WARNING!

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

To Set At A Desired Speed When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, press down on the lever and release. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. NOTE: The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and on level ground before pressing the SET lever.

To Deactivate A soft tap on the brake pedal, pulling the speed control lever towards you “CANCEL”, or normal brake or clutch pressure while slowing the vehicle will deactivate speed control without erasing the set speed memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or turning off the ignition switch erases the set speed memory. To Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, push the “RESUME ACCEL” lever up and release. Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h). To Vary The Speed Setting When the speed control is ON, speed can be increased by pushing up and holding “RESUME ACCEL”. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set.

Tapping “RESUME ACCEL” once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped, speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc. To decrease speed while speed control is ON, push down and hold “SET DECEL”. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. Tapping the “SET DECEL” button once will result in a 1
mph (1.6 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped, speed decreases. Manual Transaxle Depressing the clutch pedal will disengage the speed control. A slight increase in engine RPM before the speed control disengages is normal.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 125

Vehicles equipped with manual transaxles may need to be shifted into a lower gear to climb hills without speed loss.

WARNING!

Speed Control can be dangerous where the system can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.

To Accelerate For Passing Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

126 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Using Speed Control On Hills NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed control.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) – IF EQUIPPED This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. NOTE: ABS improves steering control of the vehicle during hard braking maneuvers.

WARNING!

† Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. † The ABS cannot prevent accidents,

including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM – ABS/TCS/BAS/ERM/ESP Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional ad- vanced electronic brake control system that includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System ( BAS), Electronic Roll Miti- gation (ERM) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). All systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions and are commonly referred to as ESP. Anti-Lock Brake System – (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in this Section of the manual for more information about ABS.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 127

Traction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active even if TCS and ESP are in either the “Partial Off” or “ESP Off” modes. Refer to “Electronic Stability Program (ESP)” in this Section of this manual.

128 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressure during the stopping sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.

WARNING!

† BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.

† The BAS cannot prevent accidents,

including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicles speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it applies the appropriate brake and may reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or evasive driving maneu- vers. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It can not prevent wheel lift due to other factors such as road conditions, leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 129

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM can not prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ERM equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopar- dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

ESP/TCS Indicator Light The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” located in the instrument cluster, 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.

130 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition. Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path. ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition † Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than † Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than

appropriate for the steering wheel position.

WARNING!

† Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. † ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 131

ESP 2WD Operating Modes All 2WD vehicles can choose the following ESP operating modes: ESP ON This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the vehicle is started the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for almost all driving situa- tions. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” or “ESP Off” for specific reasons as noted below. PARTIAL ESP This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the “ESP Control Switch”. When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion of ESP, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will be illuminated. All other stability features of ESP function normally, with the exception of engine power reduction. This mode is intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand or

132 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation.

WARNING!

In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable.

NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the ESP switch. Once the situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is

overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing the “ESP Control Switch”. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. ESP 4WD Operating Modes In addition to ESP ON and Partial ESP (described above in “ESP 2WD Operating Modes”), all 4WD equipped vehicles can also choose the following ESP operating mode: ESP OFF This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use when ESP stability features could inhibit vehicle maneu- verability due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by depressing and holding the “ESP Control Switch” for 5
seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After 5 seconds, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illuminate and the “ESP Off” message will appear in the odometer. Press and release the trip odometer button located on the instrument cluster to clear this message.

In this mode, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35
mph (56 km/h) the normal ESP stability function returns with the exception of engine power reduction. TCS remains off. When the vehicle speed drops below 30 mph (48 km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is off at low vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere with off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 35 mph (56 km/h). The “ESP/ TCS Indicator Light” will always be illuminated when ESP is off.

To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 133

ESP/BAS Warning Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. 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 both go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warn- ing Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.

134 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emer- gency evasive maneuver, the ESP system will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. “ESP Off” mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use, only.

NOTE: † The “ESP Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS Warning Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. † Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System

will be ON even if it was turned off previously.

† The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESP activation.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED HomeLinkt 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 HomeLinkt unit operates off of your vehi- cle’s battery. NOTE: HomeLinkt is disabled when the Vehicle Theft Alarm is active.

Programming HomeLinkT

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes. It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

136 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage when programming. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Hold the battery side of the hand-held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program. Place the hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLinkt indicator changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held transmitter buttons. Watch for the HomeLinkt indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open & close while you train.

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. † After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt 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.” 4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device) should activate when the HomeLinkt button is pressed. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, and then turns to a constant light, continue with program- ming for Rolling Code.

5. 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 & close the door).

7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for 2 sec- onds 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 2 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 HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels. 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 HomeLinkt 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 HomeLinkt button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkt has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained. If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink.” earlier in this section.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 139

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 red indicator flashes. Note that all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased. The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Theft Alarm is active.

Using HomeLinkT To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLinkt 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 hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Reprogramming a Single HomeLinkT Button To re-program a channel trained, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkt button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the button. 3. Without releasing the button, proceed with PRO- GRAMMING HOMELINK Step #2 and follow all remain- ing steps.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 159

160 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Fuel Gauge/Fuel Door Location

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the pointer will show the level of fuel remain- ing in the fuel tank. The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located. 2. Voltage Warning Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charg- ing system. The light should come on when the ignition switch is first turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the Charging System light remains on, or comes on while driving, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See your authorized dealer.

3. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light

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 and not need towing, however see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running you may experience power loss, an elevated/rough idle, and increased brake pedal effort, and your vehicle may require towing. Immediate service is required. The light will come on when the ignition switch is first turned on and remain on briefly as a bulb check. This is normal. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

4. Oil Pressure Warning Light

Shows low engine oil pressure. The light will come on and remain on when the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, and the light will turn off after the engine is started. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the light comes on and remains on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine. DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CAUSE IS CORRECTED. The light does not show the quantity of oil in the engine. This can be determined using the procedure shown in Section 7. 5. Low Fuel Warning Light

When the fuel level drops to 2 gallons, the fuel symbol will light and a single chime will sound.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 161

6. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 7. Airbag Warning Light

The light comes on and remains on for 6 to 8
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light does not come on during starting, stays on, or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 8. Turn Signal Indicator Light

The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior turn signal, when using the turn signal lever.

9. High Beam Indicator Light

This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Push the turn signal lever away from the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or low beam.

162 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

10. Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light — If Equipped

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) 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 as long as four seconds.

If the ABS 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, however, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally provided that 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 benefit of Anti-Lock Brakes.

The warning light should be checked frequently to assure that it is operating properly. Turn the ignition key to the on position, but do not start the vehicle. The light should come on. If the light does not come on, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 11. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this light will come on for about six seconds. A chime will sound if you have not pulled the shoulder belt out of the retractor. This is a reminder to “buckle up”. If you do not buckle up, the light will remain on. 12. Tachometer The white area of the scale shows the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm x 1000) for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.

13. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. If the engine is critically hot, a warning chime will sound 10 times. After the chime turns off, the engine will still be critically hot until the light goes out. 14. Brake System Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions, in- cluding brake fluid level and parking brake appli- cation. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, there is a low brake fluid level or there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. Failure of 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 163

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.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger- ous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD).

164 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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. The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approxi- mately 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. The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

15. Transmission Temperature Warning Light

During sustained high speed driving on hot days, the automatic transaxle oil may become too hot. If this happens, the transmission over- indicator light will come on and the heat vehicle will slow slightly until the automatic transaxle cools down enough to allow a return to the requested speed. If the high speed is maintained, the overheating will reoccur as before in a cyclic fashion. 16. Security Alarm System Indicator Light — If Equipped This light will flash rapidly for several seconds when the alarm system is arming. The light will begin to flash slowly indicating that the system is armed. 17. Temperature Gauge If the pointer rises to the H (red) mark, the instrument cluster will sound a chime. Pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until

the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the H (red) mark, turn the engine off immediately and call for service. There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition. If your air conditioning is on, turn it off. The air conditioning system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning off the A/C removes this heat. You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to Floor and the Fan control to High. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system. 18. Cruise Indicator Light — If Equipped

This indicator shows that the Speed Control System is ON.

19. Cruise SET Indicator Light — If Equipped This indicator shows that the Speed Control System is SET.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 165

20. Transmission Range Indicator This display indicator shows the automatic transmission gear selection. 21. Odometer/Trip Odometer Reset Button Press this button to change the display from odometer to either of the two trip odometer settings. Trip A or Trip B will appear when in the trip odometer mode. Push in and hold the button for two seconds to reset the trip odometer to 0 miles or kilometers. The odometer must be in trip mode to reset. 22. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light — If Equipped

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

166 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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 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.

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 replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

If this indicator comes on, it will brighten to NOTE: FULL DAYTIME INTENSITY and will not be dimmable.

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. 4WD Indicator Light — If Equipped This light indicates the vehicle is in 4WD.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 167

24. Odometer/Trip Odometer A vacuum fluorescent display indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven. Also, the cluster will display, replacing the odometer/trip odometer, vehicle warning messages such as: door/gate ajar and loose gas cap. Loose gas cap will be displayed from the Odometer/Trip Odometer on all models. If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec- NOTE: tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the instru- ment cluster, all warnings including “door”, and “gATE” will only be displayed in the EVIC display. For additional information, refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen- ter — If Equipped” in Section 3. 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

168 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. 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 indica- tor system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to the following procedure.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON 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. 25. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD that monitors emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems. The light will illuminate when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condi- tion checked promptly.

Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. If the Malfunction Indicator Light flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. If this indicator comes on, it will brighten to NOTE: FULL DAYTIME INTENSITY and will not be dimmable. 26. Front Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light shows when the front fog lights are ON.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 169

27. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light — If Equipped

If this indicator light flashes during accelera- tion, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road con- ditions, and do not switch off the ESP, or TCS — if equipped. 28. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light The malfunction lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes 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

170 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your autho- rized dealer as soon as possible. 29. 4WD! Warning Light — If Equipped

This light monitors the Four -Wheel-Drive (4WD) system. The light will come on, for a bulb check, when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as 3 seconds.

When lit solid: There is an 4WD system fault. 4WD performance will be at a reduced level. Service the 4WD system soon. When blinking: The 4WD system is temporarily dis- abled due to overload condition.

30. Electronic Vehicle Information Center Display—If Equipped When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages. 31.

Compass Variance 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. In order to ensure compass accuracy, the com- pass variance should be set to the zone number on the compass variance map that corresponds to the current location of the vehicle. NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the Instrument Panel. This is where the compass sensor is located.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 179

To Set the Variance: with the ignition in the ON position, with a short button press (less than one second) press and release the EVIC button several times until you have displayed the Personal Settings (Customer Program- mable Features) menu. Once in the Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features) menu, press and release (less than one second) the EVIC button several times until “Compass Variance” is highlighted. The “Compass Variance” message and the current variance zone number will be displayed. To change the zone, press and hold (longer than two seconds) the EVIC button to increment the variance one step. Repeat as necessary, with individual long (for at least 1 second) EVIC button presses for each increment, until the desired variance is achieved. To exit the Variance Programming, press the EVIC button with a short (less than one second) button press.

NOTE: The factory default Zone is 8. During program- ming, the Zone value will wrap around from Zone 15 to Zone 1. Compass Calibration The Compass will automatically calibrate if the Cal indicator is flashing, by driving around slowly (under 5
mph / 8 km/h) in one or more complete circles in an area free from large metallic objects or power lines, until the Cal indicator turns off. If during normal use the compass appears erratic, inaccurate or abnormal, you may wish to manually calibrate the compass. Prior to calibrating the compass make sure the proper zone is selected. To Manually Calibrate the Compass: start the engine and leave the transmission in the PARK position. Using a short button press (less than one second), press and release the EVIC button several times until the EVIC displays the Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features) menu. Once in the Personal Settings (Customer

Programmable Features) menu, press and release (less than one second) the EVIC button several times until “Calibrate Compass (Yes)” is displayed. Using a long button press (more than one second), pressing the EVIC button will place the Compass in calibration mode. The Cal indicator will come on continuously in the EVIC display to indicate that the compass is now in the calibration mode and that the vehicle can now be driven to calibrate. (A short EVIC button press from the 9Cali- brate Compass (Yes)9 screen will exit the EVIC Customer Programmable features, and return it to its normal oper- ating mode). To complete the compass calibration, drive the vehicle in one or more complete 360 degree circles under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free from power lines, large metallic objects, until the CAL indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.

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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 181

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.

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. 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. On the AM/FM/CD (single-disc) radio only one of the two, time or frequency is displayed.

Clock Setting Procedure

1. Press and hold the time button until the hours blink. 2. Adjust the hours by turning the right side Tune / Audio control. 3. After the hours are adjusted, press the right side Tune / Audio control to set the minutes. 4. Adjust the minutes using the right side Tune / Audio control. 5. To exit, press any button/knob or wait approximately 5 seconds.
