STARTING AND STOPPING
THE ENGINE – PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING:

Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start
the engine. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Do not use starting

fluid, for example ether, in the air intake
system. Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

Note:

If you use your vehicle regularly above

the altitude of 5,000 ft (1,524 m) and under
the temperature of -4.0°F (-20°C), it is
recommended to use the alternative engine
oil. See

Capacities and Specifications

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(IF

EQUIPPED)

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.

We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

191

Starting and Stopping the Engine

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and engine block
heater cord plug connections are free
and clear of water. This could cause an
electric shock or fire.

•

If the engine block heater cord is under
the hood, do not remove the wiring
from its original location. Do not close
the hood on the extension wiring.

•

Park your vehicle in a clean area, clear
of combustible materials.

•

Firmly connect the engine block heater
cord and the extension cord.

•

Check the extension cord for heat
anywhere when the system has been
operating for approximately 30
minutes.

•

Unplug and properly stow the system
before starting and driving your vehicle.
The protective cover seals the
terminals of the engine block heater
cord plug when not in use.

•

Check the engine block heater system
for proper operation before winter.

HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER WORK

The engine block heater warms the engine
coolant. This allows the climate control
system to quickly respond. The equipment
includes a heater element installed in the
engine block and a wire harness. You can
connect the system to a grounded 110 volt
AC electrical source.

Note:

The engine block heater is most

effective when outdoor temperatures are
below 0°F (-18°C). We recommend the use
of engine block heater to improve engine
cold start performance.

USING THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER

Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the engine block heater longer than
three hours does not improve system
performance and unnecessarily uses
electricity.

FUEL AND REFUELING
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Fuels can cause serious

injury or death if misused or mishandled.

WARNING:

Fuel may contain

benzene, which is a cancer-causing
agent.

WARNING:

Read and follow all the

instructions on the pump island.

WARNING:

When refueling always

shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.

Follow these guidelines when refueling:
•

Extinguish all smoking materials and
any open flames before refueling your
vehicle.

•

Switch the engine off before refueling.

•

Automotive fuels can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. Fuel is highly toxic
and if swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed
immediately call a physician, even if no
symptoms are immediately apparent.
The toxic effects of fuel may not be
apparent for hours.

•

Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling fuel
vapor can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of
fuel vapor can cause serious illness and
permanent injury.

•

Avoid getting fuel in your eyes. If you
splash fuel in your eyes, immediately
remove contact lenses, if worn, flush
with water for 15 minutes and seek
medical attention. Failure to seek
proper medical attention could lead to
permanent injury.

•

Fuels can be harmful if absorbed
through the skin. If you splash fuel on
your skin, clothing or both, promptly
remove contaminated clothing and
thoroughly wash your skin with soap
and water. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact causes skin irritation.

•

Be particularly careful if you are taking
Antabuse or other forms of Disulfiram
for the treatment of alcoholism.
Breathing fuel vapors could cause an
adverse reaction, serious personal
injury or sickness. Immediately call a
physician if you experience any adverse
reactions.

FUEL QUALITY

SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL

E161513

Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87.

Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

201

Fuel and Refueling

For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer. See

Towing a Trailer

(page 352).

Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal
vehicle and engine performance.

For additional information, visit

www.toptiergas.com

Note:

Use of any fuel for which the vehicle

was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.

Do not use:
•

Diesel fuel.

•

Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

•

Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.

•

Fuels containing methanol.

•

Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.

•

Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

•

Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.

The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl, which is a
manganese-based fuel additive, will impair
engine performance and affect the
emission control system.

LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER
FUNNEL

The fuel filler funnel is under the luggage
compartment floor covering.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

FILLING A PORTABLE FUEL
CONTAINER

WARNING:

Flow of fuel through a

fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.

Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:
•

Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.

•

Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).

•

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container when filling it.

•

Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.

WHAT IS THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER

The catalytic converter is part of your
vehicle's emissions system and filters
harmful pollutants from the exhaust gas.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and

HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE WORK

Using the 1-Speed Automatic Four-
Wheel Drive System

The 1-speed automatic four-wheel drive
system utilizes an electronically controlled
on-demand 1-speed transfer case. This
system monitors various vehicle sensory
inputs to provide an increased level of
performance. This system offers the driver
two-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive
auto and four-wheel drive high as available
modes of operation via the selectable drive
mode switch. When you select four-wheel
drive auto the system continuously varies
power to the front wheels for optimum
performance for all on-road conditions.
When you select four-wheel drive high the
system provides power to the front and
rear wheels for use in off-road or slippery
conditions such as deep snow, sand or
mud. There is further information on driving
in unique driving conditions. See

Driving

Hints

(page 383).

Using the 2-Speed Automatic
Four-Wheel Drive System

(If Equipped)

The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drive
system utilizes an electronically controlled
on-demand 2-speed transfer case. This
system monitors various vehicle sensory
inputs to provide an increased level of
performance. This system offers the driver
two-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive
auto, four-wheel drive high, and four-wheel
drive low as available modes of operation.
When you select four-wheel drive auto the
system continuously varies power to the
front wheels for optimum performance for
all on-road conditions. When you select
either four-wheel drive high or four-wheel
drive low with the appropriate drive modes,
the four-wheel drive system provides
electronically locked power to the front
and rear wheels for use in off-road or

slippery conditions such as deep snow,
sand or mud. Selecting four-wheel drive
low also provides additional gearing for
increased torque multiplication for
conditions like deep sand, snow, steep
slopes, or pulling heavy objects. See

Selecting a Four-Wheel Drive Mode

(page 215). Additionally, the system is
capable of recreational flat towing by
putting the transfer case into neutral (N).
See

Recreationally Towing Your

Vehicle

(page 394).

There is further information on driving in
unique driving conditions. See

Driving

Hints

(page 383).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Vehicles with a higher

center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.

WARNING:

Do not become

overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle could be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting stuck or damaging
underbody components. The differences
that make your vehicle so versatile also

214

Four-Wheel Drive

(If Equipped)

make it handle differently than an ordinary
passenger car. Always maintain steering
wheel control, especially in rough terrain.
Since sudden changes in terrain can result
in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure
you grip the steering wheel from the
outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive
cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from
concealed objects such as rocks and
stumps. Drive slower in strong crosswinds
which can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle. Be
extremely careful when driving on
pavement made slippery by loose sand,
water, gravel, snow or ice.

Note:

Do not use four-wheel drive high or

four-wheel drive low mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and can
damage drive components.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS

Operating Four-Wheel Drive with
a Spare or Mismatched Tires

(If

Equipped)

On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of
the spare tire can affect the four-wheel
drive system. If there is a significant
difference between the size of the spare
tire and the remaining tires, you could have
limited four-wheel drive functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, we
recommend that you do not:

•

Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) with a
four-wheel drive mode turned on.

•

Use a four-wheel drive mode on dry
pavement.

Driving with the full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can limit
four-wheel drive functionality. You can
experience the following:

•

Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.

Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:

•

Comfort and noise.

•

Winter weather driving capability.

•

Wet driving capability.

•

Four-wheel drive capability.

Note:

Your vehicle could have a front air

dam that can become damaged, due to
reduced ground clearance, when taking your
vehicle off-road. You can remove this air
dam by removing the eight bolts that secure
it.

Note:

Your vehicle could have side steps

that can become damaged, due to reduced
ground clearance, when taking your vehicle
off-road. Remove side steps before driving
your vehicle off-road.
