INTERVENTION
REGENERATION
STRATEGY – 2.8L DIESEL
ENGINE
This vehicle is equipped with a state-
of-the-art engine and exhaust system
containing a diesel particulate filter.
The engine and exhaust after-
treatment system work together to
meet the Emission standards. The
system manages engine combustion to
allow the exhaust system’s catalyst to
trap and burn Particulate Matter
(PM) pollutants with no input or in-
teraction on your part.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system in-
spected each time the vehicle is raised
for lubrication or oil change. Replace
as required.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO) which is colorless and odorless.
Breathing it can make you uncon-
scious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing CO, refer to
“Safety Tips/Exhaust Gas” in
“Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.
CAUTION!
The catalytic converter requires the
use of unleaded fuel only. Leaded
gasoline will destroy the effective-
ness of the catalyst as an emissions
control device and may seriously re-
duce engine performance and cause
serious damage to the engine.
Under normal operating conditions,
the catalytic converter will not require
maintenance. However, it is impor-
tant to keep the engine properly tuned
to assure proper catalyst operation
and prevent possible catalyst damage.CAUTION!
Damage to the catalytic converter
can result if your vehicle is not kept
in proper operating condition. In the
event of engine malfunction, par-
ticularly involving engine misfire or
other apparent loss of performance,
have your vehicle serviced promptly.
Continued operation of your vehicle
with a severe malfunction could
cause the converter to overheat, re-
sulting in possible damage to the
converter and the vehicle.

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome plated wheels,
should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water to prevent corro-
sion.CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do
not use oven cleaner. These products
may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Avoid automatic car washes
that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Use only
the approved wheel cleaners or
equivalent.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel. Blot any remaining stain with a
clean, damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue.
For grease stains, apply a high quality cleaner to a clean, damp
cloth and remove the stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap
residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Instrument Panel Surfaces
The instrument panel cover has a low
glare surface, which minimizes reflec-
tions in the windshield. Do not use
protectants or other products which
may cause undesirable reflections.
Use soap and warm water to restore
the low glare surface. Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with
any liquid. Please do not use polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to
clean your leather upholstery. Appli-
cation of a leather conditioner is not
required to maintain the original con-
dition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respira-
tory harm.
302
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lightweight and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass
headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other
aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis with any commer-
cial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters or the right rear quarter
window equipped with the radio an-tenna. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch
the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the seat
belts with chemical solvents or abra-
sive cleaners. This will weaken the
fabric. Sun damage can also weaken
the fabric.
If the seat belts need cleaning, use a
mild soap solution or lukewarm wa-
ter. Do not remove the belts from the
car to wash them.
Replace the seat belts if they appear
frayed or worn, or if the buckles do
not work properly.
CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
CUPHOLDERS
Removal
Pull the flexible liner from the cup-
holder drawer starting at one edge to
ease removal.
Cleaning
The liner is top shelf dishwasher safe,
or you may follow the cleaning proce-
dure below.
Soak the liner in a mixture of medium
hot tap water and one teaspoon of
mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for
approximately 30 minutes. After
30 minutes, pull the liner from the
water and dip it back into the water
about six times. This will loosen any
remaining debris. Rinse the liner thor-
oughly under warm running water.

The heated mirrors, lower instrument
panel power outlet and removable
floor console, when in the front posi-
tion are fused with self-resetting fuses
that are only serviceable by an autho-
rized dealer. The power seats are
fused by a 30 Amp circuit breaker
located under the driver's seat. The
power windows are fused by a
25 Amp circuit breaker located under
the instrument panel near the steering
column. If you experience temporary or permanent loss of these systems,
see your authorized dealer for service.
VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dor-
mant for more than 21 days, you may
want to take steps to protect your
battery. You may do the following:
Remove the 20 Amp mini-fuse in
the Totally Integrated Power Mod-
ule (TIPM) labeled Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD). Or, disconnect the negative cable
from the battery.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service for two weeks
or more, run the air conditioning
system at idle for about five min-
utes in the fresh air and high blower
setting. This will ensure adequate
system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
