Mist Feature
Push upward on the wiper lever to activate a
single wipe to clear off road mist or spray
from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever
is held up, the wipers will continue to
operate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer — If Equipped
A rotary switch on the center portion of the
windshield wiper/washer lever controls the
operation of the rear wiper/washer function.Rear Wiper/Washer Control
Rotate the switch upward to the first detent
position for intermittent operation and to the
second detent for continuous rear wiper
operation. Push the wiper lever toward the instrument
panel to activate the rear washer. The washer
pump and wiper will continue to operate as
long as the lever is held.
If the rear wiper is operating when the igni
-
tion is placed in the OFF position, the wiper
will automatically return to the “park” posi -
tion. When the vehicle is restarted, the wiper
will resume function at whichever position
the switch is set at.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direc -
tion of air circulating throughout the vehicle.
The controls are located on the touchscreen
(if equipped) and on the instrument panel
below the radio.

The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” and the
“ESC Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position.
The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive.
This light will come on when the vehicle is
in an ESC event.
— Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light indicates the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) is off.
Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN
or ACC/ON/RUN, the ESC system will be on,
even if it was turned off previously.
— Loose Fuel Filler Cap Warning Light —
If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate when the
fuel filler cap is loose. Properly close the
filler cap to disengage the light. If the light
does not turn off, please see an authorized
dealer.
— Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches approximately
2.0 gal (7.5 L), this light will turn on and a
chime will sound. The light will remain on
until fuel is added.
— Low Washer Fluid Warning Light — If
Equipped
This warning light will illuminate when the
windshield washer fluid is low.
— Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diag -
nostic System called OBD II that monitors
engine and automatic transmission control
systems. This warning light will illuminate
when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position
before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the ignition switch
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly. Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may
illuminate the light after engine start. The
vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving styles. In
most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may
flash to alert serious conditions that could
lead to immediate loss of power or severe
catalytic converter damage. The vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer
as soon as possible if this occurs. WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as
referenced above, can reach higher
temperatures than in normal operating
conditions. This can cause a fire if you
drive slowly or park over flammable
substances such as dry plants, wood,
cardboard, etc. This could result in death
or serious injury to the driver, occupants or
others.

Checking Oil Level — Gasoline Engine
To ensure proper lubrication of your vehicle's
engine, the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. The engine oil level should
be checked five minutes after a warmed up
engine has been shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings. Always maintain the oil level
within the SAFE zone on the dipstick. Adding
1 quart (0.95 liters) of oil when the reading
is at the bottom of the crosshatch zone will
result in a reading at the top of the cross-
hatch zone on these engines.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield
washers and the rear window washer (if
equipped) is shared. The fluid reservoir is
located in the engine compartment. Be sure
to check the fluid level at regular intervals.
Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent only (not radiator antifreeze). When
refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take some
washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel
and wipe clean the wiper blades; this will
help blade performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu -
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers. WARNING!

Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable vapors
may be present, with the risk of fire.

Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for vehi -
cles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
Commercial windshield washer solvents
are flammable. They could ignite and burn
you. Care must be exercised when filling or
working around the washer solution.

Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a mainte
-
nance-free battery. You will never have to
add water, nor is periodic maintenance
required.
Pressure Washing
WARNING!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a
battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be
equipped with two batteries. Bot the main
and the supplemental batteries must be
disconnected to completely de-energize the
12 volt electrical system.

Serious injury or death could result if you
do not disconnect both batteries. To
learn how to properly disconnect, see
your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi -
tive (+) and negative (-) and are
identified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.

If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is
in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle
battery cables before connecting the charger
to the battery. Do not use a “fast charger” to
provide starting voltage.

WARNING! (Continued)
Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will
be equipped with two batteries. Both the
main and the supplemental batteries
must be disconnected to completely
de-energize the 12 volt electrical
system.
If the negative battery cables are not
isolated properly it can cause a potential
power spike or surge in the system,
resulting in damage to essential elec-
trical components.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the engine compartment with a
high pressure washer is not recommended.
Precautions have been taken to safeguard
all parts and connections however, the
pressures generated by these machines is
such that complete protection against
water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
CAUTION! (Continued)
