This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the red area, the engine is too hot. That reading means the same thing as the warning light -- the engine coolant has overheated. In the section “Problems on the Road,” this manual explains what to do. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Service Engine Soon Light)

I NOTICE:

SERVICE ENGINE SOON

United States

Canada

Your vehicle is equipped with a computer which monitors operation of the fuel, ignition and emission control systems. This system is called OBD 11 (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.

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.

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: 0 Reducing vehicle speed. 0 Avoiding hard accelerations. 0 Avoiding steep uphill grades.

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. 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. will take a few driving trips to turn the light off. Have you recently changed brands of fuel?

It

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.

Oil Pressure Light

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

to ON or

The light goes on when you turn your key 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 stuys 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.

A 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.

I NOTICE:

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

The system should indicate changing the oil between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km). It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles (5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the vehicle has been driven 7,500 miles (12 500 km), it will indicate to change the oil. If you drive in a dusty area, you should change your oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first) unless the display indicates changing it sooner. When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system. To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the INFO button. Then press and hold the INFO RESET button until the display shows 100% ENGINE OIL LIFE.

Oil Life Indicator

This feature lets you know when to change the engine oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns. To see the display, press the INFO button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears. If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your current oil life remains. The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL message. Always keep a written record of the mileage and date when you changed your oil. For more information, see the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you should change the oil right away. The system doesn't check how much oil you have, so you'll still have to check for that. To see how, see "Engine Oil" in the Index.

Comfort Controls This section tells you how to make your air system work for you. Your electronic climate control system uses ozone-friendly R- 134a refrigerant. Climate Control Panel

Personalization feature, you will be able to program your preferred climate control settings by using your remote keyless entry transmitter. See “Climate Control Personalization” later in this section. AUTO: The AUTO button will turn on the system and automatically adjust the fan blower speed, air delivery mode and temperature to your previously

1 programmed settings.

TEMP: This knob adjusts the air temperature coming through the system. Turn the TEMP knob to the right to increase the temperature and to the left to decrease the temperature. You may also press the TEMP knob to turn the system on and off. (You can turn the comfort control system on by pressing any button on the panel. The passenger’s TEMP knob only turns off the system of the passenger’s side.) Once the system is turned off, fresh air will continue to flow through the vehicle, and the system will try to maintain the previously set temperature. Driver’s Side Temperature Knob you can control the temperature of the driver’s side independently from the passenger’s side. Turn the driver’s side TEMP knob to the right to increase the temperature and to the left to decrease the temperature.

Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-zone 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 altering the controls. If your vehicle is equipped with the Climate Control

3-2

Passenger's Side Temperature Knob The right front passenger can control the temperature of air for that area. (The passenger and driver knobs adjust 60 " F ( 16" C) to 90" F (32 " C) independent of each other. It is suggested, however, that the passenger's setting stay no more than four degrees warmer or cooler in temperature from the driver's setting.) To turn the system on, press the passenger's side TEMP button. Turn the passenger's side TEMP knob to the right to increase the temperature and to the left to decrease the temperature. Press the passenger's side TEMP knob again to turn off the passenger's side system. If the passenger's side is turned off, the driver's side will control the temperature of the entire vehicle.

Automatic Operation When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from the floor, the instrument panel or windshield outlets. The fan speed will vary as the system maintains the selected temperature setting. Be careful not to put anything over the electronic solar sensors located near the ends of the instrument panel near the windshield. These sensors are used by the automatic system to regulate temperature.

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 TEMP 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. With the automatic setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to cool the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor outlets. As the interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the blower 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 aifflow may come out of the air conditioning outlets (AX mode) to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.

Electronic Solar Sensor Electronic Solar Sensor

If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO, the air will first flow out 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 air conditioning outlets. 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 blower fan speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal conditions. If you select defrost mode or a manual fan speed, this function will be skipped. If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the control setting the next time you start your engine, except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle cancels recirculation. Defrost will change to automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and then turned back on.

The sensor monitors the sun’s solar radiation and located near the end of the instrument panel near the windshield. The climate control panel 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 careful not to put anything over the sensor on top of the dash.

Manual Operation You may manually adjust the air delivery mode, fan speed, air input and compressor operation using the following controls.

DEFROST (FRONT): 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.

RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air. Pressing the recirculation button will change the operation to a manual mode and non-stop. Press this button again to turn off the recirculation feature. If you notice the windows fogging, press the recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode. N C : Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. When you press the button, an A/C OFF message appears on the climate control panel’s display. Press the button again and the air conditioner will return to automatic control. The system will cool

the air will recirculate

and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. In the automatic mode, the air conditioning compressor only operates when the system determines it is needed. The A/C OFF function is not available in the defrost mode. MODE: Press this button (the right or left arrow) to deliver air through the floor, instrument panel or windshield outlets. The climate control system will stay in the selected mode until the MODE button, the DEFROST button or the AUTO button is pressed again. Press the left or right arrow to cycle through the following available modes. f l Upper: This setting directs airflow through the middle instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle is equipped with a driver’s side lap cooler which will also come on when the upper vents are being used. l f l Bi-Level: This setting directs air into your vehicle in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper portion of your body through the four instrument panel outlets while warmed air is directed to the floor. -e and toward the windshield.

Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed. Press the AUTO button to set the fan speed for automatic operation. If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan speed right away. The system checks the temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant is warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing into the passenger’s compartment. Selecting a manual fan speed will override this feature. Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. Your A/C setting may be adjusted automatically or manually. It may also be set separately on the passenger’s side from the driver’s side. See “Climate Control Panel” earlier in this section.

Heating Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan speed needs adjusting, press the up down arrow. Adjusting the fan speed will cancel the cold air delay. Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor, air conditioning or bi-level outlets. The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it. In automatic operation, your fan will not run at high speed to minimize warm-up time. Defrosting and Defogging Use defrost (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, move the control to the defog mode. You may do this by pressing the right or left arrow on the MODE button. Press the fan button’s up or down arrow to control the blower speed. You may also adjust the temperature by turning the TEMP knob. Recirculation and the A/C OFF message are not available in the defrost mode.

Rear Window Defogger

The grid lines you see on the rear window warm the glass. Press this button to turn on the rear defogger. With it, the rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.

The system will automatically shut off after ten minutes. If further defogging is desired, press the button again. The system will automatically shut off after five minutes for any activations after the first one.

Note that 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.

I NOTICE:

Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage the heating grids. Your warranty would not cover this damage. Don’t put decals there because you might have to scrape them off.

The direction and quantity of airflow for the rear seats can also be adjusted at the back of the console. Heater outlets are located under the front seat to w m the feet of rear passengers. Move the fan lever to adjust the blower speed from LO to HI. Adjust the knob to direct the air flow. To reduce airflow to the rear outlets, slide the fan lever all the way to the left. Turning the knob to OFF will completely stop airflow, no matter where the fan blower control is set.

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 dial or you can stop the airflow by moving the control located on each outlet downward.

Ventilation Tips 0 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. 0 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, which is part of a three-piece filter system. 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 carbon-treated filter is located inside the air control module, with an access panel underneath the instrument panel near the accelerator pedal. The filter should be replaced as part of routine scheduled maintenance. See the Maintenance Schedule booklet for replacement intervals. See your dealer for details on changing the filter. Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to replace the filter once the old one is removed. However, the air will no longer be filtered.

HVAC Steering Wheel Controls

Some heating and cooling controls can be adjusted at the steering wheel. Other touch controls operate some audio controls. See “Audio Steering Wheel Controls” in the Index.

TEMP: Press the up arrow on the control to increase the temperature and the down arrow to decrease temperature. 8 FAN: Press the up arrow on the control to increase the fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.

Climate Control Personalization (If Equipped) With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest climate control settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was operated. These settings include the set temperatures for driver and passenger, air conditioning, mode and fan speed. (This feature does not recall recirculation or defrost modes.) This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own climate control settings. The settings recalled by the climate control system are determined by which RKE transmitter (“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the RKE transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. After any button is pressed on the RKE transmitter or the key is placed in the ignition, the climate control settings will automatically adjust to where they were last set. The settings can also be changed by briefly pressing buttons 1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.
