WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., mayilluminate 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.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend
you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible if this
occurs.
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Brake Assist
System (BAS) Warning Light
• If the ESP/BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected.

drive to the nearest Service Center as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop thevehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes
when this light turns on.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle theignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
- Airbag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommendyou drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as
possible.
Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as Check Gascap) appears, tighten the gas cap until a“clicking” sound is heard.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your authorized dealer.
Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as Oil Change Required) appears and a single chimesounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by takingthe appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
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.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of thesill flange.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and
cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if equipped) and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the
compact spare. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.
• Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper locations.
NOTE: Tire should be stowed with the “beauty” side up. Storing the tire upside down may
result in scratching or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the tire until you
hear the winch “ratchet” three times.

Preparations for Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment, behind theleft headlight assembly.
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 injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
• If using a another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
• Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the discharged
vehicle.
• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the
booster battery.
• Connect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery.

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 years, 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.
