NOTE:
The stabilizer/sway bar may be torque locked
due to left and right suspension height
differences. This condition is due to driving
surface differences or vehicle loading. In
order for the stabilizer/sway bar to discon-
nect/reconnect, the right and left halves of
the bar must be aligned. This alignment may
require that the vehicle be driven onto level
ground or rocked from side to side.
To return to on-road mode, push the SWAY
BAR switch again.
STOP/START SYSTEM —
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(IF EQUIPPED)

The Stop/Start function is developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a
vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal or pressing
the accelerator pedal will automatically
re-start the engine.
Engine Stop/Start (ESS) vehicles have been
upgraded with a heavy duty starter,
enhanced battery, and other upgraded
engine parts, to handle the additional engine
starts.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the Stop/Start
System be disabled during off-road use. Secondary Battery
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
secondary battery used to power the Stop/
Start system and the 12 Volt vehicle elec
-
trical system. The secondary battery is
located behind the wheel well for the front
driver’s side wheel.

WARNING!
If the stabilizer/sway bar will not return to
on-road mode, the “Sway Bar Indicator
Light” will flash in the instrument cluster
and vehicle stability may be reduced. Do
not attempt to drive the vehicle over
18 mph (29 km/h). Driving faster than
18 mph (29 km/h) with a disconnected
stabilizer/sway bar may contribute to the
loss of vehicle control, which could result
in serious injury.

NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap about a quarter
turn until you hear one click. This is an
indication that the cap is properly tight-
ened.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened prop -
erly, the MIL will come on. Be sure the
cap is tightened every time the vehicle is
refueled.
AdBlue® (UREA) — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an AdBlue®
UREA injection system and Selective Cata -
lytic Reduction to meet emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance with
the diesel emissions requirements; at the
same, they ensure fuel-efficiency, handling,
torque and power. For messages and system
warnings, 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®
(UREA) liquid type, see the “Fluids and
lubricants” in the “Technical specifications”
section. The vehicle is equipped with an
automatic AdBlue® (UREA) heating system
when the engine starts allowing the system
to work correctly at temperatures lower than
12°F (-11°C).
NOTE:
AdBlue® (UREA) freezes at temperatures
lower than 12°F (-11°C).Do not apply any object/cap to the end of
the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/
plugs could cause a pressure increase
inside the tank, resulting in dangerous
situations.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place fuel containers on the ground
while filling.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emission
control system could result from using
an improper fuel filler cap. A poorly
fitting cap could let impurities into the
fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after -
market cap can cause the “Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due
to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do
not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING! (Continued)
CAUTION!
For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN 590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently
void the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain
the fuel tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.

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.
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 unexpect -
edly during hard or prolonged braking,
resulting in sudden brake failure. This
could result in a collision.

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.

cause for concern. However, if the engine is
heard making a heavy knocking sound, see
your dealer immediately. Use of gasoline
with a lower than recommended octane
number can cause engine failure and may
void or not be covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita -
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
