Service Active Hood System
If the ORC has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
for versions/markets, where pro-
vided. A single chime will sound if the
Air Bag Warning Light comes on
again after initial startup. It also in-
cludes diagnostics that will illuminate
the Air Bag Warning Light if a mal-
function is noted that could affect the
Active Hood system. The diagnostics
also record the nature of the malfunc-
tion. If the Air Bag Warning Light is
illuminated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced by
an authorized dealer. The hood hinges
must be serviced and the actuator as-
semblies replaced to restore system
functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.NOTE: After any Active Hood
deployment, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CAUTION!To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.

In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
NOTE:
In cases where the instru-
ment cluster message indicates the
transmission may not re-engage af-
ter engine shutdown, perform this
procedure only in a desired loca-
tion (preferably, at your authorized
dealer).
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK,
if possible.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected,
the transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE: Even if the transmission
can be reset, we recommend that
you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible conve-
nience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to deter-
mine if the problem could recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
FIVE-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION –
3.0L DIESEL ENGINE
The shift lever position display (lo-
cated in the instrument cluster) indi-
cates the transmission gear range. You
must press the brake pedal to move
the shift lever out of PARK (refer to
“Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System” in this section). To drive,
move the shift lever from PARK or
NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
The electronically-controlled trans-
mission provides a precise shift sched-
ule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few
shifts on a new vehicle may be some-
what abrupt. This is a normal condi-
tion, and precision shifts will develop
within a few hundred kilometers.
Only shifting from DRIVE to PARK or
REVERSE when the accelerator
pedal is released and the vehicle is
stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting be-
tween these gears.
The transmission shift lever has only
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and
DRIVE shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the “AutoStick®”
shift control (for versions/markets,
where provided; refer to
“AutoStick®” in this section). Mov-
ing the shift lever to the left or right
(-/+) while in the DRIVE position, or
tapping one of the steering wheel-
mounted shift paddles (-/+) (for
versions/markets, where provided),
will manually select the transmission
gear, and will display that gear in the
instrument cluster as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

DRIVE
This range should be used for most
city and highway driving. It provides
the smoothest upshifts and down-
shifts, and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically upshifts
through underdrive first, second, and
third gears, direct fourth gear and
overdrive fifth gear. The DRIVE posi-
tion provides optimum driving char-
acteristics under all normal operating
conditions.When frequent transmission shifting
occurs (such as when operating the ve-
hicle under heavy loading conditions,
in hilly terrain, traveling into strong
head winds, or while towing heavy
trailers), use the “AutoStick®” shift
control (for versions/markets, where
provided; refer to “AutoStick®” in this
section) to select a lower gear. Under
these conditions, using a lower gear
will improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat buildup.
Transmission Limp Home ModeTransmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal conditions.
If a condition is detected that could
result in transmission damage, Trans-
mission Limp Home Mode is activated.
In this mode, the transmission remains
in the current gear until the vehicle is
brought to a stop. After the vehicle has
stopped, the transmission will remain
in second gear regardless of which for-
ward gear is selected. PARK, RE-
VERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue
to operate. The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode allows the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for
service without damaging the trans-
mission.In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4.
Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6.
Shift into the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal op-
eration.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission
can be reset, we recommend that
you visit your authorized dealer at
your earliest possible convenience.
Your authorized dealer has diag-
nostic equipment to determine if
the problem could recur. If the
transmission cannot be reset, au-
thorized dealer service is required.
Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes
an electronically controlled Overdrive
(fifth gear). The transmission will au-
tomatically shift into Overdrive if the
following conditions are present:
 the shift lever is in the DRIVE po- sition,
 vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and
 the driver is not heavily pressing the accelerator.

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper trans-
mission fluid to ensure optimum
transmission performance and life.
Use only the manufacturer’s recom-
mended transmission fluid. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for fluid specifications. It is important
to maintain the transmission fluid at
the correct level using the recom-
mended fluid. No chemical flushes
should be used in any transmission;
only the approved lubricant should be
used.CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other
than the manufacturer’s recom-
mended fluid may cause deteriora-
tion in transmission shift quality
and/or torque converter shudder,
and will require more frequent fluid
and filter changes. Refer to “Fluids,(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for
fluid specifications.
Special Additives
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
is an engineered product and its per-
formance may be impaired by supple-
mental additives. Therefore, do not
add any fluid additives to the trans-
mission. The only exception to this
policy is the use of special dyes for
diagnosing fluid leaks. Avoid using
transmission sealers as they may ad-
versely affect seals.CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended fluid may cause deteriora-
tion in transmission shift quality
and/or torque converter shudder.
Using a transmission fluid other
than that recommended by the
manufacturer, and will require
more frequent fluid and filter
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)changes. Refer to “Fluids, Lubri-
cants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for
further fluid specification.If a transmission fluid leak occurs,
visit your authorized dealer imme-
diately. Severe transmission dam-
age may occur. Your authorized
dealer has the proper tools to ad-
just the fluid level accurately.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory
and does not require adjustment un-
der normal operating conditions.
Routine fluid level checks are not re-
quired, therefore the transmission has
no dipstick. Your authorized dealer
can check your transmission fluid
level using special service tools.
If you notice fluid leakage or trans-
mission malfunction, visit your au-
thorized dealer immediately to have
the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe
transmission damage.
