3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the opposite rear door . NOTE: After disengaging the Child Protection Door Lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position. WINDOWS Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door contr ol all the door windows.
W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power window switches. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
AUTO-Up Feature with Anti–Pinch Protection — If Equipped 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 ARNING! There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the window before closing. W indow Lockout Switch The window lockout switch on the driver’s door trim panel allows you to disable the window controls on the passenger doors.

The trunk lid can be r eleased from outside the vehicle by pressing the TRUNK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter twice within five seconds. W ith the ignition switch in the ON position, the T runk Open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open.
T runk Emergency Release The trunk of your vehicle is equipped with an emer gency release handle. It is located on the inside of the tr unk lid, near the latch, and is coated so that it glows in a darkened trunk.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
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 seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the front seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together .
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Push and fully depr ess the button above the webbing to release the anchorage, then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate. 4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing.
BeltAlert 威 will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
NOTE: Although BeltAlert 威 has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate as long as the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled. Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if so equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
This vehicle may also be equipped with supplemental side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window and/or supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags. If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain airbags, they are located above the side windows.
If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat- mounted side airbags, they are marked with an SRS label sewn into the outboard side of the seat.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain airbags, do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the side curtain airbag. The area where the side cur- tain airbag is located should remain free from any obstructions.
W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
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.
• Seat Belt Reminder Light • Knee Impact Bolsters • Front Acceleration Sensors • Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pr etensioners How the Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to requir e the airbags to inflate.
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. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side cur- tain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window . The airbag inflates in about 30 ms (about one-quart.
• Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by Chrysler LLC/Mopar 威 . • At no time should any supplemental restraint sys- tem (SRS) component or SRS-related component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those which are appr oved by Chrysler LLC/ Mopar 威 .
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • 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.
• Unlocks the doors automatically . NOTE: The interior lights can only be deactivated if the key is removed fr om the ignition switch or the vehicle is driven. Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs.
investigations may be requested by customers, insurance carriers, government officials, and pr ofessional crash resear chers, such as those associated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.
• ⬙ T ime ⬙ of airbag deployment (in terms of ignition cycles and vehicle mileage) • Airbag deployment level (if applicable) • Impact acceleration and angle • Seat belt status • Brake st.
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
“LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren)” in this section. W ARNING! Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with the front passenger airbag unless the airbag is turned off.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
Here are some tips on 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. W e also recommend that you make sur e that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr ofit kits. Y ou are ur ged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.
Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that are pr ovided with the child restraint system. The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seatback and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
NOTE: • Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap. • When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints ar e stowed and out of reach of childr en.
Seat belts with an automatic locking retractor have a distinctive label on the seat belt webbing. The seat belt must be in the Automatic Locking mode in order to enable a child restraint to be tightly installed. Refer to “Automatic Locking Mode” in this section.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA. 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 seri- ously injured or killed.
If you are r equired to drive with the tr unk/liftgate open, make sure that all windows ar e closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recir culation mode. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
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.
If Engine Fails T o Start W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury . (Continued) W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor will disengage automatically in 10 seconds. Once this occurs, release the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the normal starting pr ocedure.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION 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.
• Shift lever position • Accelerator position • V ehicle speed The gear shifting process is continuously adapted, de- pendent on the driving style, the driving situation, and the road characteristics.
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 always shift the transmission into P ARK, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
located to the right of the shift lever . The override access port is at the top of the bin to the right of the shift lever gate. T o activate the override, first insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position. Then, press the pink-color ed tab through the access port with a small flat blade screwdriver or alike.
Gear Ranges P ARK P ARK supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the shift lever in the P ARK position: • When shifting into P ARK move the shift lever all the way forward and left until it stops and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P position.
shifts and the best fuel economy . Select the “3” range when frequent transmission shifting occurs when using the Overdrive range, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions (in hilly terrain, travel- ing into strong head winds, or while towing heavy trailers).
CAUTION! Never race the engine with the brakes on and the vehicle in gear , and never hold the vehicle on an incline without applying the brakes. These practices can cause overheating and damage to the transmis- sion. T orque Converter Clutch A featur e designed to improve fuel economy has been added to the automatic transmission in this vehicle.
T ransmission Limp Home Mode The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the transmission automatically shifts into second gear . The transmission remains in second gear despite the forwar d gear selected.
5-Speed Automatic T ransmission Shifting from DRIVE to P ARK or REVERSE should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when moving the shift lever between these gears.
W ARNING! Never use P ARK position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmission damage. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn of f the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions.
T emporary T ransmission Limp Home Mode The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode. If vehicle acceleration worsens, or the transmission no longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating in the Limp Home Mode.
AUTOSTICK 姞 — IF EQUIPPED Autostick 威 is a driver-interactive transmission that of fers manual gear shifting to provide you with mor e control of the vehicle. Autostick 威 allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
vehicle automatically shifts into A WD mode. Automatic A WD operation could be activated by outside tempera- ture, wheel slip, or other pr edetermined conditions (there may be a slight delay for A WD engagement after a wheel slip condition occurs).
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet mud, loose sand, etc.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or cross a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow- ing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
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.
apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated. Coordinate inspection ef forts through an autho- rized dealer . No chemical flushes should be used in any power steering system; only the approved lubricant may be used.
P ARK. As an added pr ecaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away fr om the curb on an uphill grade. The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o apply the parking brake, push the parking brake pedal down and then remove your foot fr om the pedal.
W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Do not leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Y ou also may experience the following when the brake system goes into Anti-Lock: • The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the stop), • The clicking sound of solenoid valves, • Brake pedal pulsations, and • A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys- ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
W ARNING! The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those re- sulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those re- sulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
flashes when the TCS is active. If the ESP/TCS Indicator Light begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.
ESP on again, momentarily depr ess the ESP OFF switch and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will turn off. NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by momentarily depr essing the ESP OFF switch.
ESP is synchr onized (refer to Synchr onizing ESP), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corr ected. NOTE: • The ESP/TCS Indicator Light and the ESP/BAS Mal- function Indicator Light will turn on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

This table is for illustration purposes only and may not be accurate for the seating and load carry capacity of your vehicle.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 309 5.
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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
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 ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
loading may be requir ed for high-speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tr ead life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity . W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
W ARNING! The limited-use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited-use spare tire and wheel assembly .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tir es to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Use only compact chains or other traction aids that meet SAE type “Class S” specifications. Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle, as r ecommended by the chain manufacturer . In addition, only install tire chains on P215/65 R17 and P225/60 R18 size tires.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on the method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the lower suggested operating speed of the chain manufac- turer if different from the speed recommended by the manufacture.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle r ecom- mended cold placard pr essure. The tire pr essure will vary with temperatur e by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placard pr essure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tir e pressur e is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature dr op to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tir e pressur e to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance or 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. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failur e.
The matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a TPM sensor . The matching full size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tir es. The TPMS will only monitor the pressur e in the full size spare when it is used in place of a road tir e.
3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. 4. Using tire chains on the vehicle. 5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. NOTE: V ehicles with Full Size Spare 1. The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly has a TPM sensor that can be monitored by the TPMS.
5. Once you repair or replace the original r oad tire, and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spar e, the TPMS will update automatically and the TPM T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pressur e is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The TPM T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pr essure is low in one or mor e of the four active road tir es.
turn off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. Check TPMS W arning If a system fault is detected, the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the TPM T elltale Light will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressur e value will display in place of the dashes.
NOTE: V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spare tire does not have a TPM sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tir e.
General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and 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 r eceived, including interference that may cause undesir ed operation.
The use of premium gasoline is not r ecommended, as it will not provide any benefit over r egular gasoline in these engines. 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.
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasolines containing Methanol or E85 Ethanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability problems and may damage critical fuel system components. Problems that r esult from using methanol/gasoline or E85 ethanol blends are not the r esponsibility of the manufacturer .
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emissions system performance in some vehicles.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting fr om the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the manufactur er .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If so equipped, use the finger pull to open the door . Otherwise, push in on the left side (near the edge) of the fuel filler door to access the fuel filler cap.
NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler cap door reinfor cement. CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emissions control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown on the “V ehicle Certification Label.” This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. Do not exceed the specified Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR).
W ARNING! Because the front wheels steer the vehicle, it is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
NOTE: • Refer to the “V ehicle Certification Label” affixed to the rear of the driver’s door for your vehicle’s GVWR and GA WRs. • Refer to the “T ire Placard” for your vehicle’s pr oper tire pr essure.
Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The GCWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings include a 150 lbs [68 kg] allowance for the presence of a driver .) Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and r ear axles.
of hitches are the most popular on the market today and they are commonly used to tow small- and medium- sized trailers. W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing system works by applying lever- age through spring (load) bars.
The following chart provides the industry standar d for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/T ransmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Max. T ongue Wt. ( 〫 see note) 2.
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.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. • The weight of the driver and all passengers.
W ARNING! (Continued) Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and it 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. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
T owing Requirements — T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes, and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area located away fr om heavy traffic. T owing T ips — Automatic T ransmission The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. How- ever , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the “3” range should be selected.
− Extended driving at high RPM should be avoided to prevent excess heat generation. A reduction in vehicle speed may be requir ed to avoid extended driving at high RPM. Return to a higher gear range or vehicle speed when road conditions and RPM level allows.
