Outside Air
Keep the air intakes in front of thewindshield free from obstruction (such assnow or leaves) to allow the climatecontrol system to function effectively.
Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settingsfor demisting the windshield.
The air currently in the passengercompartment recirculates. Outside air doesnot enter your vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.
General Information on Controllingthe Interior Climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air toward the windshield and the doorwindows.
Cooling the Interior
Direct the air toward your face.
Air Conditioning
The system directs air through theevaporator for cooling. The evaporatorextracts humidity from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist. The systemdirects the resulting condensation to theoutside of your vehicle, which may causea small pool to form under your vehicle.This is normal.
Note:The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note:When you use air conditioning, yourvehicle uses more fuel.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE
Choosing the Right Fuel
We recommend regular unleaded gasolinewith a pump octane rating of 87. Somestations offer fuels posted as regular withan octane rating below 87, particularly inhigh altitude areas. We do not recommendfuels with an octane rating below 87.Premium unleaded gasoline will provideimproved performance and isrecommended for severe duty usage, forexample a fully loaded vehicle.
Do not use any fuel other than thoserecommended because they could lead toengine damage that may not be coveredby the vehicle Warranty.
Note:Use of any fuel other than thoserecommended can impair the emissioncontrol system and cause a loss of vehicleperformance.
Do not use:
•Diesel fuel.
•Kerosene or paraffin fuels.
•Fuel containing more than 15% ethanolor E-85 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel isprohibited by law).
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (commonly knownas MMT), which is a manganese-basedfuel additive, will impair engineperformance and affect the emissioncontrol system.
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if itknocks heavily under most drivingconditions while you are using fuel with therecommended octane rating, contact anauthorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Choosing the Right Fuel
Use only Regular Diesel with a pumpcetane rating of 48 or higher. Werecommend using Premium Diesel with acetane rating of 55 or higher for optimalperformance of your vehicle. PremiumDiesel is recommended for severe dutyusage, for example fully loaded or trailertow.

6.Clean the plastic funnel and place itback in your vehicle or properly disposeof it.
Note:Extra funnels can be purchased froman authorized dealer if you choose todispose of the funnel.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. The exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring use, and after you have switchedthe engine off. This is a potential firehazard.
Driving with a Catalytic Converter
WARNINGS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for longperiods.
Do not run the engine when a sparkplug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. SeeJump Starting the Vehicle (page225).
Do not switch the ignition off whendriving.
REFUELING
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to start the engine ifyou have filled the fuel tank with theincorrect fuel. This could damage theengine. Have your vehicle checked by anauthorized dealer immediately.
Do not use any kind of flames or heatnear the fuel system. The fuel systemis under pressure. There is a risk ofinjury if the fuel system is leaking.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray the fuelfiller flap briefly from a distance notless than 8 inches (200 millimeters).
We recommend that you wait atleast 10 seconds before removing thefuel nozzle to allow any residual fuelto drain into the fuel tank.
Stop refueling after the fuel nozzlestops the second time. Additionalfuel will fill the expansion space inthe fuel tank which could lead to fueloverflowing. Fuel spillage could behazardous to other road users.
Do not remove the fuel nozzle fromits fully inserted position during theentire refueling process.
Note:Your vehicle does not have a fuel fillercap.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL CONSUMPTION
We derive CO2 and fuel consumptionfigures in laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)692/2008 and subsequent amendments.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle.
Real world fuel consumption is governedby many factors, for example driving style,high speed driving, stop-start driving, airconditioning usage, the accessories fitted,payload and towing.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in the fuel tank and whenthe fuel gauge indicates empty. Emptyreserve is the amount of fuel in the fueltank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note: The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range. When refuelingyour vehicle after the fuel gauge indicatesempty, you might not be able to refuel thefull amount of the advertised capacity dueto the empty reserve still present in the fueltank.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Switch the ignition off.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when refueling.
Results are most accurate when therefueling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this isthe engine break-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2500 mi (4,000 km). Also, fuel expense,frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readingsare not accurate ways to measure fueleconomy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the fuel tank, recordthe amount of fuel added.
3.After at least three fill ups, fill the fueltank and record the current odometerreading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
5.Calculate fuel economy by dividingmiles traveled by gallons used (ForMetric: Multiply liters used by 100, thendivide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city or freeway).This provides an accurate estimate of yourvehicle’s fuel economy under currentdriving conditions. Additionally, keepingrecords during summer and winter showhow temperature impacts fuel economy.In general, your vehicle will use more fuelin cold temperatures.
