NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL

In order to keep to the federal exterior
noise regulations, your vehicle may be
equipped with noise emission items.
Depending on your vehicle configuration,
it may have all or some of the following
items:

Air Intake System

Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its
location. Do not alter inlet and outlet
piping.

Body

Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab
shields and under hood insulation for
deterioration, dislocation and orientation.

Cooling System

•

Inspect the fan for blade damage. If
you find any damage, replace with the
recommended parts. Inspect for
fan-to-shroud interference and any
damage to shroud, such as cracks and
holes.

•

Do not change fan ratio or alter fan
spacer dimensions and positions.

•

Inspect fan clutch for proper operation.
Make sure the fan is disengaged when
cooling of the engine is not required.

•

Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped)
for proper operation. The shutters
should be open during normal
operating temperatures.

Engine

Valve covers and block covers damp-out
engine mechanical noise. If they need
replacing, make sure to replace them with
the recommended parts. Check for
mechanical isolations.

Transmission Enclosure

Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean
any deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.

Exhaust System

•

Inspect for leaks at various joint
connections and loose clamps.

•

Perform a visual inspection for cracks
or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.

•

Always use the recommended
replacement parts.

•

Do not change the tail pipe elbow or
offset tail pipe orientation from the
standard position as originally received.

•

To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle
sound levels, it is necessary for the
owner to perform inspections and
necessary maintenance at specified
intervals. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 320).

GENERAL INFORMATION

See the following sections for directions
on how to properly use safety restraints
for children.

WARNINGS

Always make sure your child is
secured properly in a device that is
appropriate for their height, age and

weight. Child safety restraints must be
bought separately from your vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions and
guidelines may result in an increased risk
of serious injury or death to your child.

All children are shaped differently.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and other safety

organizations, base their recommendations
for child restraints on probable child height,
age and weight thresholds, or on the
minimum requirements of the law. We
recommend that you check with a NHTSA
Certified Child Passenger Safety

WARNINGS

Technician (CPST) to make sure that you
properly install the child restraint in your
vehicle and that you consult your
pediatrician to make sure you have a child
restraint appropriate for your child. To
locate a child restraint fitting station and
CPST, contact NHTSA toll free at
1-888-327-4236 or go to
www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada, contact
Transport Canada toll free at
1-800-333-0371 or go to www.tc.gc.ca to
find a Child Car Seat Clinic in your area.
Failure to properly restrain children in child
restraints made especially for their height,
age and weight, may result in an increased
risk of serious injury or death to your child.

On hot days, the temperature inside
the vehicle can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to

these high temperatures for even a short
time can cause death or serious heat
related injuries, including brain damage.
Small children are particularly at risk.
