Checking Oil Level — Gasoline Engine 
To ensure proper lubrication of your vehicle's
engine, the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. The engine oil level should
be  checked  five  minutes  after  a  warmed  up
engine has been shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground  will  improve  the  accuracy  of  the  oil
level readings. Always maintain the oil  level
within the SAFE zone on the dipstick. Adding
1 quart (0.95 liters) of oil when the reading
is  at  the  bottom  of  the  crosshatch  zone  will
result  in  a  reading  at  the  top  of  the  cross-
hatch zone on these engines.
Adding Washer Fluid  
The  fluid  reservoir  for  the  windshield
washers  and  the  rear  window  washer  (if
equipped)  is  shared.  The  fluid  reservoir  is
located in the engine compartment. Be sure
to  check  the  fluid  level  at  regular  intervals.
Fill  the  reservoir  with  windshield  washer
solvent  only  (not  radiator  antifreeze).  When
refilling the washer fluid reservoir, 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 solu -
tion  or  mixture  that  meets  or  exceeds  the
temperature  range  of  your  climate.  This
rating  information  can  be  found  on  most
washer fluid containers. 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)
 WARNING!
Commercial  windshield  washer  solvents
are flammable. They could ignite and burn
you. Care must be exercised when filling or
working around the washer solution.

(Continued)
Under normal operating conditions, the cata-
lytic converter will not require maintenance.
However,  it  is  important  to  keep  the  engine
properly  tuned  to  ensure  proper  catalyst
operation  and  prevent  possible  catalyst
damage.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems  can  result  in  civil  penalties  being
assessed against you.
In  unusual  situations  involving  grossly
malfunctioning  engine  operation,  a
scorching  odor  may  suggest  severe  and
abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs,
stop  the  vehicle,  turn  off  the  engine  and
allow it to cool. Service, including a tune-up
to  manufacturer's  specifications,  should  be
obtained immediately.
To  minimize  the  possibility  of  catalytic
converter damage:
Do  not  interrupt  the  ignition  when  the
transmission  is  in  gear  and  the  vehicle  is
in motion.
Do  not  try  to  start  the  vehicle by  pushing
or towing the vehicle.
Do  not  idle  the  engine  with  any  ignition
components  disconnected  or  removed,
such  as  when  diagnostic  testing,  or  for
prolonged periods during very rough idle or
malfunctioning operating conditions.
Cooling System
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 catalyst as an
emissions  control  device  and  may  seriously
reduce  engine  performance  and  cause
serious damage to the engine.
Damage  to the catalytic converter  can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating
condition.  In  the  event  of  engine  malfunc -
tion,  particularly  involving  engine  misfire  or
other apparent loss of performance, have your
vehicle  serviced  promptly.  Continued  opera-
tion of your vehicle with a severe malfunction
could  cause  the  converter  to  overheat,
resulting in possible damage to the converter
and vehicle.
 WARNING! (Continued)
 WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine  coolant  (antifreeze)  or  steam
from  your  radiator.  If  you  see  or  hear
steam  coming  from  under  the  hood,  do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had  time  to  cool.  Never  open  a  cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the  hood  is  raised.  The  fan  starts  auto-
matically  and  may  start  at  any  time,
whether the engine is running or not.

Coolant Checks 
Check  the  engine  and,  intercooler  (if
equipped)  coolant  (antifreeze)  protection
every  12 months  (before  the  onset  of
freezing  weather,  where  applicable).  If  the
engine and, intercooler (if equipped) is dirty
or rusty in appearance, the system should be
drained, flushed and refilled with fresh OAT
coolant  (conforming  to  MS.90032)  by  an
authorized dealer. Check the front of the A/C
condenser  (if  equipped)  or  radiator  for  any
accumulation  of  bugs,  leaves,  etc.  If  dirty,
clean by gently spraying water from a garden
hose  vertically  down  the  face  of  the  A/C
condenser  (if  equipped)  or  the  back  of  the
radiator core.Check  the  engine  and,  intercooler  (if
equipped)  cooling  system  hoses  for  brittle
rubber,  cracking,  tears,  cuts,  and  tightness
of  the  connection  at  the  coolant  recovery
bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system
for  leaks.  DO NOT  REMOVE  THE COOLANT
PRESSURE  CAP  WHEN  THE  COOLING
SYSTEM IS HOT.
Brake System 
In  order  to  ensure  brake  system  perfor
-
mance, all brake system components should
be  inspected  periodically.  Refer  to  the
“Maintenance  Plan”  in  this  section  for  the
proper maintenance intervals.
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
cylinder area before removing cap. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as
the brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should
be  checked  when  pads  are  replaced.  If  the
brake  fluid  is  abnormally  low,  check  the
system for leaks.
Refer  to  “Fluids  And  Lubricants”  in  “Tech -
nical Specifications” for further information.When  working  near  the  radiator  cooling
fan,  turn  the  ignition  to  the  OFF  mode.
The  fan  is  temperature  controlled  and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
 WARNING! (Continued)
 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
temperatures,  excessive  lining  wear,  and
possible  brake  damage.  You  would  not
have  your  full  braking  capacity  in  an
emergency. 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
performance.  The  proper  type  of  brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the  original  factory  installed  hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.

Tire Rotation Recommendations 
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate  at  different  loads  and  perform
different  steering,  handling,  and  braking
functions.  For  these  reasons,  they  wear  at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rota-
tion  of  tires.  The  benefits  of  rotation  are
especially  worthwhile  with  aggressive  tread
designs  such  as  those  on  On/Off  Road  type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Refer  to  the  “Maintenance  Plan”  for  the
proper  maintenance  intervals.  The  reasons
for  any  rapid  or  unusual  wear  should  be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The  suggested  rotation method is the “rear
-
ward-cross” shown in the following diagram.
Tire Rotation (Rearward Cross)
STORING THE VEHICLE   
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on  the  method of installation,
operating  speed,  and  conditions  for  use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of  the  device  manufacturer’s  if  it  is  less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
 CAUTION! (Continued)
 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  transfer  case.  Tire  rotation
schedule  should  be  followed  to  balance
tire wear.
 WARNING!
Take  care  to  avoid  the  radiator  cooling
fan  whenever  the  hood  is  raised.  It  can
start  anytime  the  ignition  switch  is  ON.
You can be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch  bands  and  bracelets  that  could
make  an  inadvertent  electrical  contact.
You could be seriously injured.
Vehicles  with  the  Stop/Start  system  will
be equipped with two batteries. Both the
main  and  the  supplemental  batteries
must  be  disconnected  to  completely
de-energize  the  12  Volt  electrical
system.
Serious injury or death could result if you
do  not  disconnect  both  batteries.  To
learn  how  to  properly  disconnect,  see
your authorized dealer.
