(Continued)
Under normal operating conditions, the cata-
lytic converter will not require maintenance.
However, it is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to ensure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems can result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
scorching odor may suggest severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs,
stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and
allow it to cool. Service, including a tune-up
to manufacturer's specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic
converter damage:
Do not interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the vehicle is
in motion.
Do not try to start the vehicle by pushing
or towing the vehicle.
Do not idle the engine with any ignition
components disconnected or removed,
such as when diagnostic testing, or for
prolonged periods during very rough idle or
malfunctioning operating conditions.
Cooling System

A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do not
park or operate your vehicle in areas where
your exhaust system can contact anything
that can burn.

CAUTION!

The catalytic converter requires the use of
unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will
destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an
emissions control device and may seriously
reduce engine performance and cause
serious damage to the engine.
Damage to the catalytic converter can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating
condition. In the event of engine malfunc -
tion, particularly involving engine misfire or
other apparent loss of performance, have your
vehicle serviced promptly. Continued opera-
tion of your vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause the converter to overheat,
resulting in possible damage to the converter
and vehicle.

WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.

Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving at safe
speeds and within posted speed limits.
Where speed limits or conditions are such
that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds,
maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is
very important. Increased tire pressure and
reduced vehicle loading may be required for
high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to an
authorized tire dealer or original equipment
vehicle dealer for recommended safe oper-
ating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation
pressures.
Radial Ply Tires
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be
repaired if it meets the following criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.

The damage is only on the tread section of
your tire (sidewall damage is not repairable).

The puncture is no greater than a ¼ of an
inch (6 mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire
repairs and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires
that have experienced a loss of pressure
should be replaced immediately with another
Run Flat tire of identical size and service
description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Replace the tire pressure sensor as well as it
is not designed to be reused.
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to
drive 50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h)
after a rapid loss of inflation pressure. This
rapid loss of inflation is referred to as the
Run Flat mode. A Run Flat mode occurs
when the tire inflation pressure is of/or below
14 psi (96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire reaches
the run flat mode it has limited driving capa -
bilities and needs to be replaced immedi -
ately. A Run Flat tire is not repairable. When
a run flat tire is changed after driving with
underinflated tire condition, please replace
the TPM sensor as it is not designed to be
reused when driven under run flat mode 14
psi (96 kPa) condition.
NOTE:
TPM Sensor must be replaced after driving
the vehicle on a flat tire condition.
It is not recommended driving a vehicle
loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer
while a tire is in the run flat mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for
more information.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your vehicle under
maximum load is dangerous. The added
strain on your tires could cause them to
fail. You could have a serious collision. Do
not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum
capacity at continuous speeds above
75 mph (120 km/h).
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types
of tires on your vehicle will cause your
vehicle to handle poorly. The instability
could cause a collision. Always use radial
ply tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.

Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all
seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and
Winter). Traction levels may vary between
different all season tires. All season tires can
be identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or MS
designation on the tire sidewall. Use all
season tires only in sets of four; failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.

Summer Or Three Season Tires — If Equipped

Summer tires provide traction in both wet
and dry conditions, and are not intended to
be driven in snow or on ice. If your vehicle is
equipped with Summer tires, be aware these
tires are not designed for Winter or cold
driving conditions. Install Winter tires on
your vehicle when ambient temperatures are
less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered
with ice or snow. For more information,
contact an authorized dealer.

Summer tires do not contain the all season desig-
nation or mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire
sidewall. Use Summer tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your vehicle.

Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of
snow tires during the Winter. Snow tires can
be identified by a “mountain/snowflake”
symbol on the tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires
equivalent in size and type to the
original equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four; failure to
do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings
than what was originally equipped with your
vehicle and should not be operated at
sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h).
For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer
to original equipment or an authorized tire
dealer for recommended safe operating
speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pres -
sures. While studded tires improve performance on
ice, skid and traction capability on wet or dry
surfaces may be poorer than that of
non-studded tires. Some states prohibit
studded tires; therefore, local laws should be
checked before using these tire types.
Spare Tires — If Equipped
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit
instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire
Service Kit” in “In Case Of Emergency” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.
Refer to the “Towing Requirements - Tires”
in “Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s
Manual for restrictions when towing with a
spare tire designated for temporary emer
-
gency use.
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice
conditions. You could lose vehicle control,
resulting in severe injury or death. Driving
too fast for conditions also creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance,
do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash with a compact or
limited use temporary spare installed.
Damage to the vehicle may result.

Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic
windows which can be scratched unless
special care is taken by following these
directions:
Never use a dry cloth to remove dust.
Instead, use a microfiber towel or soft
cotton cloth moistened with cold or warm,
clean water, and wipe across the window,
not up and down. It removes fine scratches
to improve visibility and provides UV
protection to help prevent yellowing.
When washing, never use hot water or
anything stronger than a mild soap. Never
use solvents such as alcohol or harsh
cleaning agents.
Always rinse thoroughly with cold water,
then wipe with a soft and slightly moist,
clean cloth.
When removing frost, snow or ice, never
use a scraper or de-icing chemicals. Use
warm water only if you must clean the
window quickly.
Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from
off-road driving will have an impact on
plastic retainer operation. Even normal
on-road driving and vehicle washing will
eventually impact window plastic retainer
operation. To maintain ease of use of the
window plastic retainers, each window
plastic retainer should be cleaned and
lubricated regularly. Clean them with a
mild soap solution and a small brush.
Cleaning products are available through
an authorized dealer.
Never paste stickers, gummed labels or
any tape to the windows. Adhesives are
hard to remove and may damage the
windows.
INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol -
stery and carpeting.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
Do not use pure windshield washer fluid
for cleaning the front windshield and
rear window; dilute it min. 50% with
water. Only use pure windshield washer
fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use a specific product to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use
high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with
a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a damp
soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as
an abrasive and damage the leather uphol -
stery and should be removed promptly with a
damp cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery. Application of a leather
conditioner is not required to maintain the
original condition. NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it
tends to show any foreign material, dirt, and
fabric dye transfer more so than darker
colors. The leather is designed for easy
cleaning.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with any commercial house
-
hold-type glass cleaner. Never use an abra -
sive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning
the inside rear window equipped with elec -
tric defrosters or windows equipped with
radio antennas. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch the
elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are
using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the
mirror.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
CAUTION!

Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand sani -
tizers to the plastic, painted, or decorated
surfaces of the interior may cause perma -
nent damage. Wipe away immediately.

Damage caused by these type of prod -
ucts may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/
or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather upholstery, as damage to the
upholstery may result.
