WARNING!

Leaving the Electronic Speed Control ON when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the Electronic Speed Control to cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an acci- dent. Always leave the system OFF when you are not using it.

To Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, push and release the RESUME button. Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).

146 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To Vary The Speed Setting When the Electronic Speed Control System is ON, the speed can be increased by pressing and holding the RESUME/ACCEL button. When the button is released, a new set speed will be established. Tapping the ACCEL button once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 mph (2 km/h). Tapping the DECEL button once will result in a speed decrease of 1 mph (2 km/h). Each time the button is tapped, speed will decrease. For example, tapping the button three times will decrease the speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h). Tapping the DECEL button once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph (2 km/h).

To Accelerate For Passing Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. NOTE: When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000 ft (610 m), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded (especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the SET speed. If the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40 km/h), the Electronic Speed Control will automatically disengage. If this happens, you can push down on the accelerator pedal to maintain the desired speed. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may exhibit several downshifts under the above conditions. To reduce the frequency of the downshifts and to im- prove vehicle performance, it is advisable to lock out OVERDRIVE by pressing the TOW/HAUL button lo- cated at the end of the shift lever.

WARNING!

Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve- hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE The overhead console has the following features:

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 149

STEP Button Use the STEP button to choose, or cycle through, the four trip conditions.

RESET Button

STEP Button

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) Displays the average fuel economy since the last reset. Average fuel economy is a running average of the

150 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE amount of fuel used and the distance the vehicle has traveled. When the fuel economy is reset, the display will momentarily blank, the history will be erased, and the AVERAGE WILL CONTINUE FROM WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE RESET. The reset value is based on a minimal amount of fuel used and the distance traveled from the previous drive cycle. The display may take several miles/kilometers for this value to change, de- pending upon driving habits. Distance To Empty (DTE) Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled 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. NOTE: The DTE is not resettable. 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 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. NOTE: 6000 miles (9656 km). Resetting of this screen will cause the trip odometer to change to zero. Then the trip odometer must be reset in order to update the trip odometer miles.

The maximum value

is

Elapsed Time (ET) This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last reset. Resetting the Elapsed Time will cause the display to change to zero. C/T Button Use the C/T (Compass/Temperature) button to select a readout of the outside temperature and one of eight compass headings that indicate the direction in which the vehicle is facing.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 151

C/T Button

The system will display the last known outside tempera- ture when starting the vehicle and may need to be driven several minutes before the updated temperature is dis- played. Engine temperature can also affect the displayed temperature, therefore temperature readings are not up- dated when the vehicle is not moving.

152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Global Reset If the RESET button is pressed twice within two seconds while in any of the three resettable displays (AVG ECO, ODO, ET), the GLOBAL RESET will reset all three displays. Compass/Temperature Display

WARNING!

Even if the display still reads a few degrees above 32° F (0° C), the road surface may be icy, particularly in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such conditions to prevent an accident and possible per- sonal injury or property damage.

Automatic Compass Calibration This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL symbol will be displayed. After completing one 360 degree turn with the vehicle traveling less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free from large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the Overhead Console. This is where the compass sensor is located. Manual Compass Calibration

NOTE: To ensure proper compass calibration, make sure the compass variance is properly set before manu- ally calibrating the compass.

If the compass appears erratic and the CAL symbol does not appear, you must manually put the compass into the “Calibration” mode. To Put Into A Calibration Mode Turn the ignition ON and set the display to “Compass/ Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button to change the display between VAR (compass variance) and CAL (compass calibration) modes. When the CAL sym- bol is displayed, complete one 360 degree turn in an area free from large metal objects or power lines. The CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic North and geographic North. In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic North is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according to the Compass Variance Map.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 153

Compass Variance Map

To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON and set the display to “Compass/Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button approximately five seconds. The last vari- ance zone number will be displayed. Press the STEP button to select the new variance zone and press the RESET button to resume normal operation.

154 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Outside Temperature Because the ambient temperature sensor is located under the hood, engine temperature can influence the displayed temperature; therefore, temperature readings are slowly updated when the vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30 km/h) or during stop-and-go driving.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED HomeLink威 replaces up to three remote controls (hand- held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink威 unit operates off of your vehi- cle’s battery. The HomeLink威 buttons are located in the overhead console, and contain one, two or three dots/lines desig- nating the different HomeLink威 channels.

HomeLink Buttons

NOTE: HomeLink威 is disabled when the Vehicle Theft Alarm is active.

WARNING!

• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people, pets or other objects are in the path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by federal safety standards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for safety infor- mation or assistance. • Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dan- gerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious injury or death.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 155

Programming HomeLink姞

Before You Begin The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) illuminates the HomeLink威 symbol (a house with an arrow inside it) along with 1, 2 or 3 indicators under it, when a HomeLink威 button is pressed. Pay attention to the indicator(s), as they will flash at different rates, or remain solid during training. 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. Release the buttons when the indicators start to flash. It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the handheld transmitter of the device being copied to HomeLink威 for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

156 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. • Place the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLink威 buttons while keeping the HomeLink威 display in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the handheld transmitter away from the HomeLink威. • Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLink威button and the handheld transmitter but- ton until the indicator(s) change from a slow to a rapid flash rate. Then release both the HomeLink威 and handheld trans- mitter buttons.

It may take up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open and close while you train.

If the signal is too weak to train, replace the battery in the handheld transmitter. 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. • Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink威 button. If the indicator(s) blink rapidly for two seconds and then remains constant, continue with the next section: “Pro- gramming A Rolling Code System”.

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. Firmly press and release the LEARN or TRAINING button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has been pressed. 2. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink威 button twice (holding the button for two seconds 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 two 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.

158 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 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. 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 (“cycle”), your handheld transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink威 has

successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indica- tor(s) will change from a slow flash to a rapid flash when trained. If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under, “Programming HomeLink威,” earlier in this section. Using HomeLink姞 To operate, press 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 handheld transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Reprogramming A Single HomeLink姞 Button To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps:

and release

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink威 button for 20 seconds until the indicator(s) starts to flash. Do not release the button. 3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program- ming HomeLink威, Step #2, and follow all remaining steps. Security It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in your vehicle. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20 seconds until the indicators begin to flash. Note that all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased. The HomeLink威 Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Theft Alarm is active.

6. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned to ON/ RUN, this light will turn on for four to eight 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 “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information. 7. Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap- proaches H (Hot), this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound after reaching a set

threshold. Further overheating will cause the tempera- ture gauge to pass H (Hot), the indicator will continu- ously flash and a continuous chime will occur until the engine is allowed to cool.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature light is on, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle in neutral with the air conditioner turned off until the light turns off. If the light remains on, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.

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 “Maintaining Your Vehicle”. Fol- low the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.

8. Speedometer The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed. 9. Charging System Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charg- ing system. The light should come on when the ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-essential electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at idle). If

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 181
the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho- rized dealer. If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies”. 10. Vehicle Security Light

The vehicle security light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security alarm is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is set. The security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is first turned to ON/RUN. 11. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will illuminate when the igni- tion switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.

182 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 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 illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. 12. Oil Pressure Warning Light

The Oil Pressure Warning Light illuminates when the engine oil pressure has become too low. For a bulb check, this light will come on momentarily when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. Immediate service should be obtained.

13. Tachometer The tachometer gauge measures engine revolutions-per- minute (RPM x 1000). 14. Shift Lever Indicator The electronic shift lever indicator is self-contained within the instrument cluster. It displays the position of the automatic transmission shift lever, and the relation of each position to all other positions. The display will place a box around the selected transmission range (PRND21). If the PRNDL displays only the characters PRND21 (no boxes), have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 15.

Refer to Overhead Con- sole with Compass/Temperature Mini-Trip Computer in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” for fur- ther information.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 183

gASCAP If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display in the odometer display area. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the TRIP ODOMETER button to turn off the message. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. LoW tirE When the appropriate condition exists, the odometer display will toggle between LoW and tirE for three cycles. noFUSE If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is improperly installed, or

184 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL damaged, a “noFUSE” message will display in the odom- eter display area. For further information on fuses and fuse locations refer to “Fuses” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”. CHAngE OIL Message 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/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument

cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN 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 OFF/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. 16. Odometer Display The odometer display shows the total distance the ve- hicle 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. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/ service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero. 17. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped

The fog light indicator illuminates when the front fog lights are on.

18. Transmission Temperature Warning Light

This light indicates that there is excessive trans- mission fluid temperature, that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 185
light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light goes off.

CAUTION!

Continuous driving with the Transmission Tempera- ture Warning Light illuminated will eventually cause severe transmission damage or transmission failure.

WARNING!

If the Transmission Temperature Warning Light is illuminated and you continue operating the vehicle, in some circumstances you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.

186 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 19. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) – If Equipped

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) light informs you of a problem with the ETC system. If a problem 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 an authorized 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 to ON/RUN and remain on for 15 seconds as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

20. Brake 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 reservoir. If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Program (ESP) sys- tem. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is 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, and the brake fluid level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 187

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (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. Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for ap- proximately 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.

188 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi- tion. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 21. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD II) that monitors the emissions and engine control sys- tem. If the vehicle is ready for emissions testing, the light will come on when the ignition is first turned to ON/ RUN and remain on, as a bulb check, until the engine is started. If the vehicle is not ready for emissions testing, the light will come on when the ignition is first turned to ON/RUN and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for 5 seconds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the condition investigated promptly.

If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it suggests a potential engine control problem and the need for system service. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher temperatures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.

22. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

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

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189
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 is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi- nates, 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 overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to

190 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation 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 not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator 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 alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. 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. 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 tire sealant from a can or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

23. 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 ON/RUN. 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. 24. 4WD Indicator

This light indicates the vehicle is in four-wheel drive and 4LOCK. 4WD allows all four wheels to receive torque from the engine simultane- ously.

25. SVC (Service) 4WD Indicator The SVC 4WD illuminates when the ignition key is turned to the ON/RUN position and will stay on for two

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 191
seconds. If the light stays on or illuminates during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly and that service is required. 26. Cruise Indicator The cruise indicator illuminates when the electronic speed control system is turned on. 27. Cargo Lamp

The Cargo Lamp indicator will illuminate when the Cargo Lamp is activated by pressing the CARGO button, located on the headlight switch. 28. TOW/HAUL The TOW/HAUL button is located at the end of the gear shift lever. This light will illuminate when the TOW/ HAUL button has been selected.

192 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 29. 4WD LOW Indicator

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked to- gether forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Low range provides a greater gear reduction ratio to provide increased torque at the wheels. 30. Odometer/Trip Odometer Button Press the ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER button to toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer display. Holding the button in, resets the trip odometer reading.

Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio. Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3/ WMA files). Discs created with an option such as ⬙keep disc open after writing⬙ are most likely multisession discs. The use of multisession for CD audio or MP3/ WMA playback may result in longer disc loading times.

204 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL If a disc contains multi-formats, such as CD audio and MP3/WMA tracks, the radio will only play the MP3/ WMA tracks on that disc. Supported MP3/WMA File Formats The radio will recognize only files with the *.MP3/WMA extension as MP3/WMA files. Non-MP3/WMA files named with the *.MP3/WMA extension may cause play- back problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file as an invalid MP3/WMA and will not play the file. When using the MP3/WMA encoder to compress audio data to an MP3/WMA file, the bit rate and sampling frequencies in the following table are supported. In addition, variable bit rates (VBR) are also supported. The majority of MP3/WMA files use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.

Playback of MP3/WMA Files When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the radio checks all files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or files, the radio will take more time to start playing the MP3/WMA files. Loading times for playback of MP3/WMA files may be affected by the following: • Media - CD-RW media may take longer to load than • Medium formats - Multisession discs may take longer • Number of files and folders - Loading times will
