Lap/Shoulder Belts

• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.

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

• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a collision.

• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.

Page 11

GETTING STARTED

Seat Belt Pretensioner

• The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.

• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

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.

• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You 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.

• A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

•

A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

Air Bag System Components

Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:

• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)

• Air Bag Warning Light

• Steering Wheel and Column

• Instrument Panel

• Knee Impact Bolsters

• Advanced Front Air Bags

• Supplemental Side Air Bags

• Front and Side Impact Sensors

• Seat Belt Pretenioners

• Seat Belt Buckle Switch

• Seat Track Position Sensors

Page 12

GETTING STARTED

Advanced Front Air Bags

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.

• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial deceleration.

• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.

• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.

• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.

• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.

• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.

• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

NOTE:

If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air bag system immediately.

After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.

•

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

Page 13

GETTING STARTED

• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your authorized dealer.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for further details.

Supplemental Side Air Bags

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.

This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)

• located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG”. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side impact events.

• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.

WARNING!

• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.

• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.

• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have Side Air Bags.

• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental 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.

• This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for the SABICs to work as intended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.

• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Children 12 years or younger 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.

NOTE:

•

For additional information, refer to

•

Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

Installing Child Restraints In Commercial Vehicles

This commercial vehicle is not designed for use as a family vehicle and is not intended for carrying children in the front passenger seat(s). Never install rearwardfacing child restraints in this vehicle. Although the seat belt can be locked to secure a child restraint, there are no tether anchorages to complete the proper installation of a forward-facing child restraint. If you must carry a child in a forward-facing child restraint, the passenger seat should be moved to the full rearward position and the child must be in a proper restraint system based on its age, size and weight. Follow the instructions below to secure the child restraint using the seat belt.

www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.

WARNING!

Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be secured in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a passenger Air Bag. In a collision, a passenger Air Bag may deploy causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rearward-facing infant restraints.

Page 15

GETTING STARTED

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

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 restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

To install a child seat using an ALR:

1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.

2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”

3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.

4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.

5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.

6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

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 severely injured or killed. 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 air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.

Page 16

GETTING STARTED

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

WARNING!

The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

Front Head Restraints

To raise the head restraint pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjustment button located on the base of the head restraint and push downward on the head restraint.

To remove the head restraint, raise it up as far as it can go then push the adjustment button and the release button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint up. To reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes then adjust it to the appropriate height.

WARNING!

• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow removed head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.

• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.

NOTE:

Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the incorrect position in an attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of the head.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle.

Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.

While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.

The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”

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 an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

DIESEL ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The diesel engine does not require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal operation is allowed, providing the following recommendations are followed:

• Warm up the engine before placing it under load.

• Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged periods.

• Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent engine lugging.

• Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indicators.

• Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.

• Vary throttle position at highway speeds when carrying or towing significant weight.

NOTE:

Light duty operation such as light trailer towing or no load operation will extend the time before the engine is at full efficiency. Reduced fuel economy and power may be seen at this time.

The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE USED.

DIESEL ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURES

Normal Starting Procedure

The shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL (N) position, and the brake pedal must be pressed, to allow engine cranking. Place the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) and apply the brake pedal BEFORE turning the key to the START/AVV position; otherwise, the engine will not crank and the key must be cycled OFF, then back on, before cranking is allowed.

NOTE:

• Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal.

• Observe the instrument panel cluster lights when starting the engine.

To start the engine follow the procedure below:

1. Press and hold the brake pedal.

2. Place the shift lever into the NEUTRAL (N) position while keeping the brake pedal

depressed.

Page 67

DIESEL

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN/MAR position and watch the instrument panel cluster lights.

CAUTION!

If the “Generic Warning Light” remains on and a “Service Fuel Filter” message displays, DO NOT START engine before you drain the water from the fuel filter housing to avoid engine damage. Please see your authorized dealer for draining the fuel filter/water separator and fuel filter replacement.

4. After the Glow Plug light turns off, turn the ignition switch to the START/AVV position to start the engine. Do not press the accelerator during starting.

5. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine prior to the engine starting, release the ignition key so that it turns back to the ON/RUN position.

6. Check that the oil pressure warning light has turned off.

7. Release the parking brake.

To start the engine if the transmission is faulty, run the “Delayed startup” procedure (see also "Instrument Cluster Messages" under "Automated Manual Transmission"):

1. Begin with the key in the OFF position.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.

3. Turn the key to the START/AVV position and hold it there for at least seven seconds with the brake depressed. The engine will start, and the transmission will operate in recovery mode (maximum gear permitted = 3rd, automatic mode not available). If the engine does not start, contact your authorized dealer.

Extreme Cold Weather

This vehicle has three heating elements; one engine block heater (a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of the engine) and two transmission heaters (one resistance heater installed under the oil reservoir of the hydraulic actuation system and one on the differential cover of the transmission). They require a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord. Their use is recommended for environments that routinely fall below -10°F (-23°C). They should be used when the vehicle has not been running overnight or longer periods and should be plugged in two hours prior to start. Their use is required for cold starts with temperatures under -20°F (-29°C).

Page 68

DIESEL

A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in thermostat. This diesel pre-heat system improves engine starting and reduces the amount of white smoke generated by a warming engine.

NOTE:

• The engine is designed to work at an ambient temperature ranging from -22°F to + 122°F (-30°C to + 50C°). Rubber, pipes, timing belt cover and electronic devices are not designed to work out of this range.

• The engine and transmission block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized MOPAR dealer.

In the case of LOW temperature after Starting, the Automated Manual Transmission may not be able to engage first gear. In this case a message "Shift not allowed" appears. In this situation use the engine block heater.

Water In Fuel Mes sage

If a Generic Warning Light appears in the cluster and a “Service Fuel Filter” message appears in EVIC, the fuel/water separator will need to be drained immediately to prevent engine damage. Please see your authorized dealer for draining the fuel filter/water separator and fuel filter replacement.

AUTOMATED MANUAL T RANSMISSION — DIESEL ONLY

The automated manual transmission is a conventional six-speed manual transmission with an electronically-controlled hydraulic system that controls the clutch and gear shifting. In forward gears, this transmission offers two modes of operation: MANUAL (M) mode (where the driver controls the transmission shifting), and Automatic mode (the DRIVE [D] position), where the electronic system controls the gear shifts. In either mode, there is no clutch pedal; the electronic system always controls the clutch operation.

NOTE:

•

Engine torque will be interrupted briefly during the transmission upshifts, making

these shifts more abrupt than with a typical automatic transmission. This is normal.

• Although transmission shifting is performed automatically, the vehicle will not "creep" when the brake pedal is released, and may in fact roll backwards on an incline. At a stop, the accelerator pedal must be pressed to transmit driving torque to the wheels.

• In Automatic Mode the Automated Manual Transmission adapts the gear changing strategy evaluating the road condition such as slopes and bends in the in the road.

Page 69

DIESEL

• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is normal and is similar to other vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.

• At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the transmission changes gears. These noises are normal and will not damage the transmission.

• Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor. A warning message will display in the EVIC if cool down actions are needed.

• Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short period of time. This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.

• During extremely cold temperatures, the transmission will not operate if the oil temperature is -22°F (-30°C) or below. Allow the engine to idle briefly to warm the fluid. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperature has risen to a suitable level.

WARNING!

You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without fully applying the parking brake. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.

Shifting The Transmission

The transmission shift lever has REVERSE (R), NEUTRAL (N), DRIVE (D) and MANUAL (M) positions. In the MANUAL (M) position, the lever can be toggled rearward or forward (+/-) to upshift or downshift the transmission to the next gear. The actual transmission gear range (R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) is displayed in the EVIC whenever the engine is running.

When the key is turned OFF, the transmission remains in its previous gear position, regardless of the shift lever position. With key on/engine off, the display may indicate the shift lever position rather than the actual transmission gear position.

Although the shift lever can be moved freely the transmission will not actually shift unless the brake pedal is pressed, therefore the shift lever and display may not correspond to the actual transmission gear range. To shift the transmission to a particular gear range (with key on/engine off), press and hold the brake pedal, move the shift lever to NEUTRAL (N), then move the shift lever to the desired position.

Page 70

DIESEL

To drive, start the engine, then move the shift lever from NEUTRAL (N) to the DRIVE (D) position for automatic mode, the MANUAL (M) position for manual mode or the REVERSE (R) position.

NOTE:

Only shift into DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R) 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.

EXHAUST REGENERATION

This engine meets all required EPA diesel engine emissions standards. To achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Additionally, your vehicle has the ability to alert you to additional maintenance required on your vehicle or engine. Refer to the following messages that may be displayed on your Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now

This message Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reached 80% of its maximum storage capacity.

By simply driving your vehicle at highway speeds for up to 20 minutes, you can remedy the condition in the particulate filter system and allow your diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment system to cleanse the filter to remove the trapped PM and restore the system to normal operating condition.

Exhaust System — Regeneration In Process Exhaust Filter Full

This message indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Maintain your current driving condition until regeneration is completed.

Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed

This message indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) self-cleaning is completed. If this message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition.

Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now

This message indicates regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction. The Powertrain control Module (PCM) will register a fault code and the instrument panel will display the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).

CAUTION!

See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon with continued operation.

Page 74

DIESEL

Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer

The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. Have your vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.

NOTE:

Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by 0 miles remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust filter from performing it's cleaning routine. This will shortly result in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and reduced engine power. Only an authorized dealer will be able to correct this condition.

CAUTION!

See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur with the exhaust filter full.

DIESEL

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active component, UREA – is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system in order to meet the very stringent diesel emissions standards required by the Environmental Protection Agency. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the first and only technology in decades to be as good for the environment as it is good for business and vehicle performance.

The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen emitted from engines) that are harmful to our health and the environment to an almost near-zero level. Small quantities of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) are injected into the exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized, convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O), two natural components of the air we breathe. You can operate with the comfort that your vehicle is contributing to a cleaner, healthier world environment for this and generations to come.

System Overview

This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission requirements.

The DEF injection system consists of the following components:

• DEF tank

• DEF pump

• DEF injector

• Electronically-heated DEF lines

• NOx sensors

• Temperature sensors

• SCR catalyst

The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the achievement of diesel emissions requirements; while maintaining outstanding fuel economy, drivability, torque and power ratings.

NOTE:

• Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injection system. You may occasionally hear an audible clicking noise. This is normal operation.

• The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF system. This is normal operation.

Page 77

DIESEL

Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid

The DEF low level message (located in the EVIC) will display when the DEF level is low. Completely fill the DEF tank through the diesel exhaust fluid fill location (located behind the fuel door) at every maintenance interval or before if prompted by the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

NOTE:

• Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF that is used in your vehicle.

• Since DEF will begin to freeze at 12°F (-11°C), your vehicle is equipped with an automatic DEF heating system. This allows the DEF injection system to operate properly at temperatures below 12°F (-11°C). If your vehicle is not in operation for an extended period of time with temperatures below 12°F (-11°C), the DEF in the tank may freeze. If the tank is overfilled and freezes, it could be damaged. Therefore, do not overfill the DEF tank. Extra care should be taken when filling with portable containers to avoid overfilling. Note the level of the DEF gauge in your instrument cluster. On pickup applications, you may safely add a maximum of 2 gallons of DEF from portable containers when your DEF gauge is reading ½ full.

DEF Fill Procedure

• Remove cap from DEF tank (located behind the fuel door on drivers side of the vehicle).

• Insert DEF container or fill nozzle into DEF fill location and fill DEF tank.

• Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.

Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Page 78

DIESEL

CAUTION!

• To avoid DEF spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.

• When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or a mild solvent.

• DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12 degrees F (-11 degrees C). The DEF system is designed to work in temperatures below the DEF freezing point, however, if the tank is overfilled and freezes, the system could be damaged.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Messages

• First low level warning will be given at around 500 miles, which is determined by current consumption rate. DEF Low level lamp icon and display message for refill will be displayed at dashboard. DEF Low level Lamp will stay on until a DEF refill is detected (minimum 1 gallon).

• To correct this condition it will be necessary to fully refill the DEF tank.

• If refill is not performed, a second low level warning will be given about 200 miles are left to empty the DEF Tank.

• Display message of speed limitation with DEF Low Level lamp will be there on dashboard.

• The driver will be informed about the speed restriction also when about 150 and 125 miles are left to empty the DEF Tank.

• When 100 miles are left to empty the DEF Tank, a continuous message display with chimes will be there on dashboard.

• When count down is over (0 mile left), continuous message "Speed limited at refuel or next engine start" is shown on EVIC. In this case if an engine restart or a diesel refuel action in engine-on condition is performed, vehicle’s speed will be limited to 5 mph and continuous message "Speed limited DEF low" is shown on EVIC.

• The restriction becomes inactive as soon as the DEF refill event is detected (minimum quantity to be added is 1 gallon).

If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

-ElectronicThrottleControl(ETC)IndicatorLight

This light informs you of a problem with the system.

If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.

If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an authorized dealer immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required, and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall, and your vehicle may require towing.

-TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)Light

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires).

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Page 81

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.

NOTE:

AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTE:

Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

-SeatBeltReminderLight

When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

-BrakeWarningLight

This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

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 the transmission to 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 blower 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.

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.

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.
