RESET Button UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 121 Global Reset If the RESET button and STEP button are pressed at the same time and held for 3 seconds the Global Reset feature will reset the distance to empty (using a default fuel economy value), trip odometer, and elapsed time displays. fuel economy, Use this button to reset the following displays to zero: Average Fuel Economy Trip Odometer Elapsed time. 122 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Step Button Use this button to choose or cycle through the four trip conditions. 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 = 0, 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 approximately 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. Elapsed Time (ET) This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last reset. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 123 C/T Button Use this button to select a readout of the outside tem- perature and one of eight compass headings that indicate the direction in which the vehicle is facing. 124 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 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° 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. 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 on the ignition 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 125 126 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 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. Outside Temperature Because the ambient temperature sensor is located un- derhood, 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.

Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death. 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. 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 Maintenance Use only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel. ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS This vehicle has three auxiliary power outlets that can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories de- signed for use with the standard power outlet adapters. The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument panel has a snap on a plastic cap so that it can be covered when not in use. As a safety precaution, the outlet in the instrument panel only operates with the ignition switch ON. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 135 used, it heats when pushed in and pops out automati- cally when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position. There are two additional 12 V/(20 total Amps for both outlets) power outlets, one located in the storage bin of the center console and another located in the right rear cargo area. These outlets can be reconfigured by the customer to operate only when the ignition is ON (switched battery fed) or with the ignition ON or OFF (battery fed) to allow for cellular telephone charging and or operation while the ignition is off. 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). 136 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 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. Only use these intermit- tently and with greater caution. † After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery. Reconfiguring Power Outlets To reconfigure the outlets, be sure the ignition is OFF before removing the fuse. The reconfigurable fuse loca- tion is a special design that allows the fuse to be installed in two different ways. If the fuse is located in the 9Upper or Top Position9 the outlets will work at all times. If the fuse is located in the 9Lower or Bottom Position9 the power outlets will only work when the ignition is ON. NOTE: The fuse block is located in the left side kick panel behind a removable cover near the park brake pedal.

FACTORY INSTALLED ROOF LUGGAGE RACK— IF EQUIPPED UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 139 The side rails between the stantions should be used to tie down cargo. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached. NOTE: Crossbars are offered by Mopart accessories. External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. The load carried on the roof when equipped with a luggage rack must not exceed 68 kg (150 lbs.), and should be uniformly distributed over the cargo area. 140 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! WARNING! Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack. To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity. 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, should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. Place a blanket or other protection between the surface of the roof and the load. 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 loads. This is espe- cially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

RADIO RECEPTION INFORMATION AM Reception AM radio signals usually travel longer distances than FM signals, especially at night. These longer distance AM signals can cause AM stations to interfere with one another. Noise from storms and power lines can also interfere with AM reception. Reducing the treble can reduce some of the noise. FM Reception FM Stereo signals produce better sound quality than AM signals. However, FM signals will only travel approxi- mately 10 to 40 miles (16 to 64 km). Tall structures or hills can cause interference with FM signals causing the sound to cut out.
