– Headlamp washer pump Note:
After an accident, remember to
cycle the ignition to the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key
from the ignition switch to avoid draining
the battery. Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks in the engine compartment
and on the ground near the engine
compartment and fuel tank before
resetting the system and starting the
engine. If there are no fuel leaks or
damage to the vehicle electrical devices
(e.g. headlights) after an accident, reset
the system by following the procedure
described below. If you have any doubt,
please see an authorized dealer.Enhanced Accident Response
System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the system
is active, a message regarding fuel cutoff
is displayed. Turn the ignition switch from
ignition AVV/START or MAR/ACC/ON/
RUN to ignition STOP/OFF/LOCK.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks
in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment and
fuel tank before resetting the system and
starting the engine.

left and right turn signal lights, located in
the instrument panel, may both be blinking
and will continue to blink. In order to move
your vehicle to the side of the road, you
must follow the system reset procedure.

Warning!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open
or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the MIL to
turn on.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped
into a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground while filling.
Note: If the filler compartment is
washed with a pressure washer, keep it at
a distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm).
VEHICLE LOADING
Certification Label
As required by National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration regulations, your
vehicle has a certification label affixed to
the driver's side door or pillar.
This label contains the month and year of
manufacture, Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) front and rear, and
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
A Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is
included on this label and indicates the
Month, Day and Hour of manufacture.
The bar code that appears on the bottom
of the label is your VIN.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total permissible
weight of your vehicle including driver,
passengers, vehicle, options and cargo.
The label also specifies maximum
capacities of front and rear axle systems
(GAWR). Total load must be limited so
GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not
exceeded.
Payload
The payload of a vehicle is defined as the
allowable load weight a truck can carry,
including the weight of the driver, all
passengers, options and cargo.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum permissible
load on the front and rear axles. The load
must be distributed in the cargo area so
that the GAWR of each axle is not
exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the
components in the system with the
lowest load carrying capacity (axle,
springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or
suspension components sometimes
specified by purchasers for increased
durability does not necessarily increase
the vehicle's GVWR.
Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification
Label represents the actual tire size on
your vehicle. Replacement tires must be
equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for
the tire size listed.
Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for
your vehicle for all loading conditions up
to full GAWR.

STARTING AND OPERATING

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine is designed
to meet all emission
regulations, and provide
satisfactory fuel
economy and
performance when using
high-quality unleaded
“Regular” gasoline
having a posted octane number of 87 as
specified by the (R+M)/2 method. For
optimal performance the use of 91 or
higher octane “Premium” gasoline is
recommended in these engines.
While operating on gasoline with the
required octane number, hearing a light
knocking sound from the engine is not a
cause for concern. However, if the engine
is heard making a heavy knocking sound,
see your dealer immediately. Use of
gasoline with a lower than recommended
octane number can cause engine failure
and may void or not be covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and
hesitations. If you experience these
symptoms, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
Reformulated Gasoline
Many areas of the country require the
use of cleaner burning gasoline referred
to as “Reformulated Gasoline”.
Reformulated gasoline contains
oxygenates and are specifically blended
to reduce vehicle emissions and improve
air quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is
recommended. Properly blended
reformulated gasoline will provide
improved performance and durability of
engine and fuel system components.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded
gasoline with oxygenates such as ethanol.
Caution!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more than
15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these blends
may result in starting and drivability
problems, damage critical fuel system
components, cause emissions to exceed the
applicable standard, and/or cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light” to illuminate.
Please observe pump labels as they should
clearly communicate if a fuel contains
greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
Problems that result from using gasoline
containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15)
or gasoline containing methanol are not the responsibility of the manufacturer
and may void or not be covered under
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CNG And LP Fuel System Modifications
Modifications that allow the engine to
run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or
liquid propane (LP) may result in damage
to the engine, emissions, and fuel system
components. Problems that result from
running CNG or LP are not the
responsibility of the manufacturer and
may void or not be covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
MMT In Gasoline
Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese
Tricarbonyl (MMT) is a manganese-
containing metallic additive that is
blended into some gasoline to increase
octane. Gasoline blended with MMT
provides no performance advantage
beyond gasoline of the same octane
number without MMT. Gasoline blended
with MMT reduces spark plug life and
reduces emissions system performance
in some vehicles. The manufacturer
recommends that gasoline without MMT
be used in your vehicle. The MMT content
of gasoline may not be indicated on the
gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask
your gasoline retailer whether the
gasoline contains MMT. MMT is
prohibited in Federal and California
reformulated gasoline.
