THEFT ALARM

To Arm

• Equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF,” then press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.

• Not equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.

To Disarm

• Equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle).

• Not equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and turn the ignition to the ON position.

SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You 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.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.

• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

Page 15

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile 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. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.

Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System

• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear seating positions.

• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.

• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCH system in either or both outboard seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the same time. If a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position.

• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchorage.

• The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.

• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.

Page 16

GETTING STARTED

• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restrain.

• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.

WARNING!

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.

• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

FRONT SEATS

WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.

Page 17

GETTING STARTED

Power Seats

• The power seat switches are located on the outboard side of the front seat cushions.

• The seat switch controls, forward/ backward, up/down or to recline the seat. The passenger’s seat will move up or down, forward or rearward.

• The recline switch controls the angle of the seatback. Press the switch forward or rearward and the seatback will move in either direction.

CAUTION!

DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.

Lumbar Support

• Rotate the control lever forward to increase and rearward to decrease the desired amount of lumbar suppor t.

CAUTION!

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

Page 18

GETTING STARTED

Memory Seats

• The memory seat feature allows you to save two different driver seating positions, driver’s outside mirror, adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, power tilt and telescopic steering column and radio station preset settings. The memory seat buttons are located on the driver’s door panel.

• Adjust all memory profile settings, press the SET button then press 1 or 2 within five seconds.

• To program a Key Fob to the memory position, press and release the LOCK button within 10 seconds on the Key Fob to be programmed.

• Press 1 or 2 to recall the saved positions, or press UNLOCK on the programmed Key Fob.

• Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further details.

REAR SEAT

Folding Rear Seatback

• Pull on the loops to fold down either or both seatbacks. These loops can be tucked away when not in use.

• When the seatback is raised to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly pulling on the top of the seatback above the seat strap.

WARNING!

• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in an accident. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) LEVER

A New Level Of Convenience

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the convenience of cruise control while traveling on highways and major roadways.

• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.

• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration automatically so your vehicle maintains a preset following distance to the preceding vehicle.

WARNING!

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in an accident or serious personal injury. The ACC system:

• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).

• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.

• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.

• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

The ACC Warning

• The ACC Blinded message will display in the EVIC when conditions temporarily limit the system performance and the system will be deactivated. The most likely cause for a deactivated system is a dirty or obstructed sensor, occurring mostly during snow, fog, heavy rain, or by obstruction from dirt or ice. In these cases, the EVIC will display “ACC BLINDED.” Examine the sensor (behind the grille, slightly offset from the center of the grille) which may need simple cleaning, or removal of the obstruction.

System Maintenance

• Always keep the sensor clean for optimum system performance.

• See your authorized dealer for services if the sensor is damaged.

• Do not attach or install any accessories near the sensor, including transparent material or aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or malfunction.

• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for complete details.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

24 HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE - U.S. ONLY

• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.

• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number.

• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.

• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.

• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will contact local police or safety authorities.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light

• If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. To improve the vehicle’s traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESP system off.

- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your instrument cluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four road tires are significantly under-inflated.

• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening. The TPMS light should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.

• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will turn off after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off.

• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you should not adjust for this increased pressure.

• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

Page 49

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealership for service if your vehicle overheats.

immediately.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.

• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Brake

Assist System (BAS) Warning Light

• If the ESP/BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected.

• If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Charging System Light

• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.

Page 50

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light

• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns on.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.

• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.

Page 52

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

JACKING, TIRE CHANGING AND TIREFIT TIRE REPAIR

WARNING!

• Do not attempt to change or seal a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack, changing the wheel or using the TIREFIT kit.

• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You 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.

• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

WARNING!

• The compact spare tire is for emergency use only. Installation of this compact spare tire affects vehicle handling.

• Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact spare tire.

• Keep the compact spare tire inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure, listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly.

• Replace (or repair) the original tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.

• A loose tire, jack or TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts, spare tire and TIREFIT kit in the places provided.

• The jack and spare tire or TIREFIT kit are stowed under an access cover in the trunk.

• Lift the access cover using the pull strap and remove the fastener securing the spare tire.

• After removing the spare tire, remove the fastener securing the jack.

Preparations For Jacking Or TIREFIT Tire Repair

• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

• Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK.

• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

• Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position. For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.

NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions

WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.

• Remove the spare tire, jack and lug wrench.

• If equipped with steel wheels, do not remove the wheel cover at this time. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the lug nuts, use the lug wrench to pry the center cap off carefully before raising the vehicle.

• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.

• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension, then to the lug wrench.

Page 55

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.

• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.

WARNING!

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.

• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if equipped) and wheel.

• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.

• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.

Page 56

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.

WARNING!

To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.

• Secure the tire, jack (base of jack faces rear of vehicle), and tools in their proper locations.

TIREFIT Instructions

TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to1⁄4in.(6 mm) in the tire tread allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 100 mi (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (88 km/hr). TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F (-20°C).

NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.

The TIREFIT kit is located in the trunk.

• Verify that the valve stem is close to the ground.

• Put on the gloves from the TIREFIT Kit Accessory Storage Compartment.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through the hose (typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Clear Sealant Hose, the pressure gauge can read as high as 70 psi. The pressure gauge will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi to the actual tire pressure when the sealant bottle is empty.

• The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the sealant bottle is empty. Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s side door opening. Check the tire pressure by looking at the pressure gauge.

NOTE: If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.

• If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, press the Power button

• Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle and place the sticker on the steering wheel.

• Immediately disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose from the valve stem, reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the vehicle storage location. Quickly proceed to the next step.

• The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use and should be handled carefully.

• Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can also result in sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may cause permanent damage to the kit.

JUMP-STARTING

• If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.

• Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur.

WARNING!

When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above freezing point before attempting a jump-start.

Preparations for Jump-Start

• The battery is stored under an access cover in the trunk. Remote battery posts are located on the right side of the engine compartment for jump-starting.

NOTE: The remote battery posts are viewed by standing on the right side of the vehicle looking over the fender.

Page 60

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.

• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.

• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.

• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.

• If using a another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.

WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.

Jump-Starting Procedure

WARNING!

Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

• Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

• Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery.

• Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative

(-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.

Page 61

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!

Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury.

• Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:

• Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.

• Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.

• Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

• Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then, move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and 1st gear. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.

NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Traction Control

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.

• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

, turn the system off before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.

WARNING!

CAUTION!

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)

• In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to record up to five seconds of specific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recorder prior to the moment of airbag deployment, or near deployment (if applicable), and up to a quarter second of either high-speed deceleration data or change in velocity during and/or after airbag deployment or near-deployment. EDR data is ONLY recorded if an airbag deploys, or nearly deploys, and is otherwise unavailable.

NOTE:

• A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag deployment.

• Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recorded (e.g., loss of battery power).

• In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by Chrysler Group LLC and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and improve vehicle performance. In addition to crash investigations initiated by Chrysler Group LLC, such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance carriers, government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those associated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.

• In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (regardless of initiative), the company or its designated representative will first obtain permission of the appropriate custodial entity for the vehicle (usually the vehicle owner or lessee) before accessing the electronic data stored, unless ordered to image the data by a court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy of the data will be provided to the custodial entity upon request. General data that does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the U.S. government and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver, vehicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially. Confidential data will not be disclosed by Chrysler Group LLC to any third party except when:

• Used for research purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is thereafter preserved.

• Used in defense of litigation involving a Chrysler Group LLC product.

• Requested by police under a legal warrant.

• Otherwise required by law.

TIRE PRESSURES

• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.

• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.

NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of tires.

WARNING!

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. Never overload them.

WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE

• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.

• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.

CAUTION!

Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel’s protective finish. Only MOPAR recommended.

Using Lift Kits

• Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause instability or loss of control. When changing tire sizes, always consult an installer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances.

Check Your Tires For Damage

• Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for signs of damage, uneven tread wear and their general condition is important for safety. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal and expert inspection.

Tire Service Life

• The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to, your driving style, tire pressure and distance driven.

WARNING!

Tires 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. You could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

• Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to the light as possible.

• Protect tires from contact with oil, grease, and gasoline.

NOTE: All tire warranties are made by the tire manufacturer. Tires are not covered under your Chrysler New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
