Engine coolant temperature

Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let it cool.

Never remove the coolant

recovery cap while the engine is running or hot.

Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and care chapter. If light stays on or continues to turn on after the vehicle warms up, have your vehicle serviced.

This light also illuminates briefly when the ignition key is turned to RUN.

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. This system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The 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 RUN position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be

Instrumentation

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 On Board Diagnostics System 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. These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane. 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.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the RUN position to ensure the circuit is functional. If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on,

• Recirculation control

(air recirculation) — Used to manually enable or disable the operation of the recirculated air operation in all modes except defrost. The use of recirculated air when the air conditioning is operating helps to reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle in very hot conditions. Recirculated air may also help to keep undesired outside odors from reaching the vehicle interior. It is recommended to allow the DATC system to automatically control the selection of outside or recirculated air.

The recirculation control cannot be selected in the defrost mode, as interior fogging may occur.

In floor and floor/defrost modes, the DATC system will automatically return to outside air to help reduce window fogging. When the recirculation air control is selected, the amount of time in manual recirculated air depends on the ambient temperature.

When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically for existing conditions. You may override the automatic recirculated air operation at any time. To manually control the recirculated air operation and cancel automatic recirculated air operation, press the recirculated air control. When the recirculated air is manually controlled in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator light will remain lit. To return to full automatic recirculated air operation, press AUTO.

Do not leave the DATC system in recirculated air operation for extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold/damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear windows.

When floor/defrost is selected, if the outside temperature is about 2°C (35°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce window fogging. For added customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts. When floor/defrost is selected, the system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window fogging. Recirculation and A/C override controls can be selected.

(defrost) — Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers. If the outside temperature is about 2°C (35°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce window fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override controls cannot be selected.

Electric window heaters

(heated wiper rest) — Located at the base of the windshield, this feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the feature is in operation.

With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5°C (40°F). The feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time. However, the automatic feature will be enabled each time the engine is started.

In cold, dry conditions where wet snow or ice is not present it is acceptable to manually deselect the operation of this feature.

The feature will run continuously unless a low battery condition is detected, or unless the feature is manually deselected, and will only activate when the vehicle engine is running (to prevent excessive drain of the vehicle battery).

The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not moving. The readings may not agree with temperatures given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.

Operating tips

• In humid weather, select and

before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.

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

• DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear windows.

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

Page 41

Controls and features

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

• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air conditioner as you would normally.

• If the air conditioner works well with the recirculation feature on, but not in the outside air mode, this may indicate that the cabin air filter needs to be replaced.

• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and possibly damage your 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.

Audio system warranties and service

Refer to the “Warranty Guide” for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or a qualified technician.
