Tire Pressure Monitor System — If Equipped The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses wireless technology to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the over- head console.

The tire pressure is shown in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display. The TPM system remains active even if it is not displayed in the EVIC.

CAUTION!

The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire pressure and will not function as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting the pressure in your tires. There will be a delay between the instant you adjust the air pressure in a tire and when the system updates the display.

NOTE: The TPM system can inform you about a low or high tire pressure condition, but it does not replace normal tire maintenance. The TPM system is not intended to provide you with notification of rapid pressure loss.

1. If any tire pressure has exceeded the low or high pressure (refer to STARTING AND OPERATING — TIRES AND WHEELS), the TPM system will display a message in the EVIC and sound a chime. It will then go into the tire pressure display screen and flash the pres- sure value of the tire that is low or high. This will be displayed for the rest of the ignition cycle, or until either the C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed. NOTE: This display will return 60 seconds after either the C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed. If a tire is low or high, you should correct your tire inflation pressure as soon as possible and inspect all of your tires. Refer to STARTING AND OPERATING — TIRES AND WHEELS for more details. Once the low or high tire pressure message has occurred, it will continue to blink until the tire pressure is cor- rected.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 93

2. If the spare tire pressure has exceeded the low or high pressure allowed, the TPM system will display a message in the EVIC for 60 seconds and sound a chime per every ignition cycle (5 Tire TPM System Only). NOTE: This message will return every ignition cycle, until the tire pressures are corrected. 3. When the vehicle is moving and the EVIC cannot receive a valid sensor signal from the tire pressure sensors, the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE message will be displayed for 5 seconds along with a chime. The display will then shift to the individual tire pressure display screen and display dashes for the tire or tires that are affected. Once the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE message has been displayed, and valid sensor signals are received, the EVIC will display the TIRE PRESSURE NOW AVAILABLE message for 5 seconds along with a chime. This is meant to inform you when the TPM system has returned to it’s normal operation. This will occur

94 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

when valid tire pressure sensor messages have been received from all 4 road tires. TPM system function is temporarily unavailable due to external electromagnetic interference, such as electronic devices or nearby radio or TV towers. 4. In addition to monitoring the vehicle tires, the TPM system monitors faults within the system. When any fault has been set, the TPM system will display TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING. Be sure to inspect your tires for proper inflation pressure. After you determine that your tires are properly inflated, see your authorized dealer for service to diagnose the problem with the TPM system.

5. With the 5 Tire TPM System, if a road tire is replaced by the spare, the TPM system will automatically detect that the tires have been switched (after the ignition has been cycled) and display SPARE SWAP DETECTED along with a chime. This could take up to 10 minutes with vehicle speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). 6. With the 4 Tire TPM System, if a road tire is replaced by the spare, the TPM system will display TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING. This is due to the spare tire not being equipped with a tire pressure sensor. Once the road tire is repaired and/or installed back on the vehicle with the proper tire pressure the message will be removed. This could take up to 10 minutes with vehicle speed above 25
mph (40 km/h).

WARNING!

In an accident a cargo cover loose in the vehicle could cause injury. It could fly around in a sudden stop and strike someone in the vehicle. Do not store the cargo cover on the cargo floor or in the passenger compartment. Remove the cover from the vehicle when taken from its mounting. Do not store in the vehicle.

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks The tie-downs located on cargo area floor should be used to safely secure loads when vehicle is moving.

120 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

† Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or colli- sion a hook could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child seat tethers. † The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control result- ing in personal injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

† Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits described on the label attached to the left door or left door center pillar. Refer to “Vehicle Loading” in Sec- tion 5 for additional information on cargo weights.

† Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible. † Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. † Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

WARNING!

To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK 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 rated vehicle capacity. This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack. If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and install Mopart cross rails built specifically for this roof rack system or a number of after market rails that are tailored to your life-style or activities.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 121

CAUTION!

† To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without cross rails installed. The load should be secured and placed on top of the cross rails, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other protection between the load and the roof surface. † To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the rated load capacity of your cross rail system or the roof rack system maximum load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). 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. † 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.

122 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF 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.

Refer to “Sentry Key Immobilizer System” in Section 2 of this manual for more information.

9. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II which monitors engine and auto- matic transmission control systems. This light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the ignition key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly.

Certain conditions such has 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 typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. When the engine is running, the “Malfunction Indicator Light” may flash to alert of serious conditions 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. 10. Cruise Indicator Light

This indicator lights when the electronic speed control system is turned ON.

11. Check Gages Warning Light

This light illuminates when the voltmeter, oil pressure, or temperature gages indicate a reading

either too high or too low. Examine the gages carefully, and follow the instructions above for each indicated problem. NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the fuel gage, voltmeter, oil pressure, and temperature gages will not show any readings. When the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch to ON to obtain accu- rate readings. 12. Part Time Indicator Light

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the PART TIME four–wheel drive mode, and the front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. 13. Transmission Over Temperature Warning Light

This light indicates that there is excessive transmis- sion fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing or snow plowing. If this light

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 131

comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in N (Neutral) until the light goes off. 14. Temperature Gage

Indicates engine coolant temperature. Any read- ing within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

The gage pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature (above center scale) when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range. If the pointer rises to the 260° (Hot) mark, pull over and stop the vehicle. Do not turn the engine off. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioning turned off, until the pointer drops back into the normal range.

132 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gage reads high, pull over and stop the vehicle.

When the fuel level reaches approximately 1.5 U.S. Gallons (6L) this light will come on and remain on until fuel is added. The “Low Fuel Warning Light” may turn on and off again, especially during and after hard braking, accelerations, or turns. This occurs due to the shifting of the fuel in the tank. Your vehicle has a programmable electronic feature that will sound a chime when the “Low Fuel Warning Light” comes on. See the information on “Overhead Console — Customer Programmable Features” in Section 3 to turn this feature on. 22. Fog Light Indicator Light

This light shows when the fog lamps are on.

23. Brake Warning Light

The red BRAKE warning light will come on when the ignition 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 longer, it may be an indication that the parking brake has not been released. If the light remains on when the parking brake is off, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or low fluid level. In this case, the light will remain on until the cause is corrected. If a brake malfunction is indicated, immediate repair is necessary and continued operation of the vehicle in this condition is dangerous.

ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION

The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the time in hours and minutes whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position and the time button is pressed. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is accurately maintained. Clock Setting Procedure

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position and press the time button. Using the tip of a ballpoint pen or similar object, press either the hour (H) or minute (M) buttons on the radio. 2. Press the H button to set hours or the M button to set minutes. The time setting will increase each time you press a button.

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.

136 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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.

CASSETTE TAPE AND PLAYER MAINTENANCE To keep the cassette tapes and player in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Do not use cassette tapes longer than C-90; otherwise, sound quality and tape durability will be greatly dimin- ished. 2. Keep the cassette tape in its case to protect from slackness and dust when it is not in use.

3. Keep the cassette tape away from direct sunlight, heat and magnetic fields such as the radio speakers. 4. Before inserting a tape, make sure that the label is adhering flatly to the cassette. 5. A loose tape should be corrected before use. To rewind a loose tape, insert the eraser end of a pencil into the tape drive gear and twist the pencil in the required directions. Maintain your cassette tape player. The head and capstan shaft in the cassette player can pick up dirt or tape deposits each time a cassette is played. The result of deposits on the capstan shaft may cause the tape to wrap around and become lodged in the tape transport. The other adverse condition is low or “muddy” sound from one or both channels, as if the treble tone control were turned all the way down. To prevent this, you should periodically clean the head with a commercially available WET cleaning cassette.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 163

As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30 hours of use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty (noticeably poor sound), it may not be possible to remove all deposits with a simple WET cleaning cassette.

CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE To keep the CD/DVD discs in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the surface. 2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge. 3. Do not apply paper, paper CD labels, or tape to the disc; avoid scratching the disc. 4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners, or antistatic sprays. 5. Store the disc in its case after playing.

164 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. 7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become too high.

RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES Under certain conditions, the cellular phone being On in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna. This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be turned down or off during cellular phone operation.
