Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice:The vehicle does not need an elaboratebreak-in. But it will perform better in the long runif you follow these guidelines:
.Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less
for the first 500 miles (805 km).
.Do not drive at any one constant speed, fast
or slow, for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Do not make full-throttle starts. Avoid
downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle.
.Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
the new brake linings are not yet broken in.
Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every time
you get new brake linings.
.Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See
Towing a Traileron page 6!42for the trailer
towing capabilities of the vehicle and more
information.
Following break!in, engine speed and load can begradually increased.

TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code.Any time you rotate your vehicle's tires or replace oneor more of the TPMS sensors, the identification codeswill need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positionsin the following order: driver side front tire, passengerside front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driverside rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See yourdealer/retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire's airpressure. If increasing the tire's air pressure, do notexceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on thetire's sidewall.
To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can use thepointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressuregage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match the first tire/wheelposition, and five minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than two minutes, tomatch the first tire and wheel, or more than five minutesto match all four tire and wheel positions the matchingprocess stops and you need to start over.
The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with theengine off.
3. PressQandKon the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter at the same time forapproximately five seconds. The horn sounds twiceto signal the receiver is in relearn mode and TIRELEARNING ACTIVE message displays on the DICscreen.
4. Start with the driver side front tire.
