Instrumentation
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 good quality fuel 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.
Door ajar
Illuminates when the ignition is in the ON or START position and any door is open.

Compass display (if equipped)
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. 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 zone/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/calibration adjustment.

Controls and features
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
Operating tips
In humid weather, select before driving. This will prevent your windshield from fogging. 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.
Don’t 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 bottom of the windshield under the hood).
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 your air conditioner as you would normally.
When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to not place them 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.
To get maximum heating performance from the second row floor vents (located under the front row seats), place the front mode selector control in the setting.
If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C, but not in any other mode when the A/C control is selected, this may indicate that the
passenger compartment air filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced.

If the rear fan control on the main climate control system is set in any of the fan speed positions, air will be distributed from the rear seat registers at the corresponding speed.
If the rear fan control on the main climate control system is set to REAR CTL, rear seat passengers can control their own fan speed and temperature and upper or lower air distribution.

Controls and features
The rear climate system fan speed control allows rear passengers to control the volume of air that is distributed from the rear registers.
The temperature/mode selection control allows rear passengers to select the temperature, as well as whether the air is distributed from the overhead registers or the floor register, or a mix between the two.
The temperature/mode selection control allows you to select any temperature setting for your desired comfort level and gives you three choices for air distribution:
It is important to note that whenever the temperature/mode selection control is set to a specific temperature setting, the system automatically determines the air distribution location:

Radio frequency information
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Communications (CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz FM 87.9, 88.1–107.1, 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
66
Controls and features
(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.
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. It is the drivers 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.
67
Controls and features
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. The weather may also affect the function of RSS. RSS may have reduced performance, or be activated in inclement weather.
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 3 seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the tone will sound again.
68
Controls and features
A reverse sensing control allows the driver to enable and disable the RSS
OFF
when the ignition is ON. The reverse sensing control indicator momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned ON.
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.
If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles.

SECURILOCKY PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the correct key will be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key reprogramming.
The SecuriLocky passive anti-theft system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle’s engine can only be started with the two special SecuriLocky electronically coded keys provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLocky key is read by the SecuriLocky passive anti-theft system. If the SecuriLocky key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLocky passive anti-theft system, the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the SecuriLocky key identification code does not match the code stored in the system or if a SecuriLocky key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the vehicle’s engine will not operate.
