The transmission oil does not normally need to be changed during the service life of the vehicle. However, it may be necessary to replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, for prolonged driving in mountainous areas, or if the vehicle is often driven short distances in temperatures under40 °F (5 °C).

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-com- pressor to force air into the engine inlet mani-fold and a charge air cooler to cool the com-pressed inlet air. The resulting increase in airflow raises pressure in the intake manifoldand increases engine power over that devel-oped by the normally-aspirated engine. Thecharge air cooler (which resembles a radiator)is located between the turbo-compressor andinlet manifold.Fuel systemThe engine is equipped with a multiport fuelinjection system.

Three-way catalytic converter

Three-way catalytic converter - general information
•Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involvingthe electrical, fuel or distributor ignitionsystems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Donot continue to operate your vehicle ifyou detect engine misfire, noticeable lossof power or other unusual operating con-ditions, such as engine overheating orbackfiring. A properly tuned engine willhelp avoid malfunctions that could dam-age the three-way catalytic converter.
• Do not park your vehicle over combusti-ble materials, such as grass or leaves,which can come into contact with the hotexhaust system and cause such materialsto ignite under certain wind and weatherconditions.
• Excessive starter cranking (in excess ofone minute), or an intermittently firing orflooded engine can cause three-way cat-alytic converter or exhaust system over-heating.
• Remember that tampering or unauthor-ized modifications to the engine, the Elec-tronic Control Module, or the vehicle maybe illegal and can cause three-way cata-lytic converter or exhaust system over-heating. This includes: altering fuel injec-tion settings or components, altering emission system components or location,or removing components, and/the repea-ted use of leaded fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
