ST ARTING PROCEDURES CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Un- burned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
After Starting The idle speed will automatically 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 cord.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “ P ” or “ N ” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park) move the lever all the way forward until it stops, and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
temperature of the transmission r eaches the appropriate temperature. Refer to the “ Note ” under “ T orque Con- verter Clutch ” later in this section. If the transmission temperature gets too hot, the transmission may downshift out of Overdrive or en- gage overdrive at higher vehicle speeds until the transmission cools down.
gear . When the vehicle speed drops or during accelera- tion, the clutch automatically and smoothly disengages. NOTE: • The torque converter clutch will not engage until the transmission fluid and engine coolant is warm (usu- ally after 1 – 3 miles (1.
5 Speed Automatic T ransmission 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 shift the transmission into Park, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the park brake.
Park Position The P ARK position is to be used when parking the vehicle. Engage only with the vehicle stopped. The P ARK position is not intended to serve as a brake when the vehicle is parked. Rather , the driver should always use the parking brake in addition to placing the selector lever in P ARK to secure the vehicle.
Neutral No power is transmitted from the engine to the drive axle. When the brakes are r eleased, the vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed). Do not engage in NEUTRAL position while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.
NOTE: T o avoid overrevving the engine when the selector lever is moved in “ D- ” direction, the transmis- sion will not shift to a lower gear if the engine ’ s revolu- tions per minute limit would be exceeded. Briefly press the selector lever in the “ D+ ” direction.
A reset feature is available to allow the vehicle to be driven to a dealer for service. T o reset the transmission, use the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the selector lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn off the engine. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds.
Automatic T ransmission — General Information CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
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. W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.
Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift interlock system (BTSI) that holds the gearshift lever in the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
Y ou can shift in or out of the autostick mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you choose the Overdrive mode, the transmission will oper - ate automatically; shifting between the five available gears.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park. As an added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The ef fort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that r equired with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
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.
MUL TI DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) - 5.7L Engine Only This feature of fers improved fuel economy by shutting off four of the engine ’ s eight cylinders during light load and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills requir ed.

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 loa.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
230 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. Underinflation also increases tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap – if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “ cold tire inflation pr essure ” .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don ’ t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle ’ s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
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.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE — IF EQUIPPED This feature pr ovides full time All Wheel Drive (A WD) with Antilock Brake System (ABS)/T raction Control. The front wheels pr ovide 38% of the torque, and the rear wheels provide 62% of the tor que. The system is auto- matic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills requir ed.
tire pr essures is low . The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T ell- tale Light will flash on and off for 10 to 60 seconds when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is removed and reset.
NOTE: • The TPMS can inform the driver of a low tire pr essure condition. • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure.

Spark Knock Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However , continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is requir ed. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as har d starting, stalling and hesitations.
Problems that r esult from using methanol/gasoline blends are not the r esponsibility of the manufacturer . While MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Methanol. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber .
malfunctioning and may requir e immediate service. Contact your dealer for service assistance. • The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers are not r ecommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. Push in on the left side (near the edge) of the fuel filler door to access the fuel filler cap. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “ top off ” the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel nozzle “ clicks ” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “ clicking ” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown in the charts that follow . This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. If the seatbacks are folded for carrying car go, do not exceed the specified GVWR and GA WR.
Overloading The load carrying components (axle, springs, tires, wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and front and rear GA WR. The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for operation.
