The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle
more visible
to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL
are required on new vehicles sold
in Canada.
your DRL work with a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in daylight
when:
0 The ignition is on
0 The headlight switch is off, and
0 The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
At dusk, if the Twilight Sentinel feature is turned on, the exterior lights
will come on automatically and the low beams will change to full
brightness. At dawn, the exterior lights will go out and the low beams will
change to the reduced brightness
of DRL (if the headlight switch is off).
Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, snift the transaxle into “P” (Park).
The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of “P” (Park).

You can tell how far
you’ve gone since you
last set it back to zero.
To reset, push and hold
the button until it
zeros.
If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer will return to zero after
999.9 miles (1609
km). If your vehicle. is Canadian or Export, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 1999.9
km (1242 miles).
Odometer
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one will read the correct mileage. This is because your
car’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.
WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow

PREMIUM UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your tank. It works only
when the ignition is in the
“RUN” position.
Digital Gage
If the fuel level is within approximately one gallon (3.9 liters) of being full
the letter
“F” is shown.
If the fuel level is between 1 and 2 gallons (3.9 and 7.6 liters) from being
empty the letter
“E” is shown. If the fuel supply gets down to
approximately
1 gallon (3.9 liter) the “E” will flash, and the “FUEL
LEVEL VERY
LOW” message will appear in the Driver Information
Center
(DIC). (On the analog fuel gage, the “FUEL LEVEL VERY
LOW”
message will also appear.)
Here are a
few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads “F”.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“8 Gallons”, but it took more -- or less -- than the tank’s
remaining capacity to fill it.
The gage may change when you turn, stop, or speed up is normal.
