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.

Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a mainte
-
nance-free battery. You will never have to
add water, nor is periodic maintenance
required.
Pressure Washing
WARNING!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a
battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be
equipped with two batteries. Bot 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.
CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi -
tive (+) and negative (-) and are
identified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.

If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is
in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle
battery cables before connecting the charger
to the battery. Do not use a “fast charger” to
provide starting voltage.

WARNING! (Continued)
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.
If the negative battery cables are not
isolated properly it can cause a potential
power spike or surge in the system,
resulting in damage to essential elec-
trical components.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the engine compartment with a
high pressure washer is not recommended.
Precautions have been taken to safeguard
all parts and connections however, the
pressures generated by these machines is
such that complete protection against
water ingress cannot be guaranteed.

DEALER SERVICE
An authorized dealer has the qualified
service personnel, special tools, and equip-
ment to perform all service operations in an
expert manner. Service Manuals are avail -
able which include detailed service informa -
tion for your vehicle. Refer to these Service
Manuals before attempting any procedure
yourself.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems may void your warranty and could
result in civil penalties being assessed
against you.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades
and the windshield periodically with a
sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive
cleaner. This will remove accumulations of
salt or road film.
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.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost
or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade
rubber out of contact with petroleum prod -
ucts 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. The wiper blades and wiper arms should be
inspected periodically, not just when wiper
performance problems are experienced. This
inspection should include the following
points:
Wear or uneven edges
Foreign material
Hardening or cracking
Deformation or fatigue
If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged,
replace the affected wiper arm or blade with
a new unit. Do not attempt to repair a wiper
arm or blade that is damaged.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Only do service
work for which you have the knowledge
and the proper equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a
competent mechanic.

Preserving The Bodywork
Washing
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using a mild car
wash soap, and rinse the panels
completely with clear water.
If insects, tar, or other similar deposits
have accumulated on your vehicle, use a
specific detergent to remove.
Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove
road film, stains and to protect your paint
finish. Take care never to scratch the
paint.
Avoid using abrasive compounds and
power buffing that may diminish the gloss
or thin out the paint finish.
Special Care
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
It is important that the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors, rocker panels,
and trunk be kept clear and open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches
in the paint, touch them up immediately.
The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to a colli-
sion or similar cause that destroys the
paint and protective coating, have your
vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemi -
cals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure
that such materials are well packaged and
sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,
consider mud or stone shields behind
each wheel.
Touch up the scratches as soon as
possible. An authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your vehicle.
Some parts of the vehicle may be painted
with a matte paintwork which requires
special care for its preservation
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and
painted surfaces.

Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi
(8,274 kPa) can result in damage or
removal of paint and decals.

CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.

Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic
windows which can be scratched unless
special care is taken by following these
directions:
Never use a dry cloth to remove dust.
Instead, use a microfiber towel or soft
cotton cloth moistened with cold or warm,
clean water, and wipe across the window,
not up and down. It removes fine scratches
to improve visibility and provides UV
protection to help prevent yellowing.
When washing, never use hot water or
anything stronger than a mild soap. Never
use solvents such as alcohol or harsh
cleaning agents.
Always rinse thoroughly with cold water,
then wipe with a soft and slightly moist,
clean cloth.
When removing frost, snow or ice, never
use a scraper or de-icing chemicals. Use
warm water only if you must clean the
window quickly.
Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from
off-road driving will have an impact on
plastic retainer operation. Even normal
on-road driving and vehicle washing will
eventually impact window plastic retainer
operation. To maintain ease of use of the
window plastic retainers, each window
plastic retainer should be cleaned and
lubricated regularly. Clean them with a
mild soap solution and a small brush.
Cleaning products are available through
an authorized dealer.
Never paste stickers, gummed labels or
any tape to the windows. Adhesives are
hard to remove and may damage the
windows.
INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol -
stery and carpeting.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
Do not use pure windshield washer fluid
for cleaning the front windshield and
rear window; dilute it min. 50% with
water. Only use pure windshield washer
fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
