Warning
Turn the vehicle off before opening the
hood. If the engine is running with the
hood open, you or others could be
injured.
Warning
Components under the hood can get hot
from running the engine...
To ensure proper engine performance and
long life, careful attention must be paid to
engine oil. Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect your
investment:
Use engine oil approved to the proper
specification and of the proper viscosity
grade...
Other information:
When it is dark enough outside and the
exterior lamp control is in the automatic
position, the headlamps come on
automatically. See Exterior Lamp Controls.
The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not
covered, or the headlamps will be on when
they are not needed...
If equipped with Rainsense, a sensor near
the top center of the windshield detects the
amount of water on the windshield and
controls the frequency of the windshield
wiper.
Keep the sensor free from debris to allow
for best system performance.
INT : When enabled, move the windshield
wiper lever to INT...
