Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling your vehicle. Otherwise, the display will not show the addition of fuel for a few miles. At least 9.5 liters (2.5 gallons) of fuel must be added for the fuel gauge to immediately show the new fuel level. The DTE function will flash for 5 seconds and sound a tone for 1 second when you have approximately: • 80 km (50 miles) left before you run out of fuel • 40 km (25 miles) • 16 km (10 miles) The message center will remain in the DTE function until the SELECT control is pressed to change functions. Displayed DTE will not be equal to AVG ECON multiplied by the FUEL REMAIN value. DTE is calculated using a method that considers the fuel economy of the last 800 km (500 miles) driven. If “CO” or “CS” is displayed, there is a problem with the fuel indication system and you should contact your dealer for service as soon as possible. AVGECON(averagefueleconomy) Select this function to display your average fuel economy in liters/100

Under normal conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet duct. • MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier than NORM A/C but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. • NORM A/C-Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It is quieter than MAX A/C but not as economical. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. • VENT-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers.

However, the air will not be cooled below the outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode. • OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short

However, the air will not be cooled below the outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode.

• MIX-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. For added customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts. If the temperature is about 10°C (50°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to prevent fogging.

• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air conditioner as you would normally. • When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.

HOMELINKT UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER (IF EQUIPPED) The HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter, located underneath the driver’s visor, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors and gates, and can also control home or office lighting and security systems (with the available accessory package).

39

Controls and features

When programming your HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter, you will be operating the garage door or gate. Be sure that people and objects are out to the way to prevent potential harm or damage.

Do not use the HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call toll-free: 1–800–355–3515.

Programming 1. Prepare for programming the HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter by erasing all three of the factory default channels by holding down the two outside controls until the red light begins to flash (20-30
seconds). Release both controls. 2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in view. 3. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter control and the desired channel control on the HomeLinkt Universal Transmitter. Do not release the controls until step 4 has been completed. 4. Hold down both controls until the red light begins to flash slowly and then rapidly. Rapid flashing indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal. 5.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare. Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may impair proper mirror performance.

Press the control to turn the mirror on or off. The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a bright clear view when backing up.

ELECTRONIC COMPASS (IF EQUIPPED) The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously recalibrating due to magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle. The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels are experienced (such as steel bridges). The compass will return to normal operation upon leaving the magnetized area. If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are placed very near the compass the display will change to “C” for 15
seconds, then display all segments until the magnetized item is removed. Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

SECURILOCKY ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM The SecuriLocky anti-theft system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle’s engine can only be started with the two special SecuriLocky electronically coded keys provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLocky key is read by the SecuriLocky anti-theft system. If the SecuriLocky key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLocky anti-theft system, the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the SecuriLocky key identification code does not match the code stored in the system or if a SecuriLocky key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the vehicle’s engine will not operate. Spare SecuriLocky keys can be purchased from your dealership and programmed to your SecuriLocky anti-theft system. Refer to Programming spare SecuriLocky keys for more information. If one or both of your SecuriLocky keys are lost or stolen and you want to ensure the lost or stolen key will not operate your vehicle, bring your vehicle and all available SecuriLocky keys to your dealership for reinitialization.

Theft indicator The theft indicator on top of the instrument panel will operate as follows: • When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every 2

seconds to indicate the SecuriLocky system is protecting your vehicle.

• When the ignition is turned to RUN or START, the theft indicator will light for 3 seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.

Programming spare SecuriLockY keys Spare SecuriLocky keys can be purchased from your dealership and programmed to your SecuriLocky anti-theft system (up to a total of 8
keys). Your dealership can program your new SecuriLocky key(s) to your vehicle or you can do it yourself using the following simple procedure. To program a new SecuriLocky key yourself, you will need two previously programmed SecuriLocky keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine). If two previously programmed SecuriLocky keys are not available (one or both of your original keys were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare SecuriLocky key(s) programmed.

Procedure to program spare SecuriLockY keys to your vehicle New SecuriLocky keys must have the correct mechanical key cut for your vehicle. Conventional (non-SecuriLocky) keys cannot be programmed to your vehicle. You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLocky keys and the new unprogrammed SecuriLocky key readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin. 1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLocky key into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one second). 2. Turn ignition to OFF and remove the first SecuriLocky key from the ignition.

54

Controls and features

3. Within five seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the second previously programmed SecuriLocky key into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one second but no more than 5 seconds). 4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second SecuriLocky key from the ignition. 5. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the unprogrammed SecuriLocky key (new key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one second). This step will program your new SecuriLocky key. 6. To program additional SecuriLocky key(s), repeat this procedure from step 1. If the programming procedure was successful, the new SecuriLocky key(s) will start the vehicle’s engine. The theft indicator (located on the instrument panel) will light for three seconds and then go out. If the programming procedure was not successful, the new SecuriLocky key(s) will not operate the vehicle’s engine. The theft indicator will flash on and off. Wait at least one minute and then repeat the procedure from step 1. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare SecuriLocky key(s) programmed.
