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.
Check engine
Illuminates briefly to ensure the system is functional. 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 and will not require towing.
Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate. Examples are:
The vehicle has run out of fuel.
Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
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 fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the 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.
10
Instrument Cluster
If the 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
Illuminates when the fuel cap is not installed correctly. Check the fuel cap for proper installation. When the fuel filler cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check Engine warning light.
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 specifications chapter.

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.

When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the DATC directs the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some airflow out of the defroster, demister outlets and outer instrument panel registers in order to reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is not warm enough to provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed and the airflow will be directed to the windshield or to the floor. In approximately 3
1

In humid weather, select
and 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.
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.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD) on each headlamp body. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the horizontal direction (left/right) and the vertical position (up/down).
A non-zero bubble reading does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If your vehicle is not positioned on a level surface, the slope will be included in the level indicator. Therefore, vertical headlamp adjustment should be performed only when beam direction appears to be incorrect.
The horizontal aim must be adjusted first. You will need one 4 mm wrench or socket to make the adjustments.
If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle’s front structure should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.
Horizontal aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. With the hood open, remove the protective cover, then locate the horizontal indicator and the adjusting screw.
3.Usea4mmwrench or socket to turn the horizontal adjusting screw until the end of the shaft within the clear tube lines up with the “0” reference mark on the indicator when viewed directly from above.

The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a bright clear view when backing up.
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously recalibrating due to magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle.
The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels are experienced (such as steel bridges). The compass will return to normal operation upon leaving the magnetized area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are placed very near the compass the display will change to “C” for 15 seconds, then display all segments until the magnetized item is removed. If a “C” is displayed, refer to Compass 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 adjustment.

Fuel Econ Avg
Select this function from the FUEL control 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)
Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic message center display
The following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your actual highway fuel economy. Since this procedure requires the vehicle speed control system to be set to highway speeds, it must be run only on suitable roadways where long distance speed control can be safely maintained.
You may notice gradual improvement in fuel economy over the course of your vehicle’s break-in period (approximately 1 600 kilometers [1 000 miles]).
1. Press the FUEL control to display
miles to empty. Press again to display average fuel economy.
2. Set the speed control. Refer to
Speed control in this chapter.
3. Press the RESET control to clear the system memory.
Actual highway fuel economy is now displayed. This current average measure will change as the speed control system changes the engine speed to maintain a constant vehicle speed. This is most noticeable in hilly environments.
4. Drive the vehicle at least 8 km (5 miles) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.

System warnings
System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your vehicle’s operating systems.
In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will cycle the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for 4 seconds.
The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the RESET control and clearing the warning message.
Warning messages that have been reset are divided into two categories:
They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset.
They will not reappear until an ignition OFF-RUN cycle has been
completed.
This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within the vehicle.
