Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions
on the proper use of the jack.MaintenanceMake sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
Never modify the jack.
Conditions Of Non-Use:
Temperatures below −40°C.
On sandy or muddy ground.
On uneven ground.
On steep roads.
In extreme weather conditions: thunder -
storms, typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards,
storms, etc.
NOTE:
The jack requires no adjustment.
The jack cannot be repaired, and in the
event of a fault, it must be replaced by
another genuine one.
No tool other than its cranking device may
be fitted on the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause
injuries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never go under the raised
vehicle. If any work under the vehicle is
necessary, contact an authorized dealer.
Incorrect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Therefore raise the
vehicle only as much as necessary for the
wheel/spare.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand
or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, push and hold the lock button on
the gear selector. Then, shift back and forth
between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R), while
gently pressing the accelerator. Use the least
amount of accelerator pedal pressure that
will maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can
only be achieved at wheel speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h) or less. Whenever the
transmission remains in NEUTRAL (N) for
more than two seconds, you must press
the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or
REVERSE.
Push the “ESC OFF” switch, to place the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking the
vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control
System” in “Safety” in your Owner’s Manual for further details. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the “ESC
OFF” switch again to restore “ESC On”
mode.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. Allow the engine to idle with
the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini
-
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE/SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive -
train damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also
damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
CAUTION! (Continued)

Four–Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with
all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable
methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed
or with one end of the vehicle raised and the
opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available and the
transfer case is operable, the vehicle may be
towed (in the forward direction, with ALL
wheels on the ground), IF the transfer case is
in NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in
PARK (P). Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” for detailed
instructions.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the OFF mode.
The only approved method of towing without
the key fob is with a flatbed truck. Proper
towing equipment is necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle.
Tow Eye Usage
Your vehicle is equipped with a tow eye that
can be used to move a disabled vehicle.
When using a tow eye be sure to follow the
“Tow Eye Usage Precautions” and the
“Towing A Disabled Vehicle” instructions in
this section.
The tow eyes are mounted below the front
and rear bumpers.
Front Tow Eye Rear Tow Eye
Tow Eye Usage Precautions
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or transfer case will occur if a
front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case
damage. Damage from improper towing
is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow eyes.
Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains
may break, causing serious injury or
death.
Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye.
Tow straps may break or become disen -
gaged, causing serious injury or death.
Failure to follow proper tow eye usage
may cause components to break
resulting in serious injury or death.

Coolant Checks
Check the engine and, intercooler (if
equipped) coolant (antifreeze) protection
every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine and, intercooler (if equipped) is dirty
or rusty in appearance, the system should be
drained, flushed and refilled with fresh OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) by an
authorized dealer. Check the front of the A/C
condenser (if equipped) or radiator for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty,
clean by gently spraying water from a garden
hose vertically down the face of the A/C
condenser (if equipped) or the back of the
radiator core.Check the engine and, intercooler (if
equipped) cooling system hoses for brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness
of the connection at the coolant recovery
bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system
for leaks. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT
PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING
SYSTEM IS HOT.
Brake System
In order to ensure brake system perfor
-
mance, all brake system components should
be inspected periodically. Refer to the
“Maintenance Plan” in this section for the
proper maintenance intervals.
Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should
be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced,
or immediately if the brake system warning
light is on. If necessary, add fluid to bring
level within the designated marks on the side
of the reservoir of the brake master cylinder.
Be sure to clean the top of the master
cylinder area before removing cap. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as
the brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should
be checked when pads are replaced. If the
brake fluid is abnormally low, check the
system for leaks.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Tech -
nical Specifications” for further information.When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake
temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would not
have your full braking capacity in an
emergency. WARNING!
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri -
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its
performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the original factory installed hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.

Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving at safe
speeds and within posted speed limits.
Where speed limits or conditions are such
that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds,
maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is
very important. Increased tire pressure and
reduced vehicle loading may be required for
high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to an
authorized tire dealer or original equipment
vehicle dealer for recommended safe oper-
ating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation
pressures.
Radial Ply Tires
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be
repaired if it meets the following criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.

The damage is only on the tread section of
your tire (sidewall damage is not repairable).

The puncture is no greater than a ¼ of an
inch (6 mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire
repairs and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires
that have experienced a loss of pressure
should be replaced immediately with another
Run Flat tire of identical size and service
description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Replace the tire pressure sensor as well as it
is not designed to be reused.
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to
drive 50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h)
after a rapid loss of inflation pressure. This
rapid loss of inflation is referred to as the
Run Flat mode. A Run Flat mode occurs
when the tire inflation pressure is of/or below
14 psi (96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire reaches
the run flat mode it has limited driving capa -
bilities and needs to be replaced immedi -
ately. A Run Flat tire is not repairable. When
a run flat tire is changed after driving with
underinflated tire condition, please replace
the TPM sensor as it is not designed to be
reused when driven under run flat mode 14
psi (96 kPa) condition.
NOTE:
TPM Sensor must be replaced after driving
the vehicle on a flat tire condition.
It is not recommended driving a vehicle
loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer
while a tire is in the run flat mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for
more information.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your vehicle under
maximum load is dangerous. The added
strain on your tires could cause them to
fail. You could have a serious collision. Do
not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum
capacity at continuous speeds above
75 mph (120 km/h).
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types
of tires on your vehicle will cause your
vehicle to handle poorly. The instability
could cause a collision. Always use radial
ply tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.

If you are storing your vehicle for more than
21 days, we recommend that you take the
following steps to minimize the drain on your
vehicle's battery:
Disconnect the negative cable from
battery.
If your vehicle is equipped with Stop/Start
system then disconnect both the main and
supplemental negative battery cables.
Any time you store your vehicle or keep it
out of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks
or more, run the air conditioning system at
idle for about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
If assistance is needed to disconnect the
battery system, see your authorized dealer.Battery Cable Disconnect
NOTE:
You must isolate the supplemental battery
connection point, as well as the main
battery terminal from the post, as shown in
the image, to fully de-energize both
batteries for storage. If assistance is
needed to disconnect the battery system,
see an authorized dealer.
Do not disconnect the Intelligent Battery
Sensor (IBS), or your Stop/Start system
may not function for up to 24 hours, due
to the IBS being set into learn mode.
BODYWORK
Body And Underbody Maintenance
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic head -
lights and fog lights that are lighter and less
susceptible to stone breakage than glass
headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass
and therefore different lens cleaning proce -
dures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid
wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt,
wash with a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other aggressive mate -
rial to clean the lenses.
CAUTION!
If the negative battery cables are not
isolated properly it can cause a potential
power spike or surge in the system,
resulting in damage to essential electrical
components.

Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models

To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's inte
-
rior trim and top, follow these precautions:

Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended
with the top down, as exposure to sun or
rain may damage interior trim.
Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching
agents on top material, as damage may
result.
Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down
and dry on the paint, leaving a streak.
After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top,
always make sure it is completely dry
before lowering.
Be especially careful when washing the
windows by following the directions for
“Care of Fabric Top Windows.”
Washing – Use mild soap suds, lukewarm
water, and a brush with soft bristles. If extra
cleaning is required, use a mild foaming
cleaner on the entire top, but support the top
from underneath.
Rinsing – Be sure to remove all traces of
cleaner by rinsing the top thoroughly with
clean water. Remember to allow the top to
dry before lowering it. Some parts of the vehicle may be painted
with a matte paintwork which requires
special care for its preservation.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior and exterior vehicle water damage,
stains or mildew on the top material or
electrical components damage:
Avoid high-pressure car washes for the
exterior and interior of the vehicle, as
they can damage the top material and
electrical connectors. Also, increased
water pressure may force past the
weather strips.
It is recommended that the top be free of
water prior to opening it. Operating the
top, opening a door or lowering a window
while the top is wet may allow water to
drip into the vehicle’s interior.
Use care when washing the vehicle,
water pressure directed at the weather
strip seals may cause water to leak into
the vehicle’s interior.
Careless handling and storage of the
removable roof panels may damage the
seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle’s interior.
The front panel(s) must be positioned
properly to ensure sealing. Improper
installation can cause water to leak into
the vehicle’s interior.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the car. Bird droppings must be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly aggres-
sive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the
vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it
may only be possible to remove them
with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could
alter the typical opaqueness of the paint.
