WHY CHOOSE
GENUINE PARTS

or improvements in its products with-
out imposing any obligations upon it-
self to install them on products previ-
ously manufactured.
The Owner's Manual illustrates and
describes the features that are stan-
dard or available as extra cost op-
tions. Therefore, some of the equip-
ment and accessories in this
publication may not appear on your
vehicle.
NOTE: Be sure to read the Own-
er's Manual first before driving
your vehicle and before attaching
or installing parts/accessories or
making other modifications to the
vehicle.
In view of the many replacement parts
and accessories from various manu-
facturers available on the market, the
manufacturer cannot be certain that
the driving safety of your vehicle will
not be impaired by the attachment orinstallation of such parts. Even if such
parts are officially-approved (for ex-
ample, by a general operating permit
for the part or by constructing the
part in an officially approved design),
or if an individual operating permit
was issued for the vehicle after the
attachment or installation of such
parts, it cannot be implicitly assumed
that the driving safety of your vehicle
is unimpaired. Therefore, neither ex-
perts nor official agencies are liable.
The manufacturer only assumes re-
sponsibility when parts, which are ex-
pressly authorized or recommended
by the manufacturer, are attached or
installed at an authorized dealer. The
same applies when modifications to
the original condition are subse-
quently made on the manufacturer's
vehicles.
Your warranties do not cover any part
that the manufacturer did not supply.
Nor do they cover the cost of anyrepairs or adjustments that might be
caused or needed because of the in-
stallation or use of non-manufacturer
parts, components, equipment, mate-
rials, or additives. Nor do your war-
ranties cover the costs of repairing
damage or conditions caused by any
changes to your vehicle that do not
comply with the manufacturers speci-
fications.
Original parts and accessories and
other products approved by the
manufacturer, including qualified
advice, are available at your autho-
rized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember
that your authorized dealer knows
your vehicle best, has the factory-
trained technicians and genuine
parts, and is interested in your satis-
faction.

GENERAL INFORMATIONTransmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as
required by EEC regulations. These
devices must be certified to conform to
specific regulations in each individual
country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommu-
nication Standard) 300–220, which
most countries use, and German BZT
federal regulation 225Z125, which
is based on ETC 300–220 but has
additional unique requirements. Other
defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIREC-
TIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmfulinterference.
This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery
is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull
the inside door handle to the first de-
tent. To unlock the rear doors, pull the
door lock knob on the door trim panel
upward.
If the door lock knob is down when
you shut the door, the door will lock.
Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.
WARNING!
 For personal security and safety
in the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law en-
forcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac-
cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR. CHILD RESTRAINTS
Everyone in your vehicle needs to
be buckled up all the time, including
babies and children.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crash
statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
WARNING!
 “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward-facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air bag
in front of it!” Refer to visor and
door shut face mounted labels for
information.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can be-
come a projectile inside the ve-
hicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could
not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and
others could be badly injured.
Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn
size to the child almost large enough
for an adult safety belt. Always check
the child seat Owner's Manual to en-
sure you have the correct seat for your
child. Use the restraint that is correct
for your child.
46

NOTE: Ensure that the tether
strap does not slip into the opening
between the seatbacks as you re-
move slack in the strap.WARNING!An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchor positions directly
behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap.Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet will be thrown about and possibly
injured, or injure a passenger during
panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts.ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required
for the engine and drivetrain (trans-
mission and axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first
500 km. After the initial 100 km, speeds
up to 80 or 90 km/h are desirable.While cruising, brief full-throttle ac-
celeration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.The engine oil installed in the engine at
the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle
operations will occur. For the recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”. NON-
DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MIN-
ERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE USED.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilo-
meters of operation. This should be
considered a normal part of the
break-in and not interpreted as an
indication of difficulty.
Additional Requirements
For Diesel Engine
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle.
Do not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed for each
gear. Change gear in good time. Do
not shift down a gear manually in
order to brake.

Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat BeltsInspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be re-
placed after a collision. Rear seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding
belt or retractor condition, replace the
belt.Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light
is not lit during starting, see your
authorized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the
vehicle that cannot be properly
secured to prevent them from
moving and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional floor
mats and other coverings will re-
duce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals. Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot-
well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.

there will be no visual or audible alerts
from either the BSM or RCP systems.NOTE:
The BSM system will store
the current operating mode when
the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.
Astronomy Zone — System
Temporarily Unavailable
The astronomy zone is when the ve-
hicles sensors cannot receive the sig-
nal of another vehicle approaching
due to interference in the reception of
the wavelength signal. When the ve-
hicle enters this zone the blind spot
system will become temporarily un-
available and the EVIC will display
the message “ Blind spot system
unavailable-Astronomy zone”. The
side mirrors LED’s will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone. UCONNECT™ PHONE

mand period.
 Performance is maximized under:  low-to-medium blower setting,
 low-to-medium vehicle speed,
 low road noise,
 smooth road surface,
 fully closed windows,
 dry weather condition. 
Even though the system is designed
for several different accents, the sys-
tem may not always work for some. When navigating through an auto-
mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, before speak-
ing the digit string, make sure to
say “Send”.
 Storing names in your favorites phonebook when the vehicle is not
in motion is recommended.

Certain conditions, such as poor fuel
quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL
after engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles. In
most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing.CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, 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, occu-
pants or others.

11. Fuel Door ReminderThe arrow in this symbol is
a reminder that the Fuel
Filler Door is located on the
left side of the vehicle.
12. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in
the fuel tank when the ignition switch
is in the ON/RUN position.
13. Air Bag Warning Light
This light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the ignition
switch is first turned to ON/
RUN. If the light is either not on during

sible. Refer to “Occupant Restraints”
in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information.
14. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and park-
ing brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate
that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock
brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the park-
ing brake has been disengaged, and
the fluid level is at the full mark on
the master cylinder reservoir, it indi-
cates a possible brake hydraulic sys-
tem malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been de-
tected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system. In this case, the light
will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is re-
lated to the brake booster, the ABS
pump will run when applying the
brake and a brake pedal pulsation
may be felt during each stop.
