The engine block heater cord is routed under
the hood on the passenger side of the vehicle
near the right head lamp assembly. It is
located between the front grill and the radi
-
ator, but underneath the black upper seal.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). A
fter the initial 60 miles
(100 km), s
peeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or
90 km/h) ar
e desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle accelera-
tion within the limits of local traffic laws
c
ontribute
s to a good break-in. Wide-open
throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri
-
mental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
f
actory is
a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consis
-
tent with anticipated climate conditions
under whic
h vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality
grades, re
fer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first
few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a
normal part of the break-in and not inter
-
preted as a problem.
PARKING BRAKE
Electric Park Brake (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric
Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater
convenience. The park brake switch is
located on the instrument panel to the left of
the steering wheel (below the headlamp
switch).
Parking Brake Switch
To apply the park brake manually, pull up on
the switch
momentarily. The BRAKE telltale
light in the instrument cluster and an indi
-
cator on the switch will illuminate.
To release the park brake manually, the igni-
tion must be in ON/RUN. Then put your foot
on the bra
ke pedal and push the park brake
switch down momentarily. Once the park
brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE telltale
light and the switch indicator will extinguish.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
