Service Engine Soon
If it illuminates when the engineis running, the on-boarddiagnostics system notifies youthat the emission control system requiresservice.
If it flashes, engine misfire may beoccurring. An increase in exhaust gastemperatures can damage the catalyticconverter or other vehicle components.Avoid heavy acceleration and decelerationand have your vehicle immediatelyserviced.
It illuminates when you switch the ignitionon prior to engine start to check the bulband to indicate whether your vehicle isready for Inspection and Maintenance(I/M) testing.
Normally, it illuminates until the engine iscranked and turns off if no malfunctionsare present. However, if after 15 secondsit flashes eight times, this indicates thatyour vehicle is not ready for inspection andmaintenance (I/M) testing.
See Catalytic Converter (page 118).

1.When your vehicle has stopped, shiftinto neutral (N) or park (P).
2.Apply the parking brake and switch theignition off.
3.Turn the fuel filler capcounterclockwise and remove it.
4.Refuel your vehicle as required.
5.Replace the fuel filler cap, turn itclockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warningmessage appears in the instrument cluster,you may not have installed the fuel fillercap correctly.
If the fuel cap warning lamp remains on,at the next opportunity, safely pull off ofthe road, remove the fuel filler cap, alignthe cap properly and reinstall it. The checkfuel cap warning lamp or warning messagemay not reset immediately. It may takeseveral driving cycles for the indicators toturn off. A driving cycle consists of anengine start-up (after four or more hourswith the engine off) followed by normalcity and highway driving.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The advertised capacity is the maximumamount of fuel that you can add to the fueltank after running out of fuel. Included inthe advertised capacity is an emptyreserve. The empty reserve is anunspecified amount of fuel that remainsin the fuel tank when the fuel gaugeindicates empty.
Note:The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Turn the ignition off before fueling; aninaccurate reading results if the engineis left running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than one automaticshut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this isyour engine’s break-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequencyof fill ups or fuel gauge readings are notaccurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the fuel tank, recordthe amount of fuel added.
3.After at least three fill ups, fill the fueltank and record the current odometerreading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply theliters used by 100, then divide by kilometerstraveled. To calculate MPG (miles pergallon) fuel consumption, divide milestraveled by gallons used.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING: Apply the parkingbrake, shift into park (P), switch theignition off and remove the key beforeyou leave your vehicle. Failure to followthis instruction could result in personalinjury or death.
WARNING: Do not apply the brakepedal and accelerator pedalsimultaneously. Applying both pedalssimultaneously for more than a fewseconds limits vehicle performance,which may result in difficulty maintainingspeed in traffic and could lead to seriousinjury.
Understanding the Shift Positionsof Your Automatic Transmission
6-Speed Transmissions
10-Speed Transmissions
Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
2.Move the gearshift lever into thepreferred gear.
3.When you finish driving, come to acomplete stop.
4.Move the gearshift lever and securelylatch it in park (P) or neutral (N).
The instrument cluster displays the currentgear.
Park (P)
If your transmission has a park (P) position,this position locks the transmission andprevents the rear wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), yourvehicle moves backward. Always come toa complete stop before shifting into andout of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), youcan start your vehicle and it is free to roll.Hold the brake pedal down when in thisposition.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position forthe best fuel economy. The overdrivefunction allows automatic upshifts anddownshifts through gears one through six.
Manual (M)
With the gearshift lever in manual (M), thedriver can change gears up or down aspreferred. By moving the gearshift leverfrom drive (D) to manual (M), you nowhave control of selecting the gear youprefer using the buttons on the shift lever.See Understanding Your SelectShiftAutomatic™ Transmission later in thissection.

To return to normal drive (D) position,move the shift lever back from manual (M)to drive (D).
The transmission operates in gears onethrough six.
Second (2)
The transmission operates in second (2)gear only. Use second (2) gear to just starton slippery roads.
First (1)
•The transmission operates in first (1)gear only.
•Provides maximum engine braking.
•Allows upshifts by moving gearshiftlever.
•Does not downshift into first (1) gearat high speeds; allows for first (1) gearwhen vehicle reaches slower speeds.
Forced downshifts
•Allowed in drive (D) with the tow/haulfeature on or off.
•Press the accelerator to the floor.
•Allows transmission to select anappropriate gear.
Tow/Haul Mode
To activate tow/haul, press thebutton on the gearshift leveronce. The TOW HAUL indicatorilluminates in the instrument cluster.
The tow/haul feature:
•Delays upshifts to reduce the frequencyof transmission shifting.
•Provides engine braking in all forwardgears, which slows your vehicle andassists you in controlling your vehiclewhen descending a grade.
•Depending on driving and loadconditions, could downshift thetransmission to slow your vehicle andhelp control your vehicle speed whendescending a hill, without pressing theaccelerator pedal. Tapping the brakepedal downshifts the transmission toprovide additional braking, only if thedownshift does not cause an engineoverspeed condition.
The tow/haul feature improvestransmission operation when towing atrailer or a heavy load. All transmissiongear ranges are available when usingtow/haul.
Note:Under certain conditions, theautomatic tow/haul feature engages, andthe TOW HAUL indicator illuminateswithout pressing the tow/haul button.
To deactivate the tow/haul feature andreturn to normal driving mode, press thebutton on the gearshift lever twice. TheTOW HAUL indicator turns off. Tow/haulalso deactivates when you power downyour vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use tow/haulwhen the road surface is slippery. Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use dieselengine exhaust braking when the roadsurface is slippery. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle.

With the gearshift lever in drive (D), pressthe (–) button to activate SelectShift. Theinstrument cluster indicates the availableand selected gears.
All available gears display with the currentgear indicated. Press the (–) button againto lock out gears beginning with the highestgear. For example, press the (–) buttontwice to lock out 6th and 5th gears. Onlythe available gears display, and thetransmission shifts between the availablegears. Press the (+) button to unlock gears.
By moving the gearshift lever from the drive(D) position to the manual (M) position,you could now manually select the gearyou prefer. Only the current gear displays.Press the (+) button or the (–) button toupshift or downshift. If you press the (–)button at a vehicle speed that would causean engine overspeed, the requested gearflashes, then disappears, and thetransmission remains in the current gear.
