LW, or to CD mode, depending on
which radio is in the vehicle.
The left-hand rocker switch has a
pushbutton in the center. The func-
tion of the left-hand switch is differ-
ent, depending on which mode you
are in.
The following describes the left-hand
rocker switch operation in each mode.
Radio Operation
Pressing the top of the switch will
SEEK up for the next listenable sta-
tion, and pressing the bottom of the
switch will SEEK down for the next
listenable station.
The button located in the center of the
left-hand switch will tune to the next
preset station that you have pro-
grammed in the radio preset pushbut-
ton.
CD Player
Pressing the top of the switch once
will go to the next track on the CD.
Pressing the bottom of the switch once
will go to the beginning of the current
track, or to the beginning of the pre-vious track if it is within one second
after the current track begins to play.
If you press the switch up or down
twice it plays the second track; three
times, it will play the third, etc.
The button in the center of the left-
hand switch has no function in this
mode.
CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the sur-
face with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in
playing a particular disc, it may be
damaged (i.e., scratched, reflective
coating removed, a hair, moisture
or dew on the disc) oversized, or
have protection encoding. Try a
known good disc before consider-
ing disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.

Floor ModeAir comes from the floor outlets.
SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging. VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
OPERATING TIPS
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement in-
structions.220

CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or
tires, observe the following precau-
tions:
 Use chains on P225/65R17 tiresonly.
 Because of restricted chain clear-
ance between tires and other sus-
pension components, it is impor-
tant that only chains in good
condition are used. Broken chains
can cause serious damage. Stop
the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate chain
breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further
use.
 Do not exceed 70 km/h.
 Drive cautiously and avoid severe
turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.
 Install chains on the front wheels
as tightly as possible and then re-
tighten after driving about
0.8 km.
 Do not drive for prolonged periods
of time on dry pavement.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Observe the tire chain manufac-
tur er's instructions on the method
of installation, operating speed,
and conditions for use. Always use
the lower suggested operating
speed of the chain manufacturer,
if different from the speed r ecom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer.
Always use the lower suggested oper-
ating speed if the chain manufacturer
and vehicle manufacturer suggest dif-
ferent maximum speeds. This notice
applies to all chain traction devices,
including link and cable (radial)
chains.
TIRE ROTATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of
vehicles operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these rea-
sons, they wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by
timely rotation of tires. The benefits
of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as
those on all season type tires. Rotation
will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow and wet traction lev-
els, and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
The reasons for any rapid or unusual
wear should be corrected prior to ro-
tation being performed.
TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR SYSTEM
(TPMS)
The TPMS will warn the driver of a
low tire pressure based on the cold
inflation tire pressure requirements
found on the tire placard located on
the
driver's-side B-pillar.
The tire pressure will vary with tem-
perature by about 0.069 BAR for ev-
ery 6.5°C. This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the
tire pressure will decrease. Tire pres-
sure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after a
vehicle has not been driven for more
250

than three hours - and in outside am-
bient temperature.Refer to “Tires –
General Information” in “Starting
and Operating” for information on
how to properly inflate the vehi-
cle’s tires. The tire pressure will also
increase as the vehicle is driven - this
is normal and there should be no ad-
justment for this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a
low tire pressure if the tire pressure
falls below the low pressure warning
threshold for any reason, including
low temperature effects, or natural air
pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the
driver of low tire pressure as long as
the condition exists, and will not turn
off until the tire pressure is at or above
recommended cold tire placard pres-
sure. Once the low tire pressure warn-
ing has been illuminated, the tire
pressure must be increased to the rec-
ommended cold tire placard pressure
in order for the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” to be turned off.
The system will automatically update
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will extinguish once the updated tire pressures have been
received. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above
24 km/h to receive this information.
For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more
than three hours) tire pressure of 2.41
BAR. If the ambient temperature is
20°C and the measured tire pressure
is 2.07 BAR, a temperature drop to
­7°C will decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 1.79 BAR. This tire
pressure is sufficiently low enough to
turn on the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle
may cause the tire pressure to rise to
approximately 2.07 BAR, but the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will still be on. In this situa-
tion, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will turn off only after
the tires have been inflated to the
vehicle’s recommended cold tire pres-
sure value.
CAUTION!
 The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Unde-
sirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use
aftermarket sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped
with a TPMS, as damage to the
sensors may result.
 After inspecting or adjusting the
tire pressure always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could dam-
age the TPMS sensor.
NOTE:
 The TPMS is not intended to re- place normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or con-
dition.
251

 The TPMS should not be used asa tire pressure gauge while ad-
justing your tire pressure.
 Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the ve-
hicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
 The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure,
using an accurate tire pressure
gage, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light.”
 Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure, and the
TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
BASE SYSTEM
The TPMS uses wireless technology
with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver
Module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you
to check the tire pressure in all of
your tires regularly and to main-
tain the proper pressure.
The Basic TPMS consists of the fol-
lowing components:
 Receiver Module
 Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sen-
sors
 TPMS Telltale Warning Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low
Tire Pressure Warnings The “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will
illuminate in the instru-
ment cluster, a "TIRE LOW
PRESSURE" message will display in
the instrument cluster, and an audible
chime will be activated when one or
more of the four active road tire pres-
sures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of each tire on
your vehicle, and inflate each tire to
the vehicle's recommended cold tire
pressure value (located on the placard
on the driver's-side B-Pillar). The
system will automatically update and
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will extinguish once the up-
dated tire pressures have been re-
ceived.
NOTE:
The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h
to receive this information.
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will flash on and off for
75 seconds, and remain on solid when
a system fault is detected. The system
fault will also sound a chime. If the
ignition switch is cycled, this se-
quence will repeat, providing the sys-
tem fault still exists. The “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
turn off when the fault condition no
longer exists. A system fault can occur
with any of the following scenarios:252

MATERIALS ADDED TO
FUEL
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasolines
that contain detergents, corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasolines that have these addi-
tives will help improve fuel economy,
reduce emissions, and maintain ve-
hicle performance.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system
cleaning agents should be avoided.
Many of these materials intended for
gum and varnish removal may con-
tain active solvents or similar ingredi-
ents. These can harm fuel system gas-
ket and diaphragm materials.WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust
gases is deadly. Follow the precau-
tions below to prevent carbon mon-
oxide poisoning:(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a color-
less and odorless gas which can
kill. Never run the engine in a
closed area, such as a garage, and
never sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running for an ex-
tended period. If the vehicle is
stopped in an open area with the
engine running for more than a
short period, adjust the ventila-
tion system to force fresh, outside
air into the vehicle.
 Guard against carbon monoxide
with proper maintenance. Have
the exhaust system inspected ev-
ery time the vehicle is raised.
Have any abnormal conditions re-
paired promptly. Until repaired,
drive with all side windows fully
open.
 Keep the liftgate closed when
driving your vehicle to prevent
carbon monoxide and other poi-
sonous exhaust gases from enter-
ing the vehicle. FUEL REQUIREMENTS
— DIESEL ENGINE
Use Premium Quality Diesel fuels
with a Cetane rating of 50 or higher,
and meeting the EN590 standard are
highly recommended. See your autho-
rized dealer for further information
regarding fuels available in your area.
ADDING FUEL
LOCKING FUEL FILLER
CAP (GAS CAP) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The locking fuel filler cap is located
behind the fuel filler door, on the left
side of the vehicle. If the cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap
has been designed for use with this
vehicle.
NOTE:
The driver's side sliding door can-
not be opened while the fuel door
is open. This feature operates only
when the sliding door is fully
closed prior to opening the fuel
door.

TOWING TIPS
Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, select a lower
gear range using the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) shift control. NOTE:
Using a lower gear range while op-
erating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve
performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This
action will also provide better en-
gine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and
filter should be changed if you REGU-
LARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
 Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
 When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
 Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
