6. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down

into the gear selector override access hole (at

the right front corner of the gear selector

assembly), and push and hold the override

release lever down.

7. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL

position.

8. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
9. Reinstall the gear selector bezel.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or

snow, it can often be moved using a rocking

motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to

clear the area around the front wheels. Then shift

back and forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE

(R), while gently pressing the accelerator. Use the

least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that

will maintain the rocking motion, without spinning

the wheels or racing the engine.

Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be

achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or

less. Whenever the transmission remains in

NEUTRAL for more than two seconds, you must

press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or

REVERSE.

NOTE:

Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial OFF”

mode, before rocking the vehicle

page 176.

Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF

button again to restore “ESC On” mode.

CAUTION!



Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may

lead to transmission overheating and failure.

Allow the engine to idle with the transmission

in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every

five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize

overheating and reduce the risk of clutch or

transmission failure during prolonged efforts

to free a stuck vehicle.



When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting

between DRIVE/SECOND gear and REVERSE,

do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph

(24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.



Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too

fast may lead to transmission overheating and

failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not

spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h)

while in gear (no transmission shifting occur

ring).

WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces

generated by excessive wheel speeds may

cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and

tires. A tire could explode and injure someone.

Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than

30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 sec

onds continuously without stopping when you

are stuck and do not let anyone near a spinning

wheel, no matter what the speed.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil

change indicator system. The oil change indicator

system will remind you that it is time to take your

vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil

change indicator message will illuminate in the

instrument cluster. This means that service is

required for your vehicle. Operating conditions

such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and

extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will

influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change

Required” message is displayed. Have your vehicle

serviced as soon as possible, within the next

500 miles (805 km).

An authorized dealer will reset the oil change

indicator message after completing the scheduled

oil change.

NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change

intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),

12 months or 350 hours of engine run time,

whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine

run or idle time is generally only a concern for fleet

customers.

NOTE:

The Oil Change Indicator will not illuminate under

these conditions.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:



Check engine oil level.



Check windshield washer fluid level.



Check the tire inflation pressures and look for

unusual wear or damage.



Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir,

and brake master cylinder reservoir, and fill as

needed.



Check function of all interior and exterior lights.

HECKING

EVEL

To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil

must be maintained at the correct level. Check the

oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel

stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is

about five minutes after a fully warmed up engine

is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground

will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.

NOTE:

The dipstick is integral with the cap.
Engine Oil Cap/Dipstick Installation
Install the oil cap/dipstick aligning arrow on the

cap with arrow on the engine cover and then screw

the cap down.

There are four possible dipstick types:



Crosshatched zone.



Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.



Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low

end of the range and MAX at the high end of the

range.



Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the

MIN and the MAX ends of the range.

NOTE:

Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch

markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1 liter) of oil when the reading is at

the low end of the dipstick range will raise the oil

level to the high end of the range marking.

with cracks running along a rib must be replaced.

Also have the belt replaced if it has excessive wear,

frayed cords or severe glazing.

WARNING!

The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses,

etc.) can provide a measure of protection in the

case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air

induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) unless

such removal is necessary for repair or

Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the

windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth

and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove

accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long

periods may cause deterioration of the wiper

blades. Always use washer fluid when using the

wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice

from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of

contact with petroleum products such as engine

oil, gasoline, etc.

NOTE:

Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending

on geographical area and frequency of use. Poor

performance of blades may be present with chat

tering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of

these conditions are present, clean the wiper

blades or replace as necessary.
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be

inspected periodically, not just when wiper

performance problems are experienced. This

inspection should include the following points:



Wear or uneven edges



Foreign material



Hardening or cracking



Deformation or fatigue

If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged, replace

the affected wiper arm or blade with a new unit. Do

not attempt to repair a wiper arm or blade that is

damaged.

Service Position Strategy

The service position allows the wiper blades to be

placed in a position that allows the wiper blades to

be easily changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the wipers

must be in the Park position before placing the

ignition in the OFF position.

Service Mode must be activated within two

minutes after the ignition is placed in the OFF

position.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the Service

Position command (anti-panic) must be active for

at least half a second.
At every valid activation of Service Position

command, the wiper blades are activated for

250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated

several times to bring the blades into the desired

position, up to a maximum of three times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy is

disabled.
Function Deactivation:
The functionality is reset if:



The ignition is turned to the RUN position.



Number of subsequent activations is three.


