Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones,
nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the
tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts
and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, and bulges. Check the wheel bolts for
tightness. Check the tires (including spare)
for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and lock-
ing.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or
if fuel, or brake fluid leaks are suspected. The
cause should be located and corrected imme-
diately.
SAFETY

CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehiclemust be driven slowly when using
ParkView to be able to stop in time when
an obstacle is seen. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over his/
her shoulder when using ParkView.
NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance
builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens,
rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not cover the lens.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler
door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas
cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replace-
ment cap is for use with this vehicle.
1. Open the fuel filler door.
2. Remove the fuel cap by rotating it counterclockwise. 3. Fully insert the gasoline nozzle into the
filler pipe.
4. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
5. Remove gasoline nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and close fuel filler door.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit inor near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may
cause the MIL to turn on.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped
into a portable container that is inside of
a vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place gas containers on the ground while
filling.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissionscontrol system could result from using
an improper fuel tank filler tube cap. A
poorly fitting cap could let impurities
into the fuel system and may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” to
turn on, due to fuel vapors escaping
from the system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do
not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that
the fuel filler cap is properly tightened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on. Be sure the gas cap is
tightened every time the vehicle is
refueled.

3. Rotate the wheel wrench handle counter-clockwise until the spare tire is on the
ground with enough cable slack to allow
you to pull it out from under the vehicle.
NOTE:
The winch mechanism is designed for use
with the winch extension only. Use of an
air wrench or other power tools is not
recommended and can damage the
winch. 4. Pull the spare tire out from under the
vehicle to gain access to the spare tire
retainer.
5. Remove the retainer nut prior to removing the retainer from the wheel. 6. Lift the spare tire with one hand to give
clearance to tilt the retainer at the end of
the cable.
7. Pull the retainer through the center of the wheel.
NOTE:
• To properly stow the spare tire follow the procedure above in the reverse order.

• When winching the tire back into place, thewinch will make three audible noises once
secure. Reach underneath and shake tire
by hand to confirm that it is secure. The tire
should not move. If tire is still loose and/or
three audible noises are not heard, place
and secure damaged wheel into the vehicle
and seek dealer assistance for the winch
mechanism.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as pos-
sible. Avoid icy or slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side
of the vehicle close to moving traffic, pull
far enough off the road to avoid being hit
when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Apply the parking brake. 4. Place the gear selector into PARK.
5. Turn the ignition off to the LOCK position.
6. Chock both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the jacking posi-
tion. For example, if changing the right
front tire, chock the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
Jacking Instructions
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing warn-
ings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
• Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set an
automatic transmission in PARK; a
manual transmission in REVERSE.
• Never start or run the engine with the
vehicle on a jack.
• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when
it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is
on a jack. If you need to get under a
raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.
• Only use the jack in the positions indi-
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.

5. Rotate the winch mechanism clockwiseuntil the wheel is properly stowed under
the vehicle and until the wench makes
three audible noises.
6. Reach underneath and shake tire by hand to confirm that it is secure. The tire should
not move. If the tire is still loose and/or
three audible noises are not heard, place
and secure damaged wheel into the ve-
hicle and seek dealer assistance for the
winch mechanism.
This is for temporary use only.
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel
Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two
wheel bolts on the wheel. Install the wheel
bolts with the threaded end of the bolt
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the
wheel bolts. 3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover
with the valve stem on the wheel. Install
the cover by hand, snapping the cover
over the two wheel bolts. Do not use a
hammer or excessive force to install the
cover.
4. Install the remaining wheel bolts with the threaded end of the wheel bolt toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not fully tighten the wheel
bolts until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while holding at the
end of the handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each wheel bolt has been tightened
twice. Refer to “Torque Specifications” in
“Technical Specifications” for correct
wheel bolt torque.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all wheel bolts are properly seated
against the wheel.

WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator coolingfan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is ON.
You can be injured by moving fan blades.
WARNING!
• Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact.
You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
1. Apply the parking brake, shift the auto- matic transmission into PARK and turn
the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnec- essary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and
make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other
as this could establish a ground connec-
tion and personal injury could result.
Jump Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting proce-
dure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged ve-
hicle.
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper
cable to the positive (+)post of the dis-
charged vehicle.
