eventually poison you. To avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below.

† Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for a extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with engine running for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fresh, outside air into the vehicle. † Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open. † Always run the climate control in panel or floor mode when driving with any windows open, even if only slightly, to help keep fresh air circulating inside ve- hicle. Otherwise poisonous gases could be drawn into the vehicle.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 69

Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The Vehicle

Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, pretensioners, etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt. NOTE: The “Seat Belt Indicator Light” will remain on until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. Airbag Warning Light The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the bulb is not lit during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. You should feel the air directed against the windshield. Safety Checks You Should Make Outside The Vehicle

Tires Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness and tires (includ- ing spare) for proper pressure.

Lights Have someone observe the operation of all exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, coolant, oil or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately.

MIRRORS

Inside Day/Night Mirror The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view through the rear window. A two-point pivot system allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the mirror. The mirror should be adjusted while set in the day position (toward windshield). Annoying headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror to the night position (toward rear of vehicle).

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 75

76 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Inside Automatic Dimming Mirror — If Equipped This mirror automatically adjusts for annoying headlight glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn the feature on or off by pressing the button at the base of the mirror. A light in the button will indicate when the dimming feature is activated.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean.

Outside Mirrors To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 77

Set the top switch to the left or right for the left or right mirror, and set it to the center off position to prevent accidentally moving a mirror when you are finished adjusting the mirror. Press one of the four arrows for the direction you want the mirror to move.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your right side mirror could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other objects. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the right side mirror.

Power Remote Control Outside Mirrors — If Equipped The controls for the power mirrors are located on the driver’s door trim panel below the door lock switch.

78 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Heated Remote Control Mirrors — If Equipped

These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you turn on the rear

window defrost. Illuminated Vanity Mirrors — If Equipped An illuminated vanity mirror is on the sun visor. To use the mirror, rotate the sun visor down and swing the mirror cover upward. The lights turn on automatically. Closing the mirror cover turns off the lights. When the ignition is turned off, the light will turn off automatically (after approximately 8 minutes).

HANDS–FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect™) — IF EQUIPPED UConnect™ is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle communications system. UConnect™; allows you to dial your cellular phone using simple voice commands (e.g., “Call Mike Work” or “Dial 248-555-1212”). Your cellular

phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s stereo system; the system will automatically mute your radio before receiving or sending a call. UConnect™ allows you to transfer calls between the system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your vehicle, and enables you to mute the system’s micro- phone for private conversations. The UConnect™; phone book enables you to store up to 32 names and four numbers per name. This system is driven through your Bluetooth™ Hands-Free Profile cellular phone. UConnect™ features Bluetooth™ technol- ogy - the global standard that enables different electronic devices to connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so UConnect™ works no matter where you stow your cellular phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase). UConnect™ allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to the system, and it is available in English, French, or Spanish formats (as equipped).

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 79

The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the system and the control buttons that will enable you to access the system. The diagram below shows the mirror with the appropriate buttons. Individual button behavior is discussed in the “Operation” Section.

The UConnect™ system can be used with any Hands Free Profile certified Bluetooth™ cellular phone. If your

80 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

cellular phone has a different profile (i.e. headset profile), you will not be able to use any UConnect™ features. The UConnect™ system is fully integrated into your vehicle, including your vehicle’s stereo system. All voice prompts as well as the other party’s voice in a conversa- tion will be played over your vehicle’s stereo system. The volume of the UConnect™ system can be controlled through your normal stereo controls. The radio display will be used for visual prompts from the UConnect™ system such as caller ID. Operation Voice commands can be used in the operation of the UConnect™ system and to navigate through the UCon- nect™ menu structure. Voice commands should be given after each UConnect™ system prompt. You will be prompted for a specific command and then guided through the available options. There are two ways to give commands to the UConnect™ system:

† You can say 9Dial9 at the 9Ready9 prompt. When prompted for the phone number you wish to dial, say the phone number (9123 456 78909). † Alternatively as you become familiar with the UCon- nect™ system, you can combine the commands and say 9Dial 123 456 78909.

Pairing a Cellular Phone to the UConnect™ System To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone. To complete the registration process, you will need to refer- ence your cellular phone owner’s manual. † Press the ’Phone’ button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt, say 9Setup Phone Pairing9. † You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number into the UConnect™ system which you will later need to enter into your cellular phone during the cellular phone pairing process. You can enter any four-digit

pin number. You will not need to remember this pin number after the initial registration process. † The UConnect™ system will then prompt you to begin the cellular phone pairing process on your cellular phone. Please see your cellular phone user’s manual for instructions on how to complete this step. † For identification purposes, you will be prompted to give the UConnect™ system a name for your cellular phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be given a unique phone name. † You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a priority level between 1 and 7, 1 having the highest priority. You can connect up to seven cellular phones to your UConnect™ system and the priority allows the UConnect™ system to know which cellular phone to use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the same time. For example, if a priority 3 and priority 5
cellular phone are both in the vehicle, the UConnect™

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 81

system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you make a call. You can select to use a lower priority cellular phone at any time.

Making a Phone Call Using Digit Dialing † Press the ’Phone’ button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt, say 9Dial9 or 9Call9 followed by the phone number you wish to dial. For example, you can say 9Dial 123 456 78909. The phone number that you enter must be a valid length.

Making a Phone Call Using Your UConnect™ Phonebook † Press the “Phone” button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt, say 9Dial9 or 9Call9 followed by the name and designation of a phonebook entry that you wish to dial. For example, you can say 9Call John Doe Work9.

Power Seat Adjuster — If Equipped

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

6–Way Power Seat with Manual Recliner The seat switch is on the outboard side of the seat near the floor. Use this switch to move the seat up or down, forward or rearward, or to tilt the seat.

† SPARE LOW PRESSURE † SPARE HIGH PRESSURE † TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE † TIRE PRESSURE NOW AVAILABLE † TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING † SPARE SWAP DETECTED Tire Pressure Monitor System 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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 113

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

114 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 the C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed. NOTE: This display will return 60 seconds after 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. 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 each ignition cycle.

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 3 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. If 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 3 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 when valid tire pressure sensor messages have been received from all 4 road tires. TPM system function may be temporarily unavailable due to external electromag- netic 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. If a road tire is replaced by the spare, the TPM system will automatically detect 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). General Information This device complies with FCC rules part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to 9time-out9 (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 9time-out9 in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the 9Program- ming HomeLink9 procedures (regardless of where you live), replace step two with the following: If programming a garage door opener or gate NOTE: operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the 9cycling9 process to prevent possible overheating. Press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds ((cycle() your hand-held transmitter button until the radio signal has success- fully been accepted by HomeLink.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 151

4. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 5. Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light — If Equipped This light will turn on when there is a low tire pressure condition. The light will also turn on if a problem exist with any tire sensor. The light will remain on until the tire pressure is prop-

erly set or the problem with the sensor is corrected. This light will turn on momentarily as a bulb check when the engine is started. When the “Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light” is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. 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

152 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on the vehicle placard. 6. 4LO Mode Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4 LO four–wheel drive mode. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked to- gether forcing the front and rear wheels to

rotate at the same speed. 7. Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light shows when the front fog lights are on.

8. 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. 9. Anti-Lock Warning Light (ABS) — If Equipped

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) described elsewhere in this manual. This

light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as three seconds. If the light comes back on immediately 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. Also, a chime will sound if the light comes back 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 operation of the ABS light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 153

parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. 10. Charging System Warning Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charg- ing system. The light should come on for three seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. If the light comes back on immediately or comes on while driving, it means that there is a problem with the charging system or the battery is low. Also, a chime will sound if the light comes back on. See your authorized dealer immediately. 11. 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, in heavy stop and go traffic, or when
