TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your vehicle.
Use only tow bars and other equipment
designed for this purpose, following equip-
ment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of
safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing devices to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or
associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this
vehicle to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the
customer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total
electrical failure when the Electric Park
Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel
dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the
ground when moving the vehicle onto a
flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the igni -
tion must be in the ON/RUN mode.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition
is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and
brake pedal is released). If you are towing
this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/RUN
mode, you must manually disable the Elec -tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans
-
mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.

Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication, the
engine oil must be maintained at the correct
level. Check the oil level at regular intervals,
such as every fuel stop. The best time to
check the engine oil level is about five
minutes after a fully warmed up engine is
shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings.
There are three possible dipstick types,
Crosshatched zone.
Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at
the low end of the range and MAX at the
high end of the range.
Crosshatched zone marked with dimples
at the MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the
crosshatch markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liters) of oil when the
reading is at the low end of the dipstick
range will raise the oil level to the high end
of the range marking.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir is located in the front of
the engine compartment. Be sure to check
the fluid level in the reservoir at regular inter -
vals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual washer fluid.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid, apply it to a cloth or
towel, and wipe clean the wiper blades; this
will help blade performance.
WARNING!
Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable
vapors 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
severely 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.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for vehi -
cles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
CAUTION! (Continued)

Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades
and the windshield and rear window periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accu -
mulations of salt, waxes, or road film, and
help reduce streaking and smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost
or ice from the windshield or rear window.
Make sure that they are not frozen to the
glass before turning them on to avoid
damaging the blade. Keep the wiper blade
out of contact with petroleum products such
as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and
frequency of use. Poor performance of
blades may be present with chattering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system; or if the exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle; or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged;
have an authorized technician inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system inspected
each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication
or oil change. Replace as required.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventu
-
ally poison you. To avoid breathing CO,
refer to “Safety Tips” in “Safety” for
further information.
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if
you park over materials that can burn.
Such materials might be grass or leaves
coming into contact with your exhaust
system. Do not park or operate your
vehicle in areas where your exhaust
system can contact anything that can
burn.
CAUTION!
The catalytic converter requires the use
of unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline
will destroy the effectiveness of the cata-
lyst as an emissions control device and
may seriously reduce engine perfor -
mance and cause serious damage to the
engine.

The suggested Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Tire
rotation method is the “forward cross” shown
in the following diagram. This rotation
pattern does not apply to some directional
tires that must not be reversed.Tire Rotation (Forward Cross)
The suggested Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire
rotation method is the “rearward cross”
shown in the following diagram.
Tire Rotation (Rearward Cross)
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location the windows open
slightly.
Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the
battery is fully charged. During storage
check battery charge quarterly.
If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.
Cover the vehicle with an appropriate
cover taking care not to damage the
painted surface by dragging across dirty
surfaces. Do not use plastic sheeting
which will not allow the evaporation of
moisture present on the surface of the
vehicle.
Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi
(+0.5 bar) higher than recommended on
the tire placard and check it periodically.
Do not drain the engine cooling system.
Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary
for two weeks or more, idle the engine for
approximately five minutes, with the air
conditioning system on and high fan
speed. This will ensure proper lubrication
of the system, thus minimizing the possi -
bility of damage to the compressor when
the vehicle is put back into operation.
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive
vehicles depends on tires of equal size,
type and circumference on each wheel.
Any difference in tire size can cause
damage to the power transfer unit. Tire
rotation schedule should be followed to
balance tire wear.
