A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The authorized dealer that sold you your vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your authorized dealer . Ask your authorized dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place.
3. Remove the key from the ignition lock cylinder . NOTE: If you try to remove the key befor e you place the shift lever in P ARK, the key may become temporarily trapped in the ignition cylinder . If this occurs, rotate the key to the right slightly , then remove the key as de- scribed.
CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Manual T ransmission — If Equipped When the steering wheel is in the LOCK position, the steering and ignition systems are locked to pr ovide antitheft protection for your vehicle.
Locking Doors With A Key Y ou can insert the key into the door lock cylinder with either side up. T o lock the driver’s door , turn the key rearwar d. T o unlock the driver’s door , turn the key forward. For external door lock lubrication, r efer to “Maintenance Procedur es” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle”.
SENTR Y KEY 姞 — IF EQUIPPED The Sentry Key 威 prevents unauthorized vehicle opera- tion by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated.
Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that are pr ogrammed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key 威 is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. CAUTION! Always remove the Sentry Keys 威 from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat- tended.
3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition switch. T urn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound. In addition, the V ehicle Security Light will begin to flash. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key .
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED The V ehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the V e- hicle Security Alarm is activated it will provide both audible and visible signals.
The V ehicle Security Alarm is designed to pr otect your vehicle; however , you can create conditions wher e the V ehicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly . If you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the RKE transmitter , the alarm will sound when you pull the door handle to exit.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y (RKE) This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors or activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to appr oxi- mately 66 ft (20 m) using a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
T o Unlock The Doors Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock only the driver’s door or twice to unlock all the doors. When the unlock button is pressed, the illuminated entry will initiate, and the parking lights will flash twice.
Horn Chirp Programming The horn chirp feature is shipped fr om the assembly plant activated. If desired, this featur e can be disabled by using the following procedur e: 1. Press and hold the LOCK button on the RKE trans- mitter . 2. After holding the LOCK button for four seconds, also press the P ANIC button within six seconds.
4. T est the Flash Lamps W ith Lock feature while outside of the vehicle by pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter with the ignition in the OFF position and the key removed. NOTE: Pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmit- ter while you are in the vehicle will activate the V ehicle Security Alarm.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions: 1. W eak battery in the RKE transmitter . The expected life of battery is five years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , military base, and some mobile or CB radios.
2. Remove and replace the battery . When replacing the battery , match the + sign on battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery clip, located on the back cover . A void touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration.
W ARNING! • Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Mon- oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Car- bon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled. • Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters away from children.
• The hazard switch is pr essed • The transmission is moved out of P ARK • The brake pedal is pressed T o Exit Remote Start Mode without Driving the V ehicle Press and r elease the REMOTE ST ART button one time, or allow the engine to run for the entir e 15-minute cycle.
DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks All the doors can be manually locked from the inside by pushing down the door lock plunger , located on the door trim panel. Both front doors may be opened fr om the inside with the door lock plunger in the down or locked position.
W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors as you drive, as well as when you park and leave the vehicle. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons.
If you press the power door LOCK switch while the key is in the ignition, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you fr om acciden- tally locking your keys in the vehicle. Removing the key , or closing the door , will allow the locks to operate.
Auto Unlock On Exit Feature — If Equipped This feature unlocks all of the doors of the vehicle when any door is opened. This will occur only after the vehicle has been shifted into the P ARK position after the vehicle has been driven (shifted out of P ARK and the doors closed).
Child Protection Door Lock 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 , slide the lever up to engage the locks, and down to disengage the child- protection locks.
• For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the door lock switch to the UNLOCK position, roll down the window and open the door with the outside door handle. WINDOWS Power Windows The control on the left fr ont door has up-down switches that give you finger-tip contr ol of all the power windows.
W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seri- ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
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 partially open. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized.
NOTE: The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on severity and type of collision. Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly , to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
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 in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
W ARNING! • A belt 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.
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.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you will prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it down to make sure that it is locked in the desired position.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert 姞 ) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the BeltAlert 威 will alert the driver to buckle the seat belt.
4. T urn off the engine. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming. BeltAlert 威 can be reactivated by r epeating this procedur e. NOTE: Although BeltAlert 威 has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled.
center of the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS AIRBAG are embossed on the airbag covers. NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Front Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemen.
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually .
The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that ar e calibrated to deploy the SABIC airbags during impacts that requir e airbag occu- pant protection.
W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all fr ontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle of fset collisions.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Airbag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted. The diagnostics also recor d the nature of the malfunction. 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.
deploy the SABIC airbags, depending on severity and type of collision. In these events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC only on the impact side of the vehicle. A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window .
• T urn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlock the doors automatically . If a Deployment Occurs The airbags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. T ake your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice.
located on the inside of the fuse block cover for the proper airbag fuses. See your authorized dealer if the fuse is good. Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is design.
accessing the electronic data stor ed, unless order ed to download data by a court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy of the data will be provided to the custodial entity upon r equest.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and children. Every state in the United States, and all Canadian provinces, r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
by children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. Both types of child restraints ar e held in the vehicle by the seat belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. (Refer to “LA TCH - Child Seat Anchorage System”.
• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. • The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
Here ar e some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufactur er recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it.
provides for the installation of the child r estraint without using the vehicle’s seat belts, instead securing the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper tether straps from the child r estraint to the vehicle structur e. LA TCH- compatible child restraint systems ar e now available.
Crew Cab • The Crew Cab second r ow seat has lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LA TCH- compatible child seats having flexible, webbing- mounted lower attachments at all three seating posi- tions. Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only .
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System — if equipped W e urge you to car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint.
anchorages. Next, attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover material. Then, attach the tether strap to the anchorage located on the back of the seat, being careful to route the tether strap to pr ovide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt The passenger seat belts are equipped with either cinch- ing latch plates or automatic locking retractors, which ar e designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint, so that it should not be necessary to use a locking clip.
Child Restraint T ether Anchor The Extended Cab model has one routing strap located at the bottom of the front passenger seat side, rear outboar d seating position. The tether anchor itself is located in the center of vehicle, in between the two seating positions.
2. Connect the tether strap to the lower anchor located at the bottom rear of the seat. 3. Remove the slack in the tether strap so that it is pulled tight. T ether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Extended Cab) 1. Route the child restraint tether strap through the routing loop, located dir ectly behind the child restraint.
2. Route the tether strap across to the center tether anchorage. The center tether is located behind the slide door in the center of the vehicle, between the two seating positions. 3. Remove the slack in the tether strap so that the anchor strap is pulled tight.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not requir ed 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. • Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly . Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, when 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 com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for br oken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside the V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect the tr ead and sidewall for cuts and cracks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat buildup may cause serious injury or death.
Extreme Cold Weather (below –20°F or –29°C) T o ensure r eliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail- able from your dealer) is r ecommended.
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. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in the P ARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
gear (Overdrive). The transmission will automatically shift from Drive to Over drive, if the following conditions are pr esent: • the shift lever is in DRIVE; • the engine coolant has reached norm.
When to Use TOW/HAUL Mode When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer , carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc- curs, press the T OW/HAUL switch. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission overheating or failur e due to excessive shifting.
The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated. Pressing the switch a second time r estores normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be pressed each time the engine is started.

positions are designed for loose or slippery r oad surfaces only . Driving in the 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW posi- tions on dry hard-surfaced r oads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
W ARNING! Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the “SVC 4WD W arning Light” is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll, which may cause personal injury . NOTE: Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or r ear wheels are spinning.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmission position.
Shifting Procedure – NV233/243 T ransfer Case NOTE: If any of the requir ements to select a new transfer case position have not been met, the transfer case will not shift, the indicator light for th.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), or completely stopped. USE EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES: Preferred Procedure 1. W ith the engine running, slow the vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). 2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
LIMITED-SLIP REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL — IF EQUIPPED The limited-slip differ ential provides additional traction on snow , ice, mud, sand and gravel. It improves traction when there is a dif ference between the characteristics of the surface under the right and left rear wheels.
3. Replace tires when tread wear indicators first become visible. 4. Keep tires properly inflated. 5. Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle and the car in front of you to avoid a collision in a sudden stop.
CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances.
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave the transmission in P ARK. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
The ABS remains operational in the four -wheel drive mode. The level of performance is reduced when the front brakes ar e locked up. This will cause the rear brakes to lock-up through the drivetrain, which may r educe the effectiveness of the anti-lock system.
W ARNING! Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
When you are in a sever e braking condition involving use of the ABS, you will experience some pedal drop as the vehicle comes to a stop. This is the result of the system reverting to the base brake system. Engagement of the ABS may be accompanied by a pulsing sensation.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es 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.

282 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
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 ve- hicle 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 pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.” Cold tir e inflation pressur e is defined as the tire pr essure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.
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. Do not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS CAUTION! • The use of chains is permitted only on vehicles equipped with P245/70R16 tires. • Use only “Class S” chains or other traction aids that meet SAE T ype “S” specifications. • T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower sug- gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacturer .
SNOW TIRES Snow tires should be of the same size and type constr uc- tion as the front tir es. Consult the manufacturer of the snow tire to determine any maximum vehicle speed requir ement associated with the tire. These tir es should always be operated at the vehicle maximum capacity inflation pressur es under any load condition.
The suggested rotation method is the “forwar d cross” shown in the following diagram. This rotation pattern does not apply to some directional tir es that must not be reversed.
TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure if the tir e pressur e falls below the low pressur e warning threshold for any reason, including low temperatur e effects, or natural pressur e loss through the tir e.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures 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.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pr essure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels.

be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformulated gasoline. Materials Added T o Fuel All gasolines sold in the United States are r equired to contain effective deter gent additives.
CAUTION! (Continued) • The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers is not recommended. Many of these products contain high concentra- tions 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 .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper maintenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnor- mal conditions repaired promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open.
CAUTION! Only vehicles with the E85 fuel filler door label can operate on E85. Ethanol Fuel (E85) E85 is a mixture of appr oximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury .
For best results, a refueling pattern that avoids alternat- ing between E85 and unleaded gasoline is recom- mended. When you do switch fuel types, it is recommended that: • you do not add less than .
Starting The characteristics of E85 fuel make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the range of 0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), you may experience an increase in the time it takes for your engine to start, and a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations) until the engine is fully warmed up.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door . When fueling, the cap may be placed on the inside of the filler door . If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal regulations and will cause the “Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle or on a truck bed.
VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label As requir ed by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration Regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door .
Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum permissible load on the front and rear axles. The load must be distributed in the car go area so that the GA WR of each axle is not exceeded. Each axle GA WR is determined by the component in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires, or wheels).
should then be determined separately to be sure that the load is properly distributed over fr ont and rear axle. W eighing the vehicle may show that the GA WR of either the front or r ear axles has been exceeded but the total load is within the specified GVWR.
Common T owing Definitions The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following information: 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.
T railer T ongue W eight (TW) The tongue weight is the downward for ce exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer is the tongue weight. In most cases it should not be less than 10% or more than 15% of the trailer load. Y ou must consider this as part of the load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! • An improperly adjusted weight-distributing hitch may reduce handling, stability , and braking per- formance, and could result in an accident.

T railer Hitch Classification The rear bumper is intended to tow trailers up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) without added equipment or alter- ations to the standard equipment. Y our vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional T railer T ow Prep Package.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) NOTE: For additional trailer towing information (maxi- mum trailer weight ratings) refer to the following website addresses: • http:// www .
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • When hauling cargo or towing a trailer , do not overload your vehicle or trailer . Overloading can cause a loss of control, poor performance or dam- age to brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires.
T owing Requirements – T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
− T railer brakes are r ecommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and requir ed for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg). CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity .
T owing Requirements – T railer Lights and W iring Whenever you pull a trailer , regar dless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are r equired for motoring safety . The T railer T ow Package may include a four and seven- pin wiring harness.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away fr om heavy traffic. Automatic T ransmission The “DRIVE” range can be selected when towing. How- ever , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the TOW/HAUL feature should be selected.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing. T ow/Haul – If Equipped T o reduce potential for automatic transmission over heat- ing, turn the TOW/HAUL feature ON when driving in hilly areas or shift the transmission to Drive position 2 on more sever e grades.
