Break-in period 
First 600 miles: Avoid heavy 
braking and acceleration; drive at
varying road and engine speeds 
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)* 
When brake pedal is pressed, ABS
automatically reduces hydraulic
pressure to any wheel on the
verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal and hear a clicking noise;
this tells you the ABS is functioning
properly; increase pressure on pedal
for maximum braking 
Tips: Maintain constant  
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes 
Unique driving conditions
†Every 5,000 miles change oil/ 
filter, inspect coolant level, 
lights, brake/clutch fluid, tire 
pressure/wear, power steering
fluid, locks/hinges, washer fluid
and rotate tires 
Maintenance notes: 
Rotate tires every 7,500 miles 
or sooner if needed 
Replace cabin air filter once  
every 2 years or 25,000 miles
†
Replace spark plugs every 
100,000 miles (or 60,000 miles
if following the Unique driving
conditions
†)Traction Control System*
Automatically applies and releases
brakes to prevent excessive wheel
spin at all speeds, especially 
when accelerating on 
slippery surfaces 
Tire economy and tips 
Check pressure at least monthly
when tires are cold 
Maintain correct front-end 
alignment and tire balance; rotate
tires at 7,500-mile 
intervals; see
Owner’s Manual  for rotation chart
Tire pressure
Decal on the edge of the 
driver’s door provides tire 
pressure information
A.Change: Engine oil/
replace filter 
Lubricate: All locks and hinges
B. Inspect: Disc brakes
C. Inspect: Drive belts, fuel lines  
and hoses, cooling system, 
brake lines, hoses and 
connections, drum brakes, 
steering operation and 
linkages, front suspension 
ball joints, driveshaft 
dust boots
D. Replace: Air filter
E. Inspect: Exhaust system and 
heat shields
F. Inspect: PCV valve 
Change: Engine coolant
Tire chains*
†Tire chains can damage aluminum 
wheels; use on steel wheels only 
Tips: Use only SAE class 
“S ”
chains, install only on front 
tires; install as tightly as 
possible and retighten 
after driving 1/4 -1/2 miles;
chains may affect handling 
Never exceed 30 mph with  
tire chains
