GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL139
Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or 
more of the following conditions:
The charging system cannot deliver enough 
electrical power to the vehicle system 
because the electrical loads are larger than 
the capability of charging system. The 
charging system is still functioning properly.
Turning on all possible vehicle electrical 
loads (e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and 
interior lights, overloaded power outlets +12 
Volts, 150W, USB ports) during certain 
driving conditions (city driving, towing, 
frequent stopping).
Installing options like additional lights, 
upfitter electrical accessories, audio 
systems, alarms and similar devices.
Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated 
by long parking periods).
The vehicle was parked for an extended 
period of time (weeks, months).
The battery was recently replaced and was 
not charged completely.
The battery was discharged by an electrical 
load left on when the vehicle was parked.
The battery was used for an extended period 
with the engine not running to supply radio, 
lights, chargers, +12 Volt portable appli-
ances like vacuum cleaners, game consoles 
and similar devices.
What to do when an electrical load reduction 
action message is present (“Battery Saver On” 
or “Battery Saver Mode”)
During a trip:
Reduce power to unnecessary loads if 
possible:
Turn off redundant lights (interior or exte -
rior)
Check what may be plugged in to power 
outlets +12 Volts, 150W, USB ports
Check HVAC settings (blower, tempera -
ture)
Check the audio settings (volume) After a trip:
Check if any aftermarket equipment was 
installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical 
accessories, audio systems, alarms) and 
review specifications if any (load and Ignition 
Off Draw currents).
Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, 
driving time and parking time).
The vehicle should have service performed if 
the message is still present during consecu
-
tive trips and the evaluation of the vehicle 
and driving pattern did not help to identify the 
cause.

10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on 
the wrench while at the end of the handle 
for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts 
in a star pattern until each nut has been 
tightened twice. Refer to “Wheel And Tire 
Torque Specifications” in “Technical 
Specifications” for proper wheel lug nut 
torque. If in doubt about the correct 
tightness, have them checked with a torque 
wrench by an authorized dealer or at a 
service station.
11. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
12. Place the deflated (flat) tire and foam tray  cover assembly in the rear cargo area.  Do 
not stow the deflated tire in the inflatable 
spare tire location.  Have the full-sized tire 
repaired or replaced, as soon as possible. 13. Stow the jack back in the stowage 
compartment and place the access panel 
back. The stud of the storage area must be 
threaded through the lower part of the jack. 
Then turn the Jack Screw clockwise to 
secure it in place.
NOTE:
Stow the foam tray and components in the 
cargo area.
Storing The Jack
Road Tire Installation
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 lug 
nuts on the mounting studs which are on 
each side of the valve stem. Install the lug 
nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut 
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug 
nuts.
Tire And Wheel Cover Or Center Cap
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a 
collision or hard stop could endanger the 
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack 
parts and the spare tire in the places 
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired 
or replaced immediately.

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 lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or 
excessive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone  shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. 
Lightly tighten all the lug nuts until the 
wheel sits flush onto the hub and there is no 
play. The nuts will have to be fully tightened 
once the vehicle is lowered. Tightening an 
improperly seated wheel under vehicle load 
can damage the threads, cause vibration, 
and undermine safety.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning  the jack handle counterclockwise.
 6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on 
the wrench while at the end of the handle for 
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a 
star pattern until each nut has been 
tightened twice. Refer to “Wheel And Tire 
Torque Specifications” in “Technical Specifi -
cations” for proper wheel lug nut torque. If in 
doubt about the correct tightness, have them 
checked with a torque wrench by an 
authorized dealer or at a service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque  with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts 
are properly seated against the wheel.
Vehicles Without Wheel Covers

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the 
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until 
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to 
follow this warning may result in serious 
injury.

Tires — General Information 
Tire Pressure 
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the 
safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. 
Four primary areas are affected by improper tire 
pressure:
Safety
Fuel Economy
Tread Wear
Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Safety
Both underinflation and overinflation affect the 
stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling 
of sluggish response or over responsiveness in 
the steering.NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from side to side may 
cause erratic and unpredictable steering 
response.
Unequal tire pressure from side to side may 
cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling 
resistance resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause 
abnormal wear patterns and reduced tread life, 
resulting in the need for earlier tire 
replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a 
comfortable ride. Overinflation produces a 
jarring and uncomfortable ride.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and 
can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and 
can result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to 
cushion shock. Objects on the road and 
chuckholes can cause damage that result 
in tire failure.
Overinflated or underinflated tires can 
affect vehicle handling and can fail 
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle 
control.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering 
problems. You could lose control of your 
vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of the 
vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle 
to drift to the right or left.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the 
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
WARNING!  (Continued)

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS389
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to 
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion or 
loose particles.
Wheel Mounting Surface
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until 
each nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure  that the socket is fully engaged on the lug nut/
bolt (do not insert it halfway).
Torque Patterns
After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut/bolt  torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are 
properly seated against the wheel.FUEL REQUIREMENTS 
3.6L Engine 
Do not use E-85 flex fuel or ethanol blends 
greater than 15% in this engine.
These engines are designed to meet all 
emissions regulations and provide 
optimum fuel economy and performance 
when using high quality unleaded 
“Regular” gasoline having a posted octane number 
of 87 as specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use 
of higher octane “Premium” gasoline is not 
required, as it will not provide any benefit over 
“Regular” gasoline in these engines.
While operating on gasoline with an octane 
number of 87, 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 an authorized dealer immediately. Use 
of gasoline with an octane number lower than 87 
can cause engine failure and may void or not be 
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the 
jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully until 
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow 
this warning may result in personal injury.
