WARNING!
• You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only service
work for which you have the knowledge
and the right equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a com-
petent mechanic.
WARNING!
• Failure to properly inspect and maintain
your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling
and performance. This could cause an
accident.

Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings. Add oil only when the level on
the dipstick is below the “MIN” mark. The
total capacity from the MIN mark to the MAX
mark is 1 qt (1 L).
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pres-
sure. This could damage your engine.
NOTE:
It is possible for your oil level to be slightly
higher than a previous check. This would be
due to diesel fuel that may temporarily be in
the crankcase due to operation of the diesel
particulate filter regeneration strategy. This
fuel will evaporate out under normal opera-
tion.
Never operate the engine with oil level below
the “MIN” mark or above the upper “MAX”
mark.
WARNING!
• Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable va-
pors may be present, with the risk of fire.
• Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
• Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could se-
verely damage your car.
• The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
• Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
CAUTION!
• If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for ve-
hicles with aluminium cap (if
equipped). WARNING: risk of burns!
• Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pres-
sure. This could damage your engine.
Adding Washer Fluid
The instrument cluster display will indicate
when the washer fluid level is low. When the
sensor detects a low fluid level, the wind-
shield will light on the vehicle graphic outline
and the “WASHER FLUID LOW” message
will be displayed.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers
and the rear window washer is shared. The
fluid reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment, be sure to check the fluid level at
regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with wind-
shield washer solvent only (not radiator anti-
freeze). When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, take some washer fluid and apply it to a
cloth or towel and wipe clean the wiper

blades, this will help blade performance. To
prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer
system in cold weather, select a solution or
mixture that meets or exceeds the tempera-
ture range of your climate. This rating infor-
mation can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Plan” in this section 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 tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and pos-
sible brake damage. You would not have
your full braking capacity in an emergency.
Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should
be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced,
or immediately if the brake system warning
light is on. If necessary, add fluid to bring
level within the designated marks on the side
of the reservoir of the brake master cylinder.
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylin-
der area before removing cap. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall asthe brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should
be checked when pads are replaced. If the
brake fluid is abnormally low, check the sys-
tem for leaks.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Techni-
cal Specifications” for further information.
WARNING!
• Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri-
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its per-
formance. The proper type of brake fluid
for your vehicle is also identified on the
original factory installed hydraulic mas-
ter cylinder reservoir.
• To avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture, use only new brake
fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly
closed container. Keep the master cylin-
der reservoir cap secured at all times.
Brake fluid in a open container absorbs
moisture from the air resulting in a lower

WARNING!
speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A
tire could explode and injure someone. Do
not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 sec-
onds continuously when you are stuck, and
do not let anyone near a spinning wheel,
no matter what the speed.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original
equipment tires to help you in determining
when your tires should be replaced.These indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. They will appear as
bands when the tread depth becomes a
1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is
worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire
should be replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section
for further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including, but not limited to:
• Driving style.
• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation
pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread. These ab-
normal wear patterns will reduce tread life,
resulting in the need for earlier tire replace-
ment.
• Distance driven.
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating
of V or higher, and Summer tires typically
have a reduced tread life. Rotation of these
tires per the vehicle scheduled mainte-
nance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced
after six years, regardless of the remaining
tread. Failure to follow this warning can
result in sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.
NOTE:
Wheel Valve Stem must be replaced as well
when installing new tires due to wear and tear
in existing tires.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place
with as little exposure to light as possible.
Protect tires from contact with oil, grease,
and gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a bal-
ance of many characteristics. They should be
inspected regularly for wear and correct cold
tire inflation pressures. The manufacturer
strongly recommends that you use tires
equivalent to the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is needed.

6.2L/6.4L Engine
Your vehicle is designed to meet all emissions
regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline having an Re-
search Octane Number (RON) of 98 or
higher. The manufacturer recommends the
use of 98 Research Octane Number (RON) or
higher for optimum performance.
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.
Methanol
(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You
may find fuels containing 3% or more metha-
nol along with other alcohols called cosol-
vents. Problems that result from using
methanol/gasoline are not the responsibility
of the manufacturer. While MTBE is an oxy-
genate made from Methanol, it does not have
the negative effects of Methanol.
WARNING!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems and may damage
critical fuel system components.
Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 15% ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from
a reputable supplier may reduce the risk of
exceeding this 15% limit and/or of receiving
fuel with abnormal properties. It should also
be noted that an increase in fuel consump-
tion should be expected when using ethanol-
blended fuels, due to the lower energy con-
tent of ethanol. Problems that result from
using methanol/gasoline or E-85 ethanol
blends are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher
than 15% may result in engine malfunc-
tion, starting and operating difficulties,
and materials degradation. These adverse
effects could result in permanent damage
to your vehicle.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS –
DIESEL ENGINE
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier. If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel fuel thickens due to the for-
mation of paraffin clots with consequent de-
fective operation of the fuel supply system. In
order to avoid these problems different types
of fuel are distributed according to the sea-
son: summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas).This vehicle must only
use premium diesel fuel that meets the require-
ments of EN 590. Biodiesel blends up to 7% that
meet EN 590 may also be used.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel
blending agent. They can be unstable un-
der certain conditions and hazardous or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of wa-
ter. To prevent fuel system trouble, drain the
accumulated water from the fuel/water sepa-
rator using the fuel/water separator drain pro-
vided on the fuel filter housing. If you buy
good quality fuel and follow the cold weather
advice above, fuel conditioners should not be
required in your vehicle. If available in your
area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel
may offer improved cold-starting and
warm-up performance.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” re-
mains on, DO NOT START engine before
you drain the water from the fuel filter(s) to
avoid engine damage. Refer to “Draining
Fuel/Water Separator Filter” in “Servicing
And Maintenance” in your Owner’s Manual
for further information.
Fuel Icon Identification Compliant To
EN16942
The following symbols make it easier to rec-
ognize the correct type of fuel to be used on
your vehicle. Before proceeding with the sup-
ply, check the symbols placed inside the fuel
filler flap (if present) and compare them with
the symbol on the fuel pump (if present).
