UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 201


202 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION Your vehicle is equipped with the instrument cluster described on the following pages. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. Front Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped


This light shows when the front fog lights are on.


4. 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. 5. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed.


6. Front Axle Lock Indicator Light — If Equipped


Indicates when the front axle lock has been activated.


7. 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). 8. Turn Signal Indicator Lights


The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals 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). 9. Oil Pressure Warning Light


Shows low engine oil pressure. The light will come on and remain on when the ignition switch is


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 203


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, have the system checked by your autho- rized dealer. If the warning 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. Also, a single chime will sound. 10. High Beam Indicator Light

204 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


11. Brake Warning Light


After ignition is turned on, illuminates to indicate function check at vehicle start-up. Indicates park- ing 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. 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.


12. Anti-Lock (ABS) Warning Light


After ignition is turned on, illuminates to indicate 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 stan- dard 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. 13. 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.


14. Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light — If Equipped


Indicates when the rear axle lock has been activated.


15. 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.


16. 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.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 205


17. Sentry Key/Security Alarm Indicator Light — If Equipped Refer to “Sentry Key Immobilizer System” or “Vehicle Security Alarm” in Section 2 of this manual. 18. 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, tempera- ture is indicated in degrees fahrenheit; in Canadian vehicles in degrees centigrade. 19. Cruise Indicator Light


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


206 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


20. 4WD Indicator Light — If Equipped


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


rotate at the same speed. 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. Transmission Range Indicator This display indicator shows the automatic transmission gear selection.


23. 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 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 may be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord- ingly, 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 signifi- cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat 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. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will illumi- nate in the instrument cluster, and an audible chime will be activated when one or more tire pressures is low. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 60 seconds when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is removed and reset.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 207


CAUTION!


The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings 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. After-market 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.


208 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


24. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. 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. 25. 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. 26. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light


This indicator light 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. The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will flash any time the ESP or TCS is active and helping to improve vehicle stability. If the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” is on solid, the ESP system has been turned off by the driver or a temporary condition exists that will not allow full ESP function. 27. O/D (Overdrive) Off Indicator Light


This light will illuminate when the O/D OFF button has been selected. The O/D OFF button is


located on the gear shift lever. 28. Sway Bar Indicator Light — If Equipped


This light will illuminate when the front sway bar is disconnected.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 209


29. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warning Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light


The ESP/BAS warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. The light should go out with the engine running. If the ESP/ BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light stays illuminated, have the ESP and BAS checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control System” in Section 5 for more information.


210 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


30. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light — If Equipped


This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control System. If a prob- lem is detected while the engine is running, the light will either stay on or flash depending on the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle is safely and completely stopped and the gear selector is placed in the P (Park) position. The light should turn off. If the light remains on with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light continues to flash when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated / rough idle, or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain


on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an autho- rized dealer. 31. Compass/Mini-Trip Computer Display — If Equipped When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Mini-Trip Computer messages. Refer to “Mini- Trip Computer” later in this section. 32. Compass/Mini-Trip Computer Button—If Equipped Press this button to switch between the different func- tions.


COMPASS AND TRIP COMPUTER — IF EQUIPPED This feature, located on the instrument cluster (speedom- eter and tachometer), displays information on outside temperature, compass direction, and trip information.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 211


The compass/trip computer, when the appropriate con- ditions exist, will show the following messages in the odometer display: • Door Ajar (door) • Swing Gate Ajar (gATE) • Loose Fuel Cap (gASCAP) • IOD Fuse (noFUSE) • ESP Off (ESPOFF) These messages can be manually turned off by pressing the right button (on the instrument cluster).

Compass Calibration The Automatic Compass Calibration feature eliminates the need for the operator intervention under normal conditions. If the CAL indicator is lit, the compass needs to be calibrated. A good calibration requires a level surface and an environment free of large metal objects such as large buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc. Automatic Compass Calibration The self-calibrating feature of the compass eliminates the need to calibrate the compass for normal conditions. During a short initial period, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL symbol will appear (blinking) on the display. After the vehicle has completed at least one complete circle under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free from large metal objects, calibration will be complete when the CAL symbol is extinguished.


214 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


After initial calibration, the compass will continue to automatically update this calibration whenever the ve- hicle is in motion. Manual Compass Calibration


NOTE: Before attempting a manual compass calibra- tion, the engine must be running and the transmission in the P (Park) position (if equipped). Compass calibration can also be requested. To manually calibrate the compass, you must first enter the variance mode. Press the and hold the left button (located on the instrument cluster) for approximately 10 seconds to enter the variance mode, and release the button when the VAR symbol appears. The current variance value will also be displayed. Once in the variance mode, it is necessary to release the button, and then press and hold it again (approximately 10 seconds) until CAL is displayed (solid not blinking). Manual compass calibration has been initiated. Drive the vehicle slowly in one or more circles


under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free from large metal objects until the CAL symbol is extinguished. When the CAL symbol no longer is displayed, the compass is calibrated and should display correct head- ings. Verify proper calibration by checking North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W). If the compass does not appear accurate, repeat the calibration procedure in an- other area. Compass Variance Variance is the difference between magnetic North and geographic North. For proper compass function, the correct variance zone must be set. Setting the Compass Variance Refer to the variance map for the correct compass vari- ance zone. To check the variance zone, the ignition must be on. Press and hold the left button (located on the instrument cluster) for approximately 10 seconds to enter the variance mode and release the button when the VAR


symbol appears. The current variance value will also be displayed. To change the zone, press the left button once to increment the zone. The default is Zone 8. After Zone 15, the values will wrap around to Zone 1. When the correct zone is displayed (per the Zone map) for the zone that the vehicle is located in, wait for about 5 seconds, then the trip computer will store the variance value in memory and the compass will resume normal operation. NOTE: The US/Metric display will change from En- glish to Metric or Metric to English before the VAR symbol appears, however, it will revert back to its original setting after programming the compass func- tions.

Outside Temperature If the outside temperature is more than 131°F (55°C), the display will show 131°F (55°C). When the outside tem- perature is less than ⫺40°F (⫺40°C), the display will show ⫺40°F (⫺40°C).


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. 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.

Operating Tips


Window Fogging Windows will fog on the inside when the humidity inside the vehicle is high. This often occurs in mild or cool temperatures when it’s rainy or humid. In most cases turning on the air-conditioning (pressing the snowflake button) will clear the fog. Adjust the temperature control, air direction and blower speed to maintain comfort. As the temperature gets colder it may be necessary to direct air onto the windshield. Adjust the temperature control and blower speed to maintain comfort. Higher blower speeds will reduce fogging. Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly removed by selecting the defrost mode. Regular cleaning of the inside of the windows with a non-filming cleaning solution (vinegar and water works very well) will help prevent contaminates (cigarette


smoke, perfumes, etc.) from sticking to the windows. Contaminates increase the rate of window fogging. Summer Operation Air conditioned vehicles must be protected with a high quality antifreeze coolant during summer to provide proper corrosion protection and to raise the boiling point of the coolant for protection against overheating. A 50 % concentration is recommended. Refer to Fluids and Genuine Parts in Section 7 for the proper coolant type. When using the air conditioner in extremely heavy traffic in hot weather especially when towing a trailer, addi- tional engine cooling may be required. If this situation is encountered, operate the transmission in a lower gear to increase engine RPM, coolant flow and fan speed. When stopped in heavy traffic, it may be necessary to shift into N (Neutral) and depress the accelerator slightly for fast idle operation to increase coolant flow and fan speed.

Winter Operation When operating the system during the winter months, make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the windshield, is free of ice, slush, snow, or other obstruc- tions. Vacation Storage Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air condi- tioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will insure adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility of com- pressor damage when the system is started again.
