Programming HomeLink The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea- tures a driver–interactive display which includes HomeLink system messages. The EVIC display is located in the overhead console. NOTE: When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside the garage. It is also recom- mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmis- sion of the radio-frequency signal. 1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, and the EVIC will display “CLEARING CHANNELS”, do not release the buttons until “CHANNELS CLEARED” is displayed on the EVIC (after approximately 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and


do not repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink buttons.


2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3
inches (3-8 cm) away from the HomeLink buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view.


3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink button that you want to train and the hand-held trans- mitter button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. The EVIC will display “CHANNEL X TRAINING”, once the transmitter is programmed the EVIC will display “CHANNEL X TRAINED”. X refers to the desired channel being trained (1,2 or 3). NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in the ⬙Gate Operator/Canadian Pro- gramming⬙ section. 4. Once “CHANNEL X TRAINED” is displayed on the EVIC, release both buttons. Programming is now com- plete. When the HomeLink button is subsequently pressed, “CHANNEL X TRANSMIT” is displayed on the screen and your device should be activated, (garage door should open).


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 163


NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink but- tons, begin with ⬙Programming⬙ step two. Do not repeat step one.


If the EVIC display shows “CHANNEL X TR- NOTE: ASMIT” (where X is channel 1,2 or 3) but your device does not activate, the device may be equipped with a “rolling code” system. Continue with the following steps five through seven to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener manufactured after 1995). The assistance of a second person may make the following programming steps quicker and easier. 5. Programming a Rolling Code System At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the ⬙learn⬙ or ⬙smart⬙ button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.


164 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


6. Firmly press and release the ⬙learn⬙ or ⬙smart⬙ button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manu- facturer.) NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight. 7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the ⴖpress/hold/releaseⴖ sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. HomeLink should now activate your equipped device. NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink but- tons, begin with ⬙Programming⬙ step two. Do not repeat step one. For questions or comments, please contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.


rolling code


Canadian Programming/Gate 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 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. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the ⬙Program- ming⬙ procedures (regardless of where you live), replace ⴖProgramming HomeLinkⴖ step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release every two seconds (⬙cycle⬙) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by HomeLink. (The EVIC will display “CHANNEL X TRAINING” and then “CHAN- NEL X TRAINED”.) Proceed with ⬙Programming⬙ step four to complete.


If programming a garage door opener or gate NOTE: operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the ⬙cycling⬙ process to prevent possible overheating. Using HomeLink To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink 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.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355- 3515.

WARNING!


Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.


WARNING!


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 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 169


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).


170 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


115V Inverter Outlet – If Equipped This vehicle may also be equipped with a 115 Volt (150
Watts Maximum) outlet on the rear of the front center console. These outlets can power cell phones, electronics and other low power devices. This plug is controlled by a switch located in left lower instrument panel.


NOTE: Due to build in overload protection the inverter will shut down if the power rating is exceeded.


WARNING!


To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: • Do not use a 3 — Prong Adaptor. • Do not insert any objects into the receptacles. • Do not touch with wet hands. • Close the lid when not in use. • If this outlet is mishandled it may cause an


electric shock and failure.


115 V Inverter Switch


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 171


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 sufficiently 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.

Rear Floor Console


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. 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.


176 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


NOTE: Crossbars are offered by Mopar威 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.


CAUTION!


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.


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.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION


1. Fuel Gage


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


2. Temperature Gage


The temperature gage indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operat- ing satisfactorily. The gage needle in V6 and V8 engines will likely indicate a high 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) increase engine speed for 2-3 minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, seek authorized service immedi- ately.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 185


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 gage 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. These indicators also indicate proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. If either indicator flashes at a faster rate than normal, check for a defective bulb. If either indicator fails to light up when the lever is moved, check for a defective fuse or turn signal LED. A single chime is activated when the


186 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


left/right turn signal is left on with the engine RPM vehicle speed greater than 15 mph (24 km/h) for more than one mile. 4. Low Fuel Warning Light


This indicator lights when the fuel gauge reads 1/8
of a tank or less.


5. High Beam Indicator


Indicates that headlights are on high beam.


6. Seat Belt Reminder Light


This light comes on for several seconds after the ignition is turned ON as a reminder to “buckle up.” This light will remain on as long as the seat belt remains unbuckled. If this light flashes, it indicates a fault in the airbag system. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.


7. Fog Light Indicator


This light shows when the fog lights are ON.


8. Coolant Temperature Light


This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. For a bulb check, this light will come on momentarily when the ignition is turned On. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle, shift into N (Neutral) and increase the engine speed for 2 to 3
minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, seek authorized service immediately.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 187


CAUTION!


WARNING!


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 if the light remains on, 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, see Section 7 of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.


9. Speedometer Shows the vehicles speed. 10. 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.


188 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


11. Security Light This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle theft 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 on. 12. ABS Warning Light


This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System which is described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and may stay on for approximately 3 seconds. If this light remains on or comes on during driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. See your authorized dealer immedi- ately. With the ABS malfunctioning, the BAS and ESP are also switched off. Both malfunction indicator lights illu- minate with the engine running. If the charging voltage falls below 10 volts, the malfunction indicator light


illuminates and the ABS is switched off. When the voltage is above this value again, the malfunction indi- cator light should go out and the ABS is operational. If the malfunction indicator light stays illuminated, have the system checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. 13. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Light


This light indicates that the engine oil pressure has become too low. For a bulb check, this light will come on momentarily when the ignition is turned On. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. Immediate service should be obtained. 14. Tachometer This gauge measures engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm x 1000).


15. Gear Selector The electronic gear selector display is self-contained within the instrument cluster.

The outside temperature will display in the odometer for non-Electronic Vehicle (EVIC) equipped vehicles. Pressing the trip odometer reset but- ton toggles the feature back to the odometer. If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec- NOTE: tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), all warnings including door ajar, liftgate open, low washer fluid, will only be displayed in the EVIC display. For additional information, refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen- ter — If Equipped” in Section 3. 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


190 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. 18. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light The yellow ESP indicator light in the speedom- eter area illuminates with the key in the igni- tion switch turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the engine running. The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ 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. The “ESP/ TCS Indicator Light” becomes illuminated when the ESP-Off button has been pressed or ESP is only partially available caused by lack of engine management or brake thermal model.


19. 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. 20. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)


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


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. 21. BRAKE System Warning Light The red “BRAKE” warning light will come on when the ignition key is first turned on, and stay on briefly as a bulb check. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the bulb repaired promptly. If the light stays on, it may be an indication that the parking brake has not been released, or there is a low brake fluid level. 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 a problem with the Brake Booster. 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.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 191


If the parking brake is applied, the light will flash when the gear position is out of park for automatic transmis- sions. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary. Operating the vehicle in this condition is danger- ous!


22. ESP/BAS Warning Lamp


The malfunction lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS. 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 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


192 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible. NOTE: • ⬙The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ and the ⬙ESP/ BAS Warning Lamp⬙ come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is actively operating. 23. Malfunction Indicator Light


This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions and engine control system. If the vehicle is ready for emissions testing the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on 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 on and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for 10
seconds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the condi- tion 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 your 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 driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.


24. 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 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


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 193


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 maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will illumi- nate in the instrument cluster, and an audible chime will be activated when one or more tire pressures is low. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will flash on and off for 60 seconds when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is removed and reset.


194 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS


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 op- eration or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market 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.


25. Airbag Indicator


The indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to 8
seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. If the light does not come on when the ignition is


first turned on, or the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the airbag system checked by an autho- rized dealer. 26. 4WD Indicator Indicates when transfer case is in 4WD position. 27. SVC (Service) 4WD Indicator The SVC 4WD lights will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and will stay on for 2
seconds. If the light stays on or comes on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly and that service is required. 28. Cruise Light (Speed Control) This indicator lights when the electronic speed control system is turned on.


29. 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. 30. 4LOW Indicator Indicates transfer case is in 4LOW position. 31. Odometer/Trip Odometer Button Press this button to toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the trip odometer reading.


ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio model) whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.


INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 195


When the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keep- ing is accurately maintained. On the AM/FM/CD (6-disc) radio the time button alter- nates the location of the time and frequency on the display.

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. 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.

Supported Medium Formats (File Systems) The medium formats supported by the radio are ISO 9660
Level 1 and Level 2 and includes the Joliet extension. When reading discs recorded using formats other than ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2, the radio may fail to read files properly and may be unable to play the file nor- mally. UDF and Apple HFS formats are not supported. The radio uses the following limits for file systems: • Maximum number of directory levels: 15


• Maximum number of files: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 100
• Maximum number of characters in file/folder names: • Level 1: 12 (including a separator ⬙.⬙ and a • Level 2: 31 (including a separator

Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio. Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3 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 playback may result in longer disc loading times.


Supported MP3 File Formats The radio will recognize only files with the *.mp3 exten- sion as MP3 files. Non-MP3 files named with the *.mp3
extension may cause playback problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file as an invalid MP3 and will not play the file. When using the MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 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 files use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.
