When the gage reads in the yellow band, a warning chime will sound and the CHECK GAGES warning light will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you need to get more fuel right away. On vehicles with the optional DIC, the CHECK GAGES LOW FUEL message will be displayed when the fuel gage reads in the yellow band. See “DIC Warnings and Messages” in the Index for more information. Here are some things that owner’s ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: D At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before

the gage reads full.

D It take a little more (or less) fuel to fill up than the

gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more (or less) than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.

Fuel Gage

United States

Canada

When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have in your tank.

2-78

Boost Gage (If Equipped)

Head-Up Display (Option)

Vehicles equipped with the supercharged engine have this boost gage that indicates vacuum during light to moderate throttle and boost under heavier throttle.

The gage displays the air pressure level going into the engine’s combustion chamber. The gage is automatically centered at zero every time the ignition key is turned to RUN. Actual vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing weather, will slightly change the zero reading.

CAUTION:

If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it’s dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view.

If you have the optional Head-Up Display (HUD), you can see some of the driver information also available on your instrument panel cluster. The information may be displayed in English or metric units and appears as a reflection on the windshield. The HUD shows: D Speedometer Reading D Turn Signal Indicators D High-beam Indicator Symbol D CHECK GAGES Message (for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low oil level, high/low battery, brake, ABS and air bag.)

D Low Fuel Warning Symbol D Radio Frequency and Playback Mode

2-79

If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you may not see something important, such as a warning light. So be sure to scan your displays and controls and the driving environment just as you would in a vehicle without HUD.

NOTICE:

Although the HUD image appears to be near the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If you try to use it that way, such as in a parking lot, you may misjudge distance and run into something.

HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the instrument panel. The speedometer may display a difference of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) from the HUD image. This is normal. When the ignition key is turned to RUN, all possible HUD images will come on, then the HUD will operate normally.

2-80

2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before setting the

height control. Press and hold the top of the IMAGE (image height) control, raising the HUD image as far as possible. Then press on the bottom of the HUD image height control to move the image down, so the image is as low as possible, but in full view.

3. Turn the dimmer control counterclockwise until the

HUD image is no brighter than necessary. To turn the HUD off, rotate the HUD dimmer control all the way counterclockwise.

If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you turn on your headlamps, you may need to adjust the HUD brightness using the HUD dimmer control. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see. Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. Spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid could leak inside the unit.

2-81

The HUD controls are located to the left of the steering column. 1. Start your engine and turn the HUD dimmer all of

the way clockwise. The brightness of the HUD image is determined by ambient light, and where you have set the HUD dimmer control.

If you can’t see the HUD image when the ignition is on, check to see if: D The HUD unit is covered, D the HUD dimmer control is adjusted correctly, D the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height, or D a fuse in the fuse panel may be blown. See “Fuses

and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.

If the HUD image is not clear, it could be too bright. Move the HUD dimmer control further downward. You may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens. Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one designed for HUD. If you don’t, the HUD image may look blurred and out of focus.

Systems Monitor (If Equipped)

If you have the systems monitor, it gives you important safety and maintenance facts about your vehicle.

When you turn the ignition on, the systems monitor and warning lights will briefly light up. If a problem is detected, the warning lights will turn on and a chime will sound.

2-82

The following warning lights are displayed in the systems monitor: D CHECK OIL LEVEL: This message could mean

your oil level is low. If it comes on for more than five seconds, see “Check Oil Level Warning Light” in the Index.

D WASHER FLUID: This message means your

washer fluid tank is less than about 30 percent full. If this light comes on, see “Low Washer Fluid Warning Light” in the Index.

D DOOR AJAR: This message means that either the driver’s door or one of the passenger’s doors is not completely closed. If this light comes on, see “Door Ajar Light” in the Index.

D TIRE PRESS: This message means one or more of

your tires may be low. See “Check Tire Pressure System” in the Index.

D CHECK GAGES: This means one or more of your

gages may be in their respective warning bands. If this light comes on, see “Check Gages Warning Light” in the Index.

D TRUNK AJAR: This message means your trunk is

not completely closed.

The following buttons are on the systems monitor control panel which is located to the right of the instrument panel cluster: D E/M: Use this button to change the display between

Electronic Compass

Choosing Your Zone Number

Some vehicles are equipped with an electronic compass. As with all compasses, this unit senses the earth’s magnetic field to show the direction the vehicle is pointing.

The earth’s magnetic field is not always the same direction as true north as we know it. So, you must enter a zone number to tell the compass the difference between magnetic and actual north. This tells the compass where in the country you are driving. The compass remembers your zone, so you only have to change it if you drive to a new zone on the map. The compass adjusts only a small amount for each zone, so you may not notice a difference if you drive from one zone to the next one, until you cross several zones.

Locate your zone number on the above map. If your number is different than the one shown when you turn the key on, follow the steps to change your zone number. If you live on the line, you can pick the zone area you are most likely to drive in. (In Alaska, use Zone 9 or 10. In Hawaii, use Zone 7).

2-87

Changing Your Zone Number 1. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION. 2. Press SELECT to display RESET CHANGES ZONE. 3. Press RESET until your number appears. 4. Press MODE to exit the COMPASS CALIBRATION

MODE and store the new zone number. When the MODE button is pressed, the DIC will return to the VEHICLE DATA mode.

Calibrating the Compass All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic profile of your vehicle. This is called calibration and is done automatically by your compass. But, the feature is available if you would like to manually calibrate. Sometimes, strong magnetic fields can affect the compass. If the compass display does not show a direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows: 1. Drive the vehicle to an open, flat area. 2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION. 3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO

RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET button.

2-88

4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN

SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small circles. Don’t drive faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).

5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION COMPLETE is displayed on the DIC and a direction is shown for the compass.

Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this when a direction is shown and the CALIBRATE COMPASS message is no longer displayed.

Compass Accuracy Your compass may show different headings around bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills. This is normal and is true of compasses in general. If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk they could affect accuracy. If the affect is minimal, the compass will adapt to these objects over time. If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to mount it away from the center of the trunk near the rear window. The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the compass corrects for the rear defog. However, if the rear defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off again, the accuracy returns to normal.

Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know they are there. As an example, many concrete roads have metal reinforcements inside. Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect accuracy and could decalibrate the compass. Driver Identifier DIC Display This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own preferred display mode. The personalization settings displayed on the DIC are determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle. After the unlock button of a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed and the ignition is in RUN, the DIC will display the identified driver. The settings can also be changed by briefly pressing one of the MEMORY buttons located on the driver’s door. The DIC is used to program information for DRIVER #1 and DRIVER #2. The DIC will identify a person as UNKNOWN DRIVER if they are neither DRIVER #1 nor DRIVER #2.

DIC Personalization Programming The DIC can be used to program the following personalization features available with your vehicle: D Automatic Door Locks D Window Lockout D Security Feedback D Delayed Locking D Perimeter Lighting D Memory Seats D Parallel Park Assist Mirror (Tilt Mirror) D Driver ID The DIC is used to program the personal choices of two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER #1
and DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which driver you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter or by pressing the appropriate memory seat control button located on the driver’s door or choosing the driver with the DIC. Each remote keyless entry transmitter was preprogrammed to belong to DRIVER #1 or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter may be programmed differently for each driver.

Standard Climate Control System

Fan Knob The left knob regulates the force of the air coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the fan speed and counterclockwise to decrease the fan speed. Push the knob to turn the fan off. The fan must be on to run the air conditioning compressor.

Temperature Knob The right knob regulates the temperature of the air coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area for cooler air. Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.

Mode Buttons You may choose the direction of air delivery by selecting one of the five mode control buttons.

PANEL: This setting directs airflow through the

upper air outlets located in the instrument panel.

BI-LEVEL: This setting directs airflow through

both the upper air outlets and the lower floor outlets. There is also a small amount of air directed to the front defroster and the side window defrosters.

FLOOR: This setting directs most of the airflow to the lower floor outlets with some airflow directed to the side window defrosters. There is also a small amount of airflow directed to the front defroster.

DEFOG: This setting directs most of the airflow

to the lower floor outlets and the front windshield defroster. A small amount of airflow is directed to the side window defroster outlets. This mode can be useful to remove the moisture from the inside of the windshield when the outside temperature is cold or the humidity is high.

FRONT: This setting directs most of the airflow to the front windshield defroster with some airflow to the side window defrosters and lower floor outlets. To improve windshield clearing performance when you select FRONT defrost, your air conditioning compressor will run automatically above approximately 40_F (4_C).

Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor regulates temperature based on sun load. The EXT (exterior) temperature sensor is located in the front of the vehicle behind the grille. The displayed temperature is most accurate after the vehicle has been moving for a few minutes. If the vehicle is stopped and then restarted within 2 1/2 hours, the sensor will be hot from the engine heat. In this case, the temperature first displayed will continue to be the previous temperature. The display will update after the vehicle has been moving for a few minutes and the sensor has a chance to cool down to the actual temperature. To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available. The length of delay depends on engine coolant temperature. Pushing the fan button will override this delay and change the fan to a selected speed.

Automatic Operation When the system is set for AUTO, your climate control system will control the air delivery mode, fan speed, A/C and RECIRC operations. Air will come from the floor, panel or windshield outlets. The fan speed will vary as the system maintains the selected temperature setting. When AUTO is selected, the A/C operation and air inlet will be automatically controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run at outside temperatures over approximately 40_F (4_C). The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it’s hot outside, the air inlet will automatically switch to recirculated inside air to help quickly cool down your vehicle. To find your comfort zone, start with 75_ F (24_C) temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to regulate. Turn the TEMP knob up or down to adjust the temperature setting if necessary. If you choose the temperature setting of 60_F (15_C), the system will remain at the maximum cooling setting and fan speed. If you choose the temperature setting of 90_F (33_C), the system will remain at the maximum heat setting and fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.

3-6

Manual Operation You may also manually adjust the air delivery mode or fan speed.

FLOOR: Manually selecting FLOOR mode by cycling through the MODE settings will deliver air to the floor outlets.

DEFOG: Manually selecting DEFOG by cycling through the MODE settings will deliver air to the floor and windshield outlets.

BI-LEVEL: Manually selecting BI-LEVEL by cycling through the MODE settings will deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets.

PASSENGER PUSH OFF: Press this knob to cancel the passenger’s set temperature. The passenger’s set temperature will be set equal to the driver’s set temperature. Both the words DRIVER and PASS will be displayed under the set temperature in the display area. A/C: Press this button to turn the air conditioning

compressor on and off. When A/C is selected or in AUTO mode, the system will run the A/C automatically to cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. If you select A/C OFF while in FRONT defrost, the A/C OFF text will flash to let you know this is not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.

RECIRC: Press this button to limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle. You may use this setting to limit odors entering your vehicle. Press RECIRC to recirculate inside air until the RECIRC button is pressed again or the OUTSIDE AIR button is pressed. If you select RECIRC while in defrost the RECIRC light will flash to let you know this is not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.

3-7

When the weather is cool or damp, operating in RECIRC for extended periods of time may cause fogging of the vehicle’s windows. To clear the fog, press the OUTSIDE AIR button and select either DEFOG or FRONT defrost. Be sure A/C OFF is not selected to allow the air conditioning compressor to run automatically and help dehumidify the air.

OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button to allow fresh air to enter your vehicle if you currently have RECIRC selected. You may also override the system’s automatic use of RECIRC by selecting OUTSIDE AIR.

FRONT: Press this button to clear the windshield.

The system will automatically control the fan speed if you select defrost from AUTO. If the outside temperature is 38_F (3_C) or warmer, your air conditioning compressor will automatically run to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield.

Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. If you have the standard system, for quick cool-down on very hot days, use the airflow from the PANEL outlets, press RECIRC and A/C with the temperature knob in the blue area. If this max A/C setting is used for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may become too cold and dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C without RECIRC with the temperature knob in the blue area. If you have the electronic system, in AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the system will maximize its performance by using RECIRC as necessary. On cool, but sunny days, with the standard system or through manual operation of the electronic system, use BI-LEVEL to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the TEMP knob up or down.

3-8

Heating If you have the standard system, on cold days use FLOOR with the temperature knob in the red area. If you have the electronic system, press AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning the TEMP knob up or down. You may also adjust the electronic system manually by pressing the MODE button and selecting FLOOR. Again, adjust the temperature by turning the TEMP knob up or down. With either system, outside air will be heated and sent through the floor outlets. The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it.

Defogging and Defrosting On cool, humid days, use DEFOG to keep the windshield and side windows clear. Use FRONT defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions. If you have the standard system, select DEFOG and adjust the fan speed to your comfort level. Turn the A/C on to help dehumidify the air. Use FRONT defrost with the temperature toward the red area and the fan control toward high. If you have the electronic system and select FRONT defrost or DEFOG from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. Adjust the temperature and fan speed to your comfort level. After the windshield is clear, adjust the temperature to your normal setting and select the AUTO button and return to AUTO mode and fan control. For maximum FRONT defrost performance under extreme icing or frosting conditions, increase the temperature setting to 90_F (33_C) and increase the fan speed to high.

Rear Window Defogger

The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass. Press the button to start warming your window. A light will glow in the button while the defogger is working.

If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button will activate them. After 10 minutes it will turn off by itself, or press the button during the heating cycle to turn it off. If you need additional warming time, push the button again. The system will then operate for five minutes before turning off by itself. If your speed is maintained over 30 mph (48 km/h), the rear defog will not turn off automatically to help keep the rear glass clear. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals across the defogger grid on the rear window.

3-10

NOTICE:

Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the defogger grid. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

Ventilation System For mild outside temperatures when little heating or cooling is needed, use the panel outlet setting (on the standard system) to direct outside air through your vehicle. Air will flow through the instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle when it’s moving. When the vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow through by selecting any air delivery mode and any fan speed.

Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the direction and amount of airflow inside the vehicle. Move the knob in the center of each outlet up, down or side-to-side to direct the air from the outlet. Use the control dial in the center to shut the outlet off. For the most efficient airflow and temperature control, keep the shut off door in the fully opened position.

In vehicles equipped with rear seat outlets, you can adjust the airflow toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move the knob in the center of each outlet in any direction to direct airflow. Increase or reduce the amount of airflow from the upper outlets by adjusting the lever between the two rear vents up or down to the floor outlets.

3-11

Ventilation Tips D Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and defroster will work better, reducing the chance of fogging your windows.

D In cool damp weather, minimize your use of

RECIRC to reduce the chance of fogging your windows.

D When you enter a vehicle with the standard system in cold weather, select FLOOR mode to supply air through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high for a few moments before driving away. This will blow moist air from the intake outlets toward the floor, not the windshield. It reduces the chance of fogging your windows. If you have the electronic system, the AUTO setting will do this for you. Manual operation of the electronic system in the FLOOR mode will also supply air through the floor outlets.

D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
