TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to

mounting the tire and remove any corrosion or

loose particles.

Wheel Mounting Surface

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 halfway).

NOTE:

If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them

checked with a torque wrench by an authorized

dealer or service station.
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.

Torque Patterns

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

While operating on gasoline with the required

octane number, hearing a light knocking sound

from the engine is not a cause for concern.

However, if the engine is heard making a heavy

knocking sound, see a dealer immediately. Use of

gasoline with a lower than recommended octane

number can cause engine failure and may void the

New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as

hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you

experience these symptoms, try another brand of

gasoline before considering service for the vehicle.

3.6L E

NGINE

This engine is designed to meet all

emission regulations and provide

excellent fuel economy and

performance when using high-quality

unleaded regular gasoline having an octane rating

of 87 as specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use

of higher octane premium gasoline will not provide

any benefit over regular gasoline in these engines.

5.7L E

NGINE

Do not use E-85 flex fuel or ethanol blends greater

than 15% in this engine.

This engine is designed to meet all

emission regulations and provide

satisfactory fuel economy and

performance when using high-quality

unleaded gasoline having an octane range of 87 to

89 as specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use of

89 octane plus gasoline is recommended for

optimum performance and fuel economy.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the

jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully until

the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow

this warning may result in personal injury.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

265

EFORMULATED

ASOLINE

Many areas of the country require the use of

cleaner-burning gasoline referred to as

“reformulated gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline

contains oxygenates and are specifically blended

to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air

quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is recommended.

Properly blended reformulated gasoline will

provide improved performance and durability of

engine and fuel system components.

ATERIALS

DDED

UEL

Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper

octane rating, gasolines that contain detergents,

corrosion and stability additives are

recommended. Using gasolines that have these

additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce

emissions, and maintain vehicle performance.

Designated TOP TIER Detergent

Gasoline contains a higher level of

detergents to further aide in minimizing

engine and fuel system deposits. When

available, the usage of TOP TIER Detergent

Gasoline is recommended. Visit

www.toptiergas.com

for a list of TOP TIER

Detergent Gasoline Retailers.

Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents

should be avoided. Many of these materials

intended for gum and varnish removal may contain

active solvents or similar ingredients. These can

harm fuel system gasket and diaphragm materials.

ASOLINE

XYGENATE

LENDS

Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with

oxygenates such as ethanol.

Problems that result from using gasoline

containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or

gasoline containing methanol are not the

responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or

not be covered under New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

E-85 I

-F

LEX

UEL

EHICLES

Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with

gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E-15). Use

of gasoline with higher ethanol content may void

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with

E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these

symptoms:



Operate in a lean mode.



OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on.



Poor engine performance.



Poor cold start and cold drivability.



Increased risk for fuel system component

corrosion.

CNG A

LP F

UEL

YSTEM

ODIFICATIONS

Modifications that allow the engine to run on

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid Propane

(LP) may result in damage to the engine,

emissions, and fuel system components. Problems

that result from running CNG or LP are not the

responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or

not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

CAUTION!

DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing methanol,

or gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol

(E-15). Use of these blends may result in starting

and drivability problems, damage critical fuel

system components, cause emissions to exceed

the applicable standard, and/or cause the

Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate. Please

observe pump labels as they should clearly

communicate if a fuel contains greater than

15% ethanol (E-15).

ETHYLCYCLOPENTADIENYL

ANGANESE

RICARBONYL

(MMT) I

ASOLINE

MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive

that is blended into some gasoline to increase

octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no

performance advantage beyond gasoline of the

same octane number without MMT. Gasoline

blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and

reduces emissions system performance in some

vehicles. The manufacturer recommends that

gasoline without MMT be used in your vehicle. The

MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on

the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your

gasoline retailer whether the gasoline contains

MMT. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California

reformulated gasoline.

UEL

YSTEM

AUTIONS

NOTE:

Intentional tampering with the emissions control

system can result in civil penalties being assessed

against you.

CAUTION!

Follow these guidelines to maintain your

vehicle’s performance:



The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by

Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can impair

engine performance and damage the emis

sions control system.



An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition

malfunctions can cause the catalytic

converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent

burning odor or some light smoke, your engine

may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may

require immediate service. Contact an autho

rized dealer for service assistance.



The use of fuel additives, which are now being

sold as octane enhancers, is not recom

mended. Most of these products contain high

concentrations of methanol. Fuel system

damage or vehicle performance problems

resulting from the use of such fuels or addi

tives is not the responsibility of the manufac

turer and may void or not be covered under

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!



Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and

may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Tech

nology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the

cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.



Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be

compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.



This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)

is not recommended.
