Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.

settle on the lens and reflector. Never turn the lamps on with the bulb
removed.

in the tail lamp assembly. Follow the same steps to replace either bulb.

•Perform the following programming procedure yourself:
Note:Ensure the brake pedal is not
depressed during this sequence.
Place the key in the ignition and
cycle from 1 (off) to 3 (on) eight
times in rapid succession within
10 seconds. After doors lock/unlock,
press any control on all transmitters
(up to four). After pressing the
control on each remote transmitter,
the door will lock and unlock. If
programming multiple remote transmitters, you must press the control
buttons on each remote transmitter within seven seconds of each other
to remain in programming mode. When completed, turn the ignition to 1
(off).
All transmittersmustbe programmed at the same time.
•When completed, turn the ignition to the 1 (on) position and wait at
least 20 seconds in order to use the recently programmed
transmitter(s).
•Alltransmittersmustbe programmed during the same programming
cycle. A transmitter that is not programmed within the same
programming cycle will be erased and will no longer operate your
vehicle’s locks. If this occurs, you will have to reprogram all the
transmitters again, as you cannot just “add” a transmitter.

Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. Contact your authorized dealer or a
reliable trailer dealer as soon as possible if you require assistance.
Hitches
Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load
carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that
10–15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.
Safety chains
Always connect the trailer’s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers
of the vehicle hitch. To connect the trailer’s safety chains, cross the
chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners.
If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions that the rental agency
gives to you.
Do not attach safety chains to the bumper.
Trailer brakes
Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are
safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer’s
specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and Federal
regulations.
WARNING:Do not connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system
directly to your vehicle’s brake system. Your vehicle may not
have enough braking power and your chances of having a collision
greatly increase.
The braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the
GVWR not GCWR.
Trailer lamps
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Contact
your authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions
and equipment for hooking up trailer lamps.
