Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F
(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be
checked using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.
Adding Coolant WARNING:
Do not add engine
coolant when the engine is on or the
cooling system is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. WARNING:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury. WARNING:
Do not put coolant in
the windshield washer reservoir. If
sprayed on the windshield, coolant could
make it difficult to see through the
windshield.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. It is very important to use prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification in order to avoid plugging the
small passageways in the engine cooling
system. Do not mix different colors or types
of coolant in your vehicle. Mixing of engine
coolants or using an incorrect coolant may
harm the engine or cooling system
components and may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Note:
If prediluted coolant is not available,
use the approved concentrated coolant
diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water.
Using water that has not been deionised
may contribute to deposit formation,
corrosion and plugging of the small cooling
system passageways.
Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and
models may not be approved to our
specifications and may cause damage to
the cooling system. Resulting component
damage may not be covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.
To top up the coolant level do the
following:
1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
2. Add prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification.
3. Add enough prediluted coolant to reach the correct level.
4. Replace the coolant reservoir cap, turn
it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
5. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive
your vehicle. If necessary, add enough
prediluted engine coolant to bring the
coolant level to the correct level.

Because your vehicle
’s engine is
electronically-controlled by a computer,
some engine control settings are
maintained by power from the low voltage
battery. Some engine computer settings,
like the idle trim and fuel trim strategy,
optimize the driveability and performance
of the engine. Some other computer
settings, like the clock and radio station
presets, are also maintained in memory by
power from the low voltage battery. When
a technician disconnects and connects the
low voltage battery, these settings are
erased. Complete the following procedure
in order to restore the settings:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into park (P).
3. Switch off all accessories.
4. Fully press the brake pedal and start the vehicle.
5. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. While the
engine is warming up, complete the
following: Reset the clock. See Audio
System (page 367). Reset the power
windows bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors
(page 89).
Reset the radio station presets. See
Audio System
(page 367).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
minute. If the engine turns off, press
the accelerator pedal to start the
engine.
7. While the engine is running, press the brake pedal and shift into neutral (N).
8. Allow the engine to run for at least one
minute by pressing on the accelerator
pedal.
9. Drive the vehicle at least 12 mi (20 km)
to completely relearn the idle and fuel
trim strategy. Note:
If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the engine computer
eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel
trim strategy.
Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek
advice from your local authority about
recycling old batteries.
CHECKING THE WIPER

Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Do not raise the spare wheel carrier
without the wheel attached. Damage can
occur to the winch mechanism if lowered
without a wheel attached.
Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage
instructions may result in failure of cable or
loss of spare tire.
Note: Do not lay alloy wheels face down
on the ground, this will damage the paint.
When stowing the flat tire use a sheet or
mat under the wheel to protect the paint.
1. Stow the flat or spare tire with the valve stem facing downward. 2. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cables to
align the components at the end of the
cables.
3. Attach the second cable by screwing the bolt into one of the holes in the
wheel.
4. Turn the end of the first cable so it fits through the slot and install the cable.
Then slide the cap over the retainer.
5. Turn the jack handle clockwise to raise
the tire to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly when the tire is raised to
the maximum tightness. Tighten to the
best of your ability.
6. Check that the tire is flat against the frame and is fully tight. Try to push or
pull, then turn the tire to be sure it will
not move. Loosen and retighten, if
necessary. Failure to properly stow the
spare tire may result in failure of the
winch cable and loss of the tire.
7. Repeat this tightness check procedure
when servicing the spare tire pressure
(every six months, per scheduled
maintenance information), or at any
time that the spare tire is disturbed
through service of other components.
Return the jack and tools to the storage
position in the cargo area.
TIRE PRESSURES
The recommended tire inflation pressures
are on the tire information label on the
driver side B-pillar.
Check all tire pressures when they are cold,
at least once every two weeks.
Note: You may need to remove the spare
wheel from the spare wheel carrier to check
the tire pressure.
