Horn Press on the center area of the steering wheel to sound the horn. Tilt Wheel A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can also raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle. The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is located on the left side of the steering column.


To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever toward you. Then move the steering wheel to a comfortable position and release the lever to lock the wheel in place.


Turn SignaVMultifunction Lever


The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following:


Turn and Lane-Change Signals Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer Flash-to-Pass


0 Windshield Wipers Windshield Washer Cruise Control


For information on the exterior lamps, see Exterior Lamps on page 3-12.


3-5


Turn and Lane-Change Signals The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you to signal a turn or a lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will return


automatically. Q An arrow on the instrument


panel cluster will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change.


If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display (HUD), an arrow will also appear in the display area to indicate the direction of the turn or lane change. See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-19 for more information. You may also have an arrow in the outside mirror that flashes when the turn signal is used. See Outside Power Mirrors on page 2-47 for more information.


3-6


To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself when you release it. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash at twice the normal rate, this may indicate that a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse and check for burned-out bulbs. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-95. If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they are working. You do not need to add a different flasher. Turn Signal On Chime If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever to the off position.


Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high to low, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then release it.


When the high beams are on, a light on the instrument panel cluster will also be on. If your vehicle is equipped with HUD, this light will also appear in the display area.


This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps are off. To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, but not so far that you hear a click. If your headlamps are off or on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn on. They’ll stay on as long as you hold the lever toward you and the high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster will come on. Release the lever to turn the high-beam headlamps off.


Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by turning the band marked WIPER. For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. Use the delay position to set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO, the shorter the delay between wipes. For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO position. For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF. Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper h!2des hefnre c!sincJ them. !? they’re frn7en to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.


3-7


RainsenseTM II Wipers If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is mounted on the interior of the windshield below the rearview mirror and is used to automatically operate the wipers. This system operates by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending on the driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently The system will operate in the delay, low speed and high speed modes. If the system is left on for long periods of time, occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the RainsenseTM system is active. The RainsenseTM system is activated by turning the wiper control band to one of the five sensitivity levels within the delay area. The delay position closest to OFF/MIST is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. You can increase the sensitivity of the system and the frequency of wipes by


turning the wiper control band away from you to the higher sensitivity levels. The highest sensitivity setting, level five, is closest to the LO position. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the wiper control band to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has been increased. The windshield wipers also remain in a “high park” position (the wipers are stopped on the windshield and are not in the normal park position), even when the ignition is turned off. Notice: Turn the windshield wiper band on the multifunction lever to off to avoid wiper damage when going through an automatic car wash. The MIST and wash cycles operate as normal and are not affected by the moisture-sensing function. The system can be overridden at any time by manually turning the wiper band to LO or HI speed. Notice: Do not place stickers or other items on the exterior glass surface directly in front of the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the moisture sensor to malfunction.


3-8


Windshield Washer At the top of the multifunction lever there is a paddle with the word PUSH on it. For “programmed” operation, press and release the paddle. The washer will provide a measured amount of fluid to the windshield and the wiper will either stop or return to your original wiping speed. For “demand” operation, press and hold the paddle for at least two seconds. Release the paddle when you have enough fluid and the wipers will either S’-T or return to your original wiping speed.


Cruise Control With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shut-

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on. Setting Cruise Control


1. Move the cruise control


switch to ON.


If Y-J leave your c, u,se control on when you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you don’t want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control.

Resuming a Set Speed Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then applying the brake will end the cruise control function. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) briefly to reset. This returns you to your desired preset speed. Remember, if you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will accelerate until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed:


Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed. Push the SET button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed. Move rne cruise swiich irorn Gii io RiA. nuid ii there until you reach a desired speed and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, briefly move the switch to R/A then release it.


Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. The accelerate feature will only work after you have set the cruise control speed by pushing the SET button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:


Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until you reach a desired lower speed, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go about 1 mph (1 6 km/h) slower.


Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.


3-1 1


Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on steep hills. Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:


Step lightly on the brake pedal, or move the cruise switch to OFF. The CRUISE light will also go out.


Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Exterior Lamps


This control, located to the left of the steering column, operates the following systems:


Headlamps Taillamps Parking Lamps License Lamps Sidemarker Lamps Instrument Panel Lights Interior Courtesy Lamps


OFF: Pushing the exterior lamps control all the way in turns off all lamps and lights.


Parking Lamps: Pulling to the first position turns on the parking lamps, license plate lamps, the sidemarker lamps and the instrument panel lights.


the exterior lamps control out


Headlamps: Pulling the exterior lamps control out to the second position turns on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. For information on the interior lights, see lnterior Lamps on page 3- 15.


Headlamps On Reminder If you leave the exterior lamp control on, remove the key from the ignition and open the driver’s door, you will hear a continuous warning chime. The chime will turn off when the lamps are turned off. Daytime Running Lamps Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and Twilight Sentinel@, so be sure it isn’t covered. The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness in daylight when the followina conditions are met:


The ignition is on, the exterior lamps control is off, and the transaxle is not in PARK (P).


3-1 3


When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either. When it’s dark enough outside, your high-beam headlamps will change to low-beam headlamps at full brightness. The other lamps that turn on with your headlamps will also turn on. When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will turn off, and your high-beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of DRL. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, shift the transaxle into PARK (P). The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). To turn off all exterior lighting at night when you are parked, turn off the exterior lamp control and slide the Twilight Sentinel@ control all the way to the left. When released, the control will return to the Twilight Sentinel@ minimum delay position and the lights will turn off. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it.


Cornering Lamps The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering. Twilight Sentinel@


Twilight Sentinel@ turns your headlamps on and off by sensing how dark it is outside.


To operate this feature, slide the control to any position to vary the lamp timeout.


3-1 4


You can set the delay time from only a few seconds to three minutes. If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps will remain on for three minutes after you turn off your engine. If you move the control almost all the way in the other direction, so it’s just on, the lamps will go off quickly when you turn off your engine. Sliding the control to OFF, turns off the Twilight Sentinel@ feature. Light Sensor Your Twilight Sentinel@ and DRL work with the light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Don’t cover it up. If you do, it will sense “dark” and the headlamps will come on.


Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness Instrument panel light brightness can be adjusted by turning the exterior lamps control counterclockwise and clockwise. Courtesy Lamps When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise all the way past the normal stop. Entry Lighting When you open either front door or press the button with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the lamps inside your vehicle will turn on. These lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds. These lamps will also turn off if you start the engine or acrivare ine power aoor iocks.


3-1 5


Delayed Entry Lighting When you open the door, the interior lamps will come on. When you close the door with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on for 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned to an on position. Locking the doors with the power door lock switch will override the delayed entry lighting feature and the lamps will turn off right away. Using the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the door will not cancel delayed lighting. Theater Dimming This feature allows for a three to five-second fade out of the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off. Delayed Exit Lighting With this feature, the interior lamps will come on for 25 seconds after you remove the key from the ignition. This will give you time to find the door handle or lock switches.


Parade Dimming This feature prohibits the dimming of your instrument panel displays during daylight while your headlamps are on. This feature operates with the light sensor for the Twilight Sentinel@ and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside, you will be able to dim your instrument panel displays once again. Perimeter Lighting When the button with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the DRL, parking lamps and back-up lamps will come on if it is dark enough outside. This feature will only be activated when the security feedback feature is programmed to be in Modes 1, 3 or 5 on the transmitter. Modes 0, 2 and 4 do not respond with exterior lights flashing when unlocking the vehicle so perimeter lighting will not be active. This feature can be programmed on or off for each transmitter.

If the HL, your field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it’s dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view.


igh in


If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display (HUD), you can see some of the driver information that appears on your instrument panel cluster. The information may be displayed in English or metric units and appears as a reflection in the windshield. The HUD consists of the following information:


Speedometer Reading


- I urrl Siyrlai irlliic;aiurs


- - . -


High-Beam Headlamp Indicator CHECK GAGES Message


3-1 9


The HUD controls are located in the overhead console.


The HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the instrument panel cluster. Be sure to continue scanning your displays, controls and driving environment just as you would in a vehicle without HUD. If you never look at your instrument panel, you may not see something important, such as a warning light. Notice: Although the HUD image appears to be near the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If you try to use it as such, you may misjudge the distance and damage your vehicle.


3-20


1. Start your engine and slide the HUD dimmer switch


all the way up. The brightness of the HUD image is determined by whether the headlamps are on or off, and where you have the HUD dimmer switch set.


2. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position. Keep pressing the top arrow on the image height adjuster to raise the image as far as possible. 3. Keep pressing the bottom arrow on the image height adjuster to move the image as low as possible, while still keeping it in full view.


4. Slide the dimmer switch downward until the HUD


image is no brighter than necessary.


To turn the HUD display off, slide the dimmer switch all the way down.


If the sun comes out, the sky becomes cloudy, or if you turn your headlamps on, you may need to adjust the HUD brightness using the dimmer switch. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see. To change the display from English to metric units, push the ENG/MET button located to the left of the steering column. Care of the HUD Clean the inside of the windshield as necessary to remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. To clean the HUD lens, spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Gently wipe and dry the HUD lens. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens to avoid cleaner leaking inside the unit.


If You Can’t See the HUD Image When the Ignition is On If the ignition is on and you can’t see the HUD image, check to see if:


The headlamps are on. Something is covering the HUD unit. The HUD dimmer control is adjusted properly. The HUD image is adjusted to the proper height. A fuse is blown. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-95.


Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever have to have your windshield replaced, be sure to get one that is designed for HUD or your HUD image may look blurred or out of focus.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) If your vehicle has this feature, ultrasonic rear parking assist can help you to determine how close an object is to your rear bumper within a given area, making parking easier. The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, above the rear window. It has three color-coded lights that can be seen through the rearview m


)r.


If children, someone on a b Icle, or pets are behind your vehicle, URPA won’t tell you they are there. You could strike them and they could be injured or killed. Whether or not you are using URPA, check carefully behind your vehicle and then watch closely whenever you back up.


How the System Works Ultrasonic rear parking assist comes on automatically when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). When the system comes on, the three lights on the display will illuminate to let you know that the system is working. URPA senses how close your vehicle is to an object. The distance is determined by the four rear sensors located on the bumper. When shifting into REVERSE (R) and an object is detected, one of the following will occur:


At 5 ft. (1.5 m) an amber light will come on.


D At 40 in. (1 .O m) two amber lights will come on.


At 20 in. (0.5 m) two amber lights and a red light will come on and a continuous chime will sound. At 1 ft. (0.3 m) the chime will still be going continuously and all three lights will flash.


A chime will sound the first time an object is detected, if the object is between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet (1.5 m) away. URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider, and at least 10 inches (2.5 cm) tall, but cannot detect objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within operating range.


3-22


If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem. The light will also flash red when you are driving if a trailer is attached to your vehicle, or if you have a bicycle or an object hanging out of your trunk. The light will continue to flash until the trailer or the object is removed and your vehicle is driven forward at at least 15 mph (25 km/h). It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. For cleaning instructions, see Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-89. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or the system may not work properly. If after cleaning the rear bumper and then driving at at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to flash red, see your dealer. It may also flash red if your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). Other conditions that may affect system performance include things like, the vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of airbrakes on a very large truck. As always, drivers should use care when backing up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.


Accessory Power Outlets The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio. Your vehicle has two power outlets located in the rear storage area of the front center console. See Center Console Storage Area on page 2-57 for more information on location. Your vehicle may have a small cap that must be pulled down to access the accessory power outlet. If it does, when not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. The accessory power outlets will only operate while the ignition key is in RUN and for 10 minutes after turning the ignition off. If you would like to operate an accessory for an extended period of time, contact your dealer for more information. Notice: When using an accessory power outlet, maximum electrical load must not exceed 15 amps. Always turn off any electrical equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain your battery.


3-23


Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible to the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see your dealer for additional information on accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding some electrical equipment to your vehicle can damage it or keep other things from working as they should. This wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment, and never use anything that exceeds the amperage rating. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Climate Controls


Dual Automatic Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.


Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): Press the AUTO button for automatic control of the inside temperature, the air delivery mode and the fan speed. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to 75" F (24" C).


Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. If you set the system at the warmest temperature setting, the system will remain in manual mode at that temperature and it will not go into automatic mode. In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle until warmer air is available. The system will start out blowing air at the floor but may change modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed for warm up will depend on the outside temperature and the length of time that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven.


3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from


10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary. -..- ^.^I. ---*I

Manual Operation Pressing the FAN or AIR FLOW buttons cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press the AUTO button to return to automatic operation.


TEMP (Temperature): To manually adjust the temperature inside the vehicle, push the TEMP arrow. Push the TEMP up arrow for warmer temperature settings and the TEMP down arrow for cooler temperature settings. The setting will be shown on the display. The display will return to the outside temperature after a few seconds. @ FAN: Pressing the FAN button will display and hold the current fan speed while in manual mode. If you want the fan to run at a lower speed, push the down arrow on the FAN button. If you want to increase the fan speed, push the up arrow on the FAN button. The fan indicators will also be shown on the display. If the airflow seems low when the fan is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-3 1.


AIR FLOW: Pressing the AIR FLOW button will display and hold the current setting while in manual mode. Use the up and down arrows on the AIR FLOW button to cycle through the available modes.


WINDSHIELD-FLOOR: This mode directs most of the airflow to the windshield with some airflow to the outboard outlets (for the side windows) and the floor outlets.


MID: This mode directs airflow through the instrument panel outlets.


FLOOR-MID: This mode directs airflow through both the floor and the instrument panel outlets. There is also a small amount of air directed to the windshield and the outboard outlets (for the side windows).


FLOOR: This mode directs most of the airflow to the floor outlets with some directed to the outboard outlets (for the side windows) and the windshield.


OFF: Press the OFF button once to turn off the passenger climate control, if it has been activated. Pressing the OFF button a second time will turn off the main system. The outside temperature will be shown on the display when the system is off.


3-26


VENT: Pressing the VENT button allows outside air to flow through your vehicle without the air conditioning compressor working. To turn off the VENT selection, push the VENT button again. Selecting the VENT and AUTO buttons at the same time allows the system to control the airflow automatically without using the air conditioning compressor or the recirculation mode.


RECIRC (Recirculation): Press this button to limit the amount of outside air coming into the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on or off. When the button is pressed, an indicator light will come on. The recirculation mode cannot be used with the FRONT defrost or VENT mode. On hot days, open the windows to let hot air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficientlv. For quick cool down on hot days, press the AUTO button and the system will automatically enter recirculation mode and the temperature will be at the full cold position for maximum cooling.


Using these settings together for long periods of time may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. Sensors The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar radiation and the air inside of your vehicle, then uses the information to maintain the selected temperature by initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield, or the system will not work properly.


3-27


Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly.


9 FRONT: Press the FRONT button to defrost the


windshield by directing airflow toward the windshield and outboard outlets (for the side windows). To turn off FRONT, press the AUTO or AIR FLOW buttons. If the AIR FLOW up button is pressed while in the FRONT defrost mode, the system will direct the air toward the instrument panel outlets. If the AIR FLOW down button is pressed while in the FRONT defrost mode, the system will direct the air toward the floor, and the FRONT defrost mode will cancel. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.


Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window.


REAR: Press this button to turn the rear window


defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. At speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h), the defogger will operate continuously until you press the REAR button again. After 10 minutes of driving below 30 mph (48 km/h), the defogger will turn off automatically. If you need additional warming time, push the button again. The system will then operate for five minutes before going off by itself. If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors, the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defogger button is pressed. Notice: Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the defogger and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid.

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on briefly when you start the engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens.


Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help. Your vehicle may also have a DIC that works along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-48.

Speedometer and Odometer


Tachometer


The tachometer tells you how fast the engine is running. It displays engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).


Notice: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area, or engine damage may occur.


Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If possible, the new one has to be set to the same reading the old one had. If it can't be, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on the driver's door to show the old mileage reading and when the new odometer was installed. Trip Odometer A trip odometer can tell how far you've driven since you last set it back to zero. To reset it, push the RESET button. The trip odometer is reset through the Driver information Center (DIC) if your vehicle is equipped with this feature.

Notice: If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while, your emission controls may not work as well, your fuel economy may not be as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that may not be covered by your warranty. Notice: Modifications made to the engine, transaxle, exhaust, intake or fuel system of your vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect your vehicle’s emission controls and may cause this light to come on. Modifications to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty. This may also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test.


Malfunction Indicator Lamp Service Engine Soon Light -1


SERVICE ENGINE SOON


Your vehicle is equipped with a computer which monitors operation of the fuel, ignition and emission control systems.


This system is called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics- Second Generation) and is intended to assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. The SERVICE ENGINE SOON light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.


3-42


This light should come on, as a check to show you it is working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not running. If the light doesn’t come on, have it repaired. This light will also come on during a malfunction in one of two ways:


Light Flashing - A misfire condition has been detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and may damage the emission control system on your vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and service may be required. Light On Steady - An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and service may be required. If the Light Is Flashing The following may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle:

If the light stops flashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady’’ following. If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still flashing, follow the previous steps, and drive the vehicle to your dealer or qualified service center for service. If the Light Is On Steady You may be able to correct the emission system malfunction by considering the following: Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle? If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install the cap. See Filling Your Tank on page 5-7. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed si-luuid iui1-1 LI le IIYI I L U I I . -u

Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition will usually be corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. Poor fuel quality will cause your engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You may notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration or stumbling on acceleration. (These conditions may go away once the engine is warmed up.) This will be detected by the system and cause the light to turn on. If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. If none of the above steps have made the light turn off, have your dealer or qualified service center check the vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that may have developed.


Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or may begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know in order to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light is on or not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced your battery or if your battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, see your dealer or qualified service center to prepare the vehicle for inspection.

SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM - 54: If you ever see the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message, it means there may be a problem with your stability enhancement system. If you see this message, try to reset the system (stop; turn off the engine; then start the engine again). If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message still comes on, it means there is a problem. You should see your dealer for service. Reduce your speed and drive accordingly. STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE - 55: You may see the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced, computer-controlled system has come on to help your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re steering. This stability enhancement system activates when the computer senses that your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal.

When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is on, you should continue to steer in the direction you want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult driving situations by making the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on, you’ll know that something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so you should consider slowing down. Tire Pressure Status - 140: If you see the TIRE PRESSURE LOW message, you should stop as soon as you can and check all your tires for damage. (If a tire is flat, see I f a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-74.) Also check the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can. See Inflation -- Tire Pressure on page 5-66 and Check Tire Pressure System on page 5-67. There are times when you will have to reset (calibrate) the Check Tire Pressure System. See Check Tire Pressure System on page 5-67.
