3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn
clockwise until the jack head is properly engaged in
the described location. Do not raise the vehicle until
you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise, using the swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only until
the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the compact spare tire.
Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the wheel by hand.
Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off
the hub.
6. Install the inflatable spare on the vehicle, located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle.

Mounting Inflatable Spare Tire

NOTE:
Do not install the wheel cover on the inflatable spare tire.
7. Leave the vehicle on the jack and start inflating the inflatable spare after the tire has been mounted to
the vehicle. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening
the nuts with the wrench. After inflation, once the
vehicle is lowered you will have a second opportunity
to “torque” the lug nuts
Úpage 235. 8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure 60 psi
(4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air Compressor
Úpage 179 or Tire Service Kit if equipped Úpage 180.
9. Lower the vehicle once the inflatable Spare has reached its pressure and the compressor-hose has
been removed from the tire valve.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until
each nut has been tightened twice
Úpage 235.
If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an authorized
dealer or at a service station.
11. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
12. Place the deflated (flat) tire and foam tray cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the
deflated tire in the inflatable spare tire location. Have
the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as
possible.WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in serious injury.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if
the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard
stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.

ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers

1. Mount the road tire on the axle.

2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting
studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install
the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

Tire And Wheel Cover Or Center Cap

3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping the
cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or
excessive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten all the lug nuts
until the wheel sits flush onto the hub and there is no play.
The nuts will have to be fully tightened once the vehicle is
lowered. Tightening an improperly seated wheel under
vehicle load can damage the threads, cause vibration, and
undermine safety.

5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.

6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has
been tightened twice. Details for proper wheel lug nut
torque

page 235. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench
by an authorized dealer or at a service station.

7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are
properly seated against the wheel.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE207
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Special Additives

The manufacturer strongly recommends against using any
special additives in the transmission. Automatic Transmission
Fluid (ATF) is an engineered product and its performance may
be impaired by supplemental additives. Therefore, do not
add any fluid additives to the transmission. Avoid using
transmission sealers as they may adversely affect seals.

Fluid Level Check

The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not require
adjustment under normal operating conditions. Routine fluid
level checks are not required; therefore the transmission has
no dipstick. An authorized dealer can check your transmission
fluid level using special service tools. If you notice fluid leakage
or transmission malfunction, visit an authorized dealer
immediately to have the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an improper fluid level can cause
severe transmission damage.

Fluid And Filter Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at
the factory will provide satisfactory lubrication for the life
of the vehicle.
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required.
However, change the fluid and filter if the fluid becomes
contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the transmission is
disassembled for any reason.
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to
ensure optimum transmission performance and life.
Use only the manufacturer specified transmission fluid
Úpage 239. It is important to maintain the transmission
fluid at the correct level using the recommended fluid.
NOTE:No chemical flushes should be used in any transmission;
only the approved lubricant should be used.

Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing the
brake fluid to catch fire. Brake fluid can also damage
painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to
avoid its contact with these surfaces.
 Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be
damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure.
This could result in a collision.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the
chemicals can damage your transmission components.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an authorized
dealer immediately. Severe transmission damage may
occur. An authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than manufacturer
recommended fluid may cause deterioration in
transmission shift quality and/or torque converter

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.

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.
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.
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.
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).
