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly , and remove it. 3. Fill the coolant surge tank with the proper DEX-COOL ® coolant mixture, to slightly above the FULL COLD/FROID line on the side of the coolant surge tank.
4. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. The upper radiator hose is the largest of the hoses which comes out of the radiator , on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Tires Y our new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufact urer . If you ever have questions about your tire warranty and where to obtain service, see your vehicle W arranty booklet for details. { W ARNING: . Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
Low ‐ Profile Performance Tires If your vehicle has 255/45ZR18 size tires, they are classified as low ‐ profile performance tires. These tires are designed for very responsive driving on wet or dry pavement. Y ou may also notice more road noise with low ‐ profile performance tires and that they tend to wear faster .
Tire Sidewall Labeling Useful information about a tire is molded into its sidewall. The examples below show a typical passenger vehicle tire and a compact spare tire sidewall.
(E) Tire Ply Material : The type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread. (F) Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) : T ire manufacturers are required to grade tires based on three performance factors: treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance.
(B) Tire Ply Material : The type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread. (C) Tire Identification Number (TIN) : The letters and numbers following the DOT (Department of Transportation) code is the T ire Identification Number (TIN).
(B) Tire Width : The three ‐ digit number indicates the tire section width in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall. (C) Aspect Ratio : A two ‐ digit number that indicates the tire height ‐ to ‐ width measurem ents.
Cold Tire Pressure : The amount of air pressure in a tire, measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has built up heat from driving.
Occupant Distribution : Designa ted seating positions. Outward Facing Sidewall : The side of an asymmetrical tire that has a particula r side that faces outward when mounted on a vehicle.
V ehicle Maximum Load on the Tire : Load on an individual tire due to curb weight, accessory weight, occupant weight, and cargo weight. V ehicle Placard : A label permanent ly attached to a vehicle showing the vehicle's capacity weight and the original equipment tire size and recommended inflation pressure.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. Do not forget to check the compact spare tire, if your vehicle has one. The compact spare should be at 60 psi (420 kPa). For additional information regarding the compact spare tire, see Compact Spare Tire on page 6 ‑ 107 .
High-Speed Operation { W ARNING: Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher , puts an additional strain on tires. Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat build up and can cause sudden tire failure. Y ou could have a crash and you or others could be killed.
Accordingly , when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under ‐ inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation This vehicle may have a T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when a low tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly , excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly , if the vehicle has one.
Factory-installed Tire Inflator Kits use a GM approved liquid tire sealant. Using non-approved tire sealants could damage the TPMS sensors. See Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit (Without Selector Switch.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors or rotate your vehicle's tires, the identification codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
10. After hearing the confirming single horn chirp for the driver side rear tire, a double horn chirp will sound to signal the tire matching mode is no longer active. Press the push ‐ button ignition switch to Acc. 1 1. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the tire and loading information label.
When rotating P235/50R17 size tires or 255/45ZR18 size tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here. If the vehicle has a compact spare tire, do not include the compact spare tire in the tire rotation. After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the T ire and Loading Information label.
When It Is Time for New T ires V arious factors, such as maintenance, temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions influence when you need new tires. One way to tell when it is time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.
Buying New Tires GM has developed and matched specific tires for your vehicle. The original equipment tires installed on your vehicle, when it was new , were designed to meet General Motors T ire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating.
{ W ARNING: Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while driving. If you mix tires of different sizes (other than those originally installed on your vehicle), brands, or types (radial and bias-belted tires), the vehicle may not handle properly , and you could have a crash.
Y our vehicle's original equipment tires are listed on the T ire and Loading Information label. See Loading the V ehicle on page 5 ‑ 23 , for more information about the Tire and Loading Information label and its location on your vehicle.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: T readwear 200 T raction AA T emperature A.
T emperature – A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, or T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors, replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way , you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, and TPMS sensors for your vehicle.
Tire Chains { W ARNING: If your vehicle has P255/45R17, P255/45ZR18, or 255/45ZR18 size tires, do not use tire chains, as there is not enough clearance. T ire chains used on a vehicle without the proper amount of clearance can cause damage to the brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may require the same correction you would use in a skid. In any rear blowout, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under control by steering the way you want the vehicle to go.
