This spring helps you know which gear you are in when you are shifting.
STARTING AND OPERATING 253 CAUTION! Earlier upshifts during cruise conditions (relatively steady speeds) may result in increased fuel economy. Always make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into REVERSE. Failure to do so may result in transmission damage. Higher upshift speeds may be used to obtain a desired acceleration rate. NOTE: You must always use first gear (or Reverse) when starting • Your vehicle is equipped with a transmission reverse inhibitor system.
254 STARTING AND OPERATING with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal released), but it may also be heard when driving at low engine RPM. Also, this may be more noticeable when the transmission is warm. This is a normal condition and is not an indication of a problem with your clutch or transmission. When the “1–4 Skip Shift Indicator Message” is displayed, the shift mechanism will only allow shifts from first gear to fourth gear.
STARTING AND OPERATING 255 CAUTION! CAUTION! (Continued) • If you skip more than one gear while downshifting or downshift at too high an engine speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch. • Do not downshift into first gear when the vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), as you could damage the engine and/or clutch. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
256 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL 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 reverse. 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.
STARTING AND OPERATING 257 • The 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 or soft until after the break-in period. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles. The shift lever is automatically locked while in the PARK position.
258 STARTING AND OPERATING Over-Temperature Mode The transmission electronics constantly monitor the transmission oil temperature. If the transmission exceeds normal operating temperature, the transmission will change the way it shifts to help control the condition. This may result in a slightly different feeling or response during normal operation in DRIVE position. After the transmission cools down, it will return to normal operation.
STARTING AND OPERATING 259 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position (RUN position with Keyless Go™) without starting the engine. 2. Firmly set the parking brake. 3.

The transmission will remain in the current gear until an upshift or downshift is chosen. When you wish to disengage AutoStick威, hold the shift lever to the right for at least two seconds.
266 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.). Traction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface.
STARTING AND OPERATING 267 CAUTION! • Due to lower ground clearance, driving your vehicle up steep driveways, approach ramps or near parking blocks may cause damage to the front fascia and ground effects. • Driving through snow more than 4 inches (100 mm) deep may cause damage to the front fascia and ground effects. Flowing/Rising Water WARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
268 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle. • Determine the condition of the road or the path that is under water, and if there are any obstacles in the way, before driving through the standing water. • Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water. This will minimize wave effects.
STARTING AND OPERATING 269 WARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water. • Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s braking capabilities, which increases stopping distances.

Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. • Do not leave the key fob in the ignition switch.
274 STARTING AND OPERATING BRAKE SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capability, the remaining system will still function. There will be some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This may be evident by increased pedal travel during application, greater pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential activation of the “Brake Warning Light.
STARTING AND OPERATING 275 You also may experience the following when the brake system goes into Anti-Lock: • The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the stop), • The clicking sound of solenoid valves, • Brake pedal pulsations, and • A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop. These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
276 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.
STARTING AND OPERATING 277 If both the “Brake Warning Light” and the “ABS Warning Light” remain on, the ABS and EBD systems are not functioning. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions by controlling hydraulic brake pressure. This prevents wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
278 STARTING AND OPERATING Traction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. Brake Assist System (BAS) This system complements the ABS by optimizing the vehicle braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers.
STARTING AND OPERATING 279 WARNING! The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner that could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others. brake pedal.
280 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! There may be situations on minor hills (i.e., less than 8%), with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer, when the system will not activate and slight rolling may occur. This could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.

296 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMATION Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
STARTING AND OPERATING 297 WARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement.
298 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the winter.

302 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! WARNING! (Continued) • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling and stress to steering and suspension components. You could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
STARTING AND OPERATING 303 SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during the winter. Standard tires are of the all season type and satisfy this requirement as indicated by the M+S designation on the tire sidewall. If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only in sets of four. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
304 STARTING AND OPERATING Tire Rotation – Four Season/RSA Tires Tire Rotation – F1 Three Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped The suggested rotation method is the “side-to-side” as with all season tires is the “forward-cross” as shown in shown in the following diagram. This method is required the following diagram. due to different size tires on the front and rear of the vehicle.
STARTING AND OPERATING 305 TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressure. The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning limit for any reason, including low temperature effects and natural pressure loss through the tire. The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C).
306 STARTING AND OPERATING For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressure to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa). This tire pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn ON the “TPM Telltale Light.
