CHECKING OIL LEVEL — 3.0L ENGINES
The 3.0L engine does not have a traditional “dipstick” and
there is no need to manually check the oil level. If it is
desired to check engine oil level, it can be seen on the
instrument cluster display by navigating to the appropriate
screen under “Vehicle Information”. Use the up or
down arrow buttons within the steering wheel controls
to find the “Vehicle Information” menu. Then use the
right or left arrow buttons until you reach the “Oil
Level” sub-menu.
There is a white bar on the gauge which shows the oil level.
As long as the oil level is between the minimum and the
maximum it is safe to operate the vehicle. If the oil level is
either too high or too low, a red bar will be illuminated.
When the engine is in need of more oil, the Oil Level
Warning Light will illuminate. This warning will appear for
five seconds. Within the next 300 miles (500 km) you
should add 1 quart of manufacturer specified motor oil to
the engine
Úpage 376. This light will reappear every time the engine is started
until a safe level is detected. Continuing to operate the
vehicle without adding oil may result in a critically low oil
level and possible engine damage (see “Critically Low”
below).
NOTE:Use care when filling under hood fluids such as engine oil,
washer fluid, antifreeze, etc. to minimize spillage onto top
of engine. Any excess fluid that is spilled onto the top of
the engine should be removed using compressed air or an
absorbent cloth.
Oil Level Display - How To Refresh After Adding Oil
In vehicles equipped with the 3.0L engine, the oil level is
automatically monitored when the vehicle is parked on a
level surface, the oil is warm, and the engine has been off
four minutes. To refresh the oil level display (after a quart
of the correct oil has been added), follow this process:

Run the engine until the oil temperature is above
120°F (49°C).
 Park the vehicle on relatively level ground. 
Turn the engine off and wait four minutes. If you choose
to stay in the vehicle and want to listen to the radio
while waiting, it is acceptable to have the ignition
switch in any position (OFF or ON/RUN) as long as the
engine is not running.
 Start the engine and the new oil level will be available
in the Vehicle Information menu (accessible via the
navigation buttons on the steering wheel).
NOTE:
If the level indication is not updated after the previously
described procedure, repeat. The oil level measure -
ment is made every time the engine has been turned
off (after being warmed up) and on a level surface. If
you do not get a “new” reading after adding oil, find a
more “level” surface to measure. Most parking lots and
gas stations are sufficiently level, some driveways are
not.
 If you have added a quart of oil and the indicator is not
reading 3/4 or full, please contact an authorized dealer
for service.

WARNING!
Be aware the oil cap may be hot. Please use suitable
gloves. WARNING: risk of burns!
CAUTION!
Do not to add too much oil. Overfilling the oil may
damage the engine.

Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for
wear and correct cold tire inflation pressures. The
manufacturer strongly recommends using tires equivalent
to the originals in size, quality and performance when
replacement is needed. For more information
Úpage 359. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information
placard or the Vehicle Certification Label for the size
designation of your tire. The Load Index and Speed Symbol
for your tire will be found on the original equipment tire
sidewall.
For more information relating to the Load Index and Speed
Symbol of a tire
Úpage 350.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear
tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect
your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the
original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire dealer or
original equipment dealer with any questions you may
have on tire specifications or capability. Failure to use
equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the
safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
TIRE TYPES
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons (Spring,
Summer, Autumn, and Winter). Traction levels may vary
between different all season tires. All Season tires can be
identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or MS designation on the
tire sidewall. Use All Season tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires —
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in snow or on
ice. If your vehicle is equipped with Summer tires, be
aware these tires are not designed for Winter or cold
driving conditions. Install Winter tires on your vehicle when
ambient temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if
roads are covered with ice or snow. For more information,
contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designation or
mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall. Use
Summer tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
WARNING!
 Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or speed
rating other than that specified for your vehicle.
Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels
may change suspension dimensions and perfor -
mance characteristics, resulting in changes to
steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle. This
can cause unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension components. You could
lose control and have a collision resulting in serious
injury or death. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with
load ratings approved for your vehicle.
 Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity,
other than what was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load index could
result in tire overloading and failure. You could lose
control and have a collision.
 Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may
result in false speedometer and odometer readings.WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You
could lose vehicle control, resulting in severe injury or
death. Driving too fast for conditions also creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE361
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires
during the Winter. Snow tires can be identified by a
mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in
size and type to the original equipment tires.
Use snow tires only in sets of four; failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what
was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not
be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/
h). For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to original
equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended
safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation
pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid and
traction capability on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer
than that of non-studded tires. Some states prohibit
studded tires; therefore, local laws should be checked
before using these tire types.
SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit instead of a
spare tire, please refer to “Tire Service Kit” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
For restrictions when towing with a spare tire designated
for temporary emergency use
Úpage 186.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire
And Wheel — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel
equivalent in look and function to the original equipment
tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle. This spare tire may be used in the tire rotation for
your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option, refer to an
authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation
pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only.
You can identify if your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire
And Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s
side door opening or on the sidewall of the tire. Compact
spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or “S”
preceding the size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment
tire should be repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled on
your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a
conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the
wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire.
Do not install more than one compact spare tire and wheel
on the vehicle at any given time.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take
your vehicle through an automatic car wash with a
compact or limited use temporary spare installed.
Damage to the vehicle may result.
WARNING!
Compact and collapsible spares are for temporary
emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive
more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the
tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire
needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings,
which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result
in spare tire failure and loss of vehicle control.8
