antenna, StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
Clock
The time and date for the clock can be
set using the infotainment system. See
“Time/Date”in “System ”under
“Settings ”in the infotainment manual.
Power Outlets
Power Outlets 12-Volt Direct Current
The vehicle has two 12-volt outlets
that can be used to plug in electrical
equipment, such as a cell phone or
MP3 player.
The power outlets are located:
.
Under the front of the center
console.
. In the rear cargo area.
Lift the cover to access the outlet and
replace when not in use.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the rear
cargo power outlet. Do not leave
electrical equipment plugged in
when the vehicle is not in use
because the vehicle could catch fire
and cause injury or death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment
plugged in for an extended period
of time while the ignition is in
LOCK/OFF will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the
maximum 15 ampere rating.
Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power
outlet and could overload vehicle and
adapter fuses. If a problem is
experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0256.

if equipped:1. Undo the two fasteners on the bottom surface by turning them
counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the lower edge of the cover to about a 45 degree angle.
3. Pull the cover downward to disengage the upper
attachments.
To reinstall the hitch cover: 1. Hold the cover at a 45 degree angle to the vehicle and push the
upper tabs into the slots in the
bumper.
2. Push the bottom of the cover forward until the holes on the
cover line up with the holes on
the bumper.
3. Snap the hitch cover into place by pushing the upper corners
forward.
4. Reinstall the two fasteners on the lower surface by turning
clockwise. Consider using mechanical sway
controls with any trailer. Ask a
trailering professional about sway
controls or refer to the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
Adjustment
A weight-distributing hitch may be
useful with some trailers.
1. Front of Vehicle
2. Body to Ground Distance
When using a weight-distributing
hitch, measure the front fender height
above the front axle distance (2) before and after connecting the trailer.
Adjust the spring bars until the front
fender height distance (2) is
approximately halfway between the
first and second measurements.
Tires
.
Do not tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tire on the vehicle.
. Tires must be properly inflated to
support loads while towing a
trailer. See Tires0289 for
instructions on proper tire
inflation.
Safety Chains
Always attach chains between the
vehicle and the trailer, and attach the
chains to the holes on the trailer hitch
platform. Instructions about safety
chains may be provided by the hitch
manufacturer or by the trailer
manufacturer.
Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer to help prevent
the tongue from contacting the road if
it becomes separated from the hitch.

water and DEX-COOL coolant. Be sure
the cooling system is cool before this
is done. SeeEngine Overheating 0272.
The coolant surge tank is located in
the engine compartment on the driver
side of the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0263.
How to Add Coolant to the
Surge Tank
{Warning
Spilling coolant on hot engine parts
can burn you. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol and it will burn if
the engine parts are hot enough.
{Warning
Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system are under
pressure. Turning the pressure cap,
even a little, can cause them to
come out at high speed and you
could be burned. Never turn the cap
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
when the cooling system, including
the pressure cap, is hot. Wait for
the cooling system and pressure
cap to cool.
Caution
Failure to follow the specific
coolant fill procedure could cause
the engine to overheat and could
cause system damage. If coolant is
not visible in the surge tank,
contact your dealer.
The coolant surge tank pressure cap
can be removed when the cooling
system, including the surge tank
pressure cap and upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot.
1. Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise. If a hiss is
heard, wait for that to stop.
A hiss means there is still some
pressure left.
2. Keep turning the pressure cap slowly and remove it.

injury and vehicle damage, be sure
to fit the jack lift head into the
proper location before raising the
vehicle.
{Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the appropriate
safety equipment and training. If a
jack is provided with the vehicle, it
is designed only for changing a flat
tire. If it is used for anything else,
you or others could be badly injured
or killed if the vehicle slips off the
jack. If a jack is provided with the
vehicle, only use it for changing a
flat tire.
Caution
Using a jack to raise the vehicle
without positioning it correctly
could damage your vehicle. When
raising your vehicle on a jack, be
sure to position it correctly under
the frame and avoid contact with
the plastic molding.
5. Turn the wheel wrench clockwiseto raise the jack lift head until
the slots in the jack head fit into the metal flange behind the cut

{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause a crash. When
changing a wheel, remove any rust
or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, a cloth or a paper towel
can be used; however, use a scraper
or wire brush later to remove all
rust or dirt.
10. Remove any rust or dirt from thewheel bolts, mounting surfaces,
and spare wheel.
11. Place the compact spare tire on the wheel-mounting surface.
{Warning
Never use oil or grease on bolts or
nuts because the nuts might come
loose. The vehicle's wheel could fall
off, causing a crash.
12. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Tighten each nut by hand until the wheel
is held against the hub.
13. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
{Warning
Wheel nuts that are improperly or
incorrectly tightened can cause the
wheels to become loose or come off.
The wheel nuts should be tightened
with a torque wrench to the proper

Warning (Continued)
torque specification after replacing.
Follow the torque specification
supplied by the aftermarket
manufacturer when using accessory
locking wheel nuts. See Capacities
and Specifications 0347 for original
equipment wheel nut torque
specifications.
Caution
Improperly tightened wheel nuts
can lead to brake pulsation and
rotor damage. To avoid expensive
brake repairs, evenly tighten the
wheel nuts in the proper sequence
and to the proper torque
specification. See Capacities and
Specifications 0347 for the wheel
nut torque specification.
