WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area.
Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or
others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmittersaway fromchildren. Operation of the
Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could
cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
THEFT ALARM
To A r m
• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the
door is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during
a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not
wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used
together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop
you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear
your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays,
or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain
(transmission and 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.
