ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If
Equipped)
WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block heaterinstructions could result in propertydamage or serious personal injury.
Do not use your heater withungrounded electrical systems ortwo-pronged adapters. There is a riskof electrical shock.
Do not fully close the hood, or allowit to drop under its own weight whenusing the engine block heater. Thiscould damage the power cable and maycause an electrical short resulting in fire,injury and property damage.
Note:The heater is most effective whenoutdoor temperatures are below 0°F(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid bywarming the engine coolant. This allowsthe climate control system to respondquickly. The equipment includes a heaterelement (installed in the engine block) anda wire harness. You can connect thesystem to a grounded 120-volt ACelectrical source.
We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and heater cordplug connections are free and clear ofwater. This could cause an electricshock or fire.
•Make sure your vehicle is parked in aclean area, clear of combustibles.
•Make sure the heater, heater cord andextension cord are firmly connected.
•Check for heat anywhere in theelectrical hookup once the system hasbeen operating for approximately 30minutes.

•Make sure the system is unplugged andproperly stowed before starting anddriving your vehicle. Make sure theprotective cover seals the prongs of theblock heater cord plug when not in use.
•Make sure the heater system ischecked for proper operation beforewinter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the heater longer than three hoursdoes not improve system performance andunnecessarily uses electricity.

TRANSMISSION (MMT6)
Using the Clutch
Note:Failure to fully press the clutch pedalto the floor may cause increased shiftefforts, prematurely wear transmissioncomponents or damage the transmission.
Note:Do not drive with your foot resting onthe clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal tohold your vehicle at a standstill whilewaiting on a hill. These actions will reducethe life of the clutch and could nullify aclutch warranty claim.
Manual transmission vehicles have astarter interlock that prevents cranking theengine unless the clutch pedal is fullypressed.

1.Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2.Press the clutch pedal to the floor, thenput the gearshift lever in the neutralposition.
3.Start the engine.
4.Press the brake pedal and move thegearshift lever to the desired gear; first(1) or reverse (R).
5.Release the parking brake, then slowlyrelease the clutch pedal while slowlypressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, the clutch pedal mustbe fully pressed to the floor. Make sure thefloor mat is properly positioned so itdoesn't interfere with the full extension ofthe clutch pedal.
Recommended Shift Speeds
Note:Do not downshift into first (1) whenyour vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph(24 km/h). This will damage the clutch.
Recommended upshifts (for best fueleconomy) when accelerating
Shift from:
15 mph (24 km/h)1 - 2
26 mph (42 km/h)2 - 3

The PowerShift™ 6-speed, dual-clutchautomatic transmission is designed to offerdrivers both enhanced fuel efficiency andfun to drive performance. Thistransmission’s dual-clutch technology useselectronically shifted clutches to operatetwo separate transmissions all in a smalllightweight package.
Since the clutch and gear operation isderived from a manual transmission, thePowerShift automatic transmission willdrive, sound, and feel similar to manualtransmission minus the requireduser-inputs. For example, the transmissionmay exhibit mechanical noises, firm gearshifts and/or light clutch vibrations whenaccelerating slowly as the clutchesautomatically engage. These are allconsidered to be normal and expecteddriving characteristics.
Understanding the Positions ofYour Automatic Transmission
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1.Fully press down the brake pedal.
2.Move the gearshift lever into thedesired gear.
3.Come to a complete stop.
4.Move the gearshift lever and securelylatch it in park (P).
Park (P)
This position locks the transmission andprevents the wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), yourvehicle moves backward. Always come toa complete stop before shifting into andout of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), yourvehicle can be started and is free to roll.Hold the brake pedal down while in thisposition.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position forthe best fuel economy. The overdrivefunction allows automatic upshifts anddownshifts through gears one through six.
Sport (S)
Moving the gearshift lever to sport (S):
•Provides additional grade (engine)braking and extends lower gearoperation to enhance performance foruphill climbs, hilly terrain ormountainous areas. This increasesengine RPM during engine braking.
•Provides additional lower gearoperation through the automatictransmission shift strategy.
•Gears are selected more quickly andat higher engine speeds.
SelectShift Automatic™Transmission (If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShiftAutomatic transmission gearshift lever.The SelectShift Automatic transmissiongives you the ability to change gears up ordown (without a clutch) as desired.
