UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 151

Using Speed Control On Hills NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. The automatic transmission will downshift while climb- ing uphill or descending downhill. This downshift is necessary to maintain vehicle set speed. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed control.

WARNING!

Speed Control can be dangerous where the system can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow- covered, or slippery.

152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) — IF EQUIPPED Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving convenience provided by cruise control while traveling on highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety system and not designed to prevent collisions. ACC will allow you to keep cruise control engaged in light to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need to reset your cruise control. ACC utilizes an infrared sensor designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead in your path.

NOTE: • If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, ACC will function in the same way as a standard cruise control system. For additional information, refer to “Electronic Speed Control” in this section. • If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration automatically so that your vehicle maintains a preset following dis- tance.

WARNING!

WARNING!

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 153

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and most importantly brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in an accident or serious personal injury.

• The ACC system: − Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e. a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle). − Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding

vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.

− Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and

may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.

− Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which

can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.

− May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example,

sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.

− Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability,

and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

You should switch off the ACC system: • When driving in fog; heavy rain; heavy snow; sleet; heavy traffic; and complex driving situations (i.e. in highway construction zones). • When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes; and when towing a trailer. • When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a

constant speed.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in an accident or serious personal injury.

To Resume Speed: Push the lever up and release (“RESUME ACCEL”), and then remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The EVIC will display the last set speed.

WARNING!

The Resume function should only be used if traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming a set speed that is too high or too low for prevailing traffic and road conditions could cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate too sharply for safe operation. This could cause an accident and/or serious injury.

To Vary the Speed Setting: While ACC is set, you can increase the set speed by lifting and holding the lever up (“RESUME ACCEL”). If the lever is continually held, the set speed will continue to increase in 5 mph (Canada 10 km/h) increments until the lever is released. The increase in set speed is reflected in the EVIC display. Tapping the lever up once will result in a 1 mph (Canada 1 km/h) increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in an increase of 1 mph (Canada 1 km/h). While ACC is set, the set speed can be decreased by pushing and holding the lever down (“SET DECEL”). If the lever is continually held, the set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph (Canada 10 km/h) increments until the lever is released. The decrease in set speed is reflected in the EVIC display.

Tapping the lever down once will result in a 1 mph (Canada 1 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in a decrease of 1 mph (Canada 1 km/h). NOTE: • When you use the lever to decelerate, if the engine’s braking power does not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will automati- cally slow the vehicle. • The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and down hill. However, a slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may occur while climbing uphill or descending down- hill.

Precautions While Driving with ACC In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or unexpect- edly. The driver needs to stay alert and may need to intervene. Offset Driving ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that is offset from your direct line of travel. There will not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and out of the line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.

Turns and Bends In turns or bends, ACC may detect a vehicle ahead too late or too early. This may cause your vehicle to brake late or unexpectedly. Give extra attention in curves and be ready to apply the brakes if necessary. Be sure to select an appropriate speed while driving in curves.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 169

Using ACC on Hills When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane. Depending on the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steepness of the hills, ACC perfor- mance may be limited.

ACC may occasionally provide braking and/or a driver alert that you consider unnecessary. This may be the system’s response to signs, guardrails, and other station- ary objects in a curve. This may also occur at the base of dramatic hills. This is normal operation and your vehicle does not require service.

170 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Lane Changing ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane in which you are traveling. In the illustration shown, ACC has not yet detected the vehicle changing lanes and it will not until it may be too late to take action. ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane. There will not be sufficient distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.

Narrow Vehicles Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not detected until they have moved fully into the lane. There will not be suffi- cient distance to the vehicle ahead.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 171

Stationary Objects and Vehicles ACC does not react to stationary objects and stationary vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in situations where the vehicle you are following exits your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your lane. Always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.

REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Rear Park Assist System is a driver aid that senses for obstacles behind the vehicle. Refer to the Warnings, Cautions, and Notes in this section for system limitations and usage recommendations. The Rear Park Assist System is active when the driver shifts the transmission into the “R” (Reverse) position, and the parking brake is not applied, and the vehicle speed is less than 10 mph (16 km/h).

When the vehicle is in PARK, the system can be turned on or off through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — if equipped. For details, refer to “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features)” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Sec- tion 4 of this manual. The system uses four sensors located in the rear bumper to scan for obstacles up to 59 inches (150 cm) away from the rear bumper fascia. The warning display located above the rear window provides both visible and audible warnings to indicate the range of the object.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 173

The warning display contains two sets of yellow and red LEDs, one set to warn of obstacles behind the left rear of the vehicle and the other set to warn of obstacles behind the right rear of the vehicle. The driver can view the LEDs either through the rear view mirror or by looking at the display above the rear window. The system dimly illuminates the two outer most yellow LEDs when it is ON and detecting no obstacles. The following chart shows the warning display operation when the system is detecting an obstacle:

WARNING!

• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Rear Park Assist System. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other ve- hicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

• Before using the Rear Park Assist System,

is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when the warning dis- play turns the red LEDs ON. Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, de- pending on its size and shape, giving a false indica- tion that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

it

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 175

CAUTION!

• The Rear Park Assist System is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, in- cluding small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Ob- stacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity. • The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the Rear Park Assist System to be able to stop in time when the obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when using the Rear Park Assist System.

WARNING!

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger- ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri- ous injury or death.

Programming HomeLink姞

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLink威 buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds. The EVIC will display “CLEARING CHAN- NELS.” Release the buttons when the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.”

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink威 for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) from the HomeLink威 buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the hand- held transmitter away from the HomeLink威. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink威 button and the hand-held transmitter button until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.”

Then release both the HomeLink威 and hand-held trans- mitter buttons. If the EVIC display states “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat Step 3. If the signal is too weak, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter. It may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open & close while you train. NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace Step #3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 179

4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink威 button. If the channel has been trained, the EVIC display will now state “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.” If the EVIC display still states “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” repeat Step 3. NOTE: After training a HomeLink威 channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLink威 and the garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming A Rolling Code System.”

180 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open & close the door).

1 — Garage Door Opener 2 — Training Button 6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed.

7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink威 button twice (holding the button for 2 sec- onds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for 2 seconds) to complete the training. If you are have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLink威 buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels. Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink威 to pick up the signal during programming.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 181

Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or gate motor. If you are having difficulties programming a garage door opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming HomeLink” Step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink威 button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLink威 has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The EVIC display will change from “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time.

182 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink.” earlier in this section. Using HomeLink姞 To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink威 button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc. The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Reprogramming a Single HomeLink姞 Button To re-program a channel trained, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink威 button for 20
seconds until the EVIC display states “CHANNEL # TRAINING.” Do not release the button.

front-opening lid allows for easy access to the storage compartment for the both the driver and the front passenger. Cargo Area The 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides cargo-carrying versatility. The seatbacks fold down easily by pulling nylon tabs between the seatbacks and the bolsters. When the seats are folded down, they provide a continuous, nearly flat extension of the load floor. When the seatback is folded to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly pulling on the top of the seatback above the seat strap.

WARNING!

• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback in not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury. • The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in an accident. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system. • To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 193

LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The automatic load leveling system will provide a level- riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading conditions. A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling to complete depending on road surface conditions. If the leveled vehicle is not moved for approximately 15
hours, the leveling system will bleed itself down. The vehicle must be driven to reset the system.

WARNING!

• The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of gravity and ve- hicle handling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible. • Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. • Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Electronic Speed Control/Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light will turn on when the electronic speed control or ACC is ON. (See page 148 for more information.) (See page 152 for more information.)

2. Low Fuel Indicator Light

This light will turn on and a single chime will sound when the fuel level drops to 1/8 tank. (See page 369 for more information.)

3. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped

This light will turn on when the front fog lights are ON. (See page 134 for more information.)

4. Turn Signal Indicators

The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when the turn signal lever is operated.

NOTE: A continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on. NOTE: Check for a defective outside light bulb if either indicator flashes at a rapid rate.(See page 135 for more information.) 5. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 6. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. The trip odometer shows individual trip mileage. Refer to “Trip Odometer Button” for additional information. NOTE: U.S. federal regulations require upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify the mileage the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed because of repair or replacement, be

sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. On vehicles equipped with a Premium Instrument Clus- ter, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages when the appropriate conditions exist. (See page 213 for more information.) Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “Check Gascap” message will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — if equipped. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the odom- eter reset button to turn off the message. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 203

A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap may also turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). (See page 417 for more information.) Change Oil Message (Base Cluster) Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Change Oil” message will flash in the instrument cluster odometer for approximately 12
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset

204 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following proce- dure:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine). 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

If the indicator message illuminates when you NOTE: start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure. 7. Tachometer The red segments indicate the maximum permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (r.p.m. x 1000) for each gear range. Ease up on the accelerator before reaching the red area.

8. Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light will turn on and a single chime will sound to warn of an overheated engine condition. When this light turns on, the engine temperature is critically hot. The vehicle should be turned off imme- diately and serviced as soon as possible. (See page 393 for more information.) 9. Anti-Lock Brake Light — If Equipped

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and service is required. However, the con- ventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on.

If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the Ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. (See page 325 for more information.) 10. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) / Brake Assist System (BAS) Malfunction Indicator Light

The yellow ESP/BAS malfunction indicator light will turn on when the key in the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The light should go out with the engine running. The system will turn this light on continuously while the engine running if it detects a malfunction in either the ESP or the BAS or both. (See page 331 for more informa- tion.)

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 205

11. Airbag Warning Light

This light will turn on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is either not on during starting, or stays on, or turns on while driving, then have the system inspected at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. (See page 64 for more information.) 12. Brake System Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system (if equipped). The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity to a portion of the hydraulic system in the event of a failure. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is

206 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder drops below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers due to a change in fluid level. If so, the vehicle should have service performed and the brake fluid level checked. Immediate repair is necessary if brake failure is indicated.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger- ous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). Both the Brake Warning Light and the ABS Light will turn on in the event of an EBD failure. Immediate repair of the ABS system is required in the event of an EBD failure. The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the LOCK position to the ON position. The light should turn on for approxi- mately two seconds and then turn off. The light will remain on if the parking brake is applied or if a brake fault is detected. If the parking brake is not applied and the light remains on, or if the light does not turn on, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. NOTE: The light will turn on when the ignition switch in the ON position and the parking brake is applied. This

or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H,” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.

light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. (See page 324
for more information.) 13. Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light — If Equipped

If this indicator light flashes during accelera- tion, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions, and do not switch off the ESP. (See page 328 for more information.) (See page 331 for more information.) 14. Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera- ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera- ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades,

208 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call a service center if your vehicle overheats.
