Also, the fuel system will shut off immediately upon
airbag deployment (gasoline models only). The ignition
switch will need to be cycled (i.e. turn the ignition key
from the ON position to the LOCK position) after ap-
proximately 5 seconds in order to restart the vehicle.Maintaining Your Airbag System
WARNING!
²Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause
it to fail when you need it. You could be injured if the
airbag system is not there to protect you. Do not modify the
components or wiring, including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or
the upper right side of the instrument panel. Do not modify
the front bumper, vehicle body structure, or add aftermar-
ket side steps or running boards.
²Do not attempt to modify any part of your advanced airbag
system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not
function properly if modifications are made. Take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for any advanced airbag
system service. If your seat including your trim cover and
cushion needs to be serviced in any way, take the vehicle to
your authorized dealer. Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is necessary to modify an
advanced airbag system for persons with disabilities, con-
tact your authorized dealer.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 57

Defrosters
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place
the blower control on high speed. You should feel the air
directed against the windshield.
Safety Checks You Should Make Outside The
Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall
cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness and tires (includ-
ing spare) for proper pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of all exterior lights
while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel,
coolant, oil or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes
are detected, the cause should be located and corrected
immediately.
70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Parking Lights, Instrument Panel Lights, and
Headlights
Turn the end cap of the multi-function control lever to the
first detent for parking lights and instrument panel
lights. Turn to the second detent for headlight operation.
To change the brightness of the instrument panel lights,
rotate the center portion of the multi-function control
lever up or down.
High Beam/Low Beam Select Switch
Pull the multi-function control lever towards you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the multi-
function control lever a second time to switch the head-
lights to LOW beam. The ªHigh Beam Indicator Lightº
will illuminate when the high beams are on.
Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multi-function control lever toward
the steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn
on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
The ªHigh Beam Indicator Lightº will illuminate when
the high beams are on.
Turn Signals
Move the multi-function control lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever
partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.
If either light flashes at a very fast rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light
when the lever is moved, it would suggest that the fuse
or indicator is defective.

Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be-
tween cycles, desirable. Move the control lever to any of
the first five wiper switch positions by turning the end
cap of the control lever. The delay can be regulated from
a maximum of approximately 18 seconds between cycles,
to a cycle every second.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
To tilt the column, push down on the lever below the turn
signal control and move the wheel up or down, as
desired. Pull the lever back towards you and firmly push
the lever until it is above the lower surface of the shroud
to lock the column in place.

WARNING!
Tilting the steering column while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Without a stable steering col-
umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have
an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve-
hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, this device takes over accelerator opera-
tions at speeds greater than 35 mph (60 km/h). The
controls are mounted on the steering wheel and consist of
ON´OFF, SET, RES´ACCEL, CANCEL, and COAST con-
trols.
To Activate
Press and release the ON´OFF button to turn the system
on. To turn the system off, press the ON´OFF button
again. The system should be turned off when not in use.
The CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the system is on.

Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses wireless
technology to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the over-
head console.
The tire pressure is shown in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) display. The TPM system
remains active even if it is not displayed in the EVIC.
CAUTION!
The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire
pressure and will not function as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting the pressure in your tires.
There will be a delay between the instant you adjust
the air pressure in a tire and when the system
updates the display.
NOTE:The TPM system can inform you about a low or
high tire pressure condition, but it does not replace
normal tire maintenance.
The TPM system is not intended to provide you with
notification of rapid pressure loss.
1. If any tire pressure has exceeded the low or high
pressure (refer to STARTING AND OPERATING Ð
TIRES AND WHEELS), the TPM system will display a
message in the EVIC and sound a chime. It will then go
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 113

into the tire pressure display screen and flash the pres-
sure value of the tire that is low or high. This will be
displayed for the rest of the ignition cycle, or until the
C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed.
NOTE:This display will return 60 seconds after the
C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed. If a tire is
low or high, you should correct your tire inflation
pressure as soon as possible and inspect all of your tires.
Refer to STARTING AND OPERATING Ð TIRES AND
WHEELS for more details.
Once the low or high tire pressure message has occurred,
it will continue to blink until the tire pressure is cor-
rected.
2. If the spare tire pressure has exceeded the low or high
pressure allowed, the TPM system will display a message
in the EVIC for 60 seconds and sound a chime each
ignition cycle.NOTE:This message will return every ignition cycle,
until the tire pressures are corrected.
3. When the vehicle is moving and the EVIC cannot
receive a valid sensor signal from the tire pressure
sensors, the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE message
will be displayed for 3 seconds along with a chime. The
display will then shift to the individual tire pressure
display screen and display dashes for the tire or tires that
are affected. If the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE
message has been displayed, and valid sensor signals are
received, the EVIC will display the TIRE PRESSURE
NOW AVAILABLE message for 3 seconds along with a
chime. This is meant to inform you when the TPM system
has returned to it's normal operation. This will occur
when valid tire pressure sensor messages have been
received from all 4 road tires. TPM system function may
be temporarily unavailable due to external electromag-
netic interference, such as electronic devices or nearby
radio or TV towers.

NOTE:The tire pressure sensors must be retrained after
rotating the tires or replacing one or more sensors. If a
wheel rotation is not followed by the retrain procedure,
the system will not properly inform you of the correct
vehicle location for a low or high pressure tire.
The following describes how to use this feature:
1. Locate the training magnet in the glove compartment
(shaped like a doughnut).
2. Press the MENU button until RETRAIN TIRE SEN-
SORS is displayed.
3. Press the STEP button to select YES to retrain TPM
sensor.
4. Press the MENU button to enter selection.
5. Display will read TRAIN LEFT FRONT TIRE.NOTE:There is a 60 second timer for training the first
tire and a 30 second timer between training the remain-
ing tires. If either of these timers expire, the EVIC will
abort the training procedure.
6. Starting at the left front tire, place the training magnet
over the valve stem until the horn chirps (This takes
approximately 5 seconds).
