A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer . Ask your dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place. The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks with either side up.
W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever . Don’t leave the keys in the ignition.
immediately after the ignition switch is turned on for a bulb check. Afterwar ds, if the bulb remains on, this indicates a problem with the electr onics. If the bulb begins to flash after the bulb check, this indicates that an invalid key has been used to start the vehicle.
consists of programming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one which has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to the dealer .
STEERING WHEEL LOCK Y our vehicle is equipped with a passive steering wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle without the ignition key . If the steering wheel is rotated no more than 1/2 turn in either direction and the key is not in the ignition switch, the steering wheel will lock.
W ARNING! When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal inju- ries and death.
4. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully disabled the double activation feature. Y ou can turn the feature back on by r epeating the above mentioned procedur e. Y ou can turn the feature back on by r epeating the above mentioned procedur e.
Child-Protection Door Lock System (Rear Doors) T o provide a safer envir onment for children riding in the rear seat, the r ear doors of your vehicle have the child- protection door lock system. T o use the system, open each rear door and slide the control UP to engage the locks and DOWN to disengage the child-protection locks.
INTERNAL EMERGENCY TRUNK LID RELEASE W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape, even if they entered through the rear seat.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y — IF EQUIPPED This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk or activate the panic alarm fr om distances up to about 23 feet (7 meters) using a hand held transmitter . NOTE: A slight delay of up to two seconds can occur before the doors or tr unk will unlock.
A chime will sound to signify that the feature has been successfully completed. T o Unlock the T runk Press the TRUNK button on the transmitter twice to unlock the trunk. NOTE: A slight delay of up to two seconds can occur before the tr unk unlatches.
General Information This device complies with FCC rules part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference that may be r eceived, in- cluding interference that may cause undesir ed operation.
3. T o reassemble the transmitter case, snap two halves together . Make sure ther e is an even gap between the two halves. T est transmitter operation. VEHICLE THEFT ALARM The system monitors the doors, trunk latch, and ignition for unauthorized operation.
NOTE: If the trunk is opened with the key while the system is armed, the alarm will sound. T o disarm the system: Unlock a front door using either the key or the Keyless Entry T ransmitter . Starting the vehicle with a valid Sentry key will disarm the system.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, fr ont airbags for both the driver and front passenger and side airbags for both the driver and front passenger .
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “ click. ” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
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 inches above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 ° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision. Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even .
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, they are located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instr u- ment panel knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant pr otection.
3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. 4. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door .
• Right and Left Side Impact Airbag Contr ol Modules (SIACM) • Interconnecting W iring How The Airbag System W orks Front Airbag System • The front Airbag Control Module determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to require the airbags to inflate.
W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG light in your instrument 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 .
However , if you have not healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
• In moderate to severe side collisions, the side airbag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered by the appropriate SIACM, r eleasing a quantity of non- toxic gas. The inflating side airbag exits through the seat seam into the space between the occupant and the door .
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an a.
• Safety experts recommend that childr en 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 r earward-facing: infant carriers and “ convertible ” child seats.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer ’ s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• If the belt still can ’ t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can ’ t make the child restraint secur e, try a differ ent seating position.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Lift the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products. T ether anchorage kits are also available for most older vehicles. Because the lower anchorages are to be intr oduced to passenger ca.
Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system. W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS The engine in your new vehicle does not requir e a long break-in period. 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.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.

MIRRORS Inside Day/Night Mirror Adjust the mirror to center on the view thr ough the rear window . A two point pivot system allows for horizontal and vertical mirror adjustment. Annoying headlight glare can be r educed by moving the small control under the mirr or to the night position (toward r ear of vehicle).
Electric Remote-Control Mirrors Use the mirror select switch, located on the drivers door trim panel, to adjust the view obtained in the outside mirrors. Pr ess the rocker knob to the L or R for Left or Right mirror selection. Use the center of f position to guard against accidentally moving a mirr or position.
W ARNING! • 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. Adjust the seat only while the vehicle is parked.
Folding Rear Seat T o provide additional storage ar ea, the center of each rear seatback can be folded forward. Pull on the loops shown in the picture to fold down either or both seatbacks. W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE HOOD T o open the hood, two latches must be released. First pull the hood release lever located under the driver ’ s side of the instrument panel. Then lift the safety catch located under the front edge of the hood, near the center and raise the hood.
Use the hood prop r od to secure the hood in the open position as shown. T o prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Use a firm downward push at the center of the hood to ensure that both latches engage. W ARNING! If the hood is not fully latched it could fly up when the vehicle is moving and block your forward vision.
Interior Lights The interior lights come on when a door is opened. The interior lights will automatically turn off in about 8 minutes if a door is left open or the dimmer control is left in the Dome light position. T urn the ignition switch ON to restor e the interior light operation.
Multi-Function Control Lever The Multi-Function Control Lever contr ols the operation of the headlights, parking lights, turn signals, headlight beam selection, instrument panel light dimming, interior lights, the passing lights, and fog lights. The lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only) The front fog lights will come on as Daytime Running Lights whenever the ignition is on, the headlights are of f, and the parking brake is off.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND W ASHERS The wipers and washers are operated by a switch in the control lever . Move the control lever up to select the desired wiper speed. Windshield W ashers T o use the washer , pull the control lever towar d you and hold while spray is desired.
Intermittent Wiper System Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be- tween cycles, desirable. Move the lever to the first detent (DEL) position, then select the delay interval by turning the end of the stalk.
W ARNING! T ilting the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. W ithout a stable steering col- umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve- hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.
Once the sunroof panel is in the full vent position, you may momentarily move the switch rearwar d (less than one second) to initiate the express open mode. During this operation, any movement of the switch will stop the sunroof and it will r emain in a partial open position.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if so equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
Ash Receiver and Cigar Lighter When the Smoker ’ s Package is order ed from your autho- rized dealer , an ash receiver tray and a cigar lighter element are furnished. The lighter element can be in- serted in the auxiliary power outlet. The ash receiver fits snugly in a cupholder position.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS 1. Fog Light Indicator This light shows when the fog lights are ON. 2. Brake System W arning Light This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application.
If the ABS light remains on or comes on during 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 provided that the BRAKE warning light is not on.
The light does not show the quantity of oil in the engine. This can be determined using the procedur e shown in Section 7. 9. Seat Belt Reminder Light When the ignition key is first turned on, this light will come on for about six seconds. A chime will sound if you have not pulled the shoulder belt out of the retractor .
16. Malfunction Indicator Light This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD that monitors engine con- trol systems. The light will be illuminated when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly .
20. T rip Indicator This light will illuminate when the T rip Odometer is in use. 21. T emperature Gauge The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature. Normal operating range should be within one notch above or one notch below the 200 degree mark.
ELECTRONIC DIGIT AL CLOCK The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the time in hours and minutes whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is accurately maintained.
Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the fr equency variations that carry the FM signal.
NOTE: Power to operate the radio is supplied through the ignition switch. It must be in the ON or ACC position to operate the radio.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, turn the key OFF wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedur e. W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up.
MANUAL TRANSAXLE NOTE: The parking brake should be engaged and the gear selector placed in REVERSE before leaving the vehicle, especially on an incline. NOTE: Clutch must be depressed for engine to start. Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e you shift gears.
For most city driving you will find it easier to use only the lower gears. For steady highway driving with light accelerations, 5th gear is recommended. Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, or try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged.
T ABLE 3-MANUAL TRANSAXLE RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS IN MPH (KM/H) ENGINE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE SHIFT SPEEDS SIZE 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 2.4L TURBO 30 50 80 1 10 (48) (80) (129) (177) If you exceed these speeds, you may notice the engine cut in and out.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sur e that the parking brake is set. T o set the parking brake, pull up firmly on the lever . Also place the gear selector in Reverse (manual transaxle). T o release the parking brake, apply the brake pedal and pull up on the parking brake lever .
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with power assisted brakes as standard equipment. In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, r epeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The effort r equired to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that requir ed with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “ P ” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: 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 standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck 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 carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
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 date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: Some vehicles have a “ T ire and Loading Infor- mation ” placard located on the driver ’ s side “ B ” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire ’ s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loa.
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 reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 1 1 1 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tire 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.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap – if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “ cold tire inflation pr essure ” .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don ’ t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
CAUTION! Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with the compact spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may result. Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle ’ s wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h).
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves and will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
Tire Chains Due to limited clearance, tire chains ar e not recom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. Snow Tires Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tires during winter .
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). Tire Rotation Recommendations T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving and braking functions.
SELECTING FUEL 2.4L TURBO Y our engine is designed to meet all emis- sion regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 91. The purchase of higher octane is not recommended.
The manufacturer supports the use of r eformulated gaso- lines. Properly blended r eformulated gasolines will pro- vide excellent performance and durability for the engine and fuel system components. Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with mate- rials called oxygenates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE and ETBE.
conditions and would result in unnecessary cost. Ther e- fore you should not have to add anything to the fuel. Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle ’ s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
• Guard against carbon monoxide with pr oper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that the cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tightened properly , the Malfunc- tion Indicator light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is fueled.

HAZARD W ARNING FLASHER The flasher switch is on top of the steering column, just behind the steering wheel. Depress the switch and both cluster indicators and all front and r ear direc- tional signals will flash. Depress the switch again to turn Hazard W arning Flashers off.
NOTE: There ar e steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition. If your air conditioner is on, turn it off. The air conditioning system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning off the A/C removes this heat.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground. CAUTION! Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on the crossmember below the radiator or on the front suspension crossmember .
Do not raise the vehicle until you are sur e the jack is securely engaged. 4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right. Raise the vehicle only until the tire clears the surface. Miminum tire lift pr ovides maximum vehicle stability . W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable.
7. Finish tightening the nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening the wheel nuts. Alternate nuts until each nut has been tightened twice. Correct wheel nut tor que is 100 ft. lbs. (135 N · m.). If you are not sur e about the tightness, have them checked with a torgue wr ench by your dealer or at a service station.
1. W ear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. 2. When boosting from a battery in another vehicle, park that vehicle within booster cable reach but without letting the vehicles touch.
W ARNING! Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, and engine control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle ’ s emissions control system.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings. Maintain the oil level between the MIN and MAX markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the reading is at the MIN mark will result in a MAX r eading on these engines.
• Driving in dusty conditions • Short trips of less than 10 miles (16.2 km) • More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather , above 90 ° F (32 ° C) • T railer .
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only r ecommends API Certified engine oils. Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -30 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be replaced at every engine oil change. Engine Oil Filter Selection All of this manufacturers engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider - ably .
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
Ignition Wiring System The ignition cables should be kept clean and properly connected. T erminals should be fully seated. Cracked, damaged, or faulty cables should be replaced. Crankcase Emission Control System Proper operation of this system depends on fr eedom from sticking or plugging due to deposits.
Maintenance-Free Battery The top of the MAINTENANCE-FREE battery is perma- nently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed. CAUTION! When servicing the battery , always reinstall the battery thermowrap. The thermowrap provides bat- tery heat protection and will extend overall battery life.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar - bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pr o- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.

If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or if exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle; or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have a competent mechanic inspect the complete exhaust system and adjacent body areas of br oken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Check the front of the radiator for an accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. Clean the radiator by gently spraying water from a gar den hose at the back of the core. Check the coolant recovery bottle tubing for brittle r ubber , cracking, tears, cuts and tightness of the connection at the bottle and radiator .
Adding Coolant When adding coolant, or refilling the system, a minimum solution of 50% recommended HOA T ethylene glycol engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water should be used. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below ⫺ 37 ° C( ⫺ 34 ° F ) are anticipated.
Coolant Level The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is adequate. W ith the engine idling, and warm to normal operating tempera- ture, the level of the coolant in the bottle should be between the “ FULL ” and “ ADD ” marks.
Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few kilome- ters (a few miles) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure.
NOTE: Inspection of brake hoses should be done whenever the brake system is serviced and every engine oil change. W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
W ARNING! Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard pro- longed braking. Y ou could have an accident. W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire.
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body car requirements vary accor ding to geo- graphic locations and usage.
CAUTION! Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces.
