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
contributes 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 recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilome-
ters) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication to 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 LEVER
Headlights/Parking Lights/Automatic Headlights
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent for parking lights , the second
detent for headlights , and the third detent for AUTO.
• When set to AUTO, the system automatically turns the headlights on or off based
on ambient light levels.OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

EVIC Main Menu • To step to each main menu feature press and release the MENU button once for
each step. A step from the last item in the list will cause the first item in the
feature list to be displayed. The following features are in the Main menu:
• Compass, Outside Temperature, and ECO display
• Digital Speedometer
• Average Fuel Economy
• Distance to Empty
• Elapsed Time
• Vehicle Information
• Coolant Temp
• Oil Pressure
• Transmission Temp
• Oil Life Remaining (Automatic Oil Change Indicator)
• EVIC Units Selection
• System Status
• Personal Settings
• Tire PSI
Compass Calibration • This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC
will display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
• You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns
(in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message
displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.
ECO • The ECO message will appear in your EVIC display whenever you are driving in a
fuel efficient manner.
• This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving in a fuel efficient manner,
and it can be used to modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

OIL CHANGE EVIC INDICATOR Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as "Change Oil Soon" and "Oil Change Needed")
appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
HOTOIL – Transmission Temperature Warning Message • The HOTOIL cluster message will appear in the odometer accompanied with a
chime to indicate that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might
occur with severe usage such as trailer towing.
• It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip condition,
such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow plowing, off-road operation).
• If this HOTOIL message turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or
faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns off.
CAUTION!Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL Warning message
illuminated will eventually cause severe transmission damage and transmission
failure.
WARNING!Continued operation with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL Warning mes-
sage illuminated could cause the fluid to boil over, come into contact with the hot
engine or exhaust components causing a fire that may result in personal injury.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
100
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.
E85 FLEXIBLE FUEL — 3.6L ENGINE ONLY Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler door label or a yellow gas cap can operate
on E-85.
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. 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 “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).MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
115
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.
On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the instrument cluster
odometer and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
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)/Oil Change Re-
quired” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” or under “Instrument Cluster
Description/Odometer/Trip Odometer” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km)
or twelve months, whichever comes first.
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, power
steering and automatic transmission, and fill as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals .
Refer to the maintenance schedules on the following page for the required mainte-
nance intervals. At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:
•
Change oil and filter
• Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil
indicator system turns on.
•
Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
•
Inspect automatic transmission fluid if equipped with dipstick
•
Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake
•
Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
•
Inspect exhaust system
•
Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions
•
Inspect all door latches for presence of grease, reapply if necessary.MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
