EXHAUST GAS
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poi-
son you. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closedgarage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed. The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
SAFETY CHECKS YOU
SHOULD MAKE INSIDE
THE VEHICLE
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able

20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle.
If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the
engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dan-
gerous. You or others could be
badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”. Fol-
low the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.
21. Rear Fog Light Indicator This indicator will illuminate
when the rear fog lights are
on. (Refer to “Lights” in “Un-
derstanding The Features Of Your Ve-
hicle” for further information).

comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move thetemperature settings for cold or
hot vehicles. The system auto-
matically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode and fan speed to pro-
vide comfort as quickly as
possible.
The temperature can be dis- played in English or Metric units
by selecting the “Display Units
of Measure in” customer-
programmable feature. Refer to

To provide you with maximum com-
fort in the automatic mode, during
cold start-ups, the blower fan will re-
main on low until the engine warms
up. The fan will engage immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by
changing the front blower knob set-
ting.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement
of manual override features. The
AUTO symbol in the front ATC dis-
play will be turned off when the sys-
tem is being used in the manual mode.
NOTE: If not operating in AUTO
mode, the system will not auto-
matically sense the presence of fog,
mist or ice on the windshield. DE-
FROST mode must be manually
selected to clear the windshield
and side glass.
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When in A/C mode and the
ATC is set to a cool temperature, de-
humidified air flows through the air
outlets. If Economy mode is desired,
press the A/C button to turn off the
A/C mode in the ATC display and
deactivate the A/C system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix, Floor or
Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system
shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass, select
Defrost mode and increase
blower speed.
Recirculation Control
When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
Recirculation control button. Recir-
culation mode should only be used
temporarily. A LED will illuminate on
the Recirculation control button when
Recirculation mode is selected. Push
the button a second time to turn off
the Recirculation mode LED and al-
low outside air into the vehicle.

CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Auto-
matic Temperature Control System
through an intake grille, located in
the right side trim panel behind the
third row seats. The rear outlets are
located in the right side trim panel
of the 3rd Row seat. Do not block or
place objects directly in front of the
inlet grille or heater outlets. The
electrical system could overload
causing damage to the blower mo-
tor.
Rear Temperature Control
To change the temperature in the rear
of the vehicle, rotate the temperature
knob counterclockwise to lower the
temperature, and clockwise to in-
crease the temperature. The rear tem-
perature settings are displayed in the

knob is illuminated and any rear over-
head adjustments are ignored. Rear Mode Control
Auto Mode
The rear system automatically main-
tains the correct mode and comfort
level desired by the rear seat occu-
pants.
Headliner Mode
Air comes from the outlets in
the headliner. Each of these
outlets can be individually adjusted to
direct the flow of air. Moving the air
vanes of the outlets to one side will
shut off the airflow.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from both the head-
liner outlets and the floor out-
lets.
NOTE: In many temperature po-
sitions, the Bi-Level mode is de-
signed to provide cooler air out of
the headliner outlets and warmer
air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode Air comes from the floor out-
lets. Recirculation Control
When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
Recirculation control button. Recir-
culation mode should only be used
temporarily. The recirculation LED
will illuminate when this button is
selected. Push the button a second
time to turn off the Recirculation
mode LED and allow outside air into
the vehicle.
NOTE: In cold weather, use of the
Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The Re-
circulation mode is not allowed in
Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if
this mode is selected.
SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
224

and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging.
VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensureadequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dustand pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement in-
structions.
OPERATING TIPS
225

Use speed control in flat terrain andwith light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and
transmission overheating, take the
following actions:
City Driving
When stopped for short periods, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and
increase engine idle speed.
Highway Driving
Reduce speed.

HAZARD WARNING
FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is
located in the lower center area of the
instrument panel.Press the switch to turn on the
Hazard Warning flasher.
When the switch is activated, all di-
rectional turn signals will flash on and
off to warn oncoming traffic of an
emergency. Press the switch a second
time to turn off the Hazard Warning
flashers.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the Hazard Warning
flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
NOTE: With extended use the
Hazard Warning flashers may
wear down your battery.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you
can reduce the potential for overheat-
ing by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEU-
TRAL, but do not increase engine
idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you
can take to slow down an impend-
ing overheat condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system
adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off
can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the tempera- ture control to maximum heat,
the mode control to floor and the
blower control to high. This al-
lows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and
aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If tem-
perature gauge reads “H”, pull over
and stop the vehicle. Idle the ve-
hicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H”, turn
the engine off immediately, and call
for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned
by hot engine coolant (antifreeze)
or steam from your radiator. If you
see or hear steam coming from un-
der the hood, do not open the hood
until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the ra-
diator or coolant bottle is hot.
286

WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not tighten the
wheel nuts fully until the vehicle
has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal
injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by
turning the jack handle counterclock-
wise.
4. Refer to “Torque Specifications”
in this section for correct lug nut
torque.
5. After 40 km check the lug nut
torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all lug nuts are properly seated
against the wheel.
JUMP-STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery it can be jump-started using a set
of jumper cables and a battery in an-
other vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully. NOTE: When using a portable
battery booster pack follow the
manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage
greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alterna-
tor or electrical system may occur.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
battery is frozen. It could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury.
PREPARATIONS FOR
JUMP-START
The battery in your vehicle is located
on the left side of the engine compart-
ment.
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator
cooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is ON. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch bands and brace-
lets that could make an inadver-
tent electrical contact. You could
be seriously injured.
