front of you but will not exceed the set speed. The system may apply limited braking if necessary. When braking is active, your brake lights will come on. It may feel or sound different than if you were applying the brakes yourself. This is normal. 3-23 Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects {CAUTION: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. You could crash into an object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when approaching stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects. {CAUTION: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that suddenly appears after the lead vehicle changes lanes. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes. 3-24 Low-Speed Deactivation If your speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h) while following a vehicle ahead, Adaptive Cruise Control will begin to disengage. The driver alert symbol on the HUD will ﬂash and the warning beep will sound. The driver must take action since Adaptive Cruise Control will not slow the vehicle to a stop. Passing a Vehicle If you need to increase speed to pass a vehicle, use the accelerator pedal. While your foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. Once you pass the vehicle and remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, Adaptive Cruise Control will return to normal operation and be able to apply the brakes, if needed. {CAUTION: If you rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rest your foot on the accelerator pedal when using Adaptive Cruise Control. Curves in the Road {CAUTION: Due to Adaptive Cruise Control limitations in curves, it may respond to a vehicle in another lane, or may not have time to react to a vehicle in your lane. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose control of your vehicle. Give extra attention in curves and be ready to use the brakes if necessary. Select an appropriate speed while driving in curves. Adaptive Cruise Control may operate differently in a sharp curve. The system may reduce your speed in a curve if the curve is too sharp. The TIGHT CURVE message will also display on the HUD. See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-34 for more information. When following a vehicle and entering a curve, Adaptive Cruise Control could lose track of the vehicle in your lane and accelerate your vehicle. When this happens, the vehicle ahead symbol will not appear on the HUD. 3-25 Highway Exit Ramps {CAUTION: Adaptive Cruise Control may lose track of the vehicle ahead and accelerate up to your set speed while entering or on highway exit ramps. You could be startled by this acceleration and even lose control of the vehicle. Disengage Adaptive Cruise Control before entering a highway exit ramp. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on exit ramps. Adaptive Cruise Control may detect a vehicle that is not in your lane and apply the brakes. Adaptive Cruise Control may, occasionally, provide a driver alert and/or braking that you consider unnecessary. It could respond to signs, guardrails and other stationary objects when entering or exiting a curve. This is normal operation. Your vehicle does not need service. 3-26 Other Vehicle Lane Changes If another vehicle enters the same lane as you, Adaptive Cruise Control will not detect the vehicle until it is completely in the lane. Be ready to take action and apply the brakes yourself. Using Adaptive Cruise Control on Hills How well Adaptive Cruise Control will work on hills depends on your speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the steepness of the hills. It may not detect a vehicle in your lane while driving on hills. When going up steep hills, you may want to use the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake to keep your speed down. Applying the brake disengages the system. You may choose not to use Adaptive Cruise Control on steep hills. Disengaging Adaptive Cruise Control To disengage the system, apply the brake pedal or move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch to off. Adaptive Cruise Control information will not appear on the HUD when the system is not engaged. Erasing Set Speed Memory When you turn the Adaptive Cruise Control switch or the ignition off, the set speed memory is erased. Other Messages There are three messages that may appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC). They are SERVICE RADAR CRUISE, CRUISE NOT READY and CLEAN RADAR CRUISE. These messages will only appear to indicate a problem if Adaptive Cruise Control is active. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 for more information. You may also see CRUISE SPEED LIMITED displayed in the HUD. See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-34 for more information. 3-27 Cleaning the System The radar can become blocked by snow, ice or dirt. If so, you may need to turn off the engine and clean the lens. To clean the inside of the fascia lens and radar lens, insert a screwdriver or similar object into one of the small slots on the inboard side of the lens and pop the lens out. Clean the surface with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water on a dampened cloth. After cleaning the lens, set the lens back in place and press until it snaps in. Exterior Lamps The lens is located on the driver’s side of the front fascia. Clean the surface with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water on a dampened cloth. After cleaning the fascia lens, try to engage Adaptive Cruise Control. If this does not ﬁx the problem, you may have to remove the fascia lens and clean the inside of the fascia lens and radar lens. 3-28 The exterior lamp control is located to the left of the steering wheel on the multifunction lever. O (Exterior Lamp Control): Turn the band with this symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp band has four positions: O (Off): Turning the band to this position turns off all lamps. AUTO (Automatic): Turning the band to this position sets the exterior lamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode will turn the exterior lamps on and off depending on how much light is available outside the vehicle. To override AUTO mode, turn the control to off. To reset to AUTO mode turn the control to exterior lamps and then back to AUTO. Automatic mode will also reset when your vehicle is turned off and then back on again when the control is left in the AUTO position. ; (Parking Lamp): Turning the band to this position turns on the parking lamps together with the following: (cid:127) Sidemarker Lamps Taillamps License Plate Lamps Instrument Panel Lights The parking brake indicator light will come on and stay on when the parking lamps are on with the engine off and the ignition to ACC. 5 (Headlamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately six seconds. When the exterior lamp control has been turned off or is in the parking lamp position and the wiper control is on delay, low speed or high speed, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. Headlamps on Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off. 3-29 (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) 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. The DRL system will make the front turn signal lamps come on when the following conditions are met: It is still daylight and the ignition is on, the exterior lamp control is in the off position and the transmission is not in PARK (P). When DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps will be on. No other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel will not be lit up either. When it is dark enough outside, the front turn signal lamps will turn off and normal low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the front turn signal lamps will take over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness knob is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 3-32 for more information. If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp control is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will display on the Driver’s Information Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended. Turning the exterior lamp control to off a second time, or turning on the headlamps will remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will continue to be displayed. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. 3-30 (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) Fog Lamps Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. The fog lamps control is located on the multifunction lever next to the exterior lamp control. -(Fog Lamps): Turning the band to this position will turn the fog lamps on. When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp light will appear on the instrument panel cluster to indicate that the fog lamps and the parking lamps are on. If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the fog lamps will turn off. They will turn on again when you switch to low-beam headlamps. The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate. Twilight Sentinel® Twilight Sentinel® can turn your lamps on and off for you. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the Twilight Sentinel® work, so be sure it is not covered. With Twilight Sentinel® you will see the following happen: (cid:127) When it is dark enough outside, the front turn signal lamps (DRL) will go off, and the headlamps and parking lamps will come on. The other lamps that come on with headlamps will also come on. (cid:127) When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps will go off, and the front turn signal lamps (DRL) will come on, as long as the exterior lamp switch is in the AUTO position. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness control is in full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 3-33 for more information. 3-31 You can idle the vehicle with the lamps off, even when it is dark outside. After starting the vehicle, turn the exterior lamp control band to off, then release it. The lamps will remain off until you turn the control band to off again. Twilight Sentinel® also provides exterior illumination as you leave the vehicle. If Twilight Sentinel® has turned on the lamps when you turn off the ignition, your lamps will remain on until: The exterior lamp switch is moved from OFF to the parking lamp position, or a delay time that you select has elapsed. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-61 to select the delay time that you want. You can also select no delay time. If you turn off the ignition with the exterior lamp switch in the parking lamp or headlamp position, the Twilight Sentinel® delay will not occur. The lamps will turn off as soon as the switch is turned off. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. 3-32 Exterior Lighting Battery Saver If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off as soon as the ignition is turned off or RAP is active. This protects against draining the battery in case you have accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on. The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition switch is turned to off. If you need to leave the lamps on, use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on. Instrument Panel Brightness The button for this feature is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. +!- (Brightness): Press this button to change the brightness of the instrument panel lights. Press the DIMMER button until PANEL DIMMING appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Then use the brightness button to adjust the instrument panel brightness. Press the top of the button to brighten the lights or the bottom of the button to dim the lights. See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-34 for more information. Be sure not to have the brightness turned all the way down with the lamps on during the day. Your DIC may not be visible. (cid:127) (cid:127) Courtesy Lamps When any door or the trunk lid is opened, the interior lamps will go on unless it is bright outside. You can also turn on the courtesy lamps by pressing the interior lamp button on the right side of the instrument panel cluster. Entry/Exit Lighting With entry lighting, the interior lamps will come on when entering the vehicle. The interior lamps will come on for about 20 seconds when the engine is turned off. You can turn exit and entry lighting off by quickly turning the courtesy lamps on and off. Reading Lamps Your inside rearview mirror includes two reading lamps. The lamps will go on when a door is opened. When the doors are closed, each lamp can be turned on individually by pressing the button for that lamp. Battery Run-Down Protection Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from draining the battery in case the underhood lamp, vanity mirror lamps, cargo lamps, reading lamps, console or glove box lamps are accidentally left on or in case something is plugged into the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter. If you leave any of these lamps on, they will automatically time-out after about 20 minutes. To reset it, all of the above lamps must be turned off or the ignition key must be in ON. 3-33 Head-Up Display (HUD) {CAUTION: If the HUD 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 is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your ﬁeld of view. The Head-Up Display (HUD) allows you to 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 an image focused out toward the front of your vehicle. To change from English to metric units, see Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-61. The HUD consists of the following information: (cid:127) Speedometer Turn Signal Indicators (cid:127) High-Beam Indicator Symbol Tap-Up/Tap-Down Transmission Feature 3-34 (cid:127) Check Gages Icon (cid:127) Adaptive Cruise Control Features and Indicators (cid:127) Radio Features 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 cluster, you may not see something important, such as a warning light. Under important warning conditions, the CHECK GAGES message will display in the HUD. View your Driver Information Center (DIC) for more information. (cid:127) (cid:127) The HUD controls are located to the left of the steering wheel. +!- (Brightness): This button is used to adjust the brightness of the HUD and the instrument panel cluster. DIMMER: This button is used to select the HUD or the instrument panel cluster to adjust the brightness. HUD: This button is used to adjust the vertical position of the HUD display. To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly, do the following: 1. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position. If you change your seat position later, you may have to re-adjust your HUD. 2. Start your engine and press the top or bottom of the HUD button to center the HUD image in your view. The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down, not side-to-side. 3. Press the DIMMER button until the DIC reads HUD DIMMING. Then use the brightness button to adjust the desired intensity. The brightness of the HUD image is determined by the light conditions in the direction your vehicle is facing and where you have the HUD set. If you are facing a dark object or a heavily shaded area, your HUD may anticipate that you are entering a dark area and may begin to dim. To turn off the HUD, press the brightness button down until the image disappears. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see. 3-35 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 and out of focus. The following Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) messages may appear in the HUD: CRUISE SPEED LIMITED: This message indicates that your vehicle speed has been reduced below your set speed due to ACC limitations. Your set speed is too high and ACC cannot detect other vehicles at far enough distances for the system to operate properly. TIGHT CURVE: This message indicates that ACC has reduced your vehicle speed due to a tight curve in the road. Once the road straightens, ACC will return to your selected set speed or follow distance setting. See “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” under Turn Signal/ Multifunction Lever on page 3-7 for more information. You may also see an ACC active symbol, alert symbol or vehicle ahead symbol. See “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” under Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 3-7 for more information. As light shines out from the HUD, it is possible for light to shine back in. In rare occurrences, when the sun is at a speciﬁc angle and position, the sun’s rays can shine back into the HUD. When this occurs, the display device within the HUD will be temporarily illuminated. The event will end when the vehicle’s angle to the sun changes. Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove any dirt or ﬁlm that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the cleaner could leak into the unit. If the ignition is on and you cannot see the HUD image, check to see if: (cid:127) Something is covering the HUD unit. The brightness is adjusted properly. The HUD image is adjusted to the proper height. (cid:127) Ambient light in the direction your vehicle is facing is low. (cid:127) A fuse is blown. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 6-80. 3-36 (cid:127) (cid:127) Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) 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. {CAUTION: Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist system, the driver must check carefully before backing up. The system does not operate above typical backing speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) while parking. And, the system does not detect objects that are more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle. So, unless you check carefully behind you before and when you back up, you could strike children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind you, and they could be injured or killed. Whether or not you are using rear park assist, always check carefully behind your vehicle before you back up and then watch closely as you do. The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, below 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. 3-37 When you shift into REVERSE (R) and an object is detected, the following will occur in sequence depending on the distance from the object: (cid:127) At 5 feet (1.5 m) a chime will sound and one amber light will be lit; at 40 inches (1.0 m) both amber lights will be lit; at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will ﬂash. 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 Washing Your Vehicle on page 6-74. 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. Accessory Power Outlets The accessory power outlet can be used to connect electrical equipment such as a cellular phone or CB radio. The accessory power outlet is located inside the center console storage compartment, on the forward left side. To use the outlet, remove the tethered cap. When not using it, always cover the outlet with the protective cap. 3-38 (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) Notice: When using an accessory power outlet, maximum electrical load must not exceed 20 amps. Always turn off any electrical equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain your vehicle’s battery. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with 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 any electrical equipment to your vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the installation instructions included with the equipment. We recommend that you see a qualiﬁed technician or your dealer for the proper installation of your equipment. Notice: cause damage not covered by your warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only. Improper use of the power outlet can If you put papers or other ﬂammable items Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter The ashtray and cigarette lighter are located under a lid in the front console to the right of the shift lever. Press the left side of the lid and it will open automatically. Notice: in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put ﬂammable items in the ashtray. Loose objects, such as paper clips, can lodge behind and beneath the ashtray lid and prevent movement of the lid. You should avoid putting small, loose objects near the ashtray. To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way and let go. When it is ready, it will pop back out by itself. Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. Do not use anything other than the cigarette lighter in the heating element. 3-39 Climate Controls Automatic Operation Dual Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle. When your vehicle is ﬁrst started, the system will recall the last temperature fan and mode settings for that driver. 3-40 AUTO (Automatic): When this button is pressed and the temperature is set, the system will automatically control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode, the air-conditioning compressor and the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C). Choosing the warmest or coldest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. If you set the system at the warmest or coldest 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. You can switch from English to metric units through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61 for more information. 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. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section. Manual Operation w PWR x (Power/Temperature): Press the PWR button on the left side of the climate control panel to turn the entire climate control system on or off. Press the up or down arrow on the switch to manually increase or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle. Press the PWR button on the right side of the climate control panel to turn the passenger’s climate control system on or off. Press the up or down arrow on the switch to manually increase or decrease the temperature for the passenger. If the passenger’s PWR button is off, the driver’s temperature switch controls the temperature for the entire vehicle. «9ª(Fan): Press this switch to increase or decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. If the airﬂow seems low when the fan speed 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 3-45 and Scheduled Maintenance on page 7-4. 3-41 ªN« (Mode): Pressing the switch and changing the mode cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press the AUTO button to return to automatic operation. To change the current mode, select one of the following: H (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. % (Bi-Level): This mode directs approximately half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs most of the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 6 (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets with some air directed to the side window outlets, and a little air directed to the windshield. The mode switch can also be used to select the defog mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can be found later in this section. A/C OFF (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn off the air conditioning compressor. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. The compressor cannot be turned off in either the defrost or ﬂoor/defog mode. ( (Heated/Cooled Seat): Press this button to turn the feature on. The button on the left controls the driver’s seat and the button on the right controls the passenger’s seat. Each press of the button will take you to a different setting. The settings available in order are HI HEAT, LO HEAT, OFF, HI COOL, LO COOL and OFF. You will be able to feel the temperature change in a few minutes. The feature will automatically shut off when the vehicle is turned off. ? (Recirculation): Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on or off. The air-conditioning compressor also comes on. This mode keeps outside air from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Recirculation is not available in defrost or ﬂoor/defog mode. Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. 3-42 Sensors There are sensors to measure the temperature and sun’s effect on passenger comfort. The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar radiation then uses the information to maintain the selected temperature when operating in AUTO mode 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 on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield or the system will not work properly. There is also a sensor located behind the front bumper. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. The outside temperature will be displayed in the navigation system only when the engine is running. Any cover on the front of the vehicle could give a false reading of the temperature. If the outside temperature goes up, the display temperature will not change until: The vehicle’s speed is above 10 mph (16 km/h) for ﬁve minutes. The vehicle’s speed is above 32 mph (51 km/h) for two and one-half minutes. These delays prevent false readings. If the temperature goes down, the outside temperature will be shown when you start the vehicle. If it has been turned off for less than three hours, the temperature will be recalled from the previous vehicle operation. There is also an inside temperature sensor located to the left of the ignition button. The automatic climate control system uses this sensor to receive information, so if you block or cover it, the system will not function properly. 3-43 (cid:127) (cid:127) 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. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from your windshield. Use the ﬂoor/defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use defrost to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. - (Floor/Defog): Press the mode button until the defog mode appears on the display. This mode directs the air between the windshield, ﬂoor outlets and side windows. When you select this mode, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is near or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the ﬂoor/defog mode. 1 (Defrost): Press this button to direct most of the air to the windshield, with some air directed to the side windows. In this mode, the system will automatically turn off the recirculation and run the air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside temperature is near or below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while in the defrost mode. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 3-44 Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. The rear window defogger will only work when the engine is running. = (Rear Window Defogger): 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. The rear window defogger will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the button is pressed when traveling less than 30 mph (48 km/h). If turned on again, the defogger will only run for approximately ﬁve minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirrors when the rear window defogger is on. The rear window defogger and heated mirrors are automatically disabled when the retractable hardtop is moving or down. Notice: Don’t use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. Outlet Adjustment Use the thumbwheel to open or close the outlets. Operation Tips (cid:127) Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the ﬂow of air into your vehicle. (cid:127) Use of non-GM approved hood deﬂectors may adversely affect the performance of the system. (cid:127) Keep the area around the base of the instrument panel console and air path under the seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more effectively. Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air ﬁlter removes certain odor and particles from the air including pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airﬂow, which may occur more often in dusty areas, indicate that the ﬁlter may need to be replaced early. The ﬁlter should be replaced as part of the routine scheduled maintenance. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 7-4 for more information. The passenger compartment air ﬁlter is located on the passenger’s side of the engine compartment near the battery. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6-12 for more information on location. To check or replace the air ﬁlter, do the following: 1. With the hood open, unlatch and remove the access panel. 2. Pull the old ﬁlter out of the housing. 3. Insert the new ﬁlter into the housing. The ﬁlter should be fully inserted with the arrows pointing up. 4. Reinstall the air ﬁlter access panel. 3-45 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 are 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 is 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 are a big help. Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-61. Instrument Panel Cluster Your instrument panel cluster and Driver Information Center (DIC) are designed to let you know at a glance how the vehicle is running. You will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel you have left and many other things you will need to know to drive safely and economically. The instrument panel cluster indicator warning lights, gages and DIC messages are explained on the following pages. 3-46 United States shown, Canada similar 3-47 Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). There is only one scale for mph and km/h. Use the Driver Information Center (DIC) controls to switch between mph and km/h. See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61 for more information. The cluster will calculate the proper speed and move the needle to the correct position. Either the MPH or the km/h telltale will illuminate, depending on which measurement you choose. The odometer is part of the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61 for more information. Trip Odometer The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61 for more information. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Fuel will shut off at about 6700 rpm. If you continue to drive your vehicle at the fuel shut off rpm, you could damage your engine. Be sure to operate your vehicle below the fuel shut off rpm or reduce your rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off. Safety Belt Reminder Light When the ignition is turned on, a chime will be provided for several seconds to remind people to buckle their safety belts. The driver safety belt light will also be provided and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. You should buckle your seat belt. This chime and light will be repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. 3-48 If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light will be provided. Airbag Readiness Light There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows a deployed airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-36. 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. If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. The airbags 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 airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle. The airbag readiness light should ﬂash for a few seconds when you turn the vehicle on. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. 3-49 Airbag Off Light {CAUTION: If the passenger’s airbags are turned off for a person who is not in a risk group identiﬁed by the national government, that person will not have the extra protection of the airbags. In a crash, the airbags would not be able to inﬂate and help protect the person sitting there. Do not turn off the passenger’s airbags unless the person sitting there is in a risk group. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-44 for more on this, including important safety information. When you turn the passenger’s airbags off, this light will come on and stay on to remind you that the airbags have been turned off. This light will go off when you turn the airbags back on. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-44 for more on this, including important safety information. 3-50 {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light ever comes on when you have turned off the airbags, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. The passenger’s airbags could inﬂate even though the switch is off. If this ever happens, do not let anyone whom the national government has identiﬁed as a member of a passenger airbag risk group sit in the passenger’s position (for example, do not secure a rear-facing child restraint in your vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-44. Voltmeter Gage When the vehicle is in accessory mode, the voltmeter shows the voltage output of your battery. When the engine is running, it shows the voltage output of the charging system. The reading will change as the rate of charge changes (with engine speed, for example), but if the voltmeter reads at 9 volts or below, your instrument panel cluster and other systems may shut down. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will read LOW VOLTAGE when your vehicle is at 10 volts or below. Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter reading at 10 volts or below could drain your battery and disable your vehicle. 3-51 Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part is not working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the light comes on while you are driving and you have a LOW BRAKE FLUID message showing on the DIC, 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 on page 5-35. {CAUTION: 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 have pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for service. United States Canada This light should come on when you start the engine. If it does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If this warning light stays on after you start the engine, the parking brake may still be set or there could be a brake problem. Refer to Parking Brake on page 2-28 to see if it is set. If the parking brake is not set, have your brake system inspected right away. 3-52 Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light With the anti-lock brake system, the light will come on when your engine is started and may stay on for several seconds. That is normal. This light should come on brieﬂy as you start the engine. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when you are 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 are driving, your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See “Service ABS” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64. The anti-lock brake system warning light will come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition on. This is normal. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. The light will also come on while the StabiliTrak® system warms up and the STABILITRAK WARMING message will be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC). If it stays on, or comes on and the DIC shows a SERVICE TRACTION SYS message when you are driving, there is a problem with your TCS and your vehicle needs service. When this light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. If the driver turns off TCS by pressing the button on the console, the TCS system light will come on and the TRACTION SYSTEM-OFF message will show on the DIC. If the light stays on or comes on while you are driving, a chime sounds and a SERVICE STABILITRAK message appears on the DIC, there is a problem with your StabiliTrak® and the vehicle needs service. 3-53 You can acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET button. When the SERVICE STABILITRAK message is displayed, the StabiliTrak® system will not assist you in controlling the vehicle. You should have the system serviced as soon as possible. Adjust your driving accordingly. When the system is working, you will see the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message displayed in the DIC. You may also feel of hear the system working. This is normal. If you turn off the StabiliTrak® system, by pressing the front part of the button on the console for ﬁve seconds, the traction control system light will come on, a chime will sound and the TRAC/STABILITRAK OFF message will be displayed in the DIC. The Traction Control System will also be turned off. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 for more information. If the StabiliTrak® system and Traction Control System are turned off, pressing the console button momentarily will turn both systems on. The DIC will display the TRAC/STABILITRAK ON message, the instrument cluster light will be off and a chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 for more information. 3-54 Engine Coolant Temperature Gage United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. As the pointer nears 260°F (125°C), your engine coolant temperature is high. A message may display on the Driver Information Center (DIC) depending on how high the temperature is. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 for more information. See Engine Overheating on page 6-23 for more information. Tire Pressure Light This light should come on brieﬂy as you start the engine. It will then come on only when a ﬂat or low tire pressure condition exists. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 6-55 for more information. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light 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 If you keep driving your vehicle with this life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. The 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. Notice: light on, after awhile, 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, transmission, 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. 3-55 This light should come on brieﬂy, as a check to show you it is working, as you start the engine. If the light does not 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. Diagnosis and service may be required. Light On Steady — An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may be required. If the Light Is Flashing The following may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle: (cid:127) Reducing vehicle speed (cid:127) Avoiding hard accelerations (cid:127) Avoiding steep uphill grades If the light stops ﬂashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. 3-56 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 engine 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 see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the Light Is On Steady You also 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 6-7. 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 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. Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 6-5. Poor fuel quality will cause your engine not to run as efficiently as designed. (cid:127) (cid:127) 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, your dealer can 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 to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the CHECK ENGINE light is on or not working properly. To perform a Check Engine light bulb check with the keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob is in the passenger compartment. See Ignition Positions on page 2-22. Press the bottom of the ACC button on the instrument panel and hold the button down for ﬁve seconds. The instrument panel, including the Check Engine light, will light up and the ignition will be on, but the engine will not start — if you press the bottom of the ACC button only brieﬂy, less than ﬁve seconds, the accessory mode will be turned on, but not the ignition. After the bulb check, be sure to press and release the ACC button again to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the vehicle’s battery. 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, your GM dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. 3-57 {CAUTION: Do not 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: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. Engine Oil Pressure Gage United States Canada The engine oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) or kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running. Oil pressure should be 20 to 80 psi (140 to 550 kPa). In certain situations such as long, extended idles on hot days, it could read as low as 6 psi (40 kPa) and still be considered normal. It may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity. The Driver Information Center (DIC) may display messages regarding the oil condition. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 and Engine Oil on page 6-13. 3-58 Security Light Lights On Reminder For information regarding this light, see Theft-Deterrent Systems on page 2-19. This light comes on whenever the headlamps are on. Fog Lamp Light The fog lamps light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. United States Only Highbeam On Light This light will illuminate when the headlamp high beams are in use. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 3-31 for more information. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8. 3-59 Fuel Gage Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left when the ignition is on. When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, LOW FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. At this time, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s). Pressing RESET will also turn off a DIC message but the LOW FUEL message will come on again in 10 minutes if you have not added fuel to the vehicle. Here are ﬁve things that some owners ask about. All these things are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage. (cid:127) At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads the full symbol. It takes more (or less) fuel to ﬁll up than the gage reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity to ﬁt it. The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. The gage may not indicate the tank is empty when the ignition is turned off. The gage reading may change slightly within the ﬁrst several minutes after starting the vehicle. 3-60 (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC) to display more detailed fuel information.
