WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are serious or fatal to
you, your passengers, and others around you:
• Before operating the power top, make sure that no moving parts of the con-
vertible top can injure a person or animal.
•Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the convertible top compo-
nents, the upper windshield area, the shelf area behind the rear seats, or the
convertible top stowage area while raising or lowering the convertible top.
• When using the power top button on RKE transmitter, if potential danger
exists while lowering the top, release the button immediately to interrupt the
operation.
• Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top completely closed and latched
or fully lowered into its stowage compartment.

sons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not
leave the Key Fob in the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child

of the hose.
3. Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the
Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power
outlet.
6. Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting TIREFIT Sealant Into The Deflated Tire:
• Always start the engine before turning ON the TIREFIT kit.
NOTE:Manual transmission vehicles must have the parking brake engaged and the shift lever inNEUTRAL.
• After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white fluid) will flow from the
Sealant Bottle (1) through the Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.
NOTE:Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
•If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 – 10seconds
through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn Off the TIREFIT kit. Disconnect the Sealant

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT)
engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Ad-
ditive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally com-
patible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is intro-
duced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need
to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to
MS-12106), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
• This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based en-
gine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti-
freeze) is not recommended.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such
as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and
E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message is displayed. Severe
operating conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) ortwelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and
off road environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and trans-
mission as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required mainte-
nance.
At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:
•Change oil and filter.
• Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before theoil indicator system turns on.
•Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
•Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
•Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
•Inspect exhaust system.
•Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
