ESP/TCS Indicator Light The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” located in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

WARNING!

† Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. † ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

ESP Operating Modes The ESP system has 2 available operating modes. ESP ON This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the vehicle is started the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial ESP” for specific reasons as noted below.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 157

Traction Control Switch

PARTIAL ESP This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the “ESP OFF” button. When in “Partial ESP” mode, the TCS portion of ESP has been disabled, the thresholds for ESP activation are

158 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

raised, and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will be illu- minated. This mode is intended to be used for a more spirited driving experience, or if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand, or gravel conditions and more wheel spin that ESP would normally allow is required.

To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP OFF” button.

WARNING!

In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable.

NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial ESP” mode by pressing the “ESP OFF” button. Once the

situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial ESP” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momen- tarily depressing the “ESP OFF” button. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. ESP/BAS Warning Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should both go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warn- ing Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.

NOTE: † The “ESP Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS Warning Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. † Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System † The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESP activation.

will be ON even if it was turned off previously.

ADJUSTABLE PEDALS — IF EQUIPPED This feature allows both the brake and accelerator pedals to move toward or away from the driver to provide improved position with the steering wheel. The adjust- able pedal system is designed to allow a greater range of driver comfort for steering wheel tilt and seat position. The switch is located on the drivers door trim panel next to the power seat switches.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 159

ADJUSTABLE PEDAL SWITCH

Press the switch forward to move the pedals forward (toward the front of the vehicle). Press the switch rearward to move the pedals rearward (toward the driver). † The pedals can be adjusted with the ignition OFF.

160 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

† The pedals can be adjusted while driving. † The pedals cannot be adjusted when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or when the Speed Control is ON. A message will be displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) if the pedals are attempted to be ad- justed when the system is locked out (“Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Cruise Control Engaged” or “Ad- justable Pedal Disabled — Vehicle In Reverse”).

If your vehicle is equipped with memory seat NOTE: feature, your remote keyless entry transmitter or memory seat buttons on the driver’s door panel can be used to recall the adjustable pedals to saved positions.

CAUTION!

Do not place any article under the adjustable pedals or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the pedal controls. Pedal travel may become lim- ited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the adjustable pedal’s path.

REAR PARK SENSE SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Rear Park Assist System provides visual and audible indications of the distance between the rear fascia and the detected obstacle when backing up. When backing up the driver should also use the inside rearview and outside mirrors. The Rear Park Assist System will remember the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the RUN/ON position.

The Rear Park Assist System can be active only when the transaxle shift lever is in R (Reverse). If the Rear Park Assist System is enabled at this shift position, the system will be active until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system will be active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h). Rear Park Assist Sensors The four Rear Park Assist Sensors, located in the rear fascia, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The monitored area seems oval in shape. The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi- mately 11.8 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches (150 cm) from the rear fascia in the horizontal direction, depending on the location and orientation of the obstacle and the type of obstacle.

WARNING!

† Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Rear Park Sense System. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You are respon- sible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. † Before using the Rear Park Sense System, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be 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 display turns the red LEDs ON. Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

CAUTION!

† To avoid vehicle damage the Rear Park Sense System should only be used as a parking aid and is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small objects. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity to the rear of the vehicle. † To avoid vehicle damage the vehicle must be driven slowly when using the Rear Park Sense System to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver look over his/her shoulder when using the Rear Park Sense System.

NOTE: † Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris † Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could

Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the ve- hicle † In an accident, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured too. † Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow fingers or other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 171

Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window. Sunroof Comfort Position — If Equipped If equipped, some model sunroofs will stop at a prede- termined comfort position — not allowing the sunroof to open to the full retracted glass position. The comfort position stops the sunroof glass at approximately 3/4
open position. This will allow for minimal wind buffet- ing.

172 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Sunroof Maintenance Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS There are two 12 volt power outlets located on the instrument panel below the radio. The driver’s side outlet is controlled by the ignition switch and the passenger side outlet is connected directly to the battery. The driver’s side outlet will also operate a conventional cigar lighter unit (if equipped with an optional Smoker’s Package).

Front Power Outlets

A third outlet is located on the back of the front center console near the floor, and is also controlled by the ignition switch. A fourth outlet is located on the driver’s side, in the rear cargo area and is also controlled by the ignition switch.

The outlets include tethered caps labeled with a key or battery symbol indicating the power source. The passen- ger side instrument panel and center console outlets are powered directly from the battery, items plugged into these outlets may discharge the battery and/or prevent engine starting. The passenger side and center console outlets are pro- tected by an automatic reset circuit breaker. The auto- matic circuit breaker restores power when the overload is removed. If desired, the fourth power outlet in the rear NOTE: cargo area can be converted by your authorized dealer to provide power with the ignition switch in the OFF position.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 173

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off

CAUTION!

† Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi- ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting. † Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution. † After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accesso- ries still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery. † Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage.

The liftgate may be opened or closed with the cargo cover in place. Cargo Tie-Down Hooks The tie-downs located on cargo area floor and on the rear trim panels should be used to safely secure loads when vehicle is moving.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 177

WARNING!

† Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or collision a hook could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child seat tethers. † 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.

178 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

† 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.

WARNING!

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.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry the weight on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.

Roof Rack

Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars. The roof rack does not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. To move the cross bars, press the upper edge of each cross bar button, then move the cross bar to the desired position, keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame. This is can be done with one person standing on each side of the vehicle, moving the cross bar at the same time. Once the cross bar is in place, press the lower edge of the cross bar button to lock it into position.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 179

Attempt to move the crossbar again to ensure that it has properly locked into position. NOTE: To reduce the amount of wind noise when the cross bars are not in use, move both cross bars next to each other towards the rear of the vehicle in the rear most position. The tie down holes on the cross bar ends should always be used to tie down the load. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached.

180 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!

WARNING!

† Crossbars should remain equally spaced or parallel at any luggage rack position for proper function. Noncompliance could result in damage to the lug- gage rack, cargo and/or vehicle. † To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. † Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. † Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift to loads. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

Cargo must be securely tied before driving your ve- hicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal in- jury or property damage. Follow the Roof Rack Cau- tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM 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.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”, pull over in a safe area as soon as possible and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi- tioner 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.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Voltage Light

This light monitors the electrical system voltage. The light should turn on momentarily as the engine is started. If the light stays on or turns on while driving, it indicates a problem with the charging system. Immediate service should be obtained. 2. 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, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.

188 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. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see Section 7 of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.

3. Fuel Gauge The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

The Low Fuel Light will turn on when the fuel level reaches approximately 2 to 4 gallons (7 to 15 liters) this light will remain on until fuel is added.

4. Turn Signal Indicators

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

If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has traveled about one mile with the turn signals on, a chime will sound to alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. 5. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 6. Anti-Lock Brake Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. 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, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system

is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional 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. 7. 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, there is a low brake fluid level or there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189

indicated by the Brake Warning Light which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers which change fluid level condi- tions. The vehicle should have service performed. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary.

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.

190 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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

8. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light

If this indicator light flashes during accelera- tion, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road con-

ditions, and do not switch off the ESP, or TCS. NOTE: Extended heavy use of Traction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the Traction Control Light. This is to prevent overheating of the brake system and is a normal condition. The system will remain disabled for about 4 minutes until the brakes have cooled. The system will automatically reactivate and turn off the Traction Control Light.

9. Tachometer The red segments indicate the maximum permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm. x 1000) for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator. 10.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 191

13. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during 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. The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage. To switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and release the Trip Odometer button. To reset a trip odom- eter, display the desired trip odometer to be reset then push and hold the button until the display resets (ap- proximately 2 seconds).

15. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light will illu- minate when the key is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 193

Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. The Malfunction Indicator Light flashes to alert you to serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. 16. High Beam Light

This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the Multi-Function lever towards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or low beam.

194 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

17. Navigation Screen/Rear View Camera — If Equipped The navigation system provides maps, turn identifica- tion, selection menus and instructions for selecting a variety of destinations and routes. Refer to your “Navi- gation User’s Manual” for detailed operating instruc- tions. The Rear View Camera system uses the Navigator Screen to display the area behind the vehicle. Camera view will display only while the vehicle is in R (Reverse). 18. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped

This light shows the front fog lights are ON.

19. Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light shows low engine oil pressure. The light should turn on momentarily when the engine is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the

vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A continuous chime will sound when this light turns on. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This light does not show how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the hood. 20. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this light will turn on for 5 to 8 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to 9Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Re- minder System (BeltAlert™)9 in the Occupant Restraints section for more information.

21. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. Ac- cordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over- heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 195

reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. NOTE: Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsi- bility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underin- flation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse- quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or

196 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. NOTE: Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels (the spare is not moni- tored or equipped with a sensor). TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

For additional information on TPMS, refer to Section 5 — Starting and Operating, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys- tem” of this manual.

For additional information on Tire Pressures, refer to Section 5 — Starting and Operating, “Tire Inflation Pressures” of this manual. 22. Airbag Light

This light turns on and remains on for 6 to 8
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 23. Electronic Vehicle Information Center Display — If Equipped When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages. 24. Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. If this light is accompanied by a continuous

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 197

chime, the engine temperature is critically hot, and the vehicle should be turned off immediately. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. 25. Liftgate Ajar — If Equipped

This light turns on if the liftgate is not com- pletely closed.

26. Door Ajar Light — If Equipped

This light turns on if a door is not completely closed.

27. Washer Fluid Light — If Equipped

198 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

28. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warning Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light — If Equipped

The malfunction lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your autho- rized dealer as soon as possible. 29. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC.) Light

This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If a prob- lem is detected the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when

the vehicle has completely stopped and the gear selector is placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is re- quired and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 30. All-Wheel-Drive Failure Indicator Light — If AWD equipped

you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals. Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound. Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal.

AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs. FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio. NOTE: The radio, steering wheel radio controls (if equipped), and 6 disc CD/DVD changer (if equipped) will remain active for up to 90 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned off, depending upon the acces- sory delay setting. Opening a vehicle front door will cancel this feature.
