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 Exterior bulbs in the Maintenance and care chapter.

Speed control

This light comes on when either the COAST/SET or RES/ACCEL controls are pressed. It turns off when the cruise cancel control is pressed, the brake is applied or the ignition is turned to the OFF position.

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.

CRUISE

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped)

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position. If the light remains on, continues to flash 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.

Instrumentation

Service engine soon

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). The 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 Service Engine Soon 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 Service Engine Soon light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service Engine Soon 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 Service Engine Soon 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 Service Engine Soon light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

SERVICE

ENGINE

SOON

Page 12

Instrumentation

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.

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.

Low washer fluid

Illuminates when the ignition is turned to the START position and when the windshield washer fluid is low.

Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic message center display

Use the following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your actual highway fuel economy. This procedure requires the vehicle speed control system to be set to highway speeds and 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. Set the speed control. Refer to Speed control in the Controls and

features chapter.

2. Select AVG ECONOMY.

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.

5. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.

It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.

The air conditioning operates in MAX A/C and when the A/C control is depressed. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher.

Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you have stopped the vehicle.

Under normal 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. Prior to turning off the ignition, in snowy or dirty conditions, ensure that the climate control system is turned OFF.

• MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier than A/C modes but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will automatically engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher and

Operating tips

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

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.

• Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the airflow to the second row seat floor ducts.

• 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.

• 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 odor and particulate air filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced.

conditioning operation

The air conditioning can operate in all modes except OFF. It will also operate only when required when AUTOMATIC has been selected. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher.

Under normal conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than MAX or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet duct. Prior to turning off the ignition, in snowy or dirty conditions, ensure that the climate contol system is turned OFF.

Cooling your vehicle with outside air using override controls

Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air using just the A/C override control is quieter but less economical than using both the A/C and the MAX control. It also has less cooling capacity and is not recommended for high outside temperatures.

In order to cool your vehicle with outside air using the override controls:

1. Select the override control (floor).

(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.

• To reduce 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 second row seat floor ducts.

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

• 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 odor and particulate air filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced.

Keep the CD changer door closed. Coins and foreign objects will damage the CD player and void your audio system warranty.

Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into the CD changer as that jamming may occur.

Troubleshooting the CD changer (if equipped)

The laser beam used in the compact disc player is harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the case.

If sound skips:

• You may be traveling on a rough road, playing badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty. Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the player.

If your changer does not work, it may be that:

• A disc is already loaded where you want to insert a disc.

• The disc is inserted with the label surface downward.

• The disc is dusty or defective.

• The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C (140°F). Allow the

player to cool down before operating.

• A disc with format and dimensions not within industry standards is inserted.

Cleaning compact discs

Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to the edge. Do not use circular motion.

CD and CD changer care

• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended

periods of time.

• Do not insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.

Page 80

Controls and features

Cleaning cassette player

Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to 12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.

Cassette and cassette player care

• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.

• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or

extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole and turning the hub.

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.

• Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not

being played.

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.

Page 81

Controls and features

• 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.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT

The power point is an additional power source for electrical accessories. There are two auxiliary power points:

Interior Lamps

Dome lamps

The front dome lamp is located overhead between the driver and passenger seats.

The dome lamp will stay on if the control is moved to the ON position. When the control is in the middle position, the lamp will only come on when a door is opened. If the control is moved to the OFF position, the lamp will not come on at all.

The dome lamp will illuminate whenever a front door is opened. If either front door has been opened from the outside, the lamp will remain on for 15 seconds after the door is shut. If any other door has been opened from the inside, the lamp will shut off immediately after the door is closed.

Map lamps (if equipped)

The map lamps are located on the overhead console and the side roof panels. Press the lamp lens to activate the lamps.
