GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive
your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You
can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if
the service engine soon indicator is on or
not working properly (bulb is burned out),
or if the OBD-II system has determined
that some of the emission control systems
have not been properly checked. In this
case, the vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing.
If the vehicle
’s engine or transmission has
just been serviced, or the battery has
recently run down or been replaced, the
OBD-II system may indicate that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To
determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M
testing, turn the ignition key to the on
position for 15 seconds without cranking
the engine. If the service engine soon
indicator blinks eight times, it means that
the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if
the service engine soon indicator stays on
solid, it means that your vehicle is ready
for I/M testing.
The OBD-II system checks the emission
control system during normal driving. A
complete check may take several days.
If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing,
you can perform the following driving cycle
consisting of mixed city and highway
driving:
1. 15 minutes of steady driving on an expressway or highway followed by 20
minutes of stop-and-go driving with at
least four 30-second idle periods.
2. Allow your vehicle to sit for at least eight hours with the ignition off. Then,
start the vehicle and complete the
above driving cycle. The vehicle must
warm up to its normal operating
temperature. Once started, do not turn
off the vehicle until the above driving
cycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M
testing, you need to repeat the above
driving cycle.

Hints on Driving with an Automatic
Transmission
WARNING: Do not apply the brake
and accelerator pedals simultaneously for
more than three seconds as this limits
engine rpm and labors the transmission.
This may make it difficult to maintain
speeds in traffic and lead to an accident
or injury. WARNING:
Do not idle the engine
for long periods of time in D with the
brakes applied. This could damage the
transmission and may lead to an accident
or injury.
Note: The system carries out a series of
checks when you switch the ignition on and
off. You may hear clicking sounds. This is
normal.
Moving off
1. Press the brake pedal to apply the brakes.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to
R,D or S.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Release the brake pedal and press the

a lower gear for optimum performance.
Release the accelerator pedal when you
no longer require downshift.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
D
and R, stopping between shifts in a
steady pattern. Press the accelerator
lightly in each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature as
this can damage the transmission.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute as this can damage the
transmission or the tires and the engine may
overheat.
Emergency Park Position Release
Lever WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle
until you verify that the brake lamps are
working. Failure to adhere to warning
indicators may lead to an accident or injury. WARNING: If you release the parking
brake and the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated the brakes may not be working
correctly. Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
