CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive ve-
hicles depends on tires of equal size, type
and circumference on each wheel. Any
difference in tire size can cause damage to
the transfer case. Tire rotation schedule
should be followed to balance tire wear.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If you are storing your vehicle for more than
21 days, we recommend that you take the
following steps to minimize the drain on your
vehicle's battery:
• Disconnect the negative cable from battery.
• Any time you store your vehicle or keep it
out of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeksor more, run the air conditioning system at
idle for about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage when
the system is started again.
BODYWORK
Body And Underbody Maintenance
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic head-
lights and fog lights that are lighter and less
susceptible to stone breakage than glass
headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wip-
ing with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash
with a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other aggressive mate-
rial to clean the lenses.
Preserving The Bodywork
Washing
• Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using a mild car
wash soap, and rinse the panels completely
with clear water.
• If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have
accumulated on your vehicle, use a specific
detergent to remove.
• Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove
road film, stains and to protect your paint
finish. Take care never to scratch the paint.
• Avoid using abrasive compounds and power
buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin
out the paint finish.
CAUTION!
• Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and
painted surfaces.
Tire Rotation
239
Minimum Ground Clearance (Reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the
lower edge of the differential. This value also
defines those for the “Approach Angle” the
“Departure Angle” and the “Breakover
Angle”.
Dimensions are expressed in inches (mm)
and refer to the vehicle equipped with its
original tires.
Approach Angle (Reference B)
The approach angle is determined by the
horizontal line of the road surface, and by the
tangent line passing between the front wheel,
and the most projecting low point of the car.The wider the angle, the lower the chance to
hit an obstacle with the body or chassis, when
climbing a steep slope or overcoming an
obstacle.
Departure Angle (Reference C)
The departure angle is determined by the
same lines of the “Approach Angle”, and
refers to the rear part of the vehicle.
Breakover Angle (Reference D)
The value of the “Breakover Angle” is linked
to the ground clearance of the vehicle and
indicates the attitude of the vehicle to over-
come a wedge, more or less steep, preventing
the vehicle from resting on the ground with
the body or chassis after touching the wedge
with its lowest and most projecting parts
(usually the underbody), because this would
highly reduce wheel grip.The wheels, without a suitable grip to the
ground, will not have sufficient hold to move
the vehicle, and will surge.
The higher the ground clearance, the wider
the breakover angle. Always bear in mind that
the higher the ground clearance, the lower
the stability, due to a higher center of gravity
which reduces the side rollover angle.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
2.0L Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emission
regulations, and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline with a recom-
mended RON of 97.While operating on gasoline with the required
octane number, hearing a light knocking
sound from the engine is not a cause for
concern. However, if the engine is heard
making a heavy knocking sound, see your
dealer immediately. Use of gasoline with a
lower than recommended octane number can
cause engine failure and may void or not be
covered by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
3.6L Engine
These engines are designed to meet all emis-
sions regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum
Research Octane Number (RON) of 91.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
