activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.


High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas, such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move the vehicle out of the garage.


With the trunk open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into your vehicle’s interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the trunk open, open all the windows, and set the heating and cooling system as shown below.


If you must sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running, even in an unconfined area, adjust the heating and cooling system as follows:


1. 2. 3. 4.


Select the fresh air mode. Select the mode. Set the fan speed to high. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.


Carbon Monoxide Hazard


Your vehicle’s exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. You should have no problem with carbon monoxide entering the vehicle in normal driving if you maintain your vehicle properly.


Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:


The vehicle is raised for an oil change.


You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust.


The vehicle was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.

Instrument Panel Indicators


The instrument panel has many indicators to give you important information about your vehicle.


Seat Belt Reminder Indicator


This indicator comes on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. It reminds you and your passenger to fasten your seat belts. A beeper also sounds if you and your front passenger have not fastened your seat belts.


If you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position before fastening your seat belts, the beeper sounds, and the indicator flashes. If you do not fasten your seat belts before the beeper stops, the indicator stops flashing but remains on.


46


If your passenger does not fasten their seat belt, the indicator comes on about 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position.


If either of you do not fasten your seat belt while driving, the beeper will sound and the indicator will flash again at regular intervals. For more information, see page

Instrument Panel Indicators


‘‘Daytime Running Lights’’ Indicator


If this indicator comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position and the parking brake is released, it means there is a problem in the high beam headlight’s circuit. Have your vehicle checked by your dealer.


Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Indicators


The left or right turn signal indicator blinks when you signal a lane change or turn. If the indicator does not blink or blinks rapidly, it usually means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see page ). Replace the bulb as soon as possible, since other drivers cannot see that you are signaling.


154


When you press the hazard warning button, both turn signal indicators blink. All turn signals on the outside of the vehicle should flash.


48


High Beam Indicator


This indicator comes on with the high beam headlights. For more information, see page

Odometer The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven in miles and kilometers. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles and kilometers indicated.


Trip Meter This trip meter shows the number of miles or kilometers driven since you last reset it.


There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Switch between these displays by pressing the TRIP button repeatedly. Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances.


Gauges


To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the TRIP button until you hear a beep and the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.


Select Button The select button switches the speedometer reading between miles per hour and kilometers per hour. It also changes the odometer and trip meters to read in miles or kilometers correspondingly. To change the readings, push the SELECT button, and hold it until you hear a beep.

Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount.


Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter.


52


Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine’s coolant. During normal operation, the reading should be in the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the reading may reach near the red mark. If it reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. See page instructions and precautions on checking the engine’s cooling system.

Outside Temperature Indicator This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models).


The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).


The sensor delays the indicator update until it reaches the correct outside temperature. This may take several minutes.


If the outside temperature is incorrectly displayed, you can adjust it up 3°C in Canadian models) warmer or cooler.

Check Fuel Cap Indicator If your fuel fill cap is loose or missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message appears on the information display after you start the engine. The message goes from CHECK to FUEL,thentoCAPrepeatedly.You will also hear a beep.


Turn the engine off, and confirm the fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen the cap, then retighten it until it clicks at least once. When you restart the engine, the message appears again. To clear the message, press and hold the RESET button until the odometer display returns.


NOTE: The temperature must be stabilized before doing this procedure.


To adjust the outside temperature indicator, make sure the outside temperature indicator is shown in thedisplay,thenpressandholdthe TRIP button for 10 seconds (the TRIP A or B is also reset). The following sequence will appear for 1
secondeach:0,1,2,3,4,5, 5, 4, − − 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3, − − − 3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada). − − −


When it reaches the desired value, release the TRIP button. You should see the new outside temperature displayed.


In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface.


If the system still detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) comes on. Turn the engine off, and check or retighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks at least once. The MIL goes out after several days of normal driving once the cap is tightened or replaced. If it does not go out, have your dealer inspect the vehicle. For more information, see page
