Driving Tips

Tire economy and tips

Check pressure monthly when
tires are cold, see Owner’s Manual
for rotation schedule and chart.

Tire pressure 

Decal on driver’s door latch 
pillar provides tire size and 
pressure information.

Tire chains*

†

Tire chains can damage 
aluminum wheels; use on 
steel wheels only.

Tips: Use only SAE class “S”
chains, install only on front
axles if vehicle is 2WD 
(with P235/70R

16

 tires) and 

on both axles if 4WD.  
Install as tightly as possible
and retighten periodically.
Never exceed 30 mph with 
tire chains.

Anti-lock Braking 
System (ABS)

ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up.
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a clicking
noise; this tells you the ABS is
functioning properly; increase pressure
on pedal for maximum braking.  

Tips: Maintain constant 
pressure on the brake pedal.
Do not pump the brakes.

ABS self test

A self-diagnostic test is performed
when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear
some noise, this is normal.

ABS active/Traction 
control

™

active*

Enhances traction and safety 
by regulating engine torque.
When TCS detects drive wheel
slippage it lowers engine torque
to prevent loss of traction.

A.

Change: Engine oil/replace filter
Inspect: Tire inflation pressure
and tire wear, rotate tires

B.

Inspect: High voltage battery 
A/C filter, replace if necessary

C.

Inspect: Brake pads, shoes, 
rotors, drums, brake lines/
hoses and parking brake

D.

Inspect: Engine and motor/
electronics cooling system and 
hoses

E.

F. 

Inspect: Exhaust system/
heat shields

G.

Replace: High voltage battery 
A/C filter

H.

Replace: Engine air filter

I.

Inspect: Accessory drive belt
Replace: Spark plugs, fuel 
filter, engine and motor/
electronics coolant

J.

Inspect: PCV valve, replace 
if necessary
Replace: Engine and motor/
electronics coolant, accessory 
drive belt, rear axle lubricant 
(4WD only)
