GETTING STARTED

SEAT BELT SYSTEMS

Lap/Shoulder Belts

• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your abdo-

men. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen
the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt
reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a collision.

• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so

that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any
slack in the shoulder bel t.

Seat Belt Pretensioner

• The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to

remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.

• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

WARNING!

• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are

not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a

collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear
your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

• A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you

could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.

• A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no

protection. Inspect the sea t belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or
modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

Air Bag System Components

Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:

• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)

• Air Bag Warning Light

• Steering Wheel and Column

• Instrument Panel

• Knee Impact Bolsters

• Advanced Front Air Bags

• Supplemental Side Air Bags

• Supplemental Knee Air Bags

• Front and Side Impact Sensors

• Seat Belt Pretenioners

• Seat Belt Buckle Switch

• Seat Track Position Sensors

Advanced Front Air Bags

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a

supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplement-

ing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of
injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that

may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, and angle offset collisions.

• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air

Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a
severe initial deceleration.

• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and

damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should
have deployed.

• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to

help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.

• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision.The Occupant

Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system elec trical components.

12

GETTING STARTED

• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approxi-

mately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned
to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off.
If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously.A single chime will sound to alert
you if the light comes on again af ter initial startup.

• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system when-

ever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.

• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight

seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on,
or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.

NOTE:

If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags
may not be ready to inf late for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in

another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your

authorized dealer.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supple-

mental Restraint System (SRS).

13

GETTING STARTED

Supplemental Knee Air Bags

This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru­ment panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts,
pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.

The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions,
the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have
air bags.

• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front

Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.

• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or

steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.

Supplemental Side Air Bags

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located

in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)

located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG
or AIRBAG.The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side impact events.

14

GETTING STARTED

• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts

and certain rollover events (if equipped with rollover sensing). The Occupant Restraint
Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a
particular side impact or rollover event (if equipped with rollover sensing) is appropri­ate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good
indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.

WARNING!

• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window.

Sit upright in the center of the seat.

• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be

severely injured or killed.

• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.

The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.

• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable

Curtains (SABICs). Do not st ack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs.The trim covering above the side windows where
the SABIC and its deployment path are located should remain free from any
obstructions.

• This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for the SABICs to work as

intended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter t he
roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks
that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for inst allation on the
vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.

• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air

Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.

15

GETTING STARTED

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.

Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

NOTE:

• For additional information, refer to

• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-

LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH,

which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.

• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors.

The rear center seating position has a top tether anchor only.

Latch Weight Limit

You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and
the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat bel t and tether anchor instead of the
LATCH system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

Locating The LATCH Lower Anchorages

www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.

The lower anchorages are round bars
that are found at the rear of the seat cush­ion where it meets the seatback. They are
just visible when you lean into the rear seat
to install t he child restraint.You will easily
feel them if you run your finger along the
gap between the seatback and seat cush­ion.

16

Lower Anchors

GETTING STARTED

Locating The Tether Anchorages

In addition, there are tether strap an­chors located behind each rear seatback,
near the floor.

Center Seat LATCH

Do not inst all a child restraint in the center
position using the LATCH system. Use the
seat belt and tether anchor to install a child
seat in the center seating position.

Tether Anchorage Locations

Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors

NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.

1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so

that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages

in the selected seating position.

3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage.

See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into

the seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.

Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat

5.

at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable Auto­matic Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

Tether Weight Limit

Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.

17

GETTING STARTED

To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:

1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.

2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”

3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.

4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled
all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor.Then, allow the webbing to retract back
into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means
the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.

5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to
pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.

Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint

6.
while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat

8.
at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):

When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to
the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Tether Anchorage Inst allation

1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat.

2. If your vehicle is equipped with adjust­able rear head restraints, raise the head
restraint, and where possible, route the
tether strap under the head restraint
and between the two posts. If not pos­sible, lower the head restraint and pass
the tether strap around the outboard
side of the head restraint.

3. Attach the tether strap hook of the
child restraint to the top tether anchor­age and remove slack in the tether strap
according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat
will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside

the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become
so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The
child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with

a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or
death to infants in this position.

• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to

failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child re­straint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and

possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does

not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the
head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

WARNING!

The head restraints for all occupants must be properly adjusted prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the vehicle
is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.

Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.

While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contrib­utes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.

The engine oil installed in t he engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted
as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in t he engine or damage may
result.

The power sunroof and power sun blind switches are located in the overhead console.

WARNING!

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.

Never leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle or in a location accessible to chil­dren. Occupants, particularly una ttended children, can become entrapped by the
power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may
result in serious injury or death.

• In a collision, there is greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open

sunroof.You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured too.

• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,

other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.

To Open

• Pull the power sunroof switch for approximately one second and the sunroof will stop

at the vented position. Pull the power sunroof switch a second time for approximately
one second and release, the sunroof will open fully, t hen stop automatically. This is

EURO TWIN CLUTCH SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION

•

This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Euro Twin Clutch Six Speed Transmis­sion. This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster AutoStick® shifting.

• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel

exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is nor­mal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.

NOTE:

• Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission.

An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions
are needed.

• The first few shif ts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi-

tion, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).

At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the

•

transmission changes gears. These noises are normal and will not damage the transmission.

• Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short

period of time. This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.

34

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Shifting The Transmission

• The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in

the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and

move the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.

• Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.

• This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from REVERSE to DRIVE or

DRIVE to REVERSE, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature
helps protect your transmission from damage.

NOTE:

• When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in

place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold
the car in position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not
applied after a short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the
vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill.

• During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a

traditional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the Euro Twin Clutch Transmission
design that avoids power loss during up-shifts.

Instrument Cluster Messages

Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster to alert the driver when certain
unusual conditions occur.These messages are described below.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.

37

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is

open or the tank is being filled.

• Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and

federal fire regulations and may cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn on.

• A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a

vehicle. You could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while
filling.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving
conditions.

ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and
compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the
intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting
the oversteer or understeer condition.

ESC Operating Modes

The ESC system has two available operating modes:

Full On

This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started the system
will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC should
only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific reasons as noted.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Low Fuel Warning Light

This warning light indicates when the fuel level reaches approximately 2.0 gal (7.8L).
This light will turn on and a single chime will sound.

- Charging System Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.

We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

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 has been 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. Accordingly, 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 significantly 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.

IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.

NOTE:

AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES
BEFORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.

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.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min­ute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse­quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator
is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as in­tended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTE:

Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera­ture change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pres­sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket 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.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine
off immediately.

We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant.

- Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or
remain on continuously. Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting”
in the OM on your DVD for further information.

- Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake sys­tem reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is
at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the

91

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the
light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to
the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal
pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated
by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec­tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is re­quired.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN 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.

The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision. Have
the vehicle checked immediately.

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illumi­nate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
not require towing.

If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you
do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Change Engine Oil

• Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Change

Engine Oil” message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a
single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine
oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change
interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.

• Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition

switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release the MENU button.To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing
the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (do not start the engine).

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

NOTE:

If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking
the appropriate action:

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase

engine idle speed.

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down an overheat condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine

cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to

floor and the Fan control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.

• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.

Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

95

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads hot, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains
on hot, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pres­sure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
