WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.
Emission system/Check engine:
The Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.
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 may not be properly installed. Continued driving with this light on may cause the Emission system/Check engine warning light to come on. Refer to Fuel Filler Cap in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle:
Do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF position. Do not drive with recirculation engaged.
• In order to allow the vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet
vents, do not leave the air flow selector in the OFF position when the vehicle is parked.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• With the ignition in the OFF position after operating the vehicle, some
vehicle sounds related to the climate control system may be heard.
• Approximately two minutes after key off, the air distribution doors
may adjust their positions as part of the normal operating process.
• Demisters, located at the far left and right sides of the dash, usually
blow out a small amount of airflow in order to reduce side window fogging.
• Outboard panel registers, located at the left and right sides of the
dash, blowout a small amount of airflow when in Floor, Floor/Defrost, and Defrost modes. This also reduces side window fogging.
24
