Fuel Gage


United States


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 about 1.8 gallons (7 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. 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: • At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before


the gage reads full.


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


• The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly


or accelerate quickly.

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 on page 5-68. 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 on page 5-77.


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 on page 5-68.


{CAUTION:


When the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message is displayed on the Driver Information Center and the tire pressure is low, your vehicle’s 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.

Audio System(s) Notice: Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle – like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio – be sure you can add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio or other systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added improperly. So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. Your audio system has been designed to operate easily and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle, find out what your audio system can do and how to operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the most out of the advanced engineering that went into it. Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio system even after the ignition is turned off. See “Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” under Ignition Positions on page 2-25.

Playing a Cassette Tape Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin that they may not work well in this player. The longer side with the tape visible should face to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. If you hear nothing or hear a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the tape and start over. Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or chrome tape is inserted. If you want to insert a tape while the ignition or radio is off, first press the eject button. Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will work in your cassette tape player.

Navigation/Radio Display and Controls


Your vehicle may be equipped with an AM-FM radio navigation system that includes digital signal processing (DSP), a radio data system (RDS) with program “type” selections (PTY) that will seek out the kind of music you want to listen to.
