

You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to

inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes with two

needles, located in the Accessory Storage

Compartment (on the bottom of the air pump)

for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflat

able items. However, use only the Air Pump

Hose and make sure the Mode Select Knob is in

the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid

injecting sealant into them. The Tire Service Kit

Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less

than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in the tread of

your tire.



Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the

hoses.

WARNING!



WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative

(-) post of the discharged battery. The resulting

electrical spark could cause the battery to

explode and could result in personal injury.

CAUTION!

Do not run the booster vehicle engine above

2,000 RPM since it provides no charging benefit,

wastes fuel, and can damage booster vehicle

engine.

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power

outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,

even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.).

Eventually, if plugged in long enough without

engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will

discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life

and/or prevent the engine from starting.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be

serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce

the potential for overheating your engine by taking

the appropriate action.



On the highways — slow down.



In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans

mission in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase

engine idle speed.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top

off” the fuel tank after filling.

WARNING!



Never have any smoking materials lit in or

near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or

the tank is being filled.



Never add fuel when the engine is running.

This is in violation of most state and federal

fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc

tion Indicator Light to turn on.



A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle.

You could be burned. Always place fuel

containers on the ground while filling.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage

your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads

“H”, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the

vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until

the pointer drops back into the normal range. If

the pointer remains on the “H” and you hear

continuous chimes, turn the engine off

immediately and call for service.

WARNING!

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

241

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down an

impending overheat condition:



If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The

A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling

system and turning the A/C off can help remove

this heat.



You can also turn the temperature control to

maximum heat, the mode control to floor and

the blower control to high. This allows the heater

core to act as a supplement to the radiator and

aids in removing heat from the engine cooling

system.

GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE

If a malfunction occurs and the gear selector

cannot be moved out of the PARK (P) position, you

can use the following procedure to temporarily

move the gear selector:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, carefully

separate the shifter bezel and boot assembly

from the center console, and raise it up to

access the gear selector mechanism.

Shifter Bezel/Boot

4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake

pedal.

5. 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.

Override Access Hole

6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL (N)

position.

7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL

(N).

8. Reinstall the gear selector boot.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine

coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator.

If you see or hear steam coming from under the

hood, do not open the hood until the radiator

has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling

system pressure cap when the radiator or

coolant bottle is hot.

242

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

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. Push and hold the lock

button on the gear selector. Then shift back and

forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R), while

gently pressing the accelerator.

NOTE:

Shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) can only

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

less. Whenever the transmission remains in

NEUTRAL (N) for more than two seconds, you must

press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE (D) or

REVERSE (R).
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal

pressure that will maintain the rocking motion

without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.

NOTE:

Push the ESC OFF button (if necessary), to place

the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in

“Partial Off” mode, before rocking the vehicle

page 171. Once the vehicle has been freed,

push the ESC OFF button again to restore “ESC On”

mode.

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 seconds

continuously without stopping when you are

stuck and do not let anyone near a spinning

wheel, no matter what the speed.

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 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).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

243

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
If the transmission and drivetrain are operable, disabled 4x4 vehicles may also be towed

page 142.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, following

equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing device to main structural members of the vehicle,

not to fascia/bumper or associated brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.

NOTE:



You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake feature is disabled before towing this vehicle, to avoid inadvertent Electric Park Brake engagement. The Auto Park

Brake feature is enabled or disabled via the customer programmable features in the Uconnect Settings.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULED SERVICING

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. This

means that service is required for your vehicle.

Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips,

trailer tow, or extremely hot or cold ambient

temperatures will influence when the “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. If a scheduled oil change is performed

by someone other than an authorized dealer, the

message can be reset by referring to the steps

described under Instrument Cluster Display

page 75.

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.
