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.

NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or driven
for at least 30 days, an Extended Park Start
Procedure is required to start the vehicle.

Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
BODYWORK
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!
Before removal of the positive and
negative terminals to the battery, wait at
least a minute with ignition switch in the
OFF position and close the driver’s door.
When reconnecting the positive and
negative terminals to the battery be sure
the ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the driver’s door is closed. 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.

The functions of the device are controlled
using the device buttons. The volume may
be controlled using the radio or device.
To route the audio cable out of the center
console, use the access cut out in the front
of the console.
USB Port
Connect your compatible device using a
USB cable into the USB Port. USB
Memory sticks with audio files can also be
used. Audio from the device can be played
on the vehicles sound system while
providing metadata (artist, track title,
