2-112 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 ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index.
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 ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist can help you to determine
how close an object is to your rear bumper within a given
area, making parking easier.
The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, above the
rear window. It has three color
-coded lights that can be
seen through the rearview mirror or by turning around.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is
less than 3 MPH (5 km/h). When the system comes on,
the three lights on the display will illuminate to let you
know that the system is working. URPA senses how
close your vehicle is to an object. The distance is
determined by the four ultrasonic sensors located on
the rear bumper. When you shift into REVERSE (R) and an object is
detected, the following will occur in sequence
depending on the distance from the object:
At 5 feet (1.5 m) one amber light will be lit;
at 40 inches (1.0 m) both amber lights will be lit;
at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound
and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and
at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will flash.
URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot
detect objects that are above trunk level. In order for
the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.

2-115
If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also flash red while driving if a trailer is
attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on
the back of, or hanging out of your trunk. The light
will continue to flash until the trailer or the object is
removed and your vehicle is driven forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h).
It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free
of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or materials such as
paint or the system may not work properly. If after
cleaning the rear bumper and driving forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to flash red,
see your dealer. For cleaning instructions, see ªCleaning,
Outside of Your Vehicleº in the Index.It may also flash red if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up a
vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check
for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you.
Climate Control Panel
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-zone electronic
climate control system. This system can automatically
adjust and control temperature, fan speed, air delivery
mode, air conditioning operation and air intake. You can
use the AUTO (automatic) setting or override the
automatic operation by manually altering the settings.If your vehicle is equipped with the climate control
personalization feature, you will be able to program
your preferred climate control settings and recall them
using your remote keyless entry transmitter. See
ªClimate Control Personalizationº in the Index.
TEMP (Temperature): These knobs adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Turn a TEMP
knob clockwise to increase the temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.
Both TEMP knobs adjust from 60 F (16 C) to
90 F (32 C) independent of each other. It is
recommended that the passenger's setting stay no more
than four degrees warmer or cooler in temperature from
the driver's setting.

3-3
Press the driver's side TEMP knob to turn the system on
and off. The passenger's side TEMP knob only turns off
the system for the passenger's side and the rear seat area.
The passenger's side TEMP knob controls both the
temperature for the right front passenger and the rear seat
area. If the passenger's side system is turned off, the driver's
side will control the temperature of the entire vehicle.
Once the system is turned off, fresh air will continue to
flow through the vehicle, and the system will try to
maintain the previously set temperature.
!~
(Fan): This setting adjusts the fan speed. Press the
up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to
decrease fan speed.
MODE: Press the right or left arrow to deliver air
through the floor ducts, instrument panel or windshield
outlets. The climate control system will stay in the
selected mode until the MODE switch, the DEFROST
button or the AUTO button is pressed again. Press the
left or right arrow to cycle through the following
available modes.
(Vent): This setting directs airflow through the
middle instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle is
equipped with a driver's side lap cooler which will also
come on when the upper vents are being used.
(Bi-Level): This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cooler air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the four instrument panel
outlets while warmer air is directed to the floor ducts.
(Defog): This setting directs air to the floor ducts
and toward the windshield.
(Floor): This setting directs air through the floor
ducts. Some air is diverted to the windshield to
minimize fogging.
FRONT (Defrost): Press this button to quickly
remove fog or frost from the windshield. This setting
sends most of the airflow to the windshield with only a
small amount to the floor ducts.

(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or
limit odors entering your vehicle. Press this button again
to turn off the recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.
A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the
air conditioning compressor on and off. The system will
cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
When the compressor is off, A/C OFF appears on the
climate control panel display. Press the button again and
the compressor will turn back on.
The A/C OFF feature is not available in the
defrost mode.
AUTO (Automatic): The AUTO button will turn on the
system and automatically adjust the fan speed, air
delivery mode and temperature to your previously
programmed settings.When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor ducts, the instrument panel or windshield
outlets. The fan speed will vary as the system maintains
the selected temperature setting.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75F (24C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the TEMP knob to adjust the temperature if
necessary. If you choose 60F (16C), the system will
remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not
regulate fan speed. If you choose 90F (32C), the system
will remain at that maximum heating setting and will not
regulate fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will
not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor cycles on and off when needed to cool the
air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need for
heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor ducts. As
the interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the
fan speed will decrease. To maintain interior comfort,
the airflow may move to the instrument panel air outlets
and floor ducts. On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the airflow may come out of the instrument panel outlets
to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
