DrivingTips


Break-in periodFirst 600 miles: Avoid heavy braking and acceleration; drive atvarying road and engine speedsAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)*When brake pedal is pressed, ABSautomatically reduces hydraulicpressure to any wheel on theverge of locking upYou may feel a slight pulsing of thebrake pedal and hear a clicking noise;this tells you the ABS is functioningproperly; increase pressure on pedalfor maximum brakingTips: Maintain constant pressure on the brake pedalDo not pump the brakes

Unique driving conditions†

Every 5,000 miles change oil/filter, inspect coolant level, lights, brake/clutch fluid, tire pressure/wear, power steeringfluid, locks/hinges, washer fluidand rotate tiresMaintenance notes:Rotate tires every 7,500 miles or sooner if neededReplace cabin air filter once every 2 years or 25,000 miles†

Replace spark plugs every 100,000 miles (or 60,000 milesif following the Unique drivingconditions†)

Traction Control System*Automatically applies and releasesbrakes to prevent excessive wheelspin at all speeds, especially when accelerating on slippery surfacesTire economy and tipsCheck pressure at least monthlywhen tires are cold Maintain correct front-end alignment and tire balance; rotatetires at 7,500-mile intervals; seeOwner’s Manual for rotation chartTire pressureDecal on the edge of the driver’s door provides tire pressure information

A. Change: Engine oil/replace filterLubricate: All locks and hinges

B. Inspect: Disc brakesC. Inspect: Drive belts, fuel lines

and hoses, cooling system, brake lines, hoses and connections, drum brakes, steering operation and linkages, front suspension ball joints, driveshaft dust boots

D. Replace: Air filterE. Inspect: Exhaust system and

heat shieldsF. Inspect: PCV valve

Change: Engine coolant

Tire chains*†

Tire chains can damage aluminumwheels; use on steel wheels onlyTips: Use only SAE class “S”chains, install only on fronttires; install as tightly as possible and retighten after driving 1/4 -1/2 miles;chains may affect handlingNever exceed 30 mph with tire chains
