Light turns on solid:

Temporary malfunctions may cause the light to illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely
tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly
installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles
without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light
should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed
by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.
You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior
floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Check fuel cap

Illuminates when the fuel cap is not
installed correctly. Check the fuel
cap for proper installation. When
the fuel filler cap is properly
re-installed, the light(s) will turn off
after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with
the check fuel cap light on, can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check
Engine warning light.

It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an
improperly installed fuel filler cap.

For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and
care chapter.

Instrumentation

Compass

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antennas.
Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also
affect compass accuracy.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibration

adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

Compass zone adjustment

1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The reverse sensing system (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of
obstacles near the rear bumper when the reverse gear is selected.

To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the

limitations on the reverse sensing system described below.
Reverse sensing is only an assist for some (generally large and fixed)
objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at “parking speeds” of
approximately 6 km/h (4 mph) or less. The weather may also affect the
function of RSS. RSS may have reduced performance, or be activated
in inclement weather. It is the driver’s responsibility for ensuring that
their path is clear when operating the vehicle.

To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in

reverse and when using the reverse sensing system.

This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or

moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to
assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly
those close to the ground.

The RSS will assist the driver in detecting certain objects while the
vehicle slowly moves in reverse at speeds less than 6 km/h (4 mph). The
RSS is not effective at speeds greater than 6 km/h (4 mph) and may not
detect certain angular or moving objects.

Controls and features

The reverse sensing system detects
obstacles within approximately 1.8
meters (5.9 ft.) of the rear bumper
with a decreased coverage area at
the outer corners of the bumper,
(refer to the figures for approximate
zone coverage areas). As you move
closer to the obstacle, the rate of
the tone increases. When the
distance to the obstacle is less than

25.0 cm (10 in.), the tone will sound
continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25.0 cm (10 in.) from the side
of the vehicle, the tone will sound
for only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.

The reverse sensing system is
automatically enabled when the gear
selector is placed in R (Reverse)
and the ignition is ON. A reverse
sensing control allows the driver to
disable the reverse sensing system
only when the ignition is ON, and
the gear selector is in R (Reverse).

The OFF indicator remains
illuminated when the system is disabled. The system defaults to ON
every time the reverse gear is selected. Press the control to disable or
enable the system.

The indicator will remain illuminated to indicate a failure of the reverse
sensing system.

Always keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free
from dirt, snow and ice (do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects). These elements may cause the system to operate
inaccurately.

Operating tips

• In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the
windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as
desired.

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.

• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe”
through the outside air inlet duct.

• Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.

Controls and features

• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the climate
control system as desired.

• Do not place objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.

• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.

moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.

Operating tips

or
Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control
system as desired.

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather

conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather

conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.

• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control

system should be left in any position other than OFF or
the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the
outside air inlet duct.

• Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate

control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.

• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm

weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the climate
control system as desired.

Controls and features

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.

• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can

block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.

To aide in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:

1. Select

2. Set the temperature control to full heat

3. Select A/C

4. Set the fan speed to High

5. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows

In order to increase the airflow to the outer panel vents, close the
central panel vents.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

Auxiliary climate controls (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with auxiliary climate controls which are
located in the overhead console of the first row and in the headliner for
second row seating. The auxiliary climate control feature provides
increased capacity to quickly heat or cool your vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with a manual heating and air conditioning
system, the auxiliary climate controls are dependent on the main climate
control system. If the main climate control system is in the OFF position,
the auxiliary climate controls will not work.

If your vehicle is equipped with a DEATC system, the auxiliary climate
controls are independent of the main climate control system. If the main
climate control system is in the OFF position, the auxiliary climate
controls will still work. However, the A/C function will not operate unless
the A/C control has been selected on the main climate control system.

Radio frequency information

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio
and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies
are:

AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz

FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Not all frequencies are used in a given area.

Radio reception factors

Three factors can affect radio reception:

• Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.

• Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

• Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.

The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it
will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.
