WARNING
Driving with the trunk open: Driving with the trunk open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases
entering the passenger compartment. If the trunk must be kept open for a\
ny reason, proceed as follows:
l Close the windows
l Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and \
side windows and the blower
control to its highest setting.
Weight distribution affects handling
At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, \
which means that the steering
wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvatur\
e of a bend. This ensures good
stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these p\
roperties can alter with the vehicle
load. The heavier the load in the cargo area, the less the tendency to u\
ndersteer.
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle hand\
ling. Therefore,
123 06 Starting and driving
General information
check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according \
to the vehicle load. See the "Tire
pressure" section. Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight o\
r maximum permissible axle loads
are not exceeded.
Driving through water
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 9\
in. (25 cm), at a maximum
speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
l Take particular care when driving through flowing water.
l Clean the electrical connections for trailer wiring after driving in mud\
or water
l When driving through water, maintain low speed and do not stop in the wa\
ter.
WARNING
After driving through water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure \
that the brakes are functioning
normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in\
delayed braking effect.

l wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is prese\
nt in all exhaust gases. If you
ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger com\
partment is ventilated, and
immediately return the vehicle to your retailer for correction.
Use of Additives
With the exception of fuel line antifreeze during winter months, do not \
add solvents, thickeners, or other
store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating s\
ystems. Overuse may damage your
engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemica\
ls. Do not needlessly expose
yourself to these chemicals.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on
page 55) with the ignition switched off
to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door wi\
ll remain unlocked until the vehicle
begins to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel fil\
ler door relocks.
127 06 Starting and driving
Fuel requirements
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this fea\
ture enables you to lock the doors/
trunk while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refu\
eling. The central locking button
does not lock the fuel filler door.
Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed \
after refueling. Open the fuel filler
cap slowly during hot weather.
Refueling
The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 15.9 US gallons (60 lit\
ers)1 with sufficient volume left
over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aw\
are that the "usable" tank
capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel\
level is low, such factors as
ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, a\
nd terrain can affect the fuel

more tread on the rear tires will help reduce oversteer. Oversteer is wh\
en a vehicle wants to keep turning
because of momentum and dynamic forces on its suspension.
Suspension wear diagnostics
Every suspension needs periodic inspection and maintenance. A tire's wea\
r pattern can be an aid in
detecting a suspension problem. Each tire, if left in place, tells a sto\
ry about the suspension. Tire rotation,
on the other hand, could make suspension wear harder to detect. Early de\
tection is very important,
because suspension problems can make tire wear worse.
If you do rotate your tires...
Please follow the tire manufacturer's recommendations, as outlined in th\
e tire manufacturers tire warranty
pamphlet.

Temporary spare
Temporary spare (option)
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare".
Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar) should be \
maintained irrespective of which

On cars with a spare wheel, the jack and lug wrench are secured in a foa\
m plastic block placed in the
center of the wheel.
CAUTION
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a\
spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously d\
amage your car's transmission.
The retaining straps securing the spare wheel is attached to two eyelets\
in the floor of the spare wheel's
storage compartment.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire othe\
r than as a temporary
replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possibl\
e by a standard tire. Road holding
and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not e\
xceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do
not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spare tire.
