Cleaning The ParkSense® Sensors
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), clean the ParkSense®sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft
cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise,
you could damage the sensors.
NOTE:
When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean off
the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is
put into REVERSE. The ParkView®Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on
the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.

POWER OUTLETS
The front power outlet is located inside the center storage bin of the instrument
panel. Push inward on the storage lid to open the compartment and gain access to
this power outlet.
A second front power outlet is located
inside the center console.
The rear power outlet is located in the
right rear cargo area.
The power outlets are labeled with either
a “key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate
how the outlet is powered. Power outlets
labeled with a “key” are powered when
the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or
ACC position, while the outlets labeled
with a “battery” are connected directly to
the battery and powered at all times.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need
to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now
This message indicates regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction.
The Powertrain control Module (PCM) will register a fault code and the instrument
panel will display the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon
with continued operation.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer
The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to
the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service is
not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. Have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur with the
exhaust filter full.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active
component, UREA – is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF is a
liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to
convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system in order to meet
the very stringent diesel emissions standards required by the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the first and only technology in
decades to be as good for the environment as it is good for business and vehicle
performance.
The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen emitted
from engines) that are harmful to our health and the environment to an almost
near-zero level. Small quantities of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) are injected into the
exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized, convert smog-forming
nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O), two
natural components of the air we breathe. You can operate with the comfort that your
vehicle is contributing to a cleaner, healthier world environment for this and
generations to come.

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (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 (antifreeze). 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 — GASOLINE ENGINE
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. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures,
and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “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 “Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this
guide or “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.

SRT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times
or mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle
performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles
in severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in
for scheduled maintenance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles, “Oil Change
Required” will be displayed in the EVIC and a single chime will sound, indicating that
an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
• The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil
change. Change your vehicle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil
change, even if the oil change indicator message is NOT illuminated.
•
Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time.
•Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km)
or six months, whichever comes first.
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 “Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this
guide or “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.

Engine Oil Filter Replacement
Residual oil in the housing may spill from the housing when the new filter is installed if
the residual oil is not either removed from the housing or enough time has not elapsed
to allow the oil to drain back into the engine. When servicing the oil filter on this engine,
carefully remove the filter and use a suction gun to remove any residual oil left in the
housing or wait about 30 minutes for the oil to drain back into the engine.
