436 MAINTAINING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE

•If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are
required, the cooling system should be pressure tested
for leaks.
• Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a
minimum of 50% OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) and distilled water for proper corrosion
protection of your engine which contains aluminum
components.
• Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is
equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the
condenser clean.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter
operation. If replacement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type thermostat. Other designs may
result in unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze)
performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emis-
sions.Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance, all brake
system components should be inspected periodically.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and
possibly a collision. Driving with your foot resting or
riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally
high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. Riding the brakes may also
reduce braking capacity in an emergency.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked
when performing under hood services, or immediately if
the “Brake Warning Light” is on.
464 MAINTAINING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles de-
pends on tires of equal size, type and circumference
on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
damage to the power transfer unit. Tire rotation
schedule should be followed to balance tire wear.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for more than a
month, observe the following precautions:
•Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and possibly airy
location the windows open slightly;
• Check that the Electric Park Brake is not engaged.
• Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery
post and be sure that the battery is fully charged.
During storage check battery charge quarterly.
• If you do not disconnect the battery from the electrical
system, check the battery charge every thirty days.

•Brakes
This feature provides a means for a technician or vehicle
owner to utilize a vehicle integrated, menu driven sys-
tem, to command the electric park brake retraction, to
service the rear foundation brakes (brake pads, calipers,
rotors, etc.). For further information, refer to “Service
Mode (Unlocking rear brake pads)” in “Maintaining And
Caring For Your Vehicle.”
• Auto Park Brake
This feature provides a means for a technician or vehicle
owner to enable/disable auto insertion of the Electric
Park Brake. For further information, refer to “Auto Park
Brake” in “Starting And Operating.”Lights
After pressing the “Lights” button on the touchscreen the
following settings will be available:
• Headlight Sensitivity
When this feature is selected, it allows the Headlight
Sensitivity to be adjusted according to three levels:
Level 1 = minimum sensitivity
Level 2 = medium sensitivity
Level 3 = maximum sensitivity
NOTE: The greater the sensitivity set, the less the exter-
nal light variation required to turn on the lights (e.g. with
a setting on level 3 at sunset the headlights turn on earlier
than in levels 1 and 2). To change the Headlight Sensi-
tivity setting, press the “1,” “2” or “3” button on the
touchscreen to select your desired Headlight Sensitivity
level.
