10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool

● Park your vehicle in a covered parking

area or in the shade whenever possible.

● When entering a hot vehicle, opening the

windows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system.

● Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled main-

tenance.

● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-

sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.

● Keep the front wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

● For vehicles equipped with

, use 4H

or 4L position only when necessary. Four-
wheel drive operation lowers fuel economy.

● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

For additional information, refer to “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations” in “Tech-
nical and consumer information” section of
this manual.

WARNING

For 4WD equipped vehicles, do not at-

tempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.

Do not attempt to test a 4WD equipped

vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer
(such as the dynamometers used by
some states for emissions testing), or
similar equipment even if the other two
wheels are raised off the ground. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with 4WD
before it is placed on a dynamometer.
Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or per-
sonal injury.
