5 (Headlamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. 3-13 (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) Headlamps on Reminder A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps or parking lamps are manually turned on, if the driver’s door is open and the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or ACC/ACCESSORY. To turn the tone off, turn the knob all the way counterclockwise. In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the ignition key is in LOCK/OFF. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. The DRL will activate when the following conditions are met: The ignition is on. The exterior lamps knob is in automatic headlamp mode. The light sensor detects daytime light. The transmission is not in P (Park). When DRL are on, either the turn signal lamps or headlamps will be on. If the vehicle has the High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting system option, the DRL system will turn on the turn signal lamps. If the vehicle does not have HID, the DRL system will turn on the headlamps at reduced brightness. The taillamps, sidemarker, and the instrument panel lights will not be on. When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps. Automatic Headlamp System When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when the vehicle is started and after the transmission has been shifted out of the P (Park) position. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking lamps will come on. The instrument panel lights and radio lights will also turn on at normal brightness. Once on, the system remains on during these conditions even if the vehicle is shifted back into P (Park). The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the system may come on whenever the ignition is on and the vehicle is shifted out of the P (Park) position. 3-14 (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) The system could also turn on the lamps when driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather or a tunnel. This is normal. There is a delay in the transition between the daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems, so that driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights does not affect the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp system are only affected when the light sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer than the delay. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on after the transmission is shifted out of P (Park). Once the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes about one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster might not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. If the vehicle is running and the automatic headlamp system is already on, it can be turned off by turning and releasing the headlamp control at the off position. The automatic headlamp system stays off until you turn and release the headlamp control at the off position again. See Headlamps on page 3-13. Fog Lamps The fog lamp control is located on the turn signal/multifunction lever. Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. # : The band with this symbol is used to turn the fog lamps on and off. When the fog lamps are turned on, the parking lamps also turn on. A message will also display on the DIC when the fog lamps are turned on or off. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-42. To turn the fog lamps on or off, turn the fog lamp band on the lever up to the dot and release it. The band will return to its original position. If the high-beam headlamps are turned on, the fog lamps will turn off. They will turn back on again when you switch back to low-beam headlamps. When the Fog Lamps are turned on or off, a message will appear on the Driver Information Center. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. 3-15 (cid:129) (cid:129) Instrument Panel Brightness Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the interior lights. To turn on the dome lamps, turn the knob completely clockwise as far as it will go. The dome lamps stay on until they are turned off. Dome Lamps The dome lamps automatically come on when a door is opened, unless the dome lamp override button is pressed in. The lamps can also be turned on and off by turning the instrument panel brightness control clockwise to the farthest position. Dome Lamp Override The dome lamp override button is located to the left of the steering column on the instrument panel. E : Press to turn the dome lamps off. The dome lamps will remain off when a door is open. This overrides the illuminated entry feature unless the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle. To return the lamps to automatic operation, press E again. The dome lamps will come on when any door is opened. Entry Lighting The vehicle has entry lighting. When any door is opened, the dome lamps come on as long as the dome override lamp override button is not pressed in. When all the doors are closed, the lamps stay on for a short period of time and then turn off automatically. If you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to unlock the vehicle, the interior lamps come on for a short time whether or not the dome lamp override is on. 3-16 Exit Lighting With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when you remove the key from the ignition. If the dome override is off, these lights will stay on for a short period of time and then will go out. Reading Lamps Press the indented part of the lenses on the reading lamps located in the overhead console to turn them on or off. Electric Power Management The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45. 3-17 Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adaptor fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer/retailer for additional information on the accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the vehicle can damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: damage not covered by the warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only. Improper use of the power outlet can cause Battery Run-Down Protection This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, and vanity lamps if they are left on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is off. This helps to keep the battery from running down. If the battery run-down protection shuts off the interior lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to return to normal operation: (cid:129) Shut off all lamps and close all doors. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN. This feature also turns off the parking lamps and headlamps under most circumstances, if they are left on. Turn the exterior lamps knob to turn them back on. Accessory Power Outlet(s) Accessory power outlets let you plug in auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone. The vehicle has three accessory power outlets. There are two outlets located below the climate controls and one outlet is on the rear of the center ﬂoor console. Remove the cover from the outlet to use the outlet. Be sure to put the cover back on when not using the accessory power outlet. 3-18 (cid:129) Climate Controls Dual Automatic Climate Control System With this system the heating, cooling and ventilation can be controlled on the vehicle. When the vehicle is ﬁrst started and the climate control system is on, or if the climate control system has been turned on, the display shows the driver’s temperature setting for ﬁve seconds. Then it shows the outside temperature. F. Recirculation G. Air Conditioning H. Defrost I. Air Delivery Mode Control J. Rear Window Defogger Outside Air Temperature Display A new outside temperature reading is displayed if the vehicle has been off for more than three hours. If the vehicle has been off for less than three hours, the old temperature reading may be displayed because underhood heat is affecting the true outside temperature. Underhood heat can also affect the outside temperature while the engine is running. It may also take several minutes of driving before the display updates to the actual outside temperature. A. Driver and Passenger Side Temperature Controls B. Fan Control C. Display D. AUTO E. Power Button 3-19 Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): When automatic operation is active, the system controls the air delivery mode, fan speed, and temperature inside the vehicle. Use the steps below to place the entire system in automatic mode: 1. Press AUTO. When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning and air inlet are automatically controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run continuously when the outside temperature is over approximately 40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet automatically changes to recirculate inside air to help quickly cool down the vehicle. 2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature. To ﬁnd your comfort setting, start with a 72°F (22°C) temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to adjust. Turn the driver or passenger side temperature knob to adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If a temperature setting of 60°F (15°C) is chosen, the system will remain at the maximum cooling setting. If a temperature setting of 90°F (32°C) is chosen, the system remains at the maximum heat setting. Choosing either maximum setting may not cause the vehicle to heat or cool any faster. 3-20 Manual Operation 9 (Off): Press to turn off the entire climate control system. Outside air still enters the vehicle, and will be directed to the ﬂoor. The system turns on by pressing either AUTO, air delivery mode, fan control, or by adjusting either temperature knob. Driver’s Side Temperature Knob: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature on the driver side of the vehicle. The display will show the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the driver. This knob can also adjust the passenger side temperature setting if the two are linked. Passenger Side Temperature Knob: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The display will show the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the passenger. The passenger temperature setting can be set to match and link to the driver’s temperature setting by pressing and holding the AUTO button for three seconds. When adjusting the driver side temperature setting, the passenger side temperature setting will follow and both arrows will appear on the display. The passenger side temperature setting also resets and re-links to the driver side temperature setting if the vehicle has been off for more than three hours. w 9 x (Fan Control): Press the arrows to increase or decrease the fan speed. The display shows the selected fan speed and the driver side temperature setting for ﬁve seconds. C (Air Delivery Mode Control): Press to change the direction of the airﬂow in the vehicle. The air delivery modes will appear on the display as it is being adjusted. The display shows the selected air delivery mode and the driver temperature setting for ﬁve seconds. To change the current air delivery mode, select one of the following: H (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets. ) (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument panel and ﬂoor outlets. Some air is directed toward the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 6 (Floor): Air is directed to the ﬂoor outlets. Some air also comes out of the defroster and side window outlets. The recirculation button cannot be selected in ﬂoor mode. - (Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the ﬂoor and windshield outlets. 0 (Front Defrost): Press the front defrost button to clear the windows of fog or frost more quickly. The system automatically controls the fan speed if defrost is selected from AUTO mode. If the outside temperature is 40°F (4°C) or warmer, the air conditioning compressor runs automatically to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. # A/C (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning system on or off. When the system is on, the system automatically begins to cool and dehumidify the air inside of the vehicle. The air conditioning symbol appears on the display when the air conditioning is on and turns off when the air conditioning is off. If the air conditioning is turned off while in front defrost or defog mode, the air conditioning symbol turns off, however, the A/C compressor remains on to help de-humidify the air inside the vehicle. If one of the other modes is selected, the compressor will then turn the A/C off until it is selected again or the AUTO button is pressed. To avoid fogging the inside glass on rainy and humid days at a temperature above freezing, press the air conditioning button to run the A/C compressor. Also it is best to avoid the use of the recirculation mode except when maximum air conditioning performance is needed or for short times to avoid exterior odors. 3-21 Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. < (Rear): Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the rear window defogger is on. The rear window defogger will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the button is pressed. If additional warming time is needed, press the button again. The heated mirrors will also come on when the rear window defogger is turned on. See Outside Heated Mirrors on page 2-34. Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass. These actions may damage the rear defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. You may notice a slight change in engine performance when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and turns on again. This is normal. @ (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation mode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that recirculation is on. This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle. Recirculation mode can be used with vent and bi-level modes, but it cannot be used with ﬂoor, defog or defrost modes. If recirculation mode is selected with ﬂoor, defog, or defrost modes, the indicator ﬂashes three times and turns off to indicate the selection is not available. The air conditioning compressor may also run while in recirculation mode. This is normal and helps to prevent window fogging. If the weather is cold and damp, the system may cause the windows to fog while using recirculation mode. If the windows do start to fog, select defog or defrost mode and increase fan speed. Recirculation mode, if selected, will be cleared when the engine is turned off. 3-22 Outlet Adjustment Use the air outlets located in the center and on the sides of the instrument panel to direct the airﬂow. Operation Tips (cid:129) Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow, or any other obstruction, such as leaves. (cid:129) When entering the vehicle in cold weather, select maximum blower speed for a few moments before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of the window. (cid:129) Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout the vehicle. (cid:129) Adding outside equipment to the front of the vehicle, such as hood-air deﬂectors, may affect the performance of the heating and air conditioning system. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding equipment to the outside of the vehicle. Rear Climate Control System Use the lower buttons on the rear seat audio to adjust the rear seat climate controls. The temperature of the air coming through the rear outlets is determined by the front passenger’s temperature setting. A. Fan Control B. Power Button C. Air Delivery Mode Control z 9 y (Fan): Press to increase or decrease the fan speed. z \ y (Mode): Press to change the direction of airﬂow in the rear seat area to either vent, bi-level or ﬂoor mode. 3-23 P (On/Off): Press to turn the rear climate controls on or off. The rear control only turns on if the front control is on and not in defrost mode. Climate Controls Personalization The vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC). Climate control settings can be stored and recalled for temperature, air delivery mode and fan speed for two different drivers. The personal choice settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the climate control will adjust to the last settings of the identiﬁed driver. The settings can also be changed by pressing one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver’s door. When adjustments are made, the new settings are automatically saved for the driver. Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to the warning lights and gages could prevent injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of the vehicle’s functions. Some warning lights come on brieﬂy when the engine is started to indicate they are working. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of the vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to indicate a problem with the vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on while driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that explains what to do. Follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly and even dangerous. 3-24 Instrument Panel Cluster Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel you have used, and many other things you will need to know to drive safely and economically. United States version shown, Canada similar 3-25 Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer the vehicle speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Press the trip stem located on the instrument panel cluster. If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer. Trip Odometer The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero. The odometer works together with the Driver Information Center (DIC). You can set a Trip A and Trip B odometer. See “Trip Information” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-42. The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Press the trip stem on the instrument panel cluster. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). 3-26 Safety Belt Reminders Driver Safety Belt Reminder Light When the engine is started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind the driver to fasten the safety belt, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled. The driver safety belt light comes on and stays on for several seconds, then ﬂashes for several more. Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light Several seconds after the engine is started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt. This only occurs if the passenger airbag is enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-59 for more information. The passenger safety belt light, located on the instrument panel, comes on and stays on for several seconds and then ﬂashes for several more. This chime and light are repeated if the passenger remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on. If the passenger safety belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on. 3-27 Airbag Readiness Light The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for possible malfunctions. If the light stays on it indicates there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-52. The airbag readiness light ﬂashes for a few seconds when the engine is started. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed immediately. { CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or comes on while driving, it means the airbag system might not be working properly. The airbags in the vehicle might not inﬂate in a crash, or they could even inﬂate without a crash. To help avoid injury, have the vehicle serviced right away. If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag Driver Information Center (DIC) message can also come on. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45 for more information. 3-28 Passenger Airbag Status Indicator The vehicle has the passenger sensing system. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-59 for important safety information. The rearview mirror has a passenger airbag status indicator. If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may inﬂate). If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag. If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing system. See your dealer/retailer for service. United States { CAUTION: Canada When the vehicle is started, the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol to let you know the status of the right front passenger frontal airbag. If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 3-28 for more information, including important safety information. 3-29 Charging System Light Voltmeter Gage This light comes on brieﬂy when the ignition key is turned to START, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it is working. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. The light should go out once the engine starts. If it stays on, or comes on while driving, there could be a problem with the charging system. A charging system message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) can also appear. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45 for more information. This light could indicate that there are problems with a generator drive belt, or that there is an electrical problem. Have it checked right away. If the vehicle must be driven a short distance with the light on, turn off accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner. 3-30 United States Canada When your engine is not running, but the ignition is on, this gage shows the battery’s state of charge in DC volts. When the engine is running, the gage shows the condition of the charging system. The gage may transition from a higher to lower or a lower to higher reading. This is normal. Readings between the low and high warning zones indicate the normal operating range. The voltmeter gage may also read lower when in fuel economy mode. This is normal. Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a large number of electrical accessories are operating in the vehicle and the engine is left idling for an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging system is not able to provide full power at engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow the charging system to create maximum power. You can only drive for a short time with the reading in either warning zone. If you must drive, turn off all unnecessary accessories. Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Brake System Warning Light When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will come on when you set your parking brake. The light will stay on if your parking brake does not release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means your vehicle has a brake problem. A chime may also sound when the light comes on. Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part is not working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. United States Canada This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition key to ON/RUN. If it does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push or the pedal may go closer to the ﬂoor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-27. { CAUTION: The brake system might not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to a crash. If the light is still on after the vehicle has been pulled off the road and carefully stopped, have the vehicle towed for service. 3-31 Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light For vehicles with the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator light then goes off. If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off. If the light comes on while driving, stop as soon as it is safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the ABS light stays on, or comes on again while driving, the vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, the vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, the vehicle does not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with the regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-31. For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45 for all brake related DIC messages. StabiliTrak® Service Light This light will come on brieﬂy when the engine is started. This light will come on if a problem is detected in the StabiliTrak® system. For more information see StabiliTrak® System on page 4-6. 3-32 StabiliTrak® Indicator Light Engine Coolant Temperature Gage This warning light should come on brieﬂy when the engine is started. During most driving conditions, this light will not come on. If the StabiliTrak® System is actively controlling the stability and/or traction of the vehicle, this light will ﬂash. This is normal. This light will come on if any portion of the system has been manually turned off or a problem is detected in the system. If your vehicle has a Driver Information Center, a message will appear also, see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45 and StabiliTrak® System on page 4-6 for more information. United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the red area, the engine coolant has overheated. If you have been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 5-34. 3-33 Tire Pressure Light For vehicles with a tire pressure light, this light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started and provides information about tire pressures and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. When the Light is On Steady This indicates that one or more of the tires is signiﬁcantly underinﬂated. A tire pressure message in the Driver Information Center (DIC), can accompany the light. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45 for more information. Stop and check the tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If a tire is underinﬂated, inﬂate to the proper pressure. See Tires on page 5-59 for more information. When the Light Flashes First and Then is On Steady This indicates that there could be a problem with the Tire Pressure Monitor System. The light ﬂashes for about a minute and stays on steady for the remainder of the ignition cycle. This sequence repeats with every ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-67 for more information. 3-34 Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It ensures that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. This light should come on when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it working. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the check engine light comes on and stays on, while the engine is running, this indicates that there is an OBD II problem and service is required. If the vehicle is continually driven with this Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. Being aware of the light can prevent more serious damage to the vehicle. This system assists the service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, the vehicle’s fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Notice: Modiﬁcations made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of the vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect the vehicle’s emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modiﬁcations to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by the vehicle warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 5-3. This light comes on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing: A misﬁre condition has been detected. A misﬁre increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. To prevent more serious damage to the vehicle: (cid:129) Reduce vehicle speed. (cid:129) Avoid hard accelerations. (cid:129) Avoid steep uphill grades. If towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible. If the light continues to ﬂash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light is still ﬂashing, follow the previous steps and see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. 3-35 (cid:129) Light On Steady: An emission control system malfunction has been detected on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. An emission system malfunction might be corrected by doing the following: (cid:129) Make sure the fuel cap is fully installed. See Filling the Tank on page 5-8. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. If the vehicle has been driven through a deep puddle of water, the vehicle’s electrical system might be wet. The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. (cid:129) Make sure to fuel the vehicle with quality fuel. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and can cause: stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. The dealer/retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to ﬁx any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. 3-36 (cid:129) Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or might begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things to know to help the vehicle pass an inspection: The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on with the engine running, or if the key is in ON/RUN and the light is not on. The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD II (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if the battery has recently been replaced or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD II system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. Oil Pressure Gage United States Canada The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range. 3-37 (cid:129) (cid:129) A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low oil pressure. Security Light For information regarding this light and the vehicle’s security system, see Content Theft-Deterrent on page 2-16. Cruise Control Light If your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC), this light will come on when the cruise control is set. See Cruise Control on page 3-10 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-45 for more information. { CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon as possible and have the vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. 3-38 Reduced Engine Power Light Highbeam On Light This light comes on when a noticeable reduction in the vehicle’s performance occurs. This light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-7 for more information. The vehicle can be driven at a reduced speed when the reduced engine power light is on, but acceleration and speed may be reduced. The performance may be reduced until the next time you drive your vehicle. If this light stays on, see your dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair. This light may also come on if there is a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If this happens, take the vehicle in for service as soon as possible. 3-39 Service All-Wheel Drive Light Check Gages Warning Light This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn on the ignition, as a check to show you it is working. The check gages light will come on brieﬂy when you are starting the engine. The service all-wheel drive light comes on to indicate that there may be a problem with the drive system and service is required. Malfunctions can be indicated by the system before any problem is apparent, which may prevent serious damage to the vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your dealer in correctly diagnosing a malfunction. If the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, check your coolant temperature and engine oil pressure gages to see if they are in the warning zones. Gate Ajar Light If this light comes on, the liftgate or liftglass is not completely shut. Close the liftgate or liftglass. Never drive with the liftgate or liftglass even partially open. 3-40 Fuel Gage United States Canada When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have remaining. An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: (cid:129) At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. It takes 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. The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition. Low Fuel Warning Light The light next to the fuel gage will come on brieﬂy when you are starting the engine. This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel. To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See Fuel on page 5-5. Check Gas Cap Light If your vehicle has this light, it will come on if your gas cap is not securely fastened.

Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge. If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD. If a label is added to a CD, or more than Care of the CD and DVD Player Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen. The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD and DVD player mechanism. Notice: one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
