JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE
• If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery
booster pack. Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please fol-
low the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the trans-
mission into gear and turn the ignition
to OFF/LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all un-
necessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start
the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach, set the
parking brake and make sure the ig-
nition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to a good engine
ground (exposed metal part of the discharged vehicles engine) away from the
battery and the fuel injection system.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
55

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative(-)jumper cable from the engine ground(-)of the ve-
hicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable from the negative(-)post of
the booster battery.
3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of
the discharged vehicle.
• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the bat-
tery and charging system inspected at your authorized studio.
CAUTION!
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw powerfrom the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suf-ficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with
a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter mo-
tor, alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging
system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or ex-
plode and cause personal injury.
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
•Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the bat-
tery to explode and could result in personal injury.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
With Ignition Key
Manual Transmission
• Vehicle can be flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) with the transmission in
NEUTRAL.
• Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
NOTE:If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the keymust be in the ON/RUN position. Make certain the transmission remains in NEUTRAL.
Without The Ignition Key
• Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the
OFF/LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear
wheels are raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission dam-
age. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing
the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension com-
ponents. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
• In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication net-
work remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of
the event the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or
until the ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.

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.
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.
