Low fuel

Illuminates as an early reminder of a low fuel condition indicated on the fuel gauge (refer to Fuel gauge in this chapter for more information). When refueling, after the light comes on, the amount of fuel that is added will be less than the advertised capacity since there is fuel still in the tank. The ignition must be in the ON position for this lamp to illuminate. The lamp will also illuminate for several seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON position regardless of the fuel level to ensure your bulb is working.

Charging system

Illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position and the engine is off. The light also illuminates when the battery is not charging properly, requiring electrical system service.

Traction ControlY active (if equipped)

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position. It also illuminates when the Traction

Turn signal

Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If one or both of the indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out turn signal bulb. Refer to Bulbs in the Maintenance and care chapter.

Instrumentation

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to ensure the circuit is functional. If the light remains on 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.

Air bag readiness

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned ON. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on.

Engine oil pressure

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position and the engine is off. Illuminates when the oil pressure falls below the normal range. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance and care chapter.

ABS

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to ensure the circuit is functional. Also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, or remains on after releasing the parking brake, seek service immediately.

BRAKE

Instrumentation

One of the following conditions may exist:

• low brake fluid level in the reservoir.

• Brake force distribution system failure. The ABS light will also

illuminate if this condition is present.

O/D off

Illuminates when the Transmission Control Switch (TCS), refer to

Overdrive control in the Controls and Features chapter, has been

pushed turning the transmission overdrive function OFF. When the light is on, the transmission does not operate in the overdrive mode, refer to the Driving chapter for transmission function and operation.

The light may also flash steadily if a transmission malfunction is detected. If the light does not come on when the Transmission Control Switch is depressed or if the light flashes steadily, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, damage to the transmission could occur.

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.

O/D

OFF

Instrumentation

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.

Instrumentation

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.

Compass zone/calibration adjustment

Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and high voltage lines.

For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.

1. Turn ignition to the ON position.

2. Start the engine.

3. Determine your magnetic zone by referring to the zone map.

4. From Info menu, select the Compass/Outside Temperature function.

Instrumentation

5. Press and hold the RESET control until the message center display changes to show the current zone setting.

6. Release the reset control, then slowly press down again.

7. Press the SETUP control repeatedly until the correct zone setting for your geographic location is displayed on the message center. To exit the zone setting mode press and release the RESET control.

8. Press the RESET control to start the compass calibration function.

9. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE indicator changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETED. This will take up to three circles to complete calibration.

Select this function from the INFO menu to display your average fuel economy in liters/100 km or miles/gallon.

If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled (miles traveled by gallons used), your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:

• your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up

• differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

• variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another

• rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 liter (gallon)

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, select the desired position.

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.

Controls and features

• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than 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.

• Do not place objects under the front seat that may 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.

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

Cooling your vehicle with outside air

Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less economical than using recirculated air. It also has less cooling capacity.

In order to cool your vehicle using outside air:

1. Turn the mode selector to

A/C

2. Press

. The indicator light next to the

, or .

A/C

control will illuminate.

3. Slide the temperature control knob to the left.

4. Turn the fan speed control to the position of your choice.

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 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, do not 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, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.

Controls and features

• 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.

• 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.

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

1. Select

2. Set the temperature control to full heat

3. Set the fan speed to High

4. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows

To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel vents.

Controls and features

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

Rear passenger compartment climate control system (if equipped)

This system allows the rear seat occupants to adjust their climate comfort level.

The rear seat climate control system is controlled from the main climate control system on the instrument panel:

MAX

A/C

OFF

FRONT

REAR

REAR CTL

• If the main climate control system on the instrument panel is set to OFF, the rear climate control system will also be off.

• If the rear passenger compartment climate control lever is set to OFF, the rear climate controls will be off.

• 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:

• Cool temperature range settings allow the air to be distributed through the overhead registers.

• Mild (mid temperature range settings) allow the air to be distributed through both the overhead registers and the floor register.

• Warm temperature range settings allow the air to be distributed through the floor register.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER (IF EQUIPPED)

The rear defroster control is located on the instrument panel.

Press the defroster control to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog.

• The small LED will illuminate when the defroster is activated.

The engine must be running to operate the rear window defroster.

Controls and features

The defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the ignition is turned to the OFF position. To manually turn off the defroster before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.

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.

Controls and features

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.

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.

Controls and features

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.

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.

Controls and features

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.

OFF

Controls and features

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 or false alarms.

Power Sliding Door (if equipped)

The overhead console consists of the Power Sliding Door (PSD) ON/OFF control (with indicator light) and the right and left hand side PSD control(s).

With this option, you can open and close the sliding door(s) with the controls inside your vehicle. With the remote keyless entry system, you can also operate the PSD with the remote transmitter. Refer to Remote Entry System in this chapter.

The PSD feature has control(s) accessible by passengers in the second row seating positions. The control(s) are located on the trim panel in front of the sliding door. Press and release the control to open the PSD on that side of the vehicle.

Press the left side of the ON/OFF control in the overhead console to turn off the PSD. This prevents opening the PSD using the rear seat control(s) or the handle; but the door(s) can be opened manually with the handle. The controls in the overhead console for right or left side and the Remote Entry System will remain functional with the system shut OFF.
