SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can use
the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:
•Firmly set the parking brake.
• Remove the shift lever override access cover located on the right side of the shift lever housing.
•Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position without starting the engine.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake
pedal.
• Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, push
and hold the override release lever in.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL
position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the shift lever override access cover.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
With Ignition Key
Automatic Transmission
•Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
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).
All Transmissions
• If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the key must
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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

•Battery power is required to release the brake/transmission interlock system (automatic
transmission only).There is a removable plug in the right side of the shift lever housing that
allows you to insert your finger to override the system.The ignition key must be in the
ON/RUN position to use the override lever.
CAUTION!
•Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission damage. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Damage to
the drivetrain will result.
• 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 components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication network remains
intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event the 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.
• After the event occurs, when the system is active, the message "Fuel Cutoff See Handbook" is
displayed.
• Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near
the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.
NOTE: In order to start the engine and move the vehicle to a safe location after an impact, the
System Reset Procedure must be completed.

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.
EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
•This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed.The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less.The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender,
age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.

TIRE PRESSURES
•Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to
the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:Refer to the Owner's Manual on the
DVD for more information regarding tire
warnings and instructions.

WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended
load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
•All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a wheel cleaner or select a non-abrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner.These products may damage the wheel's protective finish.Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the
wheel's protective finish.
