The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine. W [...]

Use each gear in numerical order , do not skip a gear . Be sure the transmission is in first gear , (not third), when starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch can result from starting in a gear higher than first gear . CAUTION! • Launching in any gear except 1st gear will result in excessive slipping of the clutch and potentially l[...]

Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a complete stop. NOTE: During cold weather , until the transmission lu- bricant is warm, you may experience slightly higher shift efforts. This is normal and not harmful to the transmis- sion. Recommended Shift Speeds T o use your manual transmission for optimal fuel economy , it should be upsh[...]

CAUTION! If you skip a gear while downshifting or downshift at too high of a vehicle speed, these conditions may cause the engine to overspeed if too low of a gear is selected and the clutch pedal is released.

Once the key is removed, the shift lever is lock[...]

Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requir es the transmission to be in P ARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the OFF position. The key can only be r emoved fr om the ignition when the ignition is in the OFF position, and once removed the transmission is locked in P ARK. NOTE: [...]

Only shift from DRIVE to P ARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these gears. The transmission shift lever has only P ARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions. Manual shifts can be made using the Autostick® shift control (refer to[...]

W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake.

NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold. P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the [...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to shift out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idli[...]

Driving In Snow, Mud And Sand There is a drastic reduction in traction when driving in snow , mud or sand. The vehicle will be less responsive to steering, acceleration and braking inputs. Therefore, you should accelerate slowly , leave greater stopping distances and avoid abrupt vehicle maneuvers. Y ou want to keep a slow constant steady pace. The[...]

The key to driving in soft sand is usin[...]

Before Climbing A Steep Hill As you approach a hill consider its grade or steepness. Determine if it is too steep. Look to see what the traction is on the hill side trail.

That way you can get any problems taken care of right away and [...]

W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. Y ou might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent a collision. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary . • If you experience unusual vibration after driving[...]

W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible. Damage to t[...]

If necessary , add fluid to restor e to the proper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces.

W ARNING! (Continued) • Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision. • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave an automatic trans- mission in P ARK, a manual transmission in [...]

If either of the two hydraulic systems lose normal capa- bility , the remaining system will still function with some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This will be evident by increased pedal travel during application and greater pedal force required to slow or stop. In addition, if the malfunction is caused by an internal leak, as the brake fl[...]

W ARNING!

W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure.

This can cause unpredict- able handling and stress to steeri[...]

TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS The tires on the fr ont and rear of your vehicle operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates. These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggressive tre[...]

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ir e Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tir e pr essure based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pressure.
