Recreational Towing — Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models — Automatic Transmission
• Recreational towing is allowed ONLYif the front wheels are OFFthe ground. This may be
accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:
1.Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
2. Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Place the transmission in PARK.
4.
Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
5. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain will result.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe trans-
mission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Recreational Towing – All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Models
• Recreational towing (with all four wheels on the ground, or using a towing dolly) is NOT
ALLOWED. The only acceptable method for towing this vehicle (behind another vehicle) is
on a vehicle trailer with all four wheels OFFthe ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle with ANYof its wheels on the ground can cause severe transmission
and/or power transfer unit damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low EVIC display.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F
(0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the
vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant.

5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position.For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
Spare Tire Removal
NOTE:
On seven-passenger models, fold the third-row passenger seats flat. This will provide more
space when accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch mechanism.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them.
NOTE:
Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating
the small ball at the end of component 2 in
the small hole at the end of component 3.
This will lock these components together.
Assemble components 1 and 2 so that the
wheel nut socket at the end of component 1
faces upward when seated on component 2.
This will make it easier to rotate the assem-
bly when operating the winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut located in the jack storage area. Rotate the jack-handle assembly
counterclockwise until the spare tire is on the ground with enough cable slack to allow
you to pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and raise it upright so the tire's tread is on the ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it from the center of the wheel.

Spare Tire Stowage
NOTE:
Refer to “Spare Tire Removal” for information on assembling the winch tools.
1.
Place the spare tire near to the winch cable. Hold the spare upright so that the tire's tread is on
the ground and the valve stem is at the top of the wheel facing away from the rear of the
vehicle.
2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and drop it through the center of the wheel. Then place the spare tire with the cable and retainer underneath the vehicle.
3.
Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly
clockwise to raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue to rotate the jack-handle
assembly until you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot be over tightened.
Push against the tire several times to be sure it is held securely in place.
Jacking Instructions
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-
handle from stowage.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn
the wheel nuts counterclockwise one
turn while the wheel is still on the ground.

3. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screwclockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the tire just clears the road surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel nuts. For vehicles so equipped, remove the wheel cover from the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the spare tire.
NOTE:
For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the
compact spare.
7. Install the wheel nuts with the cone- shaped end of the nut toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the wheel nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise with the jack
handle.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The correct
tightness of each lug nut is 100 ft.lbs. (135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque wrench by you authorized dealer or service station.
