Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a new odometer installed. The new one may read the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.

Trip Odometer The trip odometer can record the number of miles or kilometers traveled for up to two trips.

The trip odometer button is located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel.

The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B. In order to change from one mode to the other, press the A/B portion of the TRIP button. By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell how many miles have been recorded on either Trip A or Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero. Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear to reset each trip mode. If your vehicle is first sold in the United States, the trip odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles (1 609 km). If your vehicle is first sold in Canada, the trip odometer will return to zero after 1 999.9 km (1,242 miles). The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets the trip mode (A or B) that is being displayed. Each trip mode must be reset individually.

2-82

English/Metric Button

Display Mode On vehicles equipped with the analog cluster, this button is located between the trip odometer and ENG/MET button to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Press DSPL MODE to turn the backlighting and the digital speed image on and off. On vehicles equipped with the digital cluster, press DSPL MODE to turn the digital displays other than the speedometer and gear display on and off.

By pressing this button located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel, you can go back and forth from English (miles) to metric (kilometers).

Other readings such as temperature, fuel and trip odometer also go back and forth between English and metric.

2-83

Vehicle Speed Limiter This feature prevents your vehicle from exceeding speeds that the tires are not rated for. When this happens, the engine’s fuel supply is shut off. When the vehicle speed slows, the fuel supply will come on again. Tachometer (Analog Cluster Only)

This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).

NOTICE:

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded area or engine damage may occur.

Engine Speed Limiter This feature prevents the engine from operating at too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine’s rpm are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine is shut off. When the engine speed slows, the fuel supply will come on again. This helps prevent damage to the engine.

2-84

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 also has a Driver Information Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights and gages. See “Driver Information Center (DIC)” in the Index for more information.

2-85

Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will come on for about eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts.

The safety belt light will also come on and stay on for about 70 seconds. If the driver’s belt is already buckled, the light will come on briefly, but the chime will not sound.

Air Bag Readiness Light There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows AIR BAG or the air bag symbol. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag” in the Index.

United States

Canada

This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will flash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready.

2-86

Charging System Light

When you turn the key to ON or START, this light will come on briefly to show that the generator and battery charging systems are working properly.

If this light stays on, you need service and you should take your vehicle to the dealer at once. To save your battery until you get there, turn off all accessories.

If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.

CAUTION:

If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the air bag system may not be working properly. The air bags in your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the air bag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle.

The air bag readiness light should flash for a few seconds when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.

2-87

Brake System Warning and Parking Brake Indicator Light Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.

If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.

CAUTION:

This light should come on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for service.

2-88

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light With the anti-lock brake system, the light(s) will come on when your engine is started and may stay on for several seconds. That’s normal.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this section. The anti-lock brake system warning light should come on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.

Traction Control System Warning Light

United States

Canada (Analog Only)

This warning light should come on briefly when the engine is started. If the warning light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there may be a problem with your traction control system and your vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

2-89

The traction control system warning light may come on for the following reasons: D If there’s a brake system problem that is specifically related to traction control, the traction control system will turn off and the warning light will come on.

D If the traction control system is affected by an

engine-related problem, the system will turn off and the warning light will come on.

If the traction control system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light

This light tells you that your engine has overheated. As a check, the light should come on for a few seconds when you start your engine.

If this light comes on and stays on, you should stop your vehicle and turn the engine off as soon as possible. A warning chime should also sound if this light comes on. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.

2-90

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, the engine is too hot.

Digital Cluster

That reading means the same thing as the warning light -- the engine coolant has overheated. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.

2-91

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Service Engine Soon Light in the United States or Check Engine Light in Canada)

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 or CHECK ENGINE 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.

United States

Canada (Analog Only)

NOTICE:

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

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.

2-92

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 the SERVICE ENGINE SOON or CHECK ENGINE 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.

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: D 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.

D 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.

2-93

If the Light Is Flashing The following may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle: D Reducing vehicle speed. D Avoiding hard accelerations. D Avoiding steep uphill grades. D If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of

cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.

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” in the Index. 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 should turn the light off. 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. Are you low on fuel? As your engine starts to run out of fuel, your engine may not run as efficiently as designed since small amounts of air are sucked into the fuel line causing a misfire. The system can detect this. Adding fuel should correct this condition. Make sure to install the fuel cap properly. See “Filling Your Tank” in the Index. It will take a few driving trips to turn the light off.

2-94

Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index. 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 or CHECK ENGINE 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.

2-95

Oil Pressure Light

CAUTION:

Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches fire. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced.

NOTICE:

Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not covered by your warranty.

This light tells you if there could be a problem with your engine oil pressure.

The light goes on when you turn your key to ON or START. It goes off once you start your engine. That’s a check to be sure the light works. If it doesn’t come on, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if something goes wrong. When the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil isn’t flowing through your engine properly. You could be low on oil and you might have some other system problem.

2-96

Security Light

2-97

Fuel Gage

Analog (United States)

Analog (Canada)

The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the tank. It works only when the ignition is in ON. If the fuel supply gets down to approximately three U.S. gallons (11.4 L) of fuel remaining in the tank, the FUEL LEVEL LOW message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a single chime will sound. On the digital cluster, if the fuel is less than approximately 1.2 U.S. gallons (4.7 L) the E segment on the gage will flash. The fuel range on the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display “LO.” Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage: D At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the

gage reads full.

D GAL FUEL USED on the DIC does not correspond exactly to the amount of fuel remaining as shown on the fuel gage.

D The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly or

accelerate quickly.

Digital

2-98

Fuel Data Display (Digital Cluster)

The fuel data display tells you all you about the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the fuel remaining.

The average fuel economy (AVG) display shows the average miles per U.S. gallon. To reset the average fuel economy, press the INFO button until the MPG AVG is displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the INFO RESET button until both the fuel data display and DIC display reads 0.0.

The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The computer does not know what driving conditions will be like for the rest of your trip, so the range is estimated based on the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range reading may change as your driving habits change. Going from city to highway driving may increase the range reading. The FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a chime will sound when there is approximately 3 U.S. gallons (11.4 L) of fuel remaining. If the range display in the DIC shows LO, you should stop for fuel as soon as possible. This means that you have less than approximately 1.2 U.S. gallons (4.7 L) of fuel remaining. On the analog cluster, fuel data can be obtained by pressing the INFO button. See “Driver Information Center (DIC)” in the Index.

2-99

Driver Information Center (DIC) This display gives you the status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display driver personalization features and warning/status messages. All messages will appear in the DIC display, located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster. DIC Controls and Displays

ENG/MET (English/Metric): Press this button to display information in the English (miles) or metric (kilometers) system.

2-102

Driver Information Center (DIC) Messages These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first sold in Canada will have a number after each message. This number helps to identify the problem. You must then press INFO or INFO RESET to clear the display screen for further use. However, be sure to take any message that appears on the display screen seriously and remember that pressing the INFO or INFO RESET button will only make the message disappear, not the problem. DIC messages can also be displayed in French, German, Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to have the language display adjusted for your vehicle. BATTERY NOT CHARGING - 7: This message will appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the electrical system checked by your dealership at your earliest convenience. BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE - 27: This message is displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The battery saver system will start reducing certain features of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At the point that features are disabled, this message is displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save the charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary accessories to allow the battery to recharge.

BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH - 8: This message shows that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the electrical system checked by your dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine is running. BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears immediately after starting, it is possible that the generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should recharge while driving but may take a few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger (be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions) to boost the battery after returning home or to a final destination. If this message appears while driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately to determine the cause of this problem. To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning off the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.

2-103

CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter Recommendations” in the Index. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator, How to Reset” in the Index. CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See “Maintenance Schedule” in the Index for the proper fluid and change intervals. CHECK BRAKE FLUID - 37: This message will display if the ignition is in ON to inform the driver that the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index. CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 2: This message will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have the cooling system serviced by a technician as soon as possible.

CHECK FUEL GAGE - 50: (Analog Cluster Only) This message will appear when the fuel supply is less than 5 gallons (18.9 L) and the display is turned off. A single chime will also sound when this message is displayed. CHECK GAS CAP - 61: This message will appear if the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should recheck your gas cap to ensure that it’s on properly. CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message may appear if the vehicle is parked on a grade. The oil level sensing system does not check for actual oil level if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and the oil level is never checked while the engine is running. If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for a few minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine Oil” in the Index.

2-104

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE - 144 :This message is displayed when the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system detects a low or high tire pressure condition in one or more of the road tires. By pressing the INFO button up or down, the DIC display will show which tire or tires do not have the correct inflation pressure. A“LOW TIRE” condition exists when the tire’s air pressure is under 25 psi (172 kPa) and a “HIGH TIRE” condition exists when the tire’s air pressure is above 38 psi (262 kPa). The system will display the air pressure, the tire location (LF, RF, RR or LR) and if the air pressure is low or high. The tire pressure information is available in English or metric measurements. For example, a driver’s side front tire that is low may be shown as: 22 PSI LF TIRE LOW. The correct tire inflation pressure should be set to those shown on the Tire Loading-Information Label, located on the rear edge of the driver’s door. For more information regarding proper tire inflation, see“Inflation -- Tire Pressure” in the Index. If a tire is low, you should stop as soon as possible and inspect your tire(s) for damage. If a tire is flat, see “If a Tire Goes Flat” in the Index.

Once the TPM system detects the low or high tire pressure condition, the message “CHECK TIRE PRESSURE” will be displayed whenever you start the engine. To remove or clear the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message, you will need to set the tire(s) to the proper tire pressure. See “Inflation -- Tire Pressure” in the Index.

CAUTION:

When the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message is displayed on the Driver Information Center and the tire pressure is low, your vehicle handling capabilities will be reduced during severe maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose control of your vehicle. You or others could be injured. Don’t drive over 55 mph (90 km/h) when the tire pressure is low. Drive cautiously and correct the tire pressure as soon as you can.

2-105

CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message means that your vehicle is low on windshield washer fluid. DRIVER DOOR AJAR - 140: This message will display anytime the key is in ON, the transaxle is not in PARK (P) and the driver’s door is open or ajar. A chime will sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater than 3 mph (4.8 km/h). DRIVER NO. X (1 OR 2): This message will be displayed with the key in ON and while entering FEATURE PROGRAMMING, but only if the vehicle is equipped with memory seats. The message will show which driver is activating the personalization feature. It will only stay on for five seconds. This message can be customized for you by your dealer. ENGINE COOLANT HOT, IDLE ENGINE - 44: This message will appear when the engine coolant temperature is over 262_F (128_C).

In addition, the system includes intersection and freeway entrances, route planning, a programmable address book, points of interest, a list of restaurants, emergency phone numbers, and a list of hotels and motels for all of the major cities on the CD. The navigation system can also communicate with the radio data system to receive broadcast announcements on traffic, weather information and emergency alert communications. For more information on how to use this system, see “Navigation” supplement.

2-129

Night Vision System (Option) The Night Vision System can help you see better when you drive at night. The system works by sensing heat given off by objects in its field of view. Warmer objects, such as pedestrians, animals and other moving vehicles, will appear whiter. Colder objects, such as the sky, signs and parked vehicles, will appear darker.

Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally glancing at the image as you would a rearview mirror. Do not stare at the image. The Night Vision System can be operated if: D The instrument panel brightness knob is in any

position except OFF

D it is dark enough outside, D the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on and D the ignition is turned to ON.

2-130

When the system comes on, you’ll see the Night Vision System symbol in the image. After about one minute, you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don’t see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it may take longer for the image to display), there may be something wrong with the system. See your dealer for service.

CAUTION:

If the Night Vision System image is too bright, or too high in 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 image dim and placed low in your field of view.

Remember that the Night Vision System can only help you see objects that are warmer or colder than the surroundings. It can’t sense things like brake lights, turn signals or emergency flashers, traffic lights or signs.

2-131

The controls for this feature are located to the left of and below the steering wheel. They are used to adjust the brightness and location of the image. Adjust the IMAGE control so the image is as low as possible while remaining visible. Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.

In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians, animals and the direction of the road ahead. In light rain, light snow or light fog the image may not be as clear and you may not be able to see the direction of the road ahead. In more severe weather conditions, the image may be unclear and not usable.

The HUD system is located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel, next to the windshield and the camera is located behind the center of the front grille. Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the HUD or camera lens. Wipe gently and dry thoroughly.

CAUTION:

NOTICE:

Don’t use the Night Vision System to replace your normal view of the road ahead. It can’t tell you how far away things are. It senses only warmer or colder objects, not all objects. Driving by staring at the image might cause you not to see important objects in the road ahead. If you don’t see something in time, you could have a crash in which you and others could be injured. Use the Night Vision System only as a driving aid.

When cleaning, be careful not to scratch the HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the HUD lens because the cleaner could leak inside the unit and cause damage.

The camera must also be aligned to work correctly. If the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do not attempt to adjust the camera yourself.

It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD (Head-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens and the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything clean, system performance may be affected.

2-132

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) (Option) 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 mirror or by turning around.

How the System Works URPA 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 ultrasonic sensors located on the rear bumper. When you shift into REVERSE (R) and an object is detected, the following will occur in sequence depending on the distance from the object: D At 5 feet (1.5 m) a chime will sound and one amber

light will be lit;

D at 40 inches (1.0 m) both amber lights will be lit; D at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound

and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and D at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and

all three lights (amber/amber/red) will flash.

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 air brakes 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.

URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider, and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within operating range. 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 while driving if a trailer is attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on the back of, or 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 least 15 mph (25 km/h). It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or materials such as paint or the system may not work properly. If after cleaning the rear bumper and driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to flash red, see your dealer. For cleaning instructions, see “Cleaning, Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Comfort Controls This section tells you how to make your air system work for you. Climate Control Panel

Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic climate control system. This system can automatically adjust and control temperature, fan speed, air delivery mode, air conditioning operation and air intake. You can use the AUTO (automatic) setting or override the automatic operation by manually adjusting the controls. If your vehicle is equipped with the climate control personalization feature, you will be able to recall your preferred climate control settings using your remote keyless entry transmitter. See “Climate Control Personalization” in the Index.

Manual Operation To turn the system on, press the knob located on the left side of the climate control panel. ∧ MODE ∨ : Press MODE to deliver air through the floor, instrument panel or windshield outlets. The system will stay in the selected mode until MODE is pressed again. The current mode is displayed on the climate control panel when MODE is pressed. Press the up or down arrow to cycle through the following modes:

(Upper): This setting directs the airflow

through the instrument panel outlets.

(Bi-Level): This setting directs airflow into your vehicle in two ways. Cooler air is directed to the upper portion of your body through the four instrument panel outlets while warmer air is directed to the floor.

(Floor/Defrost): This setting directs airflow to

the floor outlets and toward the windshield.

(Floor): This setting directs airflow through

the floor outlets. Some air is diverted to the windshield to minimize fogging.

∧ ∨ up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease it.

(Fan): This switch adjusts the fan speed. Press the

(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors entering your vehicle. Press this button again to turn off the recirculation feature. If you notice the windows fogging, turn off the recirculation feature. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.

FRONT (Defrost): Press this button to quickly remove fog or frost from the windshield. This setting sends most of the airflow to the windshield with only a small amount to the floor outlets. The air conditioning compressor will operate in this mode. A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. A/C cannot be turned off in defrost mode.

PASS OFF (Passenger’s Climate Control): Pressing this button will turn off or on the climate controls for the passengers. When this feature is active, the driver’s climate control settings are used for both the front and rear seating areas. Driver’s Temperature Knob: The knob located on the left side of the climate control panel is used to adjust the air temperature coming through the system for the driver’s side of the vehicle while the passenger’s side controls are active. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the temperature displayed on the climate control panel, or turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. Press the knob to turn the climate control system off. ∧ PASS TEMP ∨ (Passenger’s Temperature): This switch is used to increase or decrease the temperature of the air for the right front passenger independent of the driver’s setting. Press the up arrow to increase the temperature setting or the down arrow to decrease it.

3-3

In cold weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the airflow will be directed out of the floor outlets. As the interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the fan speed will decrease. To maintain interior comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come out of the instrument panel outlets in A/C mode to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness. When the automatic setting is active, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to cool the air. If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and AUTO is active, the air will first flow out of the floor outlets for a few seconds. This is normal. This is to remove hot air from the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the airflow will move through the instrument panel outlets. If you start your vehicle with the fan setting on HI, it will skip the air conditioning purge and the system will be in manual mode.

Automatic Operation AUTO: This button is used to select the automatic operation of the climate control system. When the automatic operation is active, AUTO will appear on the display. A sensor will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from the floor, the instrument panel or windshield outlets. The fan speed and use of air conditioning will vary as the system maintains the selected temperature setting. Do not cover the electronic solar sensor located on top of the instrument panel near the windshield. The sensor is used by the automatic system to regulate temperature. See “Electronic Solar Sensor” later in this section for more information. To find your comfort zone, start with the 75_F (24_C) setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to regulate. Turn the driver’s temperature knob to adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose 60_F (16_C), the system will remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not regulate fan speed. If you choose 90_F (32_C), the system will remain at that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.

Electronic Solar Sensor

To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds until warm air is available. The length of reduction depends on the outside air temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine was last started. As the coolant warms up, the fan speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the floor outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal conditions. If you select defrost mode or a fan speed, this function will be skipped and the system will be in manual mode. If you leave your vehicle, the system will recall the control setting the next time you start your engine, except for recirculation and defrost.

The sensor monitors the sun’s solar radiation. It is located on top of the instrument panel near the windshield. When the climate control system is in AUTO, the system uses this information to automatically make the necessary temperature and airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort. The climate control system may supply cooler air to one side of your vehicle, if that side is facing the sun. Be sure not to cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel. If you do, it will not work properly.

Defogging and Defrosting Use FRONT on cool and humid days to keep the windshield and side windows clear. This setting will remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions. If you desire to have more air on your feet, turn the control to the floor/defrost mode. Press FRONT to activate the defrost mode. Adjust the fan speed by pressing the up or down arrow on the fan button. You may also adjust the temperature by turning the driver’s temperature knob. If you select floor/defrost from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed and temperature for you. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode, and the A/C system cannot be turned off in this mode.

Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. Press the driver’s temperature knob to turn the system on manually. You may also need to adjust the temperature and fan speed. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. When the system is in AUTO, it will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air. Heating Press MODE to select floor. Adjust the interior temperature manually to a comfortable level. If the fan speed needs adjustment, press the up or down arrow. Outside air will be brought in, warmed and sent through the floor, instrument panel outlets. The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it. In AUTO, the fan will not run at high speed to minimize warm-up time.

Rear Window Defogger The grid lines you see on the rear window warm the glass. When the rear window defogger is turned on, the rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated to remove snow and ice from the surface of the glass.

The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes unless your vehicle is traveling more than 30 mph (48 km/h). If further defogging is desired once the system is off, press the button again. The system will automatically shut off after five minutes for any cycles after the initial activation.

REAR (Rear Window Defogger): The rear window defogger button is located on the climate control panel near the bottom left corner.

Press the button to turn on the rear defogger. Press the button again to turn the system off.

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 warming grid or the integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

The lines along the top of the window are for the diversity antenna and are not intended to defog the rear window. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals across the defogger grid on the rear window.

∧ TEMP ∨ (Temperature): Press this switch to manually adjust the temperature. Press the up arrow to increase the temperature or the down arrow to decrease it. The current temperature will appear on the display above the climate control panel. The front seat climate control panel has an AUTO button that can override the climate controls of the rear seating area automatically. When AUTO is pressed, the rear automatic mode is selected and the rear air temperature and mode will readjust to coincide with the setting selected for the front seating area. The PASS OFF button on the front climate control panel allows the settings for the driver to be used for the front and rear seat areas.

Ventilation System Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air conditioning fan is in operation. See “Recirculation” listed previously in this section for more information.

The front outlets are located in the center and at each side of the instrument panel. You can adjust the direction of airflow by moving the center control levers or you can stop the airflow by moving the thumbwheel located on each outlet downward.

Ventilation Tips D Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or

any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of the windows. D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of

objects. This helps circulate air throughout your vehicle.

Passenger Compartment Air Filter Passenger compartment air, both outside air and recirculated air, is routed through a passenger compartment filter. The filter removes certain contaminants from the air, including pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to be replaced early. The filter should be replaced as part of routine scheduled maintenance. See “Passenger Compartment Air Filter” in the Index for more information on replacement. See “Maintenance Schedule” in the Index for replacement intervals. Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to replace the filter once the old one is removed.
