WARNING!


Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust the seat only while the vehicle is parked.


CAUTION!


Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.


Manual Front Seatback Recline To recline: 1. Lean forward in the seat and lift the handle, then lean back to the desired position and release the handle.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 121
2. Lift the handle to return the seatback to an upright position.


WARNING!


Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

WARNING!


Driving a vehicle with the head restraints removed or improperly adjusted could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision. The head restraints should always be checked prior to operating the vehicle and never adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Always adjust the head restraints when the vehicle is in PARK.


Heated Seats The driver seat and front passenger seat are heated. The heaters provide the same heat level for both cushion and seatback. The controls for each heater are located near the bottom center of the instrument panel.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 123


Heated Seat Switch


After placing the ignition in the ON position, you can choose from High, Low or Off heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for High, one for Low and none for Off.


124 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


Press the switch once to select High-level heat- ing. Press the switch a second time to select Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time to shut the heating elements Off.


If high level heating is selected, the system will automati- cally switch to the low level after 30 minutes of continu- ous operation. At that time, the number of indicators illuminated changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation on the low setting also turns off automatically after 30 minutes. NOTE: Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.


WARNING!


• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex- haustion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time. • Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.


CAUTION!

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 up to 20 seconds. The EVIC will display “CLEARING CHANNELS.” Release the buttons when the EVIC mes- sage states “CHANNELS CLEARED.” It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the handheld transmitter of the device that is being copied 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. Place the ignition in the RUN position.


144 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 2. Place the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 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 handheld transmitter button until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” Then release both the HomeLink威 and handheld 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 handheld transmitter. It may take up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open and 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. 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.” 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 and close the door).

1. Fuel Gauge The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. 2. Trip Odometer Button Press this button to change the display from odometer to either of two trip odometer settings. The letter “A” or “B” will appear when in the trip odometer mode. Push in and hold the button for two seconds to reset the trip odometer to 0 miles (km). The odometer must be in TRIP mode to reset it. 3. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 4. Electronic Speed Control Indicator Light


This light will turn on when the electronic speed control is on.


5. Tachometer The red segments indicate the maximum permissible engine revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000) for each gear range. Ease up on the accelerator before reaching the red area. 6. Charging System Warning Light


This light shows the status of the electrical charg- ing system. The light should turn on when the ignition switch is first placed in ON/RUN and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light stays on or turns on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-essential electrical devices (i.e., radio) or slightly increase engine speed (if at idle). If the light remains on, it means that the charging system is experiencing a problem. See your local authorized dealer to obtain service immediately. If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies”.


7. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light


This light will turn on briefly as a bulb check when the ignition switch is placed in ON/ RUN. This light will also turn on while the engine is running if there is a problem with the


Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If the light comes on while the engine is running, safely bring the vehicle to a complete stop as soon as possible, place the shift lever in PARK, and cycle the ignition key. The light should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 165
If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required. In this case, you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall, and your vehicle may require towing. Also, have the system checked by an authorized dealer if the light does not come on during starting. 8. 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.

CAUTION!


WARNING!


Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads 240°F (116°C) or greater, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range 200– 230°F (93–110°C). If the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear a chime, turn the engine OFF immediately and call for service.


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, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle” and follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.


9. 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. • Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if either


indicator flashes at a rapid rate.


10. Airbag Warning Light


This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position. If the light is either not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, then have the system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information. 11. 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


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 167
is critically hot. The vehicle should be turned OFF immediately and serviced as soon as possible. 12. Electronic Stability Program (ESP)


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 Electronic Stability Program (ESP). 13. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light / Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light


The malfunction light for the Electronic Stabil- ity Program (ESP) is combined with Brake Assist System (BAS). The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Light” comes on when the ignition switch is placed in the ON/RUN position. They should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warn- ing Light” comes on continuously with the engine run- ning, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or
