In the event of an individual being locked inside the trunk, the trunk can be simply opened by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark handle attached to the trunk latching mechanism.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems. The following safety features are standard on all vehicles: • Three-point lap and shoulder .
more information on LA TCH, see Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) in this section. NOTE: The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle ar e equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor will lock only during very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoul- der part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A belt that is worn under your arm is very danger- ous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
warning is triggered, BeltAlert 威 will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt W arning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. BeltAlert 威 will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Automatic Locking Mode In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. However , the belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking mode is available on all passenger-seating positions. Use the Automatic Locking mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in a passenger seating position.
dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not required, remove the ex- tender , and stow it. W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision.
NOTE: The front airbags are certified to the Federal regulations that allow less forceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
Front Seat Airbag Features The front airbag system has dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags. This system pr ovides output appro- priate to the level of crash severity as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and the impact sensors at the front of the car .
Supplemental Front Seat-Mounted Thorax Side Airbags Front seat-mounted thorax side airbags provide en- hanced protection and work together with supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The seat-mounted side airbag is marked with an airbag label sewn into the outboard side of the seat.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) — If Equipped Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Airbags offer side-impact protection to fr ont and rear seat outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the body structure.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually . Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflat- ing.
The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to severe frontal collisions. If your vehicle is equipped, the side airbag on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered in moderate to severe side collisions.
Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sure that you are using it pr operly . 2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate.
Airbag Deployment Sensors and Controls Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) The Occupant Restraint Controller System (ORC) is part of a Federally regulated safety system requir ed for this vehicle. The ORC determines if a frontal collision is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Airbag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
The following requir ements must be strictly adhered to: • Do not make any modifications to the front passenger seat components, assembly , or to the seat cover in any way . • Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed.
• Flashes hazard lights • T urns on the interior lights which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed • Unlocks the doors automatically If a Deployment Oc.
irritation, move to fresh air . If the irritation continues, see your doctor . If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer’s instruc- tions for cleaning. • It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed.
NOTE: Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply . See www .dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/per chlorate W ARNING! Do not attempt to modify any part of your advanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modifications are made.

• T ransmission gear selection • Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability contr ol status • T ire Pressur e Monitoring System status (if equipped) Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all thetime, including babies and children.
Infants and Small Children • Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, then the child should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
• Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it.
CAUTION! When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. Don’t leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal injury .
Rear Seat LA TCH Anchors Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorage have been available for some time.
have tether straps, and you are urged to take advantage of all of the available attachments provided with your child restraint in any vehicle. NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant r estraints ar e stowed and out of reach of children.
In addition, ther e ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the r ear seatback and the rear window .
reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child r estraint, route the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inquisitive child.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable r ear head restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS 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.
Airbag W arning Light The Airbag W arning Light should come on and remain on for six to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting, have it checked. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belt. Make sure all occupants have securely fastened their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Tip Start Feature Do not press the accelerator . T urn the ignition key briefly to ST AR T position, and release it. The starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running. If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengage automatically in 10 seconds.
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold W eather” proce- dures, it may be flooded. T o clear any excess fuel, push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it. Then, turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift the shift lever into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift the shift lever into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the vehicle into P ARK, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
NOTE: If this occurs, even if the override is successful, it is recommended that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our dealer has diagnostic equip- ment to determine if the problem could recur .
Gear Ranges P ARK Supplements the parking brake by locking the transaxle. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use P ARK while vehicle is in motion. Apply parking brake when leaving vehicle in this range. When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever into the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake.
NEUTRAL Engine may be started in this range. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn of f the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. Y ou might lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
DRIV E3—4 Speed T ransaxle This range eliminates shifts into fourth gear . The trans- axle will operate normally in first and second gear . Shifts into third gear may be delayed to provide second gear operation at higher speeds.
In the event of a momentary problem, the transaxle can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the following steps: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Shift the shift lever into P ARK. 3. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. 4. Restart the engine.
NOTE: In Autostick 威 mode, the transaxle will only shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to the right (+) or left (-). AutoStick 威 is deactivated when the shift lever is moved from the AutoStick (+/-) position into the DRIVE position.
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the front wheels to pull errati- cally to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a differ ence 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 cross a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will pr ovide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not required. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transaxle locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
• If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle is moving, a chime will sound to alert the driver . The chime will sound up to 10 times or until the vehicle has returned to a stop. The Brake System W arning Light in the instrument cluster will turn on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is on.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capability , the r emaining system will still function.
Anti-Lock Brake System — If Equipped The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer .
If the Anti-Lock Brake Light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is requir ed. However , the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the Brake System W arn- ing Light is not on.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys- ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
If both the Brake W arning Light and the ABS Light remain on, the Anti-Lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems are not function- ing. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. See your authorized Dealer Service Center .
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and type and tires must be properly inflated to produce accurate signals for the computer . ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle may be equi.
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emer gency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! (Continued) • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavail- able.
NOTE: • The ESP Indicator Light and the ESP/BAS W arning Light come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System will be ON even if it was turned off previously . • The ESP Contr ol System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on European design standards LT = Light truck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can ca.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The pr oper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar . T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tell.
NOTE: Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GA WRs) for the front and rear axles must not be exceeded. For further information on GA WRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing, refer to “V ehicle Loading” in this section.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this r educes the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
304 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. Economy Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emergency use with radial tires. It is engineered to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be repair ed (or replaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tire warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or r ear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck. Refer to “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in Section 6 of this manual for additional information.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes approximately 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e should be replaced.
Information” placar d for the size designation of your tire. The service description and load identification will be found on the original equipment tire. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety , handling, and ride of your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) • The T ir e Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressur e. • The tire pressur e will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12 F (7 C).
once the system receives the updated tire pressur es. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. − For example, your vehicle may have a recom- mended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure of 30 psi (207 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire car e and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tir e to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pressur e is low in one or more of the four active road tires.
NOTE: 1. The compact spare tire (if so equipped) does not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor . Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tire.
• Three T rigger Modules (mounted in thr ee of the four wheel-wells) • V arious T ir e Pressure Monitoring System Messages, which display in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) • T.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate all tires with low pr essure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure value.
If the ignition key 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 longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, the TPM T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC will display a ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message for thr ee seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressur e value.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 2.4L and 2.7L Engine The 2.4L and 2.7L engines are designed to meet all emission regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded “regu- lar” gasolines having an octane rating of 87.
Over 40 automobile manufacturers around the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle.
Problems that result from using methanol/gasoline or E85 Ethanol blends are not the responsibility of the manufacturer . While MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Methanol. E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel V ehicles Non-FFV vehicles are compatible with gasoline contain- ing 10% ethanol (E10).
of gasoline may not be indicated on the gasoline pump, therefor e, you should ask your gasoline retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains MMT . It is even mor e important to look for gasolines without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the manufacturer .
FLEXIBLE FUEL— 2.7L ONL Y (EXCEPT CALIFORNIA EMISSION ST A TES) E-85 General Information The information in this section is for Flexible Fuel ve- hicles only .
Along with the special E-85 fuel filler cap, your vehicle may display a badge, which also indicates it can operate on E-85. ETHANOL FUEL (E-85) E-85 is a mixtur e of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury .
When you do switch fuel types it is recommended that: • you do not add less than 5 gal (19 L) when refueling • you drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard starting and/or significant deterioration in drivability during warm up.
Cruising Range Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con- sumption. Y ou can expect your fuel economy and driving range to decrease by about 30% compared to gasoline operation.
The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door , on the left r ear quarter panel of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sur e the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle. After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door .
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). • A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into the fuel system and could cause the • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light to turn on.
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened properly . The Malfunction Indicator Light in the in- strument cluster may turn on if the gas cap is not secured properly . Make sure that the gas cap is tight- ened each time the vehicle is refueled.
• T ype of V ehicle • Month Day and Hour of Manufacture (MDH) The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the V ehicle Identification Number (VIN). Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, and cargo.
Figure out the weight on the front and rear of the vehicle separately . It is important that you distribute the load evenly over the front and rear axles. Overloading can cause potential safety hazar ds and shorten useful service life. Heavier axles or suspension components do not necessarily incr ease the vehicle’s GVWR.
Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, cargo, and tongue weight.
Frontal Area The frontal ar ea is the maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer and its cargo. W eight-Carrying Hitch A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or some other connecting point of the truck.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Maximum T railer W eight Ratings Engine/T ransaxle Max. Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.
CAUTION! T owing a trailer with a larger than recommended frontal area could cause the engine to overheat or cause severe engine damage under extreme condi- tions. T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer .
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or authorized dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer tow- ing as safe as possible: • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and that it will not shift during travel.
4. T railer tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requir ement may limit the ability to always achieve 10% of trailer tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight). T owing Requirements — T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes with adequate braking capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
Automatic T ransaxle The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. How- ever , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, third gear for a four -speed automatic and the fifth gear for a six-speed AutoStick 威 should be selected.
Cooling System T o r educe potential for engine and transaxle overheating, take the following actions: • City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, put transaxle in neutral and increase engine idle speed. • Highway Driving Reduce speed. • Air Conditioning T urn of f temporarily .
