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.
2-81
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 “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.

Oil Pressure Gage
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.
United States
Canada
NOTICE:
The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals).
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not covered by your warranty.
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range. A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low oil pressure.

Automatic Operation Press the AUTO button to set the system to automatically control the air delivery mode, fan speed, air temperature and recirculation operations. Whenever you press AUTO, the display will change to show the current driver’s set temperature, automatic air delivery mode and fan speed. Press the AUTO button again within five seconds and the display will show the passenger’s set temperature. After five seconds the display will change to the EXT (external) temperature outside the vehicle. When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning operation and air inlet will be automatically controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run when outside temperature is over approximately 40_F (4_C). The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it’s hot outside, the air inlet will automatically switch to recirculated inside air to help quickly cool down your vehicle. To find your comfort setting, start with a 74_ F (23_C) temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to regulate. Turn the driver’s or passenger’s side temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If you choose the temperature setting of 60_F (15_C), the
system will remain at the maximum cooling setting and fan speed. If you choose the temperature setting of 90_F (32_C), the system will remain at the maximum heat setting and fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor regulates air temperature based on sun load, and also turns on your headlamps. The EXT (exterior) temperature sensor is located in the front of the vehicle behind the grille. The displayed temperature is most accurate after the vehicle has been moving for a few minutes. If the vehicle is stopped and then restarted within 2 1/2 hours, the sensor will be hot from the engine heat. In this case, the temperature first displayed will continue to be the temperature that was displayed before the vehicle was turned off. The display will update after the vehicle has been moving for a few minutes and the sensor has a chance to cool down to the actual temperature. To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available. The length of delay depends on the engine coolant temperature. Pressing the fan switch will override this delay and change the fan to a selected speed.

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. If your vehicle has the manual system, for quick cool-down on very hot days, use the airflow from the panel outlets, press recirculation and air conditioning with the temperature control in the blue area. If this max air conditioning setting is used for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may become too cold and dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use air conditioning without recirculation with the temperature control in the blue area. If your vehicle has the automatic system, press the AUTO button and the system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in this mode, the system will maximize its performance by using recirculation as necessary. On cool, but sunny days, with the manual system or through manual operation of the automatic system, use bi-level to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the temperature control to the desired setting.
3-8
Heating If you have the manual system, on cold days use floor with the temperature lever in the red area. If you have the automatic system, press AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning the temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise. You may also adjust the automatic system manually by pressing the MODE button and selecting floor. Again, adjust the temperature by turning the temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise. With either system, outside air will be heated and sent through the floor outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows closed while using it. Defogging and Defrosting On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield and side windows clear. Use the FRONT defrost button to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions. If your vehicle has the manual system, select defog and adjust the fan speed to your comfort level. Turn the air conditioning on to help dehumidify the air. Use front defrost with the temperature toward the red area and the fan control toward high.
If your vehicle has the automatic system and you select FRONT defrost or defog from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. Adjust the temperature and fan speed to your comfort level. After the windshield is clear, adjust the temperature to your normal setting and select the AUTO button and return to AUTO mode and fan control. For maximum front defrost performance under extreme icing or frosting conditions, increase the temperature setting to 90_F (32_C) and increase the fan speed to high. Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button will activate them. After 10 minutes it will turn off by itself, or press the button during the heating cycle to turn it off. If you need additional warming time, press the button again. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the defogger grid. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass. Press the button to start warming your window. A light will glow in the button while the defogger is working.

Ventilation System For mild outside temperatures when little heating or cooling is needed, use the panel outlet setting (on the manual system) to direct outside air through your vehicle. Air will flow through the instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle when it’s moving. When the vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow through by selecting any air delivery mode and any fan speed.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the direction and amount of airflow inside the vehicle. Move the louvers up or down and move the control in the center of each outlet side-to-side to direct the air from the outlet. Use the thumbwheel next to or underneath the outlet to close the louvers. For the most efficient airflow and temperature control, keep the outlet in the fully opened position.
The rear seat outlets can be used to adjust the airflow toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move the control in the center of each outlet in any direction to direct airflow.
3-11
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 better, reducing the chance of fogging your windows.
D In cool damp weather, minimize your use of recirculation to reduce the chance of fogging your windows.
D When you enter a vehicle with the manual system in cold weather, select floor mode to supply air through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high for a few moments before driving away. This will blow moist air from the intake outlets toward the floor, not the windshield. It reduces the chance of fogging your windows. If you have the automatic system, the AUTO setting will do this for you. Manual operation of the automatic system in the floor mode will also supply air through the floor outlets.
D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.

Using RDS Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS is a system that sends data along with the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned to. You can use RDS to display program information and to control your radio. With RDS your radio can do the following: D Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,
D seek to stations with traffic announcements, D receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and
D receive and display messages from radio stations.
3-27
RDS features are only available on FM stations which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from these stations. These features will only work when the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, please contact the radio station. When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their current programming. Some stations also provide the name of the current program. TUNE DISP: Press this control to change what appears on the display while using RDS. Pressing this control will also display an RDS station frequency or program type when the radio is on. The display options are station name, station frequency, PTY and the name of the program (if available). Pressing and holding this control will activate the RDS default display.
Accessing RDS To access RDS stations perform the following steps: 1. Push the SEEK TYPE button or turn the P-TYPE
LIST AUDIO control to display the program type list.
2. Turn the control either clockwise or
counterclockwise to select a program type. The list is alphabetical. If you select ANY TYPE your radio will seek to the first PTY available.
3. Push the SEEK TYPE button to activate search. VOL PWR: Turn this control clockwise to increase volume when RDS interrupts regular play. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume. P-TYPE LIST AUDIO: Turn this control clockwise or counterclockwise to select the Program Type (PTY) you want to listen to. TYPE and a PTY will appear on the display. Press the SEEK TYPE button and the radio will seek to the first RDS broadcaster of the selected program type. If the radio cannot find the desired program type, NONE will appear on the display and the radio will return to the last station you were listening to.
