WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing
warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.

where it can be raised on a lift.
Only use the jack in the positions indi -
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
To assure that spare tires, flat or

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
202
NOTE:
Never use a fast battery charger to start the
engine, as this could damage the electronic
systems of your vehicle, particularly the igni-
tion and engine fuel supply control units.
1. Apply the parking brake, shift the auto -
matic transmission into PARK and turn
the ignition OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnec -
essary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cable’s reach, apply the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.Jump Starting Procedure
NOTE:
Make sure at all times that unused ends of
jumper cables are not contacting each other
or either vehicle while making connections. Connecting The Jumper Cables
Jumper Cable Connections
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the
jumper cable to the remote positive (+)
post of the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-) of the
jumper cable to the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other
as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could
result.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged
vehicle.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
204
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, shift trans-
mission into NEUTRAL (N), but do not
increase engine idle speed.NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it
off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the A/C
off can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control
to maximum heat, the mode control to
floor and the blower control to high. This
allows the heater core to act as a supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
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 try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully
applying the parking brake before
activating the Manual Park Release. In
addition, you should be seated in the
driver’s seat with your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when activating the Manual
Park Release. Activating the Manual Park
Release will allow your vehicle to roll away
if it is not secured by the parking brake, or
by proper connection to a tow vehicle.
Activating the Manual Park Release on an
unsecured vehicle could lead to serious
injury or death for those in or around the
vehicle.

To push or tow the vehicle in cases where the
transmission will not shift out of PARK (P)
(such as a depleted battery), a Manual Park
Release is available.
Follow these steps to use the Manual Park
Release:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Using a small screwdriver, or similar tool,remove the manual park release cover,
located above the gear selector, to access
the release tether strap.
Manual Park Release Cover 3. Fish the tether strap up through the
opening in the console base.
Tether Strap
4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
5. Pull the tether strap up and to the left until the release lever locks into place in
the vertical position. The vehicle is now
out of PARK and can be moved. Release
the parking brake only when the vehicle
is securely connected to a tow vehicle. To Reset The Manual Park Release:
1. Pull upward on the tether strap, releasing
it from the “locked” position.
2. Lower the Manual Park Release lever downward and to the right, into its orig -
inal position.
3. Tuck the tether strap into the base of the console, and reinstall the cover.

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly using mild (neutral Ph)
soap and water to maintain their luster and
to prevent corrosion. Wash wheels with the
same soap solution recommended for the
body of the vehicle and remember to always
wash when the surfaces are not hot to the
touch.Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration
caused by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium
chloride, calcium chloride, etc., and other
road chemicals used to melt ice or control
dust on dirt roads. Use a soft cloth or sponge
and mild soap to wipe away promptly. Do not
use harsh chemicals or a stiff brush. They
can damage the wheel’s protective coating
that helps keep them from corroding and
tarnishing.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels
including excessive brake dust, care must be
taken in the selection of tire and wheel
cleaning chemicals and equipment to
prevent damage to the wheels. Select a
non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner for
aluminum or chrome wheels.
NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle
for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle
and apply the brakes to remove the water
droplets from the brake components. This
activity will remove the red rust on the brake
rotors and prevent vehicle vibration when
braking.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use
only. Installation of this limited use spare
tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire,
do not drive more than the speed listed on
the limited use spare wheel. Keep inflated
to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on
your Tire and Loading Information Placard
located on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the
rear edge of the driver’s side door. Replace
(or repair) the original equipment tire at
the first opportunity and reinstall it on your
vehicle. Failure to do so could result in
loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!

Avoid products or automatic car washes that
use acidic solutions or strong alkaline
additives or harsh brushes. Many aftermarket
wheel cleaners and automatic car washes
may damage the wheel's protective finish.
Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap
is recommended.

CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, metal polishes or oven
cleaner. These products may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. Only car wash soap is
recommended.
