Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH - 8: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the electrical
system checked by your dealership.
You can reduce the
charging overload by using the accessories.
Turn on the
lamps and radio, set the climate control on
AUTO and the
fan speed on

You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the
INFiO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
9 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message
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.
To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce
the load on the electrical system by turning
off the
accessories.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC
by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5
to 15.5 volts.
CHANGE BRAKE PADS - 125: This message is used
to notify you that the brake pads may have worn down.
A sensor is connected to the brake pads and is triggered
when they wear to a certain point. Have the front and
rear brakes serviced by your dealer as soon as possible.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when
it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID - 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in
ON to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See “Brake
System Warning Light” in the Index.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 2: This message will
appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a technician as soon
as possible.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed
within
200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After
an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must
be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index
on how to
reset
it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns. To see the display, press the INFO
button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears.
If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your
current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL
message. Always keep a written record of the mileage
and date when
you changed your oil. For more
information, see the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If
you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life
is
gone and you should change the oil right away. The
system doesn't check
how much oil you have, so you'll
still have to check for that.
To see how, see "Engine Oil"
in the Index. The
system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the
vehicle has been driven
7,500 miles (12 500 km), it will
indicate to change the oil. If you drive
in a dusty area,
you should change your oil every
3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first)
unless the display indicates changing it sooner.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFO button. Then press and hold the INFO RESET
button until the display shows
100% ENGINE
OIL LIFE.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it
set on
AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor outlets
for a few seconds. This is normal. This is to remove hot
air from the air outlets.
As the air is cooled, the airflow
will move through the air conditioning outlets.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will start at reduced fan speeds until warm air is
available. The length of reduction depends on the
outside air temperature, engine coolant temperature
or the time since the engine was last started.
As the
coolant warms up, the blower fan speed will gradually
increase and air will flow from the heater outlets, with
some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under
most normal conditions. If you select defrost mode or a
manual fan speed, this function will be skipped.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember
the control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition
cycle cancels recirculation. Defrost will change to
automatic operation when the ignition is shut
off and
then turned back on.
Electronic Solar Sensor Electronic Solar Sensor
The sensor monitors the sun’s solar radiation and is
located near the end of the instrument panel near
the windshield.
The climate control panel uses this information to
automatically make
the necessary temperature and
airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort. The
climate control system may supply cooler air to one side
of your vehicle, if that side is facing the sun. Be careful
not to put anything over the sensor on top
of the dash.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one
of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work
the brakes at each front wheel and at
both rear wheels.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster
than any driver could. The computer is programmed to
make the most of available tire and road conditions. As you
brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time
you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won't have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stor>, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
Using Anti-Lock
Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let anti-lock work for you.
You may hear the
anti-lock pump or motor operate, and feel the brake
pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Traction Control System
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits
wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. The system operates only if it senses that
one or both
of the front wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When
this happens, the
system works the front brakes and reduces engine
power
to limit wheel spin.
You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
