CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle.
If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the
engine off immediately and call an
authorized studio for service.WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dan-
gerous. 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. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”. Fol-
low the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.21. AWD (All Wheel Drive)
Indicator (for versions/ markets,
where provided)
The AWD indicator will illuminate
when All Wheel Drive (AWD) is
activated.

Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using
ENGINE START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you
have followed the “Normal Starting”
or “Extreme Cold Weather" proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Press the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it.
3. Press and release the ENGINE
START/STOP button once.
The starter motor will engage auto-
matically, run for 10 seconds, and
then disengage. Once this occurs, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and the
brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the “Normal Starting”
procedure.
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automati-
cally and it will decrease as the engine
warms up.NORMAL STARTING –
DIESEL ENGINE
Observe the following when the en-
gine is operating.
 All message center lights are off.
 Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is off.
 Low Oil Pressure Light is off.
Cold Weather Precautions
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of parrafin clots and could
clog the diesel filter. In order to avoid
these problems, different types of die-
sel fuel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type
and arctic type (cold, mountainous
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
outside temperature, it is advisable to
mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive
in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the fuel. When using or parking the vehicle for
a long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking
power as the battery temperature de-
creases to ­18°C. For the same de-
crease in temperature, the engine re-
quires twice as much power to crank
at the same RPM. The use of battery
blankets will greatly increase starting
capability at low temperatures.
Engine Starting Procedure
WARNING!NEVER pour fuel or other flam-
mable liquid into the air inlet open-
ing in an attempt to start the vehicle.
This could result in a flash fire caus-
ing serious personal injury.1. The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position before
you can start the engine.

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for
the tire size equipped on your ve-
hicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result
when using replacement equip-
ment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage.
Do not use aftermarket tire seal-
ants or balance beads if your ve-
hicle is equipped with a TPMS, as
damage to the sensors may result. After inspecting or adjusting thetire pressure, always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could dam-
age the TPM sensor. NOTE:

The TPMS is not intended to re-
place normal tire care and main-
tenance or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition. The TPMS should not be used as
a 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 fail-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling 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 us-
ing an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPM Telltale
Light.Seasonal temperature changes
will affect tire pressure, and the
TPMS will monitor the actual tire
pressure in the tire.
PREMIUM SYSTEM
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses wireless technology with
wheel rim mounted electronic sensors
to monitor tire pressure levels. Sen-
sors mounted to each wheel as part of
the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE: It is particularly impor-
tant for you to check the tire pres-
sure in all of the tires on your ve-
hicle monthly and to maintain the
proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
 Receiver module,
 Four TPM sensors,
 Various TPMS messages, which display in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC), and
 TPM Telltale Light

ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release
switch (located in the driver's door
map pocket).
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap-
per door inside the pipe seals the sys-
tem.4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe – the nozzle opens and
holds the flapper door while refueling.
NOTE: Only the correct size
nozzle opens the latches allowing
the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when
the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close
the fuel door.
NOTE: A funnel is provided (lo-
cated in the trunk in the spare tire
area) to open the flapper door to
allow for emergency refueling with
a gas can.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not “top off” the fuel tank
after filling.WARNING!
 Never have any smoking materi-
als lit in or near the vehicle when
the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.
 Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of
most state and federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the “Mal-
function Indicator Light” to turn
on.
 A fire may result if gasoline is
pumped into a portable container
that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground
while filling.

In this section you will find safety tips
and information on limits to the type
of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle. Before towing a trailer,
carefully review this information to
tow your load as efficiently and safely
as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, fol-
low the requirements and recommen-
dations in this manual concerning
vehicles used for trailer towing.
COMMON TOWING
DEFINITIONS
The following trailer towing related
definitions will assist you in under-
standing the following information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, cargo and tongue
weight. The total load must be limited
so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle
Certification Label” in “Starting and
Operating” for further information.Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer
plus the weight of all cargo, consum-
ables and equipment (permanent or
temporary) loaded in or on the trailer
in its "loaded and ready for opera-
tion" condition. The recommended
way to measure GTW is to put your
fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
The entire weight of the trailer must
be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating
(GCWR)
The GCWR is the total permissible
weight of your vehicle and trailer
when weighed in combination.
NOTE:
The GCWR rating in-
cludes a 68 kg allowance for the
presence of a driver.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity
of the front and rear axles. Distribute
the load over the front and rear axles
evenly. Make sure that you do not
exceed either front or rear GAWR.
