Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. This display mode becomes less sensitive to instantaneous changes in fuel consumption as the number of total vehicle miles since the last reset increases. It is suggested that this mode be reset periodically for general operation or when driving conditions change significantly (for example, at the end of a trip or when a trailer is connected or disconnected). Distance To Empty (DTE) Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank. The estimated distance is determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. When Distance To Empty = LOW FUEL, the fuel gauge pointer will initially be on the red “E” marker. At this point (fuel gauge pointer on the the red “E” marker) there

is reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approxi- mately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions in areas where there aren’t many gas stations. NOTE: The Distance To Empty will remain equal to zero, until the vehicle runs out of fuel or is refueled. Trip Odometer (ODO) This display shows the distance traveled since the last reset.

The outlets are located in the instrument panel, below the temperature control setting knob, and the other inside the full - size center console. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is used, it heats when pushed in and pops out automatically when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position. The instrument panel outlet can be reconfigured by the customer to operate only when the ignition is On (switch battery fed) or with the ignition switch On/Off (battery fed) to allow for cellular phone charging and/or opera- tion while the ignition is Off. This can be done by moving the power outlet (switchable) fuse (fuse #22) from the inboard position to the outboard position.

120 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE: All accessories connected to these outlets should be removed or turned OFF when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge (unless the cus- tomer has reconfigured the fuse block to switched battery feed).

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine OFF (Battery Fed Configuration)

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 discharge the battery even more quickly. Use these only intermit- tently and with greater caution. • After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces- sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position.

2. Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operat- ing satisfactorily. The gauge needle will likely indicate a higher temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the needle rises to the “H” mark, stop the vehicle, shift into N (Neutral), and increase engine speed for 2-3 minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, seek authorized service immediately.

CAUTION!

Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running as you would not be able to react to the temperature indicator if the engine overheats.

The gauge pointer will remain near its last reading when the engine is turned off. It will return to a true reading when the engine is restarted. 3. Turn Signal Indicators is activated, a right-pointing or When a turn signal left-pointing arrow lights up and flashes to indicate the direction of the turn.

If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. 17. 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. There- fore, 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.

18. Transmission Temperature Indicator

This light indicates that there is excessive trans- mission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEU- TRAL until the light goes off. 19. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) – If Equipped

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. 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 required 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

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Broadcast Signals Your new radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op- eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help 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.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 145

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 10 minutes after the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening a vehicle front door will cancel this feature.
