PERFORMANCE/ACR

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and not require towing.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift tran smission intoNEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.
• In city traffic — while moving, shift into the highest gear possible to reduce engine RPM.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not re turn to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could dama ge your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on
HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, t urn the engine off immediately and call for
service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to co ol. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use andshould be handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may cause
permanent damage to the kit.
• Immediately after injecting sealant and infl ating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 mi (8 km)
or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire. Do not
exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).
• Pull over and repeat Preparations for Jacking or Tire Repair.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Air Mode position
.
• Connect the Black Air Pump Hose to the valve stem.
• Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge.
NOTE: If tire pressure is less than 19 psi, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt
to drive the vehicle fur ther. Call forassistance.
• If the tire pressure is 19 psi or higher, press the Power button
and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver's
side door opening.
• Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem and then reinstall the valve stem cap.
• Place the TIREFIT kit in its proper storage area in the vehicle.
• Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity at an authorized service center.
NOTE: When having the tire serviced, advise the authorized dealer or service center
that the tire has been sealed using the TIREFIT service kit.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.
WARNING!
Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:
• If the cut or puncture in the tire tread is approximately 0.24 in (6 mm) or larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage.
• If the tire has any damage from driv ing with extremely low tire pressure.
• If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
• If the wheel has any damage.
• If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of anEDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obst acle, data that willassist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger s afety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better u nderstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and
inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD f or more information regarding tire
warnings and instructions.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Ov erloading can causetire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended
load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation r educes 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 ti res can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

Using Lift Kits
• Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tirecombinations can cause instability or
loss of control. When changing tire
sizes, always consult an installer for
optimum rim width and carefully
check vehicle/tire clearances.
Check Your Tires For Damage
• Frequent (at least monthly) inspectionof your tires for signs of damage,
uneven tread wear and their general
condition is important for safety.
Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots,
bulges or air loss always require tire
removal and expert inspection.
Tire Service Life
• The service life of a tire is dependentupon varying factors including, but
not limited to, your driving style, tire
pressure and distance driven.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be
replaced after six ye ars, regardless of
the remaining tread. Failure to follow
this warning can result in sudden tire
failure. You could lose control and
have an accident resulting in serious
injury or death.
• Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to the
light as possible.
• Protect tires from contact with oil, grease, and gasoline.
