FRONT PARKING AID AUDIBLEWARNINGS
A warning tone sounds when there is anobject within 28 in (70 cm) from the frontbumper. As your vehicle moves closer to anobject, the rate of the tone increases.
The warning tone continuously sounds whenan object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from thefront bumper.
Note:If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)or less from your vehicle, visual indicationremains on.
SIDE PARKING AID
WHAT IS THE SIDE PARKING AID
The front and rear outermost parking aidsensors map objects that are near to thesides of your vehicle.
SIDE PARKING AID LIMITATIONS
The sensor coverage is up to 24 in (60 cm)from the sides of your vehicle.
The side parking aid may not function if:
•Your vehicle remains stationary for overtwo minutes.
•The anti-lock brake system activates.
•The traction control system activates.
•Your vehicle is in park (P).
•The steering wheel angle information isnot available. You must drive at least492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph (30 km/h) toreset the steering wheel angleinformation.
Note:If you switch traction control off, theside sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the length ofyour vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect anobject that is moving toward the side of yourvehicle, for example another vehicle movingat a low speed, if it does not pass a front orrear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the sidesensing system provides audible warnings.When your vehicle is moving slowly,obstacles are detected within 24 in (60 cm)and are inside the driving path of yourvehicle. If your vehicle remains stationary fora few seconds, the audible warning turns off.Visual indication is always present in reverse(R).
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the sidesensing system provides visual indicationonly when your vehicle is moving slowly andthere is a front or rear parking aid obstacledetected, and the side obstacle is within24 in (60 cm) from the side of your vehicle.If your vehicle remains stationary for a fewseconds, the visual indication turns off.
If the transmission is in drive (D) or any otherforward gear, the side sensing systemprovides audible and visual warnings. Whenyour vehicle is moving slowly, obstacles aredetected within 24 in (60 cm) and are insidethe driving path of your vehicle. If yourvehicle remains stationary for a few seconds,the visual indication and audible warningturns off.

ENGINE OIL CAPACITY ANDSPECIFICATION
For filling information, please refer to theCapacities and Specifications section of yourowner's manual. See Engine Oil Capacityand Specification (page 469).
CHECKING THE COOLANT
When the engine is cold, check theconcentration and level of the coolant at theintervals listed in the scheduled maintenanceinformation. See Scheduled Maintenance(page 529).
Note:Make sure that the coolant level isbetween the minimum and maximum markson the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark.
If the coolant level is at or below theminimum mark, add prediluted coolantimmediately.
Maintain coolant concentration within 48%to 50%, which equates to a freeze pointbetween -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F (-37°C).Coolant concentration should be checkedusing a refractometer. We do not recommendthe use of hydrometers or coolant test stripsfor measuring coolant concentration.

Fail-Safe Cooling
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarilydrive your vehicle before any incrementalcomponent damage occurs. The fail-safedistance depends on ambient temperature,vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
WARNING: If you continue to driveyour vehicle when the engine isoverheating, the engine could stop withoutwarning. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in the loss of control of yourvehicle.
If the engine begins to overheat,the coolant temperature gaugemoves toward the red zone:
A warning lamp illuminates and amessage may appear in theinformation display.
If the engine reaches a presetover-temperature condition, the engineautomatically switches to alternating cylinderoperation. Each disabled cylinder acts as anair pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs, your vehicle still operates,however:
•Engine power is limited.
•The air conditioning system turns off.
Continued operation increases the enginetemperature, causing the engine tocompletely shut down. Your steering andbraking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, you canre-start the engine. Have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible to minimizeengine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNING: Fail-safe mode is for useduring emergencies only. Operate yourvehicle in fail-safe mode only as long asnecessary to bring your vehicle to rest ina safe location and seek immediate repairs.When in fail-safe mode, your vehicle willhave limited power, will not be able tomaintain high-speed operation, and maycompletely shut down without warning,potentially losing engine power, powersteering assist, and power brake assist,which may increase the possibility of acrash resulting in serious injury.
WARNING: Do not remove thecoolant reservoir cap when the engine ison or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10minutes for the cooling system to cooldown. Cover the coolant reservoir cap witha thick cloth to prevent the possibility ofscalding and slowly remove the cap.Failure to follow this instruction could resultin personal injury.

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep thetop of the battery clean and dry and thebattery cables tightly fastened to the batteryterminals. If any corrosion is present on thebattery or terminals, remove the cables fromthe terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the acid with a solutionof baking soda and water.
We recommend that you disconnect thenegative battery cable terminal from thebattery if you plan to store your vehicle foran extended period.
Note:If you only disconnect the negativebattery cable terminal, make sure it isisolated or placed away from the batteryterminal to avoid unintended connection orarcing.
If you replace the battery make sure itmatches the electrical requirements of yourvehicle.
If you disconnect or replace the battery andyour vehicle has an automatic transmission,it must relearn its adaptive strategy. Becauseof this, the transmission may shift firmly whenfirst driven. This is normal operation whilethe transmission fully updates its operationto optimum shift feel.
Battery Sensor Reset
When you install a new battery, reset thebattery sensor by doing the following:
1.Switch the ignition on, and leave theengine off.
Note:Complete Steps 2 and 3 within 10seconds.
2.Flash the high beam headlamps fivetimes, ending with the high beams off.
3.Press and release the brake pedal threetimes.
The battery warning lamp flashes three timesto confirm that the reset is successful.
Battery Management System (If Equipped)
The system monitors battery conditions andtakes actions to extend battery life. Ifexcessive battery drain is detected, thesystem temporarily disables some electricalsystems to protect the battery.
Systems included are:
•Heated rear window.
•Heated seats.
•Climate control.
•Heated steering wheel.
•Audio unit.
•Navigation system.
A message may appear in the informationdisplay to alert you that battery protectionactions are active. This message is only fornotification that an action is taking place, andnot intended to indicate an electrical problemor that the battery requires replacement.
