A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with the key code number on it. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your dealer to give you the number . The key code can also be obtained by the dealer from your vehicle invoice.
Automatic T ransmission — If Equipped Place the shift lever in P (Park). T urn the ignition switch to the ACC position, push the key and cylinder inward, rotate the key to the LOCK position, and r emove the key . W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition, sounds a signal to remind you to r emove the key . STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED Y our vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering wheel lock (manual transmission only).
the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two (2) seconds if someone uses an invalid key to start the engine. NOTE: A key that has not been programmed is consid- ered an invalid key even if it is cut to fit the ignition lock cylinder for that vehicle.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key System serviced, bring all vehicle keys to the dealer . Customer Key Programming Y ou can program new keys to the system if you have two valid keys by doing the following: 1. Cut the additional Sentry Key T ransponder blank(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.
General Information The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interfer ence that may cause undes- ired operation.
T o Disarm the System T o disarm the system, use the remote keyless entry transmitter . Also, using a valid sentry key and moving the ignition switch to the ON/ST AR T position will disarm the system. If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.
The lights also will fade to off if you turn on the ignition after you close all the doors. REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y NOTE: For the remote starting featur e (if equipped), refer to the “Remote Starting System” section. NOTE: Y our vehicle’s keyfob may have three, or four buttons, depending on the optional features pur chased with your vehicle.
On electronic vehicle information center (EVIC) equipped vehicles refer to “Remote Unlock Driver’s Door 1st” under “Personal Settings” in the EVIC section (Sec- tion 4) of this manual. On non EVIC – equipped vehicles perform the following steps: 1.
1. Perform this operation while standing outside the vehicle. 2. Pr ess and hold the “Lock” button on a programmed (i.e. functional) key fob. 3. Continue to hold the “Lock” button, wait at least 4 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds, then press and hold the P ANIC button.
horn. In case one should go off in the futur e, you will need to know which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it. T o activate the Panic mode while the ignition is OFF , press and r elease the P ANIC button on the transmitter once.
1. If the key fob is equipped with a scr ew , remove the screw . W ith the transmitter buttons facing down, use a flat blade to pry the two halves of the transmitter apart. Make sure not to damage the seal during r emoval. 2. Remove and r eplace the batteries.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by the party r esponsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If your Keyless Entry T ransmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions.
Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run for 15 minutes. T o cancel remote start, pr ess the “Remote Start” button once. T o enter the vehicle while the engine is running during a remote start, you must first unlock the vehicle using the “Unlock” button on the key fob.
three single chimes will occur (One chime for each complete display cycle (three cycles total). After this, the display will continue to cycle only (no chimes). If the trip/reset button is pr essed while the VF warnings are being displayed, the VF display will r evert back to only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage.
W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors when you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle. • When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle.
locks will not operate. This prevents you fr om acciden- tally locking your keys in the vehicle. Removing the key or closing the door will allow the locks to operate. A chime will sound if the key is in the ignition switch and a door is open, as a reminder to r emove the key .
W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged. NOTE: For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the lock plunger up (unlocked position), roll down window and open the door with the outside door handle.
Power Off to Accessories Until Exit” in Section 4 of this manual. Opening a vehicle front door will cancel this feature. W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle, with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the win- dows while operating the power window switches.
Auto Up Feature with Anti-Pinch Protection (Driver’s and Front Passenger Door Only) Lift the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go up automatically . T o stop the window from going all the way up during the auto-up operation, push down on the switch briefly .
W indow Lockout Switch The window lockout switch on the driver’s door (below the power window switches) allows you to disable the window control on the other doors. T o disable the window controls on the other doors, pr ess the window lockout button.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
T o open the liftgate, pull up (squeeze) on the handle and lift. Manually unlocking the vehicle doors with the plunger or a key in the lock cylinder will not unlock the liftgate. W ARNING! Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
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 acr oss 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 re- tractor” 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 seat belt is buckled. The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will be reactivated if the driver seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision.
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.
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 . Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instr ument panel knee bol- sters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger .
children who do not use child r estraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow childr en to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.

either momentarily or continuously . A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial start up. W ARNING! Ignoring the “Airbag W arning Light” in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
objects are placed on the seat, the passenger airbag will not inflate even though the “P AD Indicator Light” is not illuminated. The “P AD Indicator Light” should not be illuminated when a adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passenger seat.

because this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the rear seat check to be sur e it doesn’t touch the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat is damaged in any way , it should only be serviced by an authorized dealer .
The driver front airbag gas is vented thr ough the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way , the airbags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle.
The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the fr ont passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning fr ont passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the fr ont passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.
• As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water .
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.

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. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
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.
• 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 from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it.
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.
having attachments for those anchorages will continue to also have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat belts. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time.
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.
Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt The passenger seat belts are equipped with either cinch- ing latch plates or automatic locking retractors, which ar e designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
Route the tether strap over the seat back and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. For the outboard seating positions, r oute the tether over the head rests, and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
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.
garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for a extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with engine r unning for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fr esh, outside air into the vehicle.
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should feel the air directed against the windshield. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns.

W ARNING! Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury , medication, alcohol use, exhaus- tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater . It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
Also, be sure that the fr ont seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allow the r ear seat to fold down easily . W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
4. If desir ed, push down on the seatback to lock it in the folded position. T o Raise Rear Seat If locked in the folded position, pull the release strap (toward the fr ont of the vehicle).
Then push the safety latch lever to the left. It is located between the grille and hood opening right of the center . T o prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Use a firm downward push at the center fr ont edge of the hood to ensure that both latches engage.
LIGHTS Interior Lights The overhead light comes on when a door is opened. It may also be turned on by rotating the contr ol for the dimmer switch on the multi-function control lever fully upward. The overhead light will automatically turn of f in about 20 minutes if a door is left open or the dimmer control is left in the dome light position.

T o Set At A Desired Speed When the vehicle has reached the desir ed speed, press down on the lever and release. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. NOTE: The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and on level ground befor e pressing the SET lever .
T apping the “SET DECEL” button once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped, speed decreases. NOTE: The Speed Control system has been designed to shut down if multiple speed control switch functions ar e operated simultaneously in order to ensur e proper op- eration.
On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed contr ol. ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic bra.
TCS (T raction Control System) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. 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 .
W ARNING! BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur . ERM can not prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.
ESP/TCS Indicator Light 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.
ESP On This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 2WD, 4WD Part T ime, 4WD Full T ime, and on 2WD vehicles. When- ever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most all driving situations. ESP should only be turned of f for specific reasons as noted below .
situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing the “ESP OFF” switch. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. ESP/BAS W arning Lamp The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS.
The HomeLink 威 Universal T ransceiver replaces up to three r emote controls (hand held transmitters) that oper - ate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, or home lighting.
Programming The Universal T ransceiver For best results, install a new battery in the hand held transmitter before pr ogramming. If your garage door opener (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure that the antenna is hanging straight down.
1. T urn off the engine. 2. Erase the factory test codes by pr essing the two outside buttons. Release the buttons when the light in the Universal T ransceiver begins to flash (about 20 seconds). NOTE: Do not repeat Step 2 to pr ogram additional hand held transmitters.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
T ip Start Feature — Automatic T ransmission Only Do not press the accelerator . T urn the ignition key briefly to ST AR T position, and release it. The starter motor will continue to run, but will automatically disengage itself when the engine is running.
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 . W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel- erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly .
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! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving.
Follow the shift pattern on the gearshift knob. NOTE: The backup lights will come on when your vehicle is in R (Reverse) gear and the ignition is in the ON position. W ARNING! When parking your vehicle, always leave a manual transmission in first gear and apply the parking brake fully to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
• Do not operate at sustained high engine or road speeds in lower gears. Engine damage may result. • Do not downshift into a low gear while traveling at too high a speed for that gear . Engine, clutch, or transmis- sion damage may result. • Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal.
Recommended Manual T ransmission Downshifting Speeds T o prevent clutch and transmission damage, your vehicle should be downshifted at speeds no greater than those listed in the chart below: Manual T .
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. • Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
Shift Lock Manual Override — If Equipped Y our vehicle may be equipped with a shift lock manual override. The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail to move from Park with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal depressed.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock System This system prevents you fr om moving the gear shift out of P (Park) and into any gear unless the brake pedal is pressed. Always depress the brake pedal first, before moving the gear selector out of P (Park). 4–Speed Automatic T ransmission (3.
P (Park) This gear position 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. Always apply parking brake first, then place the selector in P (Park) position.
R (Reverse) Use this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. N (Neutral) Shift into N (Neutral) when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine r unning. The engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle.
• the transmission selector is in D (Drive); • the engine coolant has reached normal operating tem- perature; • vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (48 km/h); • the “TOW/HAUL” button has not been activated; • transmission has reached normal operating tempera- ture.
operating in “TOW/HAUL” mode, the transmission will shift to 3rd gear and 4th will be enabled under steady cruise conditions. The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated.
T o reset the transmission, use the following pr ocedure: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position. 3. T urn off the engine, be sur e to turn the key to the LOCK position. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds, then r estart the en- gine.
Gear Ranges NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold. If there is a need to r estart the engine be sure to cycle the key to the LOCK position before r estarting.
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.
of the desired top gear . For example, if the driver shifts the transmission into 3 (third gear), the transmission will never shift above third gear , but can shift down to 2 (second) or 1 (first), when needed. W ARNING! Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface.
risen to a suitable level. Refer also to the Note under torque converter clutch, later in this section. During cold temperature operation, you may notice delayed upshifts depending on engine and transmission temperature. This featur e improves the warm up time of the engine and transmission.
A clutch within the torque converter engages automati- cally at a calibrated speed at light throttle. It engages at higher speeds under heavier acceleration. This may re- sult in a slightly differ ent feeling or response during normal operation in high gear .
This electronically shifted transfer case pr ovides 2 mode positions: 2 (rear) wheel drive high range (2WD) and 4 wheel drive high range (4WD LOCK). The electronically shifted transfer case is designed to be driven in the 2 wheel drive position (2WD) for normal street and highway conditions (dry har d surfaced roads).
Proper operation of 4 wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel. Any differ ence in tire size can cause damage to the transfer case. Since 4 wheel drive provides impr oved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
NOTE: Delayed shifting out of 4WD LOCK may be experienced due to uneven tire wear , low tire pr essure, or excessive loading. MP 140 Single-Speed Full-T ime T ransfer Case — If Equipped Operating Information/Precautions The MP 140 is a single speed (HI range only) transfer case which provides convenient full-time all-wheel drive.
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 .
Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked, and the gear shift lever is in the P (Park) position (automatic transmission) or R (Reverse) or 1st gear (manual trans- mission).
When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
W ARNING! Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
CAUTION! The Anti-Lock Brake System is subject to possible detrimental effects of electronic interference caused by improperly installed after-market radios or tele- phones. NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard.
build up between the tire tr ead and the road. This hydroplaning action can cause loss of traction, braking ability , and control. • After going through deep water or a car wash, brakes may become wet, resulting in decr eased performance and unpredictable braking action.
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 . TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.
• 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 ⬙ P ⬙ 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: 31 = Overall Diameter in Inches (in) 215 = Section W idth in Millimeters (mm) 65 = Aspect Ratio in Percent (%) —Ratio of section height to section width of tire. 10.5 = Section W idth in Inches (in) R = Construction Code — ⬙ R ⬙ means Radial Construction.
EXAMPLE: —The maximum speed corresponding to the Speed Symbol should only be achieved un- der specified operating conditions. (i.e. tire pr essure, vehicle loading, r oad conditions, and posted speed limits).
EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 0301 DOT = Department of T ransportation —This symbol certifies that the tire is in compliance with the U.S. Department of T ransportation tire safety standards, and is appr oved for highway use. MA = Code repr esenting the tire manufacturing location.

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.
Tire 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.
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, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed.
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.
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 CHAINS Use “Class S” chains or other traction aids that meet SAE T ype “S” specifications.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tir es. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted with P235/65R17 tires. CAUTION! Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with tires other than P235/65R17 tires.
NOTE: The Premium T ire Pr essure Monitor System will automatically locate the pressur e values displayed in the correct vehicle position following a tir e rotation. The suggested rotation method is the “forwar d-cross” shown in the following diagram.
The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e if the tire pr essure falls below the low pressur e warning threshold for any r eason, including low tem- perature ef fects.
CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equip- ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open. • Keep the liftgate closed when driving your vehicle to prevent carbon monoxide and other poisonous ex- haust gases from entering the vehicle.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system 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 Indica- tor 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.
Each axle GA WR is determined by the components in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension components sometimes specified by purchasers for in- creased durability does not necessarily incr ease the vehi- cle’s GVWR.
or rear axles has been exceeded but the total load is within the specified GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from fr ont to rear or r ear to front as appropriate until the specified weight limitations are met. Stor e the heavier items down low and be sure that the weight is distributed equally .
Common T owing Definitions The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following information: Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, cargo and tongue weight.
Gross Axle W eight 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! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR.
W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing system works by applying lever- age through spring (load) bars. They ar e typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s).

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control.

HAZARD W ARNING FLASHERS Y our vehicle’s hazard warning flasher is an emer gency warning system. When you activate it, all front and r ear directional signals will flash intermittently . Use it when your vehicle is disabled on or near the road. It warns other drivers to steer clear of you and your vehicle.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEA TS In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appr opriate ac- tion. • On the highways — Slow down. • In city traffic — While stopped, put transmission in N (Neutral), but do not increase engine idle speed.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
Spare Tire Stowage The spare tir e is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by means of a cable winch mechanism. T o remove or stow the spare, use the jack handle to r otate the “spare tir e drive” nut. The nut is located under a plastic cover at the center-r ear of the cargo floor ar ea, just inside the liftgate opening.
Spare Tire Removal Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the Lug W rench to r otate the nut counter clockwise until the spare is on the gr ound with enough slack in the cable to allow to pull the tire out fr om under the vehicle. CAUTION! The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only .
• T urn on the Hazard W arning Flasher . • Block both the front and r ear of the wheel diagonally oppo- site of the jacking position. For example, if changing the right front tir e, block the left rear wheel. • Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
4. Locate the jack as shown. For the fr ont tires, place it in the notch on the body weld seam behind wheel to be changed. For the rear tir es, place it under the axle by the wheel to be changed. Position the jack handle on the jack. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel. 7. Position the spar e wheel/tire on the vehicle and install lug nuts with cone-shaped end toward wheel.
JUMP ST ARTING W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth- ing. Don’t lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other . If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the con- taminated area immediately with large quantities of water .
4. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery . Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery . W ARNING! Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
