The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , and some mobile or CB radios.
W ARNING! • Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death. • For personal security and safety in the event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
Power Door Locks — If Equipped A power door lock switch is incorporated into the driver door handle. Push or pull the handle to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate. If the driver ’s door handle is pushed a red lock indicator will show on the driver ’s door handle (indicating locked) when the door is closed, the door will lock.
T o change the setting proceed as follows: 1. Briefly push the MENU button to enter the MENU screen. 2. Push the UP or DOWN button to highlight “Auto Door Locks”.
Auto-Down The driver’s door window switch has an Auto-Down feature. Push the window switch for approximately one second, release, and the window will go down automati- cally . T o cancel the Auto-Down movement, operate the switch in either the up or down direction and release the switch.
LIFTGA TE T o unlock the liftgate, use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or activate the power door lock switches located on the driver door handle. T o open the liftgate, squeeze the liftgate release handle and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag: 1. Childr en 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
W ARNING! • Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger , including a child in a rear- facing child restraint. • Only use rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt Reminder Light remains illuminated until the respective seat belts are buckled. The driver should instruct all other occu- pants to buckle their seat belts.
W ARNING! • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have air bags.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of injury in a collision. The seat belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as possible and keep it snug.
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 .
3. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt.
5. Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is comfort- able and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt. 6. T o release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle.
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 and the seat belt is no longer twisted.
Seat Belts And Pregnant W omen W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the seat belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) — If Equipped The seat belts in the passenger seating positions may be equipped with a switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) which is used to secure a child restraint system.
Driver Center Passenger First Row N/A N/A ALR Second Row ALR N/A ALR • N/A — Not Applicable • ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is.
How T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire seat belt is extracted. 3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As the seat belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Air Bag System Components Y our vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Air Bag W arning L.
W ARNING! • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury , including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Advanced Front Air Bag Features The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage driver and front passenger air bags. This system provides output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information from the front impact sensors or other system components.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, air bags won’t deploy at all. Al- ways wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as the air bags inflate to their full size. The Advanced Front Air Bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to blink your eyes. The air bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger .
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of occupant injury during certain side impacts, in addition to the injury reduction potential pr ovided by the seat belts and body structur e. When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on the out- board side of the seatback’s trim cover .
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs): Located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG. SABICs may help reduce the risk of head injury to front and rear seat outboard occupants in certain side impacts.
W ARNING! • Y our vehicle is equipped with left and right Supple- mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the deployment of the SABICs. The trim covering above the side windows where the SABIC and its deployment path are located should remain free from any obstructions.
compartment. The Side Air Bags may deploy during angled or offset frontal collisions where the Advanced Front Air Bags deploy . Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. Side Air Bags deploy in less time than it takes to blink your eyes.
If A Deployment Occurs The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all collisions.
W ARNING! Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer imme- diately . Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
System Reset Procedure Depending on the nature of the event the left and right turn signal lights, located in the instrument panel cluster , may both be blinking and will continue to blink until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road, you must follow the system reset procedur e.
Customer Action Customer W ill See 7. T urn Left T urn Signal Switch OFF . (T urn Signal Switch Must be placed in Neutral State). Left T urn Light is OFF . Right T urn Light is OFF . 8. T urn ignition OFF . System is now reset and the engine may be started.
W arning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a mal- function in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag W arning Light, either momentarily or continuously . A single chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
Maintaining Y our Air Bag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) This vehicle is equipped with an event data recor der (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to recor d, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems per - formed.
Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times, including babies and children. Every state in the United States, and every Canadian province, r equires that small childr en ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be pros- ecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE: • For additional information, refer to www .seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEA TCHECK (732–8243). Canadian residents should refer to T ransport Canada’s website for additional information: • www .tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers- childsafety-index-53.
Child Size, Height, W eight Or Age Recommended T ype Of Child Restraint Small Children Children who are at least two years old or who have out-grown the height or weight limit of their rear -facing ch.
Infants And Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that children ride rear -facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear-facing child restraint. T wo types of child restraints can be used rear -facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
.
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear seat.
Recommendations For Attaching Child Restraints Restraint T ype Combined W eight of the Child + Child Restraint Use any attachment method shown with an “X” Below LA TCH – Lower Anchors Only Seat Belt Only LA TCH – Lower Anchors + T op T ether Anchor Seat Belt + T op T ether Anchor Rear-Facing Child Restraint Up to 65 lbs (29.
Lower Anchors And T ethers For Children (LA TCH) Restraint System Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren. The LA TCH system has three vehicle anchor points for installing LA TCH- equipped child seats.
LA TCH Positions For Installing Child Restraints In This V ehicle • Lower Anchorage Symbol 2 anchorages per seating position • T op T ether Anchorage Symbol 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR .
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LA TCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.
Can the rear -facing child restraint touch the back of the front passenger seat? Y es The child seat may touch the back of the front passenger seat if the child restraint manufacturer also allows contact. See your child restraint owner ’s manual for more information.
Locating The Upper T ether Anchorages There are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each side.
T o Install A LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint If the selected seating position has a Switchable Auto- matic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt, stow the seat belt, following the instructions below . See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt” to check what type of seat belt each seating position has.
How T o Stow An Unused ALR Seat Belt: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not being used by other occupants or being used to secure child restraints. An unused belt could injure a child if they play with it and accidentally lock the seat belt retractor .
Installing Child Restraints Using The V ehicle Seat Belt The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child r estraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the T ether Anchor with the seat belt to attach a forward facing child restraint? W eight limit of the Child Restr.
Installing A Child Restraint W ith A Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) 1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit.
9. T est that the child r estraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the seat belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the seat belt occasionally , and pull it tight if necessary .
.
W ARNING! • An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
CAUTION! Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result. NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as a problem.
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the seat belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.
W ARNING! Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious per - sonal injury . • Always make sure that floor mats are properly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.

SEA TS Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the vehicle. W ARNING! • It is 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.
While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the seat forward or rearwar d. Release the bar once the desired position is reached. Then, using body pressure, move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
W ARNING! Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could result in serious injury or death.
Lift the seatback upright and push the seat rearward to its locked position once the rear passengers are seated. Memory Feature Both front seats have a memory feature, which can operate in two ways: M.
Memory Function Option 2 — Seat Back Only Memory: After using the EZ entry function, the seat back may first be returned upright prior to going back to the last fore/aft (memory) position on the tracks. This results in the seat back memory being set only – The track will then be locked forward of its last set fore/aft memory posi- tion.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface tempera- ture of the seat.
T o raise the head restraint, pull upwar d on the head restraint. T o lower the head restraint, press the push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint. The Reactive Head Restraints will automatically return to their normal position following a rear impact.
Rear Head Restraints T o raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head re- straint. T o lower the head restraint, press the push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push down- ward on the head restraint.
2. Rotate the safety catch under the front edge of the hood, near the center , and raise the hood. 3. Lift the hood prop rod that clips to the right side (left side when standing in front of the hood) of the engine compartment. Place the hood prop rod in the hole of hood hinge to secure the hood in the open position.
CAUTION! T o prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Lower the hood until it is open approxi- mately 6 in (15 cm), and then drop it. This should secure both latches. Never drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed, with both latches engaged.
NOTE: When the headlights are turned on, the Daytime Running Lights will be deactivated. High Beams W ith the low beams activated, push the multi- function lever towards the instrument panel to turn on the high beams. Pull the multifunction lever toward the steering wheel to turn off the high beams.
Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped T o activate the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the O symbol. NOTE: The low beams and side/taillights will not be on with DRL. If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was purchased the DRL function can be turned on or off using the display menus.
Lane Change Assist T ap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off. Follow Me Home/Headlight Delay When this feature is selected the driver can choose to have the headlights remain on for a preset period of time.
CAUTION! Before getting out of the vehicle be sure that the switch is in the center position or that the lights are off to avoid draining the battery . Interior Light T iming (Center Position) There are four differ ent modes of operation that can be activated in this position: • When one door is opened a three minute timer is activated.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped The fog light switch is located on the center stack of the instrument panel, just below the radio. Press the switch once to turn the front fog lights on. Press the switch a second time to turn the front fog lights off.
Front Windshield Wiper Operation There are five dif ferent modes of operation for the front windshield wipers. The windshield wiper lever can be raised or lowered to access these modes: W indshield Wiper Off This is the normal position of the wiper lever .
Manual High Speed/Mist Push the lever upward from the off position. The wipers will operate at high speed to clear off road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. This operation will continue until the lever is released. When the lever is released, the wipers will return to the off position and automatically shut off.
Rear Windshield Wiper Rotate the end of the windshield wiper/washer lever upward to the first detent past the intermittent settings for intermittent wipe operation. W ith the front wind- shield wiper active, rotate the end of the windshield wiper/washer lever upward.
Rear W indshield W asher Operation Push the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the instrument panel to activate the rear washer . Push and hold the lever for more than a half second and the wipers will activate automatically for three cycles after the lever is released.
W ARNING! Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column while driving or driv- ing with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: In order to ensure proper operation, the Elec- tronic Speed Control system has been designed to shut down if multiple Speed Control functions are operated at the same time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed Control system can be reactivated by pushing the Electronic Speed Control ON/OFF button and resetting the desired vehicle set speed.
T o Deactivate A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button, or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will deactivate Electr onic Speed Control without erasing the set speed memory . Pr essing the ON/OFF button or turning the ignition switch OFF erases the set speed in memory .
• If the button is continually pressed, the set speed will continue to increase until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established. T o Decrease Speed When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can de- crease speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed. NOTE: The Electronic Speed Contr ol system maintains speed up and down hills.
If several obstacles are detected, the Rear Park Assist system indicates the nearest obstacle. The minimum height of a detectable obstacle corresponds to the maximum height of an obstacle that would clear the underside of the car during the parking maneuver .
Rear Park Assist Audible Alerts If an obstacle is behind the vehicle when the transmission is placed into REVERSE, an audible alert is activated. The tones emitted by the loudspeaker inform the driver that the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. The pauses between the tones are directly proportional to the dis- tance from the obstacle.
SIGNAL MEANING INDICA TION Failure Sensor or System failures V isual Signal (instrument panel) • Icon appears on display . • Message is displayed on the Electronic V ehicle Infor- mation Center (EVIC) (where provided). While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not muted.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi- cated immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the r ear fascia/ bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing a failur e indication to be displayed in the instrument cluster .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Before using the Rear Park Assist System, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the ve- hicle when the vehicle is not used for towing.
W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location acces- sible to children. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch.
Pinch Protect Feature This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express Close operation. If an ob- struction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will automatically retract. Remove the obstruc- tion if this occurs.
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS There is a standard 12 V olt (13 Amp) power outlet, located in the floor console, for added convenience. This power outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and other low power devices. Power is available when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or ST AR T position.
CAUTION! • Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 W atts (13 Amps) at 12 V olts. If the 160 W atts (13 Amps) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be replaced. • Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only .
W ARNING! T o avoid serious injury or death: • Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet should be inserted into any 12 V olt outlet. • Do not touch with wet hands. • Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle. • If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. • Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Normal Starting NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pr essing the accelerator pedal. T urn the ignition switch to the A VV/ACC (ST ART) position and release it when the engine starts.
2. Cycle the ignition in the ST ART position and release it when the engine starts. 3. If the engine fails to start within ten seconds, cycle the ignition to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position, wait five seconds to allow the starter to cool, then repeat the Extended Park Starting procedur e.
CAUTION! (Continued) • T o prevent damage to the starter , do not continu- ously crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed is contr olled automatically and it will decrease as the engine warms up.
Fully press the clutch pedal before you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal. NOTE: T o shift into REVERSE from NEUTRAL, lift the ring under the knob and, at the same time move the gearshift lever to the right and then backward.
NOTE: • Clashing REVERSE gear , especially if vehicle is mov- ing, can result in transmission damage. • During cold weather , until the transmission lubricant is warm, you may experience slightly higher shift efforts. This is normal and not harmful to the trans- mission.
Downshifting Proper downshifting will improve fuel economy and prolong engine life. CAUTION! If you skip a gear while downshifting or downshift at too high of a vehicle speed, these conditions may cause the engine to overspeed if too low of a gear is selected and the clutch pedal is released.
W ARNING! • It is dangerous to shift out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing 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.
Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requires the transmission to be in P ARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the LOCK/ OFF (key removal) position.
Only shift from DRIVE to P ARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these gears. The transmission shift lever has P ARK, REVERSE, NEU- TRAL, DRIVE, and AutoStick shift positions.
Gear Ranges DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range. 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to shift out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing 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.
CAUTION! • Before moving the shift lever out of P ARK, you must turn the ignition switch from the LOCK/OFF position to the ON/RUN position, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever could result. • DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions.
If the transmission temperature exceeds normal operating limits, the transmission controller will expand the range of torque converter clutch engagement. This is done to pre- vent transmission damage due to overheating. During cold temperatures, transmission operation may be modified depending on engine coolant temperature.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom- mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our authorized dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur . If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is requir ed.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle is accelerated. • Y ou can start out (from a stop) in first, second, or third gear .
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a dif ference in the surface traction under the front (driving) wheels.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will requir e extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle. • Determine the condition of the road or the path that is under water and if there are any obstacles in the way before driving through the standing water .
POWER STEERING The electric power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light efforts while parking and good feel while driving.
NOTE: • Even if the power steering assistance is no longer operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds and during parking maneuvers.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the fr ont wheels toward 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! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
CAUTION! If the Brake W arning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a brake system malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately .
Automatic T ransmission — If Equipped The Sport mode increases steering feedback to the driver with slight increase in ef fort and changes the transmis- sion shift schedules for more aggressive shifting. This driving mode is useful while driving on twisty r oads where more steering precision is desired in spirited cornering.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capability , the remaining system will still func- tion.
The ABS includes an amber ABS W arning Light. When the light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning. The system reverts to standard non-anti-lock brakes. T urning the ignition Of f and On again may reset the ABS if the fault detected was only momentary .
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
T raction Control System (TCS) 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 provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: • V ehicle must be stopped. • V ehicle must be on a 2.5% (manual transmission) or 7% grade or greater (automatic transmission) hill. • Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions.
NOTE: The ESC Off switch is located left of the steering column (Manual T ransmission Only). W ARNING! The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions.
ESC Operating Modes The ESC system has two available operating modes. Full On This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in On mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC should only be turned to Partial Off for specific reasons as noted below .
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And ESC OFF Indicator Light The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position for four seconds.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) — Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standar ds. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • Eur opean — Metric tire sizing is based on Eur opean design standards.
• T emporary spare tir es are designed for temporary emergency use only . T emporary high pressure com- pact spare tires have the letter “T” or “S” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.

272 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
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 vehicle 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.
Tire Inflation Pressures The proper cold tire inflation pressur e is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar or rear edge of the driver’s side door . At least once a month: • Check and adjust tire pressur e with a good quality pocket-type pressur e gauge.
T ire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pressure build up or your tire pressur e will be too low . Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds and within posted speed limits.
T ire Repair If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repair ed if it meets the following criteria: • The tire has not been driven on when flat. • The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall damage is not repairable). • The puncture is no greater tha na ¼ o fa n inch (6 mm).
driving conditions. Install winter tires on your vehicle when ambient temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered with ice or snow . For more informa- tion, contact an authorized dealer . Summer tires do not contain the all season designation or mountain/snowflake symbol on the tir e sidewall.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states pr o- hibit studded tires; therefor e, local laws should be checked before using these tire types.
Spare T ire Matching Original Equipped T ire And Wheel — If Equipped Y our vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel equivalent in look and function to the original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire may be used in the tir e rotation for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and loss of vehicle control. Full Size Spare — If Equipped The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only .
W ARNING! Limited-use spares are for emergency use only . In- stallation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do not drive more than the speed listed on the limit-use spare wheel.
T read Wear Indicators T r ead wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes a 1/16 of an inch (2 mm).
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher , and summer tires typically have a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires per the vehicle main- tenance schedule is highly recommended. W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
It is recommended to replace the two fr ont tires or two rear tires as a pair . Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES) Use of traction devices requir e sufficient tire-to-body clearance.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Install device as tightly as possible and then re- tighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km). • Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h). • Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
The suggested r otation method is the “rearwar d cross” shown in the following diagram. This rotation pattern does not apply to some directional tires that must not be reversed.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning limit for any reason, including low temperature effects, or natural pressur e loss through the tire.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system op- eration or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Driving on a significantly under -inflated tire causes the tir e to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel ef ficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability .
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will illumi- nate in the instrument cluster , an audible chime will be activated, and the “Check left or right front/r ear tir e xxx.x psi” text message will display when one or more of the four active road tire pressur es are low .
NOTE: Y our vehicle may be equipped with a compact spare wheel and tire assembly . 1. The compact spare tir e does not have a tire pressur e monitoring sensor .
Enhanced System — If Equipped When the vehicle is equipped with an enhanced TPM system, the driver can view text messages showing the actual tire pressur e value by position by selecting the tire pressur e menu command in the instrument cluster . Refer to the instrument panel features section of the owners manual.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires with low pressure to the vehicle’s recom- mended cold placard pressure value. Once the system receives the updated tire pressur es, the system will auto- matically update and the “T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light” will turn off.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will no.

pressur e value instead of dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressur e is below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
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 required. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as har d starting, stalling and hesitations.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% Ethanol, Methyl T ert-Butyl Ether (MTBE), and Ethyl T ret-Butyl Ether (ETBE). Oxygenates are required in some areas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.
T o fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fueled once with E-85 perform the following: • Drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer). • Change the engine oil and oil filter . • Disconnect and reconnect the battery to r eset the engine controller memory .
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities (Continued) CAUTION! (Continued) into the fuel system.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. NOTE: • When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
