2-34 Resetting the Power Sliding Door
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at
all because of the following conditions:

A low voltage or dead battery,

disconnecting the battery, or

if the instrument panel PWR/HEATED SEAT PSD
fuse or the underhood fuse 5, 27 or 29 are removed
or blown.
See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index for more
information about your fuse panel.
If any of these conditions occur, the power sliding door
will need to be reset. If your vehicle has the optional
dual power sliding doors, both doors will have to be
reset. To do this, follow the directions listed here. It will
be easier if you read through them once before
beginning this procedure.
1. Check to be sure the power sliding door is unlocked
and securely closed.
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF.
3. If on, turn off the power sliding door override
switch off.4. Remove the fuse 29 from the underhood fuse block.
Leave it out for 30 seconds.
5. Reinstall the fuse and wait 10 seconds.
6. Turn the power sliding door override switch on.
7. Press either of the power door lock switches to open
the power sliding door.
8. Open the door.
9. Wait five seconds and close the door by pressing
either power door lock switch.
10. Wait five seconds and repeat Steps 7 through 9.
If the door does not rest in the fully open position
after repeating Step 7, repeat Steps 7 through 9 again.
If the door still does not operate correctly, see your
dealer for service.
Canceling the Sliding Door Security Lock
1. Unlock the sliding door and open the door from
the outside.
2. Move the security lock lever all the way down.
The sliding door lock will now work normally.

3. Press the SET button at the end of the lever and
release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off
the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it. Once
you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A briefly.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep
going faster until you release the switch or apply the
brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the
switch at R/A.

The switch and outlet for the air inflator system are
located in the rear compartment on the driver's side next
to the accessory power outlet.
To use your air inflator system, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to ACCESSORY or START.
2. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter, if required, to
the end of the hose that has the pressure gage.
3. Then attach that end of the hose to the object you
wish to inflate.4. Remove the protective cap covering the outlet.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
6. Press the ON switch.
If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, do the following:
1. Press OFF and detach the hose, first from the
inflated object, then from the outlet.
2. Put the protective cap back on.
3. Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch, and store in
the glove box.
To put the cover the back, line up the tabs at the back
of the cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to
secure the cover.

Speedometer and Tamper
Resistant Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper
-resistant odometer.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be done.
If it can't, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Dual Trip Odometers
In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster can also
display two separate trip odometers (designated by the
letter A or B in the display window) as well as your
vehicle's Engine Oil Life (designated by the word OIL
in the display window). The display can be toggled
between the odometer, the trip odometers and engine oil
life by quickly pressing and releasing the trip/reset
button located to the right of the temperature gage.
The display toggles once each time the trip/reset button
is pressed for less than 1.5 seconds. The display toggles
in the following sequence: Odometer
- Trip Odometer
A
- Trip Odometer B - Engine Oil Life. If the engine
oil life is left on the display, it will automatically toggle
back to the odometer after approximately 15 seconds.
Each of the two trip odometers can be used to keep track
of different trip distances (for example, the mileage of a
long trip and the mileage driven on the current tank of
fuel). The trip odometers will continue to keep track of
miles (kilometers) driven even if they are not currently
displayed. To reset the odometer to zero (0), press and
hold the trip/reset button for at least 1.5 seconds, but less
than three seconds. Only the trip odometer that is
showing in the display will be reset.

2-98
Retro-Active Reset
Each of the two trip odometers has a feature called
retro
-active reset. This feature can be used to set either
(or both) trip odometer(s) to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition was last turned on.
This can be used if you forget to reset your trip
odometer at the beginning of a trip. To use the
retro
-active reset feature, press and hold the trip/reset
button for at least three seconds. The trip odometer will
then display the number of miles (kilometers) driven
since the ignition was last turned on and you began
driving. (If you use the retro
-active reset feature after
you have started the vehicle, but before you begin
moving, the display will show the number of miles
(kilometers) you drove during the last ignition cycle.)
Once you begin driving, the trip odometer will
accumulate mileage. For example, if you have driven
5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started your vehicle, and
then activate the retro
-active reset feature, the display
will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km). As you drive, the display
will then increase to 5.1 (8.2 km), 5.2 (8.4 km), etc.
Only the trip odometer that is displayed will be affected
by the retro
-active reset so that both trip odometers can
be used separately.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

2-102 Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
The anti-lock brake
system warning light
should come on for
a few seconds when
you turn the ignition
key to RUN.
If the anti
-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you're driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you're driving, the anti
-lock brake system needs
service and you don't have anti
-lock brakes.
The anti
-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Traction Control System Warning
Light (Option)
United States Canada
The traction control system warning light may come on
for the following reasons:

If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS
button located in the instrument panel switchbank
the warning light will come on and stay on. To turn
the system back on, press the button again. The
warning light should go off. See ªTraction Control
Systemº in the Index for more information.
