ENGINE

Check engine

Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’s emission control system. This system is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD II). This OBD II system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require towing.

What you should do if the check engine light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause your Check Engine light to

illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run poorly.)

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 gas cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the Check Engine 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 Check Engine 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

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to ensure your bulb is working. When this light turns on, check the fuel filler cap. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check Engine warning light. When the fuel filler cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. This period will vary depending on driving conditions.

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.

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to indicate a system check. Also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately.

BRAKE

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to indicate a system check. If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank (when the key is in the ON position). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion. The ignition should be in the OFF position while the vehicle is being refueled. When the gauge first indicates empty, there is a small amount of reserve fuel in the tank. When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

The arrow near the fuel pump icon indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Controls and features

HEADLAMP CONTROL

Rotate the headlamp control to the first position to turn on the parking lamps. Rotate to the second position to also turn on the headlamps.

Foglamp control (if equipped)

The foglamps can be turned on when the headlamp control is in either of the following positions:

• Parking lamps

• Low beams

Press the foglamp control to activate the foglamps. The foglamp indicator light will illuminate. When the highbeams are activated, the foglamps will not operate.

Press the foglamp control again to deactivate the foglamps.

Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)

Turns the headlamps on with a reduced output. To activate:

• the ignition must be in the ON position and

• the headlamp control is in the OFF or Parking lamps position.

OFF

Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during

inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system does not activate with your tail lamps and generally may not provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

Mode selector control

Controls the direction of the airflow to the inside of the vehicle.

The air conditioning compressor can operate in all modes except and . However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher.

Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you have stopped the vehicle.

• MAX A/C- Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier than A/C but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. When placed in MAX A/C, the air conditioning will operate at a full cool temperature. Therefore, the temperature control becomes non-functional.

Controls and features

• A/C-Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It is quieter than MAX A/C but not as economical. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers.

•

(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers. However, the air will not be cooled below the outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode.

• OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short periods of time only, use this mode to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

•

Operating tips

• In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in DEF

(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. For added customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel registers.

(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air through the floor ducts. However, the air will not be cooled below the outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode.

(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. For added customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defrost ducts. If the temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.

(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.

before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.

Controls and features

• 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.

• 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 put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the airflow to the back 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.

Controls and features

To aid in side defogging/demisting in cold weather.

1. Select

2. Set the temperature control to full heat

3. Set the fan speed to HI

4. Direct the outer panel vents towards to side windows

To increase 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.

Rear console climate controls (if equipped)

Depending on the equipment package of your vehicle, the rear console may be equipped with rear console audio/climate controls.

The instrument panel climate controls must be on in order for the rear console climate controls to work.

POWER DOWN BACK WINDOW

To operate the power down back window, the ignition switch must be in the Run or Accessory position.

The power down back window only has three window position selections:

• Fully open

• Vent

• Fully closed

All rear seat occupants and/or cargo must be properly restrained and clear of the back window opening before operating the

power down rear window.

Turn control counter-clockwise and release to lower window all the way to the full open position.

Turn control clockwise and release to raise the window all the way to the full closed position.

Controls and features

Push control once to move window (up or down) to the vent position (open approximately 2.00 inches for cab ventilation). If the window is already in the vent position and the control is pressed, no movement will occur.

Controls and features

Normal Operation

If an “up” command is selected and the ignition is switched to OFF or START during window travel, the window will:

1. stop if it is between the vent position and fully closed or

2. continue to move up to the vent position if it is between vent and fully

open. If a “down” or “vent” command is selected and the ignition is switched to

OFF or START during window travel, the window will move to the fully open or vent position, respectively, and then stop.

The “down” command is the only one allowed after the ignition has been switched to OFF or START while the window is moving.

Bounce-Back

When the back window is moving upward and an obstacle interferes with the window’s movement, the back window will reverse direction and move toward the fully open position. This is known as “bounce-back”.

Security Override

If, during a bounce-back condition, the control is held in the clockwise (“up”) direction for at least two seconds, the back window will travel up with no bounce-back protection. If the control is released before the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is switched to OFF or START, the back window will reverse direction with bounce-back re-enabled.

The following are possible reasons for using the security override:

• Ice on the window causing a restriction.

• Window unexpectedly reverses.

Position recovery mode

If the window fails to operate in “normal” operation mode, the control can be turned and held in the active position (up or down window direction) which will move the window in increments of approximately 15mm (0.6 inches) in the selected direction. (The “vent” feature is inoperable in this mode.) This feature allows the window to be closed. Once the window has reached the full closed, the window should again operate in “normal” operation mode. If the window still does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.
