IDENTIFICATION DATA
Vehicle Identification Number
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is found on the
left front corner of the instrument panel, visible through
the windshield. This number also appears on the vehicle
frame and underbody as well as the Automobile Informa-
tion Disclosure Label affixed to a window on your vehicle,
the vehicle registration and title.
NOTE:It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake sys-
tems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal
capability, the remaining system will still function. How-
ever, there will be some loss of overall braking effective-
ness. You may notice increased pedal travel during appli-
cation, greater pedal force required to slow or stop, and
potential activation of the “Brake System Warning Light”.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,
repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes
will still function. However, the effort required to brake the
vehicle will be much greater than that required with the
power system operating.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that
the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a
wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly cali-
brated torque wrench using a high quality six sided (hex)
deep wall socket.

**Use only your authorized dealer recommended lug nuts/
bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting the
tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles. Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each
nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure that the socket is
fully engaged on the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it half-
way).
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/bolt torque to be
sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are properly seated against
the wheel.

STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS
The remote sound system controls are located on the
surface of the steering wheel.
The right-hand control is a rocker-type switch and controls
the SCAN functions of the sound system.
The left-hand control is a rocker-type switch and controls
the volume of the sound system plus a button to mute the
Sound System.
The following describes the right-hand control operation in
each mode.
Radio Operation
Pushing the top of the switch will “Scan” up for the next
listenable station and pushing the bottom of the switch will
“Scan” down for the next listenable station.
Player Operation
Pushing the switch up once will go to the next track on the
Player. Pushing the switch down once will go to the
beginning of the current track, or to the beginning of the
previous track if it is within one second after the current
track begins to play.
If you push the switch up or down twice, it plays the
second track; three times, it will play the third, etc.
IPOD/USB/MP3 CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The USB Port and Auxiliary Jack is located on the instru-
ment panel left of the radio (driver ’s lower right). This
feature allows an iPod or external USB device to be
plugged into the USB port.Remote Sound System Controls
