WARNING!(Continued)
Overfilling the brake fluid reser-voir can result in spilling brake
fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage
painted and vinyl surfaces, care
should be taken to avoid its con-
tact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate the brake
fluid. Brake seal components
could be damaged, causing par-
tial or complete brake failure.
This could result in an accident.
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 specified
transmission fluid. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants and Genuine Parts” in this
section for fluid specifications. It is
important to maintain the transmis-
sion fluid at the correct level using the recommended fluid. No chemical
flushes should be used in any trans-
mission; 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,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
this section for fluid specifications.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recom-
mends against using any special addi-
tives in the transmission.
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!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can
damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
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
filler tube is capped and no dipstick is
provided. Your authorized dealer can
check your transmission fluid level
using a special service dipstick. If you
notice fluid leakage or transmission
malfunction, visit your authorized
dealer immediately to have the trans-
mission fluid level checked. Operating

For tough stains, apply a mild soapsolution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue.
For grease stains, apply a high quality cleaner to a clean, damp
cloth and remove the stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap
residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Instrument Panel Surfaces
The instrument panel cover has a low
glare surface, which minimizes reflec-
tions in the windshield. Do not use
protectants or other products which
may cause undesirable reflections.
Use soap and warm water to restore
the low glare surface.
Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with
any liquid. Please do not use polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to
clean your leather upholstery. Appli-
cation of a leather conditioner is not
required to maintain the original con-
dition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respi-
ratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlights and fog lights that are
lighter and less susceptible to stone
breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other
aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis with any commer-
cial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters or the right rear quarter
window equipped with the radio an-
tenna. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instrument that may scratch
the elements.
323
When cleaning the rear view mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts
with chemical solvents or abrasive
cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fab-
ric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild
soap solution or lukewarm water. Donot remove the belts from the car to
wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed
or worn or if the buckles do not work
properly.
CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
CUPHOLDERS
Removal
Pull the flexible liner from the cup-
holder drawer starting at one edge to
ease removal.
Cleaning
The liner is top shelf dishwasher safe,
or you may follow the cleaning proce-
dure below.
Soak the liner in a mixture of medium
hot tap water and one teaspoon of
mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for
approximately 30 minutes. After 30
minutes, pull the liner from the water
and dip it back into the water about
six times. This will loosen any remain-
ing debris. Rinse the liner thoroughly
under warm running water. Shake theexcess water from the liner and dry
the outer surfaces with a clean soft
cloth.
Installation
Place the liner into the cupholder
drawer and press the liner into place
so that the retention tabs seat into the
corresponding openings in the
drawer.FUSES
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, al-
ways use an appropriate replace-
ment fuse with the same amp rat-
ing as the original fuse. Never
replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace
a blown fuse with metal wires or
any other material. Failure to use
proper fuses may result in serious
personal injury, fire and/or prop-
erty damage.

Dealership. Proper operation and
orientation of the external lights are
essential for driving safety and
complying with the law.
HIGH INTENSITY
DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS
(HID) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The headlamps are a type of high
voltage discharge tube. High voltage
can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off and the key re-
moved.Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp
bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb
fails, take your vehicle to an au-
thorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at
the bulb sockets of High Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps when
the headlamp switch is turned ON.
It may cause serious electrical
shock or electrocution if not ser-
viced properly. See your authorized
dealer for service.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped
with High Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlamps, when the head-
lamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lamps. This dimin-
ishes and becomes more white af-
ter approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.
QUAD HEADLAMPS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
1. Raise the hood to access the high
or low beam bulbs at the rear of the
headlamp housing.
2. Release the two tabs on the side of
the connector and remove the connec-
tor from the bulb. 3. Twist the headlamp bulb and pull
the bulb from the headlamp housing.
4. Install the new headlamp bulb and
twist until locked into the headlamp
housing.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with
your fingers. Oil contamination will
severely shorten bulb life. If the
bulb comes in contact with an oily
surface, clean the bulb with rub-
bing alcohol.
5. Reconnect the wiring connector to
the bulb.
FRONT TURN SIGNAL AND
SIDE MARKER LAMPS
Access to change the turn signal or
side marker bulb is from the rear of
the headlamp housing.
1. Twist the turn signal or side
marker socket to remove the socket.
2. Pull bulb from the socket.
