Do not store the cargo cover on the cargo floor or in the passenger compartment. Remove the cover from the vehicle when taken from its mounting. Do not store in the vehicle. Cargo Tie-Down Hooks The tie-downs located on cargo area floor should be used to safely secure loads when vehicle is moving. 120 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! † Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or colli- sion a hook could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child seat tethers. † The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control result- ing in personal injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle: † Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits described on the label attached to the left door or left door center pillar. Refer to “Vehicle Loading” in Sec- tion 5 for additional information on cargo weights. † Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible. † Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. † Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision. WARNING! To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts. ROOF LUGGAGE RACK External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity. This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack. If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and install Mopart cross rails built specifically for this roof rack system or a number of after market rails that are tailored to your life-style or activities. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 121 CAUTION! † To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without cross rails installed. The load should be secured and placed on top of the cross rails, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other protection between the load and the roof surface. † To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the rated load capacity of your cross rail system or the roof rack system maximum load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. † Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. † Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is espe- cially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle. 122 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack “Cautions” when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

Radio Broadcast Signals Your new radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op- eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals. Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound. 136 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal. AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs. FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio.

Do not use cassette tapes longer than C-90; otherwise, sound quality and tape durability will be greatly dimin- ished. 2. Keep the cassette tape in its case to protect from slackness and dust when it is not in use. 3. Keep the cassette tape away from direct sunlight, heat and magnetic fields such as the radio speakers. 4. Before inserting a tape, make sure that the label is adhering flatly to the cassette. 5. A loose tape should be corrected before use. To rewind a loose tape, insert the eraser end of a pencil into the tape drive gear and twist the pencil in the required directions. Maintain your cassette tape player. The head and capstan shaft in the cassette player can pick up dirt or tape deposits each time a cassette is played. The result of deposits on the capstan shaft may cause the tape to wrap around and become lodged in the tape transport. The other adverse condition is low or “muddy” sound from one or both channels, as if the treble tone control were turned all the way down. To prevent this, you should periodically clean the head with a commercially available WET cleaning cassette. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 163 As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30 hours of use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty (noticeably poor sound), it may not be possible to remove all deposits with a simple WET cleaning cassette. CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE To keep the CD/DVD discs in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the surface. 2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge. 3. Do not apply paper, paper CD labels, or tape to the disc; avoid scratching the disc. 4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners, or antistatic sprays. 5. Store the disc in its case after playing. 164 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. 7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become too high. RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES Under certain conditions, the cellular phone being On in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna. This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be turned down or off during cellular phone operation.

Air flows through the outlets located in the instrument panel. Use this mode to rapidly cool the inside of the vehicle. The Recirculation mode can also be used to temporarily block out outside odors, smoke, and dust. Panel Air flows through the outlets located in the instru- ment panel. Bi-Level Air flows both through the outlets located in the instrument panel and those located on the floor. Floor Air flows through the floor outlets located under the instrument panel and into the rear seating area through vents under the front seats. Defrost/Floor Air flows through the front and rear floor outlets and the outlets at the base of the windshield. Defrost Air is directed to the windshield through the outlets at the base of the windshield. NOTE: To improve fuel economy, leave in defrost only when necessary. Infrared Dual-Zone Climate Control — If Equipped The Infrared Dual-Zone Climate Control System auto- matically maintains the interior comfort level desired by the driver and passenger. This is accomplished by using a dual infrared sensor located in the face of the control unit. The dual infrared sensor independently measures the surface temperature of the driver and passenger. Based on the sensor input, the system automatically adjusts the air flow temperature, the air flow volume, and UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 167 amount of outside air recirculation. This maintains a comfortable temperature even under changing condi- tions. Operation of the system is quite simple. Begin by turning the right mode knob to AUTO. Dial in the temperature you would like the system to maintain by rotating the driver’s or passenger’s control knob. Once the comfort 168 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL level is displayed the system will maintain that level automatically using the heating system. Should the de- sired comfort level require air conditioning, the system will automatically make the adjustment. You may notice the blower speed getting lower as the difference between the driver and passenger temperature settings gets larger. This is an extreme condition and the airflow may not perform as anticipated. The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric by selecting the US/M customer programmable feature. Refer to the “Overhead Console-Customer Program- mable Features” in Section 3 of this manual. The left knob controls the blower fan. Within the AUTO setting on this control, you can select a HI volume of air from the blower or a LO volume. Once the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the setting. You will experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to function automatically. Manual Operation However, this system does offer a full complement of manual override features. There is a manual blower range used when the AUTO setting is not desired. The left control can be set to any fixed blower speed by rotating the knob from LO to HI on the upper portion of the dial. The operator can override the AUTO mode setting and select the direction of the air by rotating the right mode knob to one of the following positions. † Defrost Air is directed to the windshield through the outlets at the base of the windshield. † Defrost/Floor Air flows through the front and rear floor outlets and the outlets at the base of the windshield. † Floor † Bi-Level † Panel Air flows through the floor outlets located under the instrument panel and into the rear seating area through vents under the front seats. Air flows both through the outlets located in the instrument panel and those located on the floor. Air flows through the outlets located in the in- strument panel. † OFF This position turns off the entire system. Depress the A/C button to turn on and off the air conditioning during manual operation only. Conditioned outside air is then directed through the outlets selected on the mode control dial. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 169 When the outside air contains smoke, odors, high humid- ity, or if rapid cooling is desired you may wish to recirculate interior air by pressing the “Recirculate” icon button. The recirculation mode should only be used temporarily. The light on the A/C and “Recirculate” icon buttons will illuminate when these buttons are selected. You may use these features separately or with one another. Push in on the buttons a second time to change the functions. If the interior of the windows begins to fog, NOTE: press the “Recirculate” icon button to return to outside air. Some temp./humidity conditions will cause captured interior air to condense on windows and hamper visibil- ity. For this reason, the system will not allow “Recircu- late” to be selected while in the defrost or defrost/floor modes. To provide you with maximum comfort in the automatic mode, during cold start-ups the blower fan will remain 170 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL off until the engine warms up. However, the fan will engage immediately if the defrost mode is selected or if you select a fixed blower speed. Window Fogging Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild rainy or humid weather. To clear the windows, use the A/C, panel, and blower controls. Direct the panel outlets toward the side windows. Recirculate without A/C should not be used for long periods as fogging may occur. Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly removed by using the defrost mode. REAR WINDOW FEATURES Rear Window Wiper/Washer A switch on the right side of the steering column controls operation of the rear wiper/washer function. Rotating the center of the switch up to the DEL (Delay) position or the ON position will activate the wiper. Push the lever forward to initiate the wash function in any of the three positions. The wash pump will continue to operate as long as the button is pressed. Upon release, the wipers will cycle three times before returning to the set position. If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return to the “Park” position. UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 171 Rear Window Defroster In the lower left of the climate control panel is a push button for rear window defrosting. An am- ber indicator in the push button will light when the defroster is turned on. Push again to turn off the defroster prior to an automatic time-out. If the liftgate flipper glass is open, connection to the rear window wiper is interrupted preventing activation of the rear wiper blade. When the liftgate flipper glass is closed, the rear wiper switch or the ignition switch needs to be turned OFF and ON to restart the rear wiper. Adding Washer Fluid The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radia- tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water. 172 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL The defroster will automatically turn off after about ten minutes. For about five more minutes of operation, push the button again. To prevent excessive battery drain, use the defroster only when the engine is operating. The push button also activates the heated exterior mirrors, if so equipped. CAUTION! Use care when washing the inside of the rear win- dow to prevent damage to heating elements. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating elements. Also, keep all objects a safe distance from the window to prevent damaging the heating elements.

WARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death. The gear selector must be in the N (Neutral) or P (Park) position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting to any driving gear. Normal Starting Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. Turn the key to the START position and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedure. WARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury. Extreme Cold Weather (below –20°F (–29°C) To insure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from your authorized dealer) is recommended. If Engine Fails to Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather” proce- dures, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded. STARTING AND OPERATING 177 NOTE: To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel- erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor. Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly. If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15– second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor, the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather” procedures should be repeated. 178 STARTING AND OPERATING After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running. ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a standard 110-115 volt AC electrical outlet with grounded, three wire extension cord. Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) are expected to last for several days. The engine block heater cord is located: † 6-cylinder engine — bundled and fastened to the † V-8 engine — coiled and strapped to the transmission injector rail between injectors 1 and 2. filler tube. WARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The pointer on the selector indicates the transmission gear range (selector is illuminated for night driving). Start the engine with the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position. STARTING AND OPERATING 179 NOTE: When the ignition is in the ON position, the brake pedal must be pressed to move the gearshift lever out of P (Park). WARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal. 180 STARTING AND OPERATING Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System (BTSI) This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift interlock system (BTSI) that holds the gearshift lever in the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in an unlocked position. To move the gear selector lever out of the P (Park) position, the ignition switch must be turned to the OFF, ON, or START position, the brake pedal and the button on the front side of the shifter handle must be depressed. Electronically Controlled Five Speed Automatic Transmission (4.7L Engine Only) This electronically controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a couple hundred miles (kilometers). Protect Mode - Electronically Controlled Transmission (4.7L Engine Only) This transmission is monitored electronically for abnor- mal conditions. If an abnormal condition is detected, the transmission’s electronic controller will automatically select direct gear (in the Drive position) or 2nd gear (in the 2 or 1 position). This feature will allow the vehicle to be driven to the dealer for service minimizing any damage to the transmission. Some conditions that will cause the transmission to use this alternate gear selection are momentary and the transmission can be reset to the normal shift program by performing the following: † Stop the vehicle and shift into P (Park). † Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then † Shift into the desire shift range and resume driving. restart the engine. NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, it is recommend that you see your dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Your dealer has the proper diag- nostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur. If the transmission is cannot be reset, dealer service is required. Gear Ranges DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) position into another gear range. P—Park Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis- sion. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always
