SENTRYKEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unauthorized operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine. The system will shut the engine off after 2 seconds of running if an invalid key is used to start the vehicle. This system utilizes ignition keys which have an electronic
chip(transponder)embeddedintothem.Onlykeysthat havebeenprogrammedtothevehiclecanbeusedtostart andoperatethevehicle.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System does not need to be armed or activated. Operation of the system is automatic regardless of whether or not the vehicle is locked or unlocked. During normal operation, the Theft Alarm / Immobilizer Light will come on three (3) seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned on for a bulb check. Afterwards, if the bulb remains on, this indicates a problem with the electronics.
If the bulb beginstoflashafterthe bulbcheck, this indicates that an invalid key has been used to start the vehicle. Both of these conditions will result in the engine being shutoff after two (2) second so running.

WARNING!
- 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 seriously injured or killed.
- 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.
WARNING!
- Wearing 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.
- Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
- Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly. Never use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.

Interior view of a car showing the seatbelt and dashboard (no text or symbols visible)WARNING!
- 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. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
- A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous. Your 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. Wear the belt over your shoulder so that your strongest bones will take the force in a collision.
-
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

- A 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. In a collision it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt is straight. If you can't straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to your dealer and have it fixed.
- Position the shoulder belton your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. Theretractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
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. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

DriverandFrontPassengerSupplemental RestraintSystem-Airbag
This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to these at belt restraints systems. The driver's front air bag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger's front air bag is mounted in the instrument panel, abovethe glove compartment. The words SRSAIRBAG are embossed on the airbag covers.

NOTE: ThefrontairbagsarecertifiedtotheFederal regulationsthatallowlessforcefuldeploymentinlow speedcollisions.
Thefrontairbagshaveamultistageinflatordesign. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity.
This vehicle may also be equipped with a driver in flat-able knee blocker located on the instrument panel below the steering column.
This vehicle may also be equipped with left and right side curtain air bag stop protected the driver and passengers sitting next to a window. If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain air bags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRSAIRBAG.

WARNING!
- Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. You 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 inflating.
- If your vehicle is equipped with left and right side curtain airbags, do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the side curtain airbag. The area where the side curtain airbag is located should remain free from any obstructions.
- If your vehicle is equipped with left and right side curtain airbags, do not have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.

You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.
- All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
- The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate.
- If your vehicle has left and right side curtain airbags, do not lean against the door, airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door.
WARNING!
- 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.
- Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during front airbag deployment could cause serious injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
- If the vehicle has left and right side curtain airbags, they also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.

Based onthelevelofcollisionseverity,thecontrolmodule determinestheproperrateofinflation.Thefront airbaginflatorsaredesignedtoprovidedifferentrates ofairbaginflation.Theairbagcontrolmodulewillnot detectrollovercollisions.
The airbag control module alsomonitorsthereadiness of the electronic part of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON positions. These include all of the items listed under "The Front Airbag System", except the passenger knee blocker, instrument panel and the steering wheel and column. If the key is in the OFF position, in the ACC position, or not in the ignition switch, the front air bags are not on and will not inflate.

The airbag control modules sends a message to the instrument cluster to turn on the AIRBAG light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition switch is first turnedON, thenturnsthelightoff. If the airbag control module detects a malfunction in any part of the system, the airbag light will turn one either momentarily or continuously.
WARNING!
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.

Different frontairbag inflation rates are possible, these rates are determined by the airbag control module based on collision severity. The frontairbag covers separate and fold out of the way as the frontairbags in flat to their full size. The front airbags fully inflate in about 50 milliseconds. This is only about half of the time it takes out to link your eyes. The frontairbag then quickly deflate while helping to restraint the driver and front passenger.

If An Airbag Deployment Occurs
The airbagsystems are designed to deploy when the airbag control modules detect a moderate-to-severe collision, to help prestrain the driver and front passenger, and then immediately deflate.
NOTE: A collision that is not severe enough one need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not means something is wrong with the air bags system.

If their irritation continues, see your doctor. If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
- It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbagshavedeployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags and seat belt pretensioners replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Enhanced Accident Response
If the airbags and seat belt hypertension deployment after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicle equipped with power door lock will unlock automatically. In addition, approximately 5 seconds after the vehicle has stopped moving, the interior light will illuminate until the ignition switch is turned off.
Maintaining Your Airbag System
WARNING!
- Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. You could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper right side of the instrument panel. Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle body structure, or frame.
- You need proper knee impact protection in a collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equipment on or behind the knee blockers.
- It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has airbags.

NOTE: Ifdesired, the fourth power outlet in there are cargo are can be converted by your authorized dealer to provide power with the ignition switch in the OFF position.
ElectricalOutletUseWithEngineOff
CAUTION!
- Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.
- Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution.
- After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
- Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

CAUTION!
- To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately.
- Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.
- Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Follow the Roof Rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

The Air Conditioning and Heating System is designed to make you comfortable in all types of weather.
Dual-ZoneAutomaticTemperatureControl
The Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) System automatically maintain the interior comfort level desired by the driver and front seat passenger. This is accomplished by using two infrared sensors located in the center of the instrument panel. The two infrared sensors independently measure the surface temperature of the driver and front seat passenger. Based on the sensor input, the system automatically adjust the air
temperature, the airflow volume, the airflow distribution, and amount of inside air recirculation to maintain front seat occupant comfort, even under changing out-sideweather conditions.

Using the "TEMP" buttons, adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain. When the system is set to your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings. You will experience the greatest efficiency by allowing the system function automatically. The system will operate fully automatically in either "AUTO HI" or "AUTO LO". The "AUTO LO" setting will limit them maximum fanspeed and should be used when more quiet operation is desired. Use the "AUTOHI" setting when the quickest cool-down or warm-up performance is desired.

Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust temperatures which can damage your vehicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.
WARNING!
Do not leave animals or children inside parked vehicles in hot weather; interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death.
The gear selectorm must be in the NEUTRAL or PARK position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes to foreshifting into any driving gear.
NormalStarting
Normal Starting of either acoldorawarmengine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. Turnthekey to the "START" position and release when the engine starts. If the engine has not started within 3 seconds, slightly depress the accelerator pedal while continuing to crank. If the engine failst o start within 15 seconds, turnthe key to the "OFF" position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedure.
Extremely Cold Weather (below -29^ or -20^ ) To insurer reliable starting at the set temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from your dealer) is recommended.
WARNING!
- Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly. See section 6 of this manual for the proper jump starting procedures and follow them carefully.
- Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
If Engine Fails to Start
If the engine failstostartafter you have followed the "NORMAL STARTING" procedure, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it ther while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
If the engine has been flooded, it may start torun, but not have enough power to continuer running when the key is released. If this occurs, continue ranking up to 15 seconds with the accelerator pedal pushed all the way to the floor. Releasethe accelerator pedal and the key on the engine is runnings smoothly. Donot overspeed engine.
If the engines shows nosignof starting after two 15 second period so of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor, the "NORMAL STARTING" procedure should be repeated.

AUTOMATICTRANSMISSION
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the following precautions are not observed:
- Shift into PARK 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.
- Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the engine is above idle speed.
- Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of "P" or "N" 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. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

The parking brakes should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
WARNING!
- Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous 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. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
- Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving: failure to do so can lead to brake failure, and an accident.
BRAKESYSTEM
Intheeventpowerassistislostforanyreason(for example,repeatedbrakeapplicationswiththeengine off),thebrakeswillstillfunction.Theeffortrequiredto brakethevehiclewillbemuchgreaterthanthatrequired withthepowersystemoperating.

Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brakes systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems, a normal capability, the remaining system will still function. There will become lossofoverallbrakingeffectiveness. This maybe evident by increased pedal travel during application, greater pedal for cerequired to slow or worst stop, and potential activation of the Brake Warning Lamp.
Anti-LockBrakeSystem
The Anti-Lock Brake System provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance undermost braking conditions. Thesystem automatically "pumps" the brakes during severe braking condition stop prevent wheellock-up.
WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
- Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
- The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.
- The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others.

POWERSTEERING
The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increase ease of maneuverability intight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost.
Ifforsomereason, the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to every your vehicle. Under these conditions you will observe substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicles speeds and during parking maneuvers.
NOTE: Increased noise levels at the end of the steering wheel travel are considered normal and does not indicate that there is a problem with the power steering system.
WARNING!
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!
Prolong operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and should be avoided when possible. Damage to the power steering pump may occur.
TRACTIONCONTROL—IFEQUIPPED
The TractionControlSystem reduces wheelslip and maintain instruction at the driving (front) wheels. The system reduces wheelslip by engaging the brake on the wheel that is losing traction (spinning). Thesystem will operate at speeds below 35 mph (56 km/h).

TirePressure
Propertireinflationpressureisessentialtothesafeand satisfactoryoperationofyourvehicle.Threeprimary areasareaffectedbyimpropertirepressure:
- Safety—
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents.
- Under inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire failure.
- Over inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
- Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
• Over inflated or under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. - 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 recommended cold tire inflation pressure.

NOTE: Donotusetirechainsonacompactsparetire.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions:
- Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged parts of the chain before further use.
- Install chains on the front wheels as tightly as possible and then retighten after driving about 12 mile (0.8 km).
- Do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h).
- Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
- Do not use on rear wheels of All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles.
- Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pavement.
- Observe the tire chain manufacturer's instructions on the method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the lower suggested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacture.

CarbonMonoxideWarnings
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
- Donotinhaleexhaustgases. They contain carbon monoxide, acolorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engineer running for an extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with the engineer running for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
- Guardagainstcarbonmonoxidewithpropermaintenance.Havetheexhaustsysteminspectedeverytime thevehicleisraised.Haveanyabnormalconditions repairedpromptly.Untilrepaired,drivewithallside windowsfullyopen.

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 cap could let impurities into the fuel system.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
NOTE:

- Whenthefuelnozzle"clicks"orshutsoff,thefuel tankisfull.
WARNING!
- Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury.
- The volatility of some gasolines may cause a buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may increase while you drive. This pressure can result in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents fuel spray.
- Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled.
- Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running.
- A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.

JUMP-STARTINGPROCEDURE SIFBATTERYIS LOW
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be hurt by the fan.
WARNING!
- Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow this procedure carefully.
- Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Don't lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water.
-
A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away from the vent holes. Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12 volts.
-
We are yeprotection and remove anymetal jewelry such as watchbandsorbraceletsthatmightmakean inadvertentelectrical contact.
- When boost is provided by abattery in another vehicle, park that vehicle within boostercablereach and without letting the vehicle touch. Set the parking brake, placethe automatic transmission in PARK and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position for both vehicles.

DRIVINGONSLIPPERYSURFACES
Acceleration
Rapidaccelerationonsnowcovered, wet, or otherslipperysurfaces may cause the front wheel stop pullratically to other right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a difference in the surface extraction under the front (driving) wheels.
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the front wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.).

4. Keep tires properly inflated.
5. Maintainsufficientdistancebetweenyourvehicleand thevehicleinfronttoavoidacollisioninasuddenstop.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sandorsnow, it can often be moved by arocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right handle left to clear the area around the front wheels. Thenshift back and forth between Reverse and Drive. Usually the least accelerator pedal pressure to maintain therocking motion without spinning the wheels is most effective.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck. And don't let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h).

CAUTION!
- Prolonged driving with the "Malfunction Indicator Light" on could cause further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions tests can be performed.
- If the "Malfunction Indicator Light" is flashing while the engine is running, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
EMISSIONSINSPECTIONANDMAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
Insomelocalities, it maybe a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle's semissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicleregistration.

ForstateswhichhaveanI/M(Inspection and Maintenance)requirement,thischeckverifiesthe following:theMIL(MalfunctionIndicatorLamp)
isfunctioningandisnotonwhentheengineisrunning, andthattheOBD(OnBoardDiagnostic)systemisready fortesting.
Normally, theOBDsystemwillbeready. TheOBD systemmay not beready if your vehicle was recently serviced, if you recently had a dead battery, or a battery replacement. If the OBD system should be determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.
Yourvehiclehasasimpleignitionkeyactuatedtest whichyoucanusepriortogoingtotheteststation.To checkifyourvehicle'sOBDsystemisready,youmustdo thefollowing:
- Insert your ignition key into the ignitions switch.
- TurntheignitiontotheONposition, butdonotcrank orstarttheengine.
- If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start the test over.
- As soon as y out turn your key to the ON position, you will see your MIL symbol come on as part of an normal bulb check.
- Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:
a. The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn off the
ignitionkeyorstarttheengine. This mean that your vehicle's OBD system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/Mstation.
b. The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until y out turn off the ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.
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 failure 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. Are check with the abovetest routine may then indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD system is ready or not ready, if the MIL symbol is illuminated during normal vehicle operation, you should have your vehicleservicedbeforegoingtotheI/Mstation.TheI/M stationcanfailyourvehiclebecausetheMILsymbolison withtheengine running.

If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with reliable cooling system cleaner. Follow with thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals. Properly dispose of antifreezesolution.
Selection Of Coolant
Useonlythemanufacturersrecommendedcoolant, refer toRecommendedFluids,LubricantsandGenuineParts forcorrectcoolanttype.
CAUTION!
- Mixing of coolants other than the specified HOAT coolant may result in decreased corrosion protection and engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty. If a non-HOAT coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
- Do not use plain water alone or alcohol base antifreeze products. Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible with the radiator coolant and may plug the radiator.
- This vehicle has not been designed for use with Propylene Glycol based coolants. Use of Propylene Glycol based coolants is not recommended.
Adding Coolant
Whenaddingcoolant, or refilling the system, a minimum of 50% solution of ethyleneglycolantifreeze coolant in waters should be used. Higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) are required if temperatures below -37°F (-38°C) are anticipated.
Useonlyhighpuritywatersuchasdistilledordeionized waterwhenmixingthewater/antifreezesolution.The useoflowerqualitywaterwillreducetheamountof corrosionprotectionintheenginecoolingsystem.
Pleasenotethatitistheowner's responsibility to maintain the proper level of protection against freezing according to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated.

WARNING!
- The warning words "DO NOT OPEN HOT" on the coolant pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add coolant to the cooling system when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the coolant pressure cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the coolant pressure cap while the system is hot or under pressure.
- Do not use a pressure cap other than the one specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or engine damage may result.

Procedure For Checking Fluid Level
Thefluidlevelintheautomatictransmissionsshouldbe checkedwheneverthevehicleisserviced.Operationwith animproperfluidlevelwillgreatlyreducethelifeofthe transmissionandofthefluid.
Toproperlychecktheautomatictransmissionfluidlevel, thefollowingproceduremustbeused:
- The vehicle must be on level ground.
-
The engines should be running at curbidlespeed for a minimum of 60 seconds.
-
Fully apply parking brake.
- Placethegareselectormomentarilyineachgear positionendingwiththeleverinP(PARK). Wipethearea aroundthedipstickcleantoeliminatethepossibility of dirtenteringthetransmission.
- Removethedipstick and determine if the fluid is hot, warm. Hot fluid is approximately 180^ F ( 82^ C), which is then normal operating temperature after the vehicle has been driven at least 15 miles (24 km). The fluid cannot be comfortably held between the fingertips. Cold when the fluid is below 80^ F ( 27^ C).
- Wipethedipstickcleanandreinsertuntilseated. Removedipstickandnotereading.
a. If the fluid is shot, thereadings should be in the crosshatched are marked "HOT" (between the upper two holes in the dipstick).
b. If the fluid disc cold, the fluid level should be between the lowertwoholes in the areamarked "COLD".
If the fluid level indicates slow, adds sufficient fluid to bring to the proper level.
CAUTION!
Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transmission can cause serious damage. To prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make certain that the dipstick cap is reseated properly.
Fluid and Filter Changes
Automatic transmission fluid should be changed on all transmissions as follows:
NormalUsage—Nochangenecessary
SevereUsage(fluidandfilter)—60,000miles(96000km)
SevereUsageisdefinedas:
- Police, taxi, limousine, commercial type operation, or trailertowing where the vehicle driven regularly for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE: RefertoSection8ofthismanualforMaintenanceSchedules.

CAUTION!
- When installing the Integrated Power Module cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the Integrated Power Module, and possibly result in a electrical system failure.
- When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
