ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
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 contrib-
utes 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 recommended 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 of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist
•Tap the lever up or down once and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash three
times to indicate a lane change and auto-
matically turn off.
Headlights/Parking Lights
•Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent for parking lights and headlight
operation.
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for the headlights to operate.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Generic Warning Light
The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if any of the following conditions occur: Oil
Change Request, Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, External Light Failure, Fuel Cut-Off
Intervention, Fuel Cut-Off Not Available, Parking Sensor Failure, DST System Failure.
- Power Steering System Warning
This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Electric Power Steering
System).When the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, the warning light will illu-
minate momentarily.If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF position
and back to ON/RUN.If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized dealer.
If the warning light switches on while driving you may not have steering assistance.
Although it will still be possible to steer the car, the effort needed to operate the
steering wheel could be increased: contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
- EURO Twin Clutch Transmission — If Equipped
•This light will illuminate when there is an EURO Twin Clutch Transmission fault.
•Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
- 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.

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 re-
move 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 position-
ing 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.

CAUTION!
•Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Tech-
nology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may
decrease corrosion protection.Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant
is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology
(HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (anti-
freeze).If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling
system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and
refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS-12106), by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
•This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze).Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is
not recommended.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system.The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster.This means that service is required for your vehicle.Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed.Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment.This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
•Check engine oil level
•Check windshield washer fluid level
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder reservoir, and
transmission as needed
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights
