ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmissionand axle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles
(kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and
not interpreted as an indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage
may result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS LEVER
Headlights/Parking Lights
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent for parking lightsand to the
second detent for headlights.
Instrument Panel Dimmer
• Rotate the center portion of the lever to the extreme bottom position to fully dim the instrument panel lights and prevent the interior lights from illuminating when a
door is opened.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Cancel
• Pull the lever toward you, push the clutch pedal or apply the brakes to cancel theset speed and maintain the set speed in memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than
you want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the
Electronic Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions,
and you could lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
AUTOSTICK®
• AutoStick®is a driver-interactive transmission that offers six manual ratio changes
to provide you with more control. The system is activated in the DRIVE position by
moving the shift lever side-to-side.
• Moving the shift lever to the right (+) side will activate AutoStick
®and shift up to
the next higher manual ratio, unless you are already operating in or near Overdrive,
in which case sixth gear ratio will be selected. The transmission will automatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is reached while Autostick
®is engaged.
• Moving the shift lever to the left (-) will activate AutoStick
®and shift to the next
lower manual ratio. If a downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift
will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
NOTE: AutoStick
®is not functional until the CVT warms up in cold weather.
AutoStick® is deactivated:
• By holding the shift lever to (+) momentarily.
• When the shift lever is shifted out of DRIVE.
• When in sixth position, touching the shift lever to the right.
• When heavy Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) application is detected.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for complete details.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(HomeLink
®)
• HomeLink®replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such
as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The
HomeLink
®unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink
®buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor
designate the three different HomeLink®channels.
• The HomeLink
®indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
• Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin
programming.
• For more efficient programming and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal it is
recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device that is being programmed to
the HomeLink
®system.
