Do not tow a trailer for first

500 miles

Do not use special break-in oils

Tip: Follow the same procedures with newly overhauled engine or when brakes are replaced

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

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 P235/70R16 tires) and on both axles if 4WD

Install as tightly as possible and retighten periodically

Never exceed 30 mph with tire chains

4WD system that is always active and requires no driver input,

Tribute’s intelligent 4WD system monitors vehicle conditions and will automatically adjust power distribution between front and rear wheels, the 4WD system is capable of highway, off-road and winter road conditions

During some extreme off-road events the 4WD system may go into heat protection mode (locked mode), this will help protect the system, to exit heat protection mode, stop vehicle and let it cool down with engine running
