ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in.Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant.Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation.This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted
as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist
•Tap the lever up or down once and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash three
times to indicate a lane change and auto-
matically turn off.
Headlights/Parking Lights
•Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent for parking lights and headlight

High Beams
•Pull the lever rearward to activate the high beams.
•A high beam symbol will illuminate in the cluster to indicate the high beams are on.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off the high beams when oncoming traffic is present to prevent
headlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
Flash To Pass
•Pull the lever toward you to activate the high beams.The high beams will remain on
until the lever is released.
Headlight Delay (Follow Me Home)
•Within two minutes of the ignition switch being turned to the OFF/LOCK position or
the ignition key being removed from the ignition, pull the turn signal lever toward the
steering wheel.
•Each movement of the lever toward the steering wheel will increase the illumination
period by 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds.
•To deactivate, pull the multifunction lever toward the steering wheel and hold it for
more than two seconds.
NOTE:
Activation of Follow Me Home is only enabled once per key cycle and the steps outlined
above must be repeated each time you want to activate it.
Fog Lights
•Push the fog light button, located on the center stack of the instrument panel just be-
low the radio, once to turn on the fog lights.
•Push the button a second time to turn the fog lights off.

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 equivalent
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 pro-
tective finish.
