Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls and Radio System Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings
as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see “Climate Control
Personalization” and “Radio Personalization” in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
when your vehicle is running unless an overriding
Driver Information Center message appears. You can
change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
pressing the ENGMET (EnglisWmetric) button on the
instrument panel. For more information on the Driver
Information Center, see “Driver Information Center
Messages” in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine
is
first stared after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected.
This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by vehicle speed.

Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that
are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed in English.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING - 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE - 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At the
point that features are disabled, this message is displayed. It is used to convey that the vehicle is trying
to save the charge in the battery. Turn
off unnecessary

appears immediately after starting, it
is possible that the
generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should recharge while driving but may take a few hours
to do
so. Consider using an auxiliary charger (be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions) to boost the
battery after returning home or to a final destination. If
this message appears while driving or after starting your
vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to
determine the cause of this problem.

within
200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter

be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index
on how to
