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 recom-
mended 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 to an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds,the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds.
This allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel
economy.
•
Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional
transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is “shifting.” These charac-
teristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS
Air Recirculation
• Use Recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the Recirculation button off.
• Recirculation is allowed in floor mode and defrost/floor (mix mode) for approxi- mately five minutes.
Heated Mirrors
• The mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever youturn on the rear window defroster.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
•Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin program-
ming.
•For 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.
• Erase all channels before you begin programming. To erase the channels, place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position, then press and hold the two outside
HomeLink
®buttons (I and III) for up 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink
®for
the first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
•
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515
or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button
located where the hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is
NOT the button that is normally used to open and close the door. The name and
color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
• Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink
®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
®button you want to program
and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink
®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the
indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
•
At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly press and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has
been pressed.
• Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink
®button twice
(holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and
activates, programming is complete.

NOTE:
Vehicles equipped withmanual transmissionsmay be recreationally towed (flat towed)
at any legal highway speed, for any distance, if themanual transmissionis in NEUTRAL
and the ignition key is in the ACC position.
CAUTION!
• Do not flat tow any vehicle equipped with a automatic transmission. Damage to the drivetrain will result. If these vehicles require towing, make sure all drive
wheels are off the ground.
•
Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission
or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational
towing.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over andstop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for service if
your vehicle overheats.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction orthe parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied,
it indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
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 a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate 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 immediately.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the chargingsystem light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with
the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
