• Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steer-

ing pump may make noise for a short amount of time.

This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering

system. This noise should be considered normal, and it

does not in any way damage the steering system.

CAUTION!

Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of

the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid

temperature and it should be avoided when possible.

Damage to the power steering pump may occur.

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY — IF EQUIPPED

This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting

off four of the engine’s eight cylinders during light load

and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no

driver inputs or additional driving skills required.

NOTE:

This system may take some time to return to full

functionality after a battery disconnect.

PARKING BRAKE

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking

brake is fully applied and place the shift lever in the

PARK position.
The foot operated parking brake is located below the

lower left corner of the instrument panel. To apply the

park brake, firmly push the park brake pedal fully. To

release the parking brake, press the park brake pedal a

second time and let your foot up as you feel the brake

disengage.
