TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)
The VIN is on the left front corner of the instrument 
panel and is visible from outside of the vehicle 
through the windshield.
Vehicle Identification Number
NOTE:It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake 
systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems lose 
normal capability, the remaining system will still 
function. However, there will be some loss of 
overall braking effectiveness. You may notice 
increased pedal travel during application, greater 
pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential 
activation of the Brake Warning Light.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e., 
repeated brake applications with the engine off) 
the brakes will still function. However, the effort 
required to brake the vehicle will be much greater 
than that required with the power system 
operating.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to 
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to the 
vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed and 
reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/bolts 
should be torqued using a properly calibrated 
torque wrench using a six-sided (hex) deep wall 
socket.
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
**Use only authorized dealer recommended lug 
nuts/bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil 
before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to 
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion or 
loose particles.

Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until 
each nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure 
that the socket is fully engaged on the lug nut/bolt 
(do not insert it halfway).
Torque Patterns
After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut/bolt 
torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are 
properly tightened.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 
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 a dealer immediately. Use of 
gasoline 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.
3.6L ENGINE   
Do not use E-85 flex fuel or ethanol blends greater 
than 15% in this engine. This engine is designed to meet all 
emissions regulations and provide 
optimum fuel economy and performance 
when using high quality unleaded regular 
gasoline having a posted octane number of 87 as 
specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use of 
higher octane premium gasoline is not required, as 
it will not provide any benefit over regular gasoline 
in these engines.
REFORMULATED GASOLINE     
Many areas of the country require the use of 
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as 
“reformulated gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline 
contains oxygenates and are specifically blended 
to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air 
quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is recommended. 
Properly blended reformulated gasoline will 
provide improved performance and durability of 
engine and fuel system components.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the 
jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully until 
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow 
this warning may result in personal injury.

362TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS  
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.
DO NOT USE E-85 IN NON-FLEX FUEL 
V
EHICLES
Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with 
gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E-15). Use 
of gasoline with higher ethanol content may void 
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with 
E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these 
symptoms:
Operate in a lean mode
OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on
Poor engine performance
Poor cold start and cold drivability
Increased risk for fuel system component 
corrosion
CNG AND LP FUEL SYSTEM 
M
ODIFICATIONS
Modifications that allow the engine to run on 
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid Propane 
(LP) may result in damage to the engine, 
emissions, and fuel system components. Problems 
that result from running CNG or LP are not the 
responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or 
not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited 
Warranty.
METHYLCYCLOPENTADIENYL 
M
ANGANESE TRICARBONYL (MMT) IN 
G
ASOLINE
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive 
that is blended into some gasoline to increase 
octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no 
performance advantage beyond gasoline of the 
same octane number without MMT. Gasoline 
blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and 
reduces emissions system performance in some 
vehicles. The manufacturer recommends that 
gasoline without MMT be used in your vehicle. The 
MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on 
the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your 
gasoline retailer whether the gasoline contains 
MMT. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California 
reformulated gasoline.
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).

MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL  
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper 
octane rating, gasolines that contain detergents, 
corrosion and stability additives are 
recommended. Using gasolines that have these 
additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce 
emissions, and maintain vehicle performance. Designated TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline contains a higher level of 
detergents to further aide in minimizing 
engine and fuel system deposits. When 
available, the usage of TOP TIER Detergent 
gasoline is recommended. Visit 
www.toptiergas.com for a list of TOP TIER 
Detergent Gasoline Retailers.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents 
should be avoided. Many of these materials 
intended for gum and varnish removal may contain 
active solvents or similar ingredients. These can 
harm fuel system gasket and diaphragm materials.
FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
NOTE:Intentional tampering with the emissions control 
system can result in civil penalties being assessed 
against you.
CAUTION!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your 
vehicle’s performance:
The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by 
Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can impair 
engine performance and damage the emis -
sions control system.
An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition 
malfunctions can cause the catalytic 
converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent 
burning odor or some light smoke, your engine 
may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may 
require immediate service. Contact an autho -
rized dealer for service assistance.
The use of fuel additives, which are now being 
sold as octane enhancers, is not recom -
mended. Most of these products contain high 
concentrations of methanol. Fuel system 
damage or vehicle performance problems 
resulting from the use of such fuels or addi -
tives is not the responsibility of the manufac-
turer and may void or not be covered under 
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
