isymbol. It is on the lower left
side of the instrument panel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle and locate the secondary release lever
under the front center of the hood.
Push the secondary hood release
lever to the right to release.
3. After you have partially lifted the hood, the gas strut system will
automatically lift the hood and
hold it in the fully open position.
To close the hood: 1. Before closing the hood, be sure all filler caps are on properly, and all
tools are removed.
2. Pull the hood down until the strut system is no longer holding up
the hood. 3. Lower the hood 20 cm (8 in) above
the vehicle. Allow the hood to fall.
Check to make sure the hood is
latched completely. Repeat this
process with additional force if
necessary.
{Warning

is not latched completely. The hood
could open fully, block your vision,
and cause a crash. You or others
could be injured. Always close the
hood completely before driving.
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
will display a message if the hood is
not fully closed.

Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine performance
and long life, careful attention must
be paid to engine oil. Following these
simple, but important steps will help
protect your investment:
.Use engine oil approved to the
proper specification and of the
proper viscosity grade. See
“Selecting the Right Engine Oil” in
this section.
.Check the engine oil level regularly
and maintain the proper oil level.
See “Checking Engine Oil” and
“When to Add Engine Oil” in this
section.
.Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine Oil Life
System 0338.
.Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with Used
Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly,
every 650 km (400 mi), especially prior
to a long trip. The engine oil dipstick
handle is a loop. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0331 for the
location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle may
be hot; it could burn you. Use a
towel or glove to touch the dipstick
handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Center
(DIC) message displays, check the oil
level.
Follow these guidelines:
.To get an accurate reading, park the
vehicle on level ground. Check the
engine oil level after the engine has
been off for at least two hours.
Checking the engine oil level on
steep grades or too soon after
engine shutoff can result in
incorrect readings. Accuracy improves when checking a cold
engine prior to starting. Remove the
dipstick and check the level.
.If unable to wait two hours, the
engine must be off for at least
15 minutes if the engine is warm,
or at least 30 minutes if the engine
is not warm. Pull out the dipstick,
wipe it with a clean paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the
way. Remove it again, keeping the
tip down, and check the level.

2.0L L4 Engine
Automatic Coolant Service Fill
Instructions
The vehicle is equipped with a service
feature that assists with filling and
removing air from the cooling system
after service of components or when
coolant is added after being too low.
To use the service feature:
1. With a cold system, add coolant tothe indicated line on the
surge tank.
2. Replace the pressure cap on the surge tank. To activate the service feature:
1. Connect the vehicle to a battery charger.
2. Turn the ignition on. See Ignition
Positions 0238.
3. Turn off the air conditioning.
4. Set the parking brake.
5. At the same time, press the accelerator and the brake pedal for
two seconds, then release.
6. At the end of the cycle, check the coolant level in the surge tank and
add coolant if it is below the
indicated line. Turn the ignition
off, allow the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) to go to sleep, about
two minutes, and repeat Steps 2–6.
Listen for pump activation and
movement of the control valves while
watching the level of the coolant in
the surge tank. If the tank empties,
turn the ignition off, carefully remove
the pressure cap, refill to the indicated
line, replace the pressure cap, and
repeat Steps 2–6.
The fill and air removal process will
run for approximately 15 minutes.
Caution
If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and engine
damage may occur. Be sure the cap
is properly and tightly secured.
3.0L V6 Engine and 6.2L
V8 Engine
1. Remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant surge
tank pressure cap and upper
radiator hose, is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise. If you hear a
hiss, wait for that to stop. This will
allow any pressure still left to be
vented out the discharge hose.
2. Keep turning the pressure cap slowly and remove it.

Replacing a Blown Fuse
1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Locate the fuse puller in the enginecompartment fuse block.
3. Use the fuse puller to remove thefuse from the top or side, as shown
above. 4. If the fuse must be replaced
immediately, borrow a replacement
fuse with the same amperage from
the fuse block. Choose a vehicle
feature that is not needed to safely
operate the vehicle. Repeat
Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your
dealer to replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away if
the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop. Wiper function is
available immediately after the wiper
switch is set to off, and back to on.
