Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of 
the following operations:
• 
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
• 
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is 
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front 
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
 This is an 
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can 
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
NOTICE
*if equipped
The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY, unless 
the shift lever is in Park (P), in which case the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine provides 
to the steering and braking systems, it will require significantly more physical effort 
and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both feet on the 
brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine 
to be switched off.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated 
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, 
the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message 
appears on the multi-information display.
 What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire 
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified 
level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the 
driver’s doorjamb.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire wit\
h the compact 
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.
 Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the parking brake, 
shift to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. Open the tailgate. Turn on the cargo lights if 
necessary (see page 39). Remove the floor mat 
under the second-row seat.
2. Pull up the floor carpet.
3. Lift up the floor lid using the handle and remove it.
4. Take the tool case out of the spare tire well. Take 
the jack and wheel nut wrench out of the tool 
case.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
 Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and 
accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
 If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head 
screwdriver to remove the screws and replace 
the fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine 
compartment and the vehicle interior.
 If there is a burned out fuse, remove it with the 
fuse puller and replace it with a new one.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the\
 chances 
of damaging the electrical system.

Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however, we cannot 
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. 
Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
 Maintenance Safety • 
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames 
away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not 
gasoline.
• 
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or 
compressed air.
• 
Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can 
accumulate.
 Vehicle Safety • 
The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking 
brake set and the engine off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
•  Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
Improperly maintaining this vehicle or failing to correct a problem before driving 
can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. 
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations according t\
o 
the schedules in this guide. 
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can \
cause 
you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this guide. 
WARNING
WARNING
Learn about basic maintenance that you can perform on the vehicle yourself, as well 
as information about how to best maintain the vehicle.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. 
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions 
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the 
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The 
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the 
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, 
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
 for 20 
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P). Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it 
there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed 
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with 
the vehicle in Drive. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 
seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; 
this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic 
conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (\
for a total of 
90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions 
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator 
pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again 
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be 
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.
