STEERING
 CAUTION!
Water, ice and salt spread on the roads may deposit on the brake discs, reducing braking efficiency the first time the brakes are applied.
To obtain the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 300 miles (500 km) is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This  engine  is  designed  to  meet  all
emission  regulations,  and  provide
satisfactory  fuel  economy  and
performance  when  using
high-quality  unleaded  “Regular”  gasoline
having a posted octane number of 87 as spec -
ified  by  the  (R+M)/2 method.  For  optimal
performance  the  use  of  91  or  higher  octane
“Premium” gasoline is recommended in these
engines.
While operating on  gasoline  with the required
octane  number,  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  gaso -
line  with  a  lower  than  recommended  octane
number can cause engine failure and may void
or not be covered by the New  Vehicle Limited
Warranty. Poor  quality  gasoline  can  cause  problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations.
If you experience these symptoms, try another
brand  of  gasoline  before  considering  service
for the vehicle.
Reformulated Gasoline 
Many  areas  of  the  country  require  the  use  of
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as “refor
-
mulated  gasoline”.  Reformulated  gasoline
contains  oxygenates  and  are  specifically
blended  to  reduce  vehicle  emissions  and
improve air quality.
The  use  of  reformulated  gasoline  is  recom -
mended. Properly blended reformulated gaso -
line  will  provide  improved  performance  and
durability  of  engine  and  fuel  system  compo -
nents.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends 
Some  fuel  suppliers  blend  unleaded  gasoline
with oxygenates such as ethanol. Problems  that  result  from  using  gasoline
containing  more  than  15%  ethanol  (E-15)  or
gasoline  containing  methanol  are  not  the
responsibility  of  the  manufacturer  and  may
void  or  not  be  covered  under  New  Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

1. If special equipment is fitted the empty weight will increase and consequently the payload will decrease in relation to the maximum permitted loads.
2. Loads not to be exceeded. The user is responsible for arranging goods in the luggage compartment and/or on the load platform within the maximum permitted loads.
Weights (lbs)2.9L engine
 CAUTION!
DO  NOT  use  E-85,  gasoline  containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more than
15%  ethanol  (E-15).  Use  of  these  blends
may  result  in  starting  and  drivability
problems,  damage  critical  fuel  system
components,  cause  emissions  to  exceed
the  applicable  standard,  and/or  cause  the
Malfunction  Indicator  Light  to  illuminate.
Please observe pump labels as they should
clearly  communicate  if  a  fuel  contains
greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
