ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled dampening system. Thissystem reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering,
acceleration and braking. There are three modes of operation:
Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicle ignition is first turned on. Auto mode will give asporty, but comfortable ride. Within this mode, the suspension will adapt to the vehicle
inputs, including road surfaces, vehicle speed, steering inputs, braking, and accelera-
tion.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto” mode, the transmission will automatically shift up if maximum engine speed is reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for im- proved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
Sport ModeSPORT
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press the SPORT button on the center console). This mode will set suspension for maximum
performance handling and is intended for spirited driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a “ SPORT” message will display in the in-
strument cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
Track Mode (Automatic Transmission Only)
• This mode is selected when the SPORT button is pushed a second time. This mode combines maximum performance suspension and aggressive transmission calibration.
• When Track mode is enabled and the transmission is in AutoStick® the transmission will not automatically upshift at maximum engine speed. It will remain in gear until the driver
selects an upshift. When slowing to a stop it will automatically down shift to prevent
engine lugging.
• When Track mode is enabled a “Track” message will display in the instrument cluster.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop 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.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the
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.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
This light indicates the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is off.
– Sport Shifting
This light will illuminate whenSPORT MODEis selected. This mode provides performance
based transmission shifting depending on the driver requested throttle position.

TIREFIT Usage Precautions
• Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expiration date(printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system. Refer to “Sealing
a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.”
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use. After each use, always replace these components immediately at an authorized dealer.
• When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will remove the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel components. Once the sealant dries, it can
easily be peeled off and properly discarded.
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of debris before connecting the TIREFIT kit.
• You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes with two needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of the air pump)
for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items. However, use only the Air Pump
Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode when inflating such
items to avoid injecting sealant into them. The TIREFIT Sealant is only intended to seal
punctures less than 1/4” (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the ground. This will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve stem and
keep the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground. This will provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the air pump. Move the
vehicle as necessary to place the valve stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4. Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
3. Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
6. Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
