Each time the center button is pressed and released within 3 seconds, the display toggles through the follow- ing three configurations: † display compass/temperature (Fahrenheit), † display compass/temperature (Celsius), † and display off. Compass Calibration

Automatic Calibration Once calibrated, the compass has the ability to self- correct for changes in magnetic field to keep the compass accurate. This is referred to as Automatic Calibration. If magnetic field changes are too great, the compass will enter CAL mode on it’s own and manual calibration will be required. To recalibrate the compass, drive the vehicle at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) through up to 11⁄2 360° turns in an area free from large metal objects or power lines. When the compass has been calibrated, the CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally.

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.

The compass/temperature display provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass headings (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).

free from large metal objects or power lines. When the compass has been calibrated, the CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. Compass Variation Adjustment 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. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according to the Compass Variance Map. NOTE: When the mirror is in the VAR mode, the letter “Z” will be displayed along with the currently selected zone number.

48 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

When the vehicle is new, the compass should initially be verified for correct compass variance (refer to Compass Variation Adjustment) and calibrated manually (refer to Manual Calibration). This will ensure correct initial cali- bration and eliminate initial erroneous compass head- ings. Manual Calibration If the compass appears erratic and CAL does not appear, you must manually put the compass into the calibration mode. To ensure proper compass calibration, make sure the compass variance is properly set before manually calibrating the compass (refer to Compass Variation Adjustment). To put the compass into calibration mode: Turn the ignition to the ON position. Press and hold the center button for more than 6 seconds until CAL (calibration mode) appears in the display. To change the display between VAR (compass variance) and CAL (compass calibration) modes. Release the button to invoke manual calibration mode. To recalibrate the compass, drive the vehicle at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) through up to CAL should display for a complete 11⁄2 360° turns in an area

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 49

To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON, and press and hold the center button for 3 to 6 seconds. The last variance zone number will be displayed. Each press of the center button will select a new variance zone. When the proper zone is selected, wait 5 seconds to resume normal operation. Outside Mirrors To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s) to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.

FOLDING WINDSHIELD The fold down windshield and removable side bars on your vehicle are structural elements that can provide some protection in some accidents. The windshield also provides some protection against weather, road debris and intrusion of small branches and other objects. Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield down and the side bars removed as you lose the protec- tion these structural elements can provide.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 103

Outside rear view mirrors are mounted on the doors. If you choose to remove the doors, see your authorized dealer for a replacement cowl-mounted outside mirror. Federal law requires outside mirrors on vehicles for on-road use. If the doors are removed, the courtesy lights NOTE: will remain on. To turn these lights off, remove fuse #4 in the fuse panel. Refer to “Fuse Panel” in Section 7 of this manual.

NOTE: Before lowering windshield, disconnect the electrical connector for the inside Compass/Temperature mirror (if equipped). If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be removed and the windshield folded down. However, the protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you remove the side bars and fold down the windshield, drive slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the speed of the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with low range operation preferred, if you are driving off-road with the windshield folded down. Raise the windshield and reinstall the side bars as soon as the task that required their removal is completed and before you return to on-road driving. Both you and your passenger should wear seat belts at all times, on-road and off-road, regardless of whether the windshield is raised or folded down.

Lowering the Windshield and Removing Side Bars

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 115

116 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION Your vehicle is equipped with the instrument cluster described on the following pages. 1. Voltmeter

Indicates available battery voltage and charging system operation. The lower red zone indicates that battery charge may be too low to start the engine. With the engine running, the normal operating range is between 11 and 15 volts. Prolonged gauge readings between 8-11 (undercharge) or above 15 (overcharge) indicate possible malfunction of generator, voltage regulator or battery. See your dealer if such indications occur. 2. Front Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light shows when the front fog lights are on.

3. Cruise Indicator Light

This light shows when the electronic speed control system is turned on.

4. Sentry Key Indicator Light — If Equipped

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

5. Tachometer Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).

CAUTION!

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer in the red area. Engine damage will occur.

6. Turn Signal Indicator Lights

The arrows will flash with the exterior turn sig- nals when the turn signal lever is operated. A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on for more than 1 mile (2 km).

7. High Beam Indicator Light

This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the turn signal lever towards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or low. If the driver’s door is open, and the headlights or parklights are left on, the “High Beam Indicator Light” will flash and a chime will sound. 8. Seat Belt Indicator Light

A warning chime and an indicator light will alert you to buckle the seat belts. When the belt is buckled, the chime will stop, but the light will

stay on until it times out (about 6 seconds). 9. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 10. Front Axle Lock Indicator Light — If Equipped

Indicates when the front axle lock has been activated.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 117

11. Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light — If Equipped

Indicates when the rear axle lock has been activated.

12. 4WD Indicator Light

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 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. Shift Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light shows the driver when to shift to the next higher gear for best fuel economy (4.0L

Only). 14. Oil Pressure Gauge

Indicates engine oil pressure. This gauge does not indicate oil level, and pressure varies with engine speed, temperature and oil viscosity. Consis- tent lower readings indicate possible malfunction. Seek authorized service.

118 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

15. Coolant Temperature Gauge

Indicates engine coolant temperature. The red zone to the far right indicates possible overheat- ing. Seek authorized service immediately if the gauge operates in the red zone. In U.S. vehicles, temperature is indicated in degrees fahrenheit; in Canadian vehicles in degrees centigrade. 16. Airbag Warning Light

This indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition is first turned on. If the light does not come on for 6 to 8
seconds, stays on or comes on while driving, have the airbag system checked by an authorized dealer. 17. Check Gauges Warning Light

This light monitors the engine coolant tem- perature, engine oil pressure, and voltage gauges. If it detects an extreme condition a chime will sound and the light will come on. If the light comes on, check the operation of these gauges for a malfunction condition.

18. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic System called OBD II that monitors engine, and automatic transmission control systems. The light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving styles. 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 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.

19. Trip Odometer Button Press and release this button to toggle between the odometer and trip odometer displays. This button is also used to reset the trip odometer to 0. While the display is showing the trip odometer, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds and the display will reset to 0. 20. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. The odometer will “illuminate” when the driver’s door has been opened, and will remain on for 20 seconds after exiting the vehicle. 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 replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so the correct mileage can be determined.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 119

The trip odometer shows individual mileage up to 999.9
miles (1 600 km). To switch from odometer to trip odometer, press the trip odometer button. 21. Anti-Lock (ABS) Warning Light

After ignition is turned on, illuminates to indi- cate function check at vehicle start-up. If light remains on after start-up or comes on and stays on at road speeds, it may indicate that the ABS has detected a malfunction or has become inoperative. The system reverts to standard non-anti-lock brakes. If both the red BRAKE warning light and the amber ABS warning light are on, see your dealer immediately. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in Section 5 of this manual. 22. Brake Warning Light

After ignition is turned on, illuminates to in- dicate function check at vehicle start-up. Indi- cates parking brake is applied. If the light stays on when the parking brake is off, it indicates a possible brake system fluid leak or low pressure level, see your authorized dealer immediately.

120 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

If the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is in motion, the red BRAKE warning light will “flash” and a chime will sound. 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 approximately 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. 23. Low Fuel Warning Light

When the fuel level reaches approximately 2 U.S. Gallons (7.6L) 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. 24. Fuel Cap Indicator

This symbol indicates the side of the vehicle where the fuel cap is located.

25. Fuel Gauge The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank. When the fuel gauge pointer initially moves to E, for your safety, approximately 2 U.S. Gallons (7.6L) of fuel remain. NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the fuel gauge, voltmeter, oil pressure and temperature gauges may not show accurate readings. When the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch to ON to obtain accurate readings.

ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK

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 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 121

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. 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.

SALES CODE RAD—AM & FM STEREO RADIO WITH GRAPHIC EQUALIZER, CASSETTE TAPE PLAYER WITH CD PLAYER

Radio Security Code This radio is equipped with an anti-theft feature which requires that a four digit code number be entered when- ever the power supply is interrupted (such as a discon- nected battery). The four digit code can be found on the last page of this manual. Please remove this page from the manual and store it in a safe place outside of the vehicle.

To enter the code, turn the key to the ON or ACC position and press the ON/VOL control. The word CODE will appear on the display. Enter your four digit code by pressing the appropriate preset buttons in sequence. Your radio is now ready for basic operation. If an invalid code is entered into the radio, the radio will allow two more attempts. After a third attempt of enter- ing an invalid code, the radio will go into a lockup mode. This is to prevent continuous attempts at entering the wrong code until the right code is found. Once a radio is in this lockup mode, it must be in a state where battery is applied for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, if the radio is on, the display will show “WAIT”. After approximately 30 minutes, (radio on) radio will display “CODE” thereby again querying the operator for the 4 digit anti-theft code. Operating Instructions - Radio Mode
