The automatic drive positioner system will
make the steering wheel move up
automatically when the key is removed
from the ignition switch. This lets the
driver get into and out of the seat more
easily. The steering wheel moves back
into position when the key is inserted into
the ignition switch. For more information,

WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired adults, or
pets alone in your vehicle. They could ac-
cidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the ve-
hicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tempera-
tures in a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
O Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously in-
jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children's
access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)
WARNINGDo not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle in-
spected immediately.
O Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
O Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
O Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open, follow
these precautions:
Ð Open all the windows.
Ð Set the air recirculation switch OFF
and the fan control at high to circu-
late the air.
O If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the
seal on the trunk lid or the body, follow
the manufacturer's recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
O If a special body, camper, or other equip-
ment is added for recreational or other
usage, follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendation to prevent carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle. (Some recre-
ational vehicle appliances such as
stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
O The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
Ð Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
Ð You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
Ð You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
Ð You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND

stalled according to the chain manu-
facturer's suggestions. However, some
provinces and states prohibit their
use. Check local state and provincial
laws before installing tire chains. Use
only SAE Class S chains. Class ªSº
chains are used on vehicles with re-
stricted tire to vehicle clearance. Ve-
hicles that can use Class ªSº chains
are designed to meet the SAE stan-
dard minimum clearances between the
tire and the closest vehicle suspen-
sion or body component required to
accommodate the use of a winter trac-
tion device (tire chains or cables). The
minimum clearances are determined
using the factory equipped tire size.
Other types may damage your vehicle.
Use chain tensioners when recom-
mended by the tire chain manufac-
turer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end
links of the tire chain must be secured
or removed to prevent the possibility
of damage to the fenders or under-
body. If possible, avoid fully loading
your vehicle when using tire chains. In
addition, drive at a reduced speed.
Otherwise, your vehicle may be dam-
aged and/or vehicle handling and per-
formance may be adversely affected. O Never install the tire chains on TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tires.
O Do not use the tire chains on dry roads.
O The tire chains must be installed only
on the rear wheels and not on the front
wheels.
Do not drive with tire chains on paved
roads which are clear of snow. Driving
with chains in such conditions can
cause damage to the various mecha-
nisms of the vehicle due to some over-
stress.
4. For all-wheel drive (AWD):
If you install snow tires, they must
also be the same size, brand, con-
struction and tread pattern on all four
wheels.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT It is recommended that the following items
be carried in the vehicle during winter:
O a scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re-
move ice and snow from the windows
and wiper blades.
O a sturdy, flat board to be placed under
the jack to give it firm support. O a shovel to dig the vehicle out of
snow-drifts.
O extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING O Wet ice (32ÉF, 0ÉC and freezing rain),
very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or ªgripº under
these conditions. Try to avoid driving on
wet ice until the road is salted or sanded.
O Whatever the condition, drive with cau-
tion. Accelerate and slow down with
care. If accelerating or downshifting too
fast, the drive wheels will lose even
more traction.
O Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.

Stopping the vehicle 1. Safely move the vehicle off the road
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the
parking brake. Shift the manual trans-
mission into the R (Reverse) position
(automatic transmission into the P
(Park) position).
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic,
and to signal professional road assis-
tance personnel that you need assis-
tance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the ve-
hicle and stand in a safe place, away
from traffic and clear of the vehicle.
WARNINGO Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the manual transmission is
shifted into R (Reverse), or the automatic
transmission into P (Park). O Never change tires when the vehicle is
on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
O Never change tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
Blocking wheels Place suitable blocks
q 1
at both the front
and back of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the flat tire to prevent the vehicle
from moving when it is jacked up.
WARNING Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury. MCE0001A

The jack should be used on level firm
ground.
2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two
turns by turning counterclockwise with
the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove
the wheel nuts until the tire is off the
ground.
3. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tire
clears the ground. To lift the vehicle,
securely hold the jack lever and rod
with both hands as shown above. Re-
move the wheel nuts, and then re-
move the tire.
WARNING O Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by the jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
O Use only the jack provided with your ve-
hicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use the
jack provided with your vehicle on other
vehicles. The jack is designed for lifting
only your vehicle during a tire change. O Never use any other part of the vehicle
for jack support.
O Never jack up the vehicle more than nec-
essary.
O Never use blocks on or under the jack.
O Do not start or run the engine while ve-
hicle is on the jack. This is especially
true for vehicles with limited slip differ-
entials.
O Do not allow passengers to stay in the
vehicle while it is on the jack. SCE0504

WARNING O Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tight-
ened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to
become loose or come off. This could
cause an accident.
O Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.
O Retighten the wheel nuts after the ve-
hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.). As soon as possible tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
80 ft-lb (108 N z m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specification at each lubrication interval.
Adjust the tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.

vehicle with the front wheels raised, al-
ways use towing dollies under the rear
wheels.
O When towing rear wheel drive models
with the front wheels on the ground or
on towing dollies:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position,
and secure the steering wheel in a
straight ahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never secure the steering
wheel by turning the ignition key to the
LOCK position. This may damage the
steering lock mechanism.
