To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
The engine coolant heater cord is located on the
passenger’s side of the vehicle, above the
headlamp assembly.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 IO-volt AC outlet.
Plu ing the cord into an
L Jrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock.
Also, the
wrong kind of extension cord could overheat
and cause a fire. You could
be seriously
injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded
three-prong 110-volt
AC outlet. If the cord
won’t reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong
extension cord rated for at least 15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and
store the cord
as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts.
If you don’t, it could be
damaged. How long should
you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends
on the outside temperature, the
kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead
of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact
your dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
Automatic Transaxle Operation
Your automatic transaxle may have a shift lever located
on the console between the seats or on the steering
column.
There are several different
positions for your shift
lever.

Head-Up Display (HUD)
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in
your field
of view, it may take you more time to
see things you need to see when it's dark
outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim
and placed low in your field of view.
If you have the optional Head-Up Display (HUD), you
can see
some of the driver information also available 08
your instrument panel cluster. The information may
be displayed in English
or metric units and appears as a
reflection on the windshield. The HUD shows the
following:
Speedometer Reading
-- - I urrl Siyrlai i1-diCaki-S
High-beam Indicator Symbol
CHECK GAGES Message (for low oil pressure,
high coolant temperature, low oil level, high/low
battery, brake,
ABS and air bag)
Low Fuel Warning Symbol
Radio Frequency and Playback Mode (with the
exception of the
XMTM radio)
HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the
instrument panel.
The speedometer may display a difference of
1.5 mph
(2.4 km/h) from the HUD image. This is normal.
When the ignition key is turned to
ON, all possible HUU
images will come on, then the HUD will operate
normally.
If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you
may not see something important, such as a warning
light. So be wre to scm your displays and csntrols and
the driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD.

Here are some things you need to know in order to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection
if the SERVICE
ENGINE SOON light is on or not working properly.
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection
if the OBD
(on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical
emission control systems have not been completely
diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be
considered not ready for inspection. This can happen
if
you have recently replaced your battery or if your
battery has run down. The diagnostic system is
designed to evaluate critical emission control systems
during normal driving. This may take several days
of routine driving.
If you have done this and your vehicle
still does not pass the inspection for lack of
OBD
system readiness, see your dealer or qualified service
center to prepare the vehicle for inspection.
Oil Pressure Gage
United States
Canada
Readings above the shaded warning zone indicate the
normal operating range. Oil pressure may vary with
engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity.
A reading in the shaded warning zone may be caused
by a low oil level or another problem causing low
011
pressure. On vehicles with the systems monitor,
the
CHECK GAGES light will come on and a warning
chime will sound.

On vehicles with a DIC, a CHECK GAGES OIL

you do, your engine can become
so hot that it
catches fire. You or others could be burned.

your vehicle serviced.

problems can be costly and is not covered by
