When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK. As an adde[...]

NEUTRAL In NEUTRAL, no power is transmitted from the engine to the drive axle. When the brakes are r eleased, the vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed).

This message appears in order to alert the driver[...]

• T ransmission shifting will be more noticeable when Autostick 威 is engaged.

This phenomenon occurs when there is a dif fer ence in the surface traction under th[...]

DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water mor e than a few inches/ millimeters deep will requir e extra caution to ensur e safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road or path[...]

CAUTION! • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water . Do not con- tinue to operate the vehicl[...]

P ARKING BRAKE The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Never use P ARK position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake.

If the A[...]

Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and it does not in any way damage the steering system. W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety ri[...]

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions by controlling hydrau- lic brake pressur e. This pr events wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. For more information about ABS, refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in Section 5. W ARNING! Th[...]

TCS (T raction Control System) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to pr ovide enhanced acceleration and stability . BAS (Brake Assist System) This system complements the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) by optimizi[...]

ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional contr ol and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. The ESP corrects for oversteering and understeering the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel. Engine power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or underste[...]

W ARNING! The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe,[...]

NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting-off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by momentarily depr essing the “ESP OFF” button. Once the situation requiring “Partial Of f” mode is overcome, turn the ESP ON again by momen- tarily depre[...]

NOTE: When the ESP is switched of f a featur e of the system remains active. This featur e contr ols wheel spin across an axle quite similarly to a limited slip dif fer ential. If one wheel on an axle is spinning faster than the other , the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel and allow more engine tor que to be applied to the wheel th[...]

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which [...]

T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pr essure is very important.

Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h). Refer to the paragraph on “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in Section 6. W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and [...]

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e should be r eplaced. Many states have laws requiring tir e r eplacement at this point.
