AdBlue® (UREA) — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA injec -
tion  system  and  Selective  Catalytic  Reduc -
tion  to  meet  emission  standards.  These  two
systems  ensure  compliance  with  the  diesel
emissions  requirements;  at  the  same  time,
they ensure fuel-efficiency, handling, torque
and  power.  For  messages  and  system  warn -
ings,  refer  to  the  "Warning  Lights  And
Messages"  in  the  "Getting  To  Know  Your
Instrument Panel" section. AdBlue® (UREA)
is a very stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored  at  temperatures  LOWER  than  90°F
(32°C), it has a shelf life of at least one year.
For more information on the AdBlue® liquid
type,  see  the  “Fluids  and lubricants” in  the
“Technical  specifications”  section.  The
vehicle  is  equipped  with  an  automatic
AdBlue®  heating  system  when  the  engine
starts  allowing  the  system  to  work  correctly
at temperatures lower than 12°F (-11°C).
NOTE:
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower than
12 °F (-11 °C).
AdBlue® (UREA) Storage
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very stable
product  with  a  long  shelf  life.  If  AdBlue®
(UREA) is kept in temperatures between 10°
and  90°F  (-12°  and  32°C),  it  will  last  a
minimum of one year.
AdBlue® (UREA) is subject to freezing at the
lowest temperatures. For example, AdBlue®
(UREA)  may  freeze  at  temperatures  at  or
below  12°F  (-11°C).  The  system  has  been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE:
When  working  with  AdBlue®  (UREA),  it  is
important to know that:
Any  containers  or  parts  that  come  into
contact  with  AdBlue®  (UREA)  must  be
AdBlue®  (UREA)  compatible  (plastic  or
stainless steel). Copper, brass, aluminum,
iron  or  non-stainless  steel  should  be
avoided as they are subject to corrosion by
AdBlue® (UREA).
If AdBlue® (UREA) is spilled, it should be
wiped up completely.
Adding AdBlue® (UREA)
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue®  (UREA)  freezes  at  temperatures
lower than 12°F (-11°C). If the car stands for
a  long  time  at  this  temperature  refilling
could  be  difficult.  For  this  reason,  it  is
advised to park  the vehicle in a garage  and/
or heated environment and wait for the urea
to return to liquid state before topping up.
Proceed as follows:
Park  the  car  on  flat  ground  and  stop  the
engine  by  cycling  the  ignition  to  the  OFF
position.
Open  the  fuel  door,  undo  and  remove  the

(Continued)
Cooling System Pressure Cap   
The  cap  must  be  fully  tightened  to  prevent
loss  of  engine  coolant  (antifreeze),  and  to
ensure  that  engine  coolant  (antifreeze)  will
return to the radiator from the coolant expan-
sion bottle/recovery tank if so equipped.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material
on the sealing surfaces.
Brake System 
In order to assure brake system performance,
all  brake  system  components  should  be
inspected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte -nance  Plan”  in  this  section  for  the  proper
maintenance intervals.
Brake Master Cylinder
The  fluid  in  the  master  cylinder  should  be
checked  when  performing  under  hood
services  or  immediately  if  the  “Brake
Warning Light” is illuminated.
Be  sure  to  clean  the  top  of  the  master
cylinder  area  before  removing  the  cap.  If
necessary,  add  fluid  to  bring  the  fluid  level
up  to  the  requirements  described  on  the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid
level  can  be  expected  to  fall  as  the  brake
pads  wear.  Brake  fluid  level  should  be
checked  when  pads  are  replaced.  However,
low fluid level may be caused by a  leak and
a checkup may be needed.
Use  only  manufacturer's  recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants”
in  “Technical  Specifications”  for  further
information.
 WARNING!
Do  not  open  hot  engine  cooling  system.
Never  add  engine  coolant  (antifreeze)
when  the  engine  is  overheated.  Do  not
loosen or remove the cap to cool an over
-
heated  engine.  Heat  causes  pressure  to
build  up  in  the  cooling  system.  To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove
the pressure cap while the system is hot
or under pressure.
Do not use a pressure cap other than the
one  specified  for  your  vehicle.  Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
 WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and  possibly  a  collision.  Driving  with  your
foot  resting  or  riding  on  the  brake  pedal
can  result  in  abnormally  high  brake
temperatures,  excessive  lining  wear,  and
possible  brake  damage.  You  would  not
have  your  full  braking  capacity  in  an
emergency. WARNING!
Use  only  manufacturer's  recommended
brake  fluid.  Refer to  “Fluids  And  Lubri -
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further  information.  Using  the  wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your  brake  system  and/or  impair  its
performance.  The  proper  type  of  brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the  original  factory  installed  hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.
To  avoid  contamination  from  foreign
matter  or  moisture,  use  only  new  brake
fluid  or  fluid  that  has  been  in  a  tightly
closed  container.  Keep  the  master
cylinder  reservoir  cap  secured  at  all
times.  Brake  fluid  in  a  open  container
absorbs  moisture  from  the  air  resulting
in a lower boiling point. This may cause
it  to  boil  unexpectedly  during  hard  or
prolonged  braking,  resulting  in  sudden
brake failure. This could result in a colli -
sion.

Manual Transmission — If Equipped
Fluid Level Check
Check  the  fluid  level  by  removing  the  fill
plug.  The fluid  level  should  be  between  the
bottom of the  fill hole  and a point  not more
than  3/16 inch  (4.7 mm)  below  the  bottom
of the hole.
Add  fluid,  if  necessary,  to  maintain  the
proper level.
Please see your authorized dealer for service.
Automatic Transmission
Selection Of Lubricant 
It is important to use the proper transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission perfor-
mance and life. Use only the manufacturer's
specified transmission fluid. Refer to “Fluids
And  Lubricants”  in  “Technical  Specifica -
tions” for fluid specifications. It is important
to  maintain  the  transmission  fluid  at  the
correct level using the recommended fluid.
NOTE:
No  chemical  flushes  should  be  used  in  any
transmission;  only  the  approved  lubricant
should be used.
Special Additives
The  manufacturer  strongly  recommends
against  using  any  special  additives  in  the transmission.  Automatic  Transmission  Fluid
(ATF)  is  an  engineered  product  and  its
performance  may  be  impaired  by  supple
-
mental  additives.  Therefore,  do  not  add  any
fluid  additives  to  the  transmission.  Avoid
using  transmission  sealers  as  they  may
adversely affect seals.
Fluid Level Check
The  fluid  level  is  preset  at  the  factory  and
does  not  require  adjustment  under  normal
operating  conditions.  Routine  fluid  level
checks are not required; therefore the trans -
mission  has  no  dipstick.  An  authorized
dealer  can  check  your  transmission  fluid
level using special service tools. If you notice
fluid  leakage  or  transmission  malfunction,
visit  an  authorized  dealer  immediately  to
have  the  transmission  fluid  level  checked.
Operating the vehicle with an improper fluid
level can cause severe transmission damage.
Overfilling  the  brake  fluid  reservoir  can
result  in  spilling  brake  fluid  on  hot
engine  parts,  causing  the  brake  fluid  to
catch  fire.  Brake  fluid  can  also  damage
painted  and  vinyl  surfaces,  care  should
be  taken  to  avoid  its  contact  with  these
surfaces.
Do  not  allow  petroleum  based  fluid  to
contaminate  the  brake  fluid.  Brake  seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial  or  complete  brake  failure.  This
could result in a collision.
 WARNING! (Continued)
 CAUTION!
Using  a  transmission  fluid  other  than  the
manufacturer’s  recommended  fluid  may
cause  deterioration  in  transmission  shift
quality  and/or  torque  converter  shudder.
Refer  to  “Fluids  And  Lubricants”  in
“Technical  Specifications”  for  fluid
specifications.
 CAUTION!
Do  not  use  chemical  flushes  in  your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your  transmission  components.  Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Minimum Ground Clearance (Reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the
lower edge of the differential. This value also
defines  those  for  the  “Approach  Angle”  the
“Departure  Angle”  and  the  “Breakover
Angle”.
Dimensions  are  expressed  in  inches  (mm)
and  refer  to  the  vehicle  equipped  with  its
original tires.Approach Angle (Reference B)
The  approach  angle  is  determined  by  the
horizontal line of the road surface, and by the
tangent  line  passing  between  the  front
wheel,  and  the  most  projecting low  point  of
the car.
The wider the angle, the lower the chance to
hit  an  obstacle  with  the  body  or  chassis,
when  climbing  a  steep  slope  or  overcoming
an obstacle.Departure Angle (Reference C)
The  departure  angle  is  determined  by  the
same  lines  of  the  “Approach  Angle”,  and
refers to the rear part of the vehicle.
Breakover Angle (Reference D)
The value of the “Breakover Angle” is linked
to  the  ground  clearance  of  the  vehicle  and
indicates the attitude of the vehicle to over
-
come  a  wedge,  more  or  less  steep,
