To Shut Off the Passenger Airbag
1. Turn ignition to OFF position.
2. Remove the water-resistant plug.
3. Place the ignition key in the Passenger Airbag ON/
OFF Switch, press inward and turn the key to the right to
the OFF position. This will shut off the passenger airbag.
4. Reinstall the water-resistant plug.
NOTE:When the Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Switch is
in the OFF position, a indicator light will illuminate when
the ignition is ON. If the indicator light does not illumi-
nate for 3 seconds after the ignition is turned ON, or
when the Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Switch is turned
OFF (while ignition is in the ON position), have an
authorized dealer service the system immediately.
To Turn On the Passenger Airbag

2. Remove the water-resistant plug.3. Place the ignition key in the Passenger Airbag ON/
OFF Switch, press inward and turn the key to the left to
the ON position. This will turn on the passenger airbag.
4. Reinstall the water-resistant plug.
NOTE:Do not turn the Passenger Airbag ON/OFF
Switch on or off with the ignition in the ON/RUN or
START positions, as the ACM could cause the ªAirbag
Warning Lampº to illuminate.
If A Deployment Occurs
The airbag system is designed to deploy when the impact
sensors detect a moderate-to-severe frontal collision, to
help restrain the driver and right front passenger, and
then to immediately deflate.
NOTE:A frontal collision that is not severe enough to
need airbag protection will not activate the system. This
does not mean something is wrong with the airbag
system.

²If the shoulder belt contacts the child's face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an
arm or behind their back.
Transporting Pets
Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
An unrestrained pet will be thrown about and possibly
injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in
a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses
or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine in
your new vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55
mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration, within the
limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good break-in.
Wide open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a
high quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur.
The recommended viscosity and quality grades are
shown in Section 7 of this manual. NON-DETERGENT
OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE
USED.

Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The
Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts,
frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or retractor
condition, replace the belt.
Airbag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8
seconds as a indicator check when the ignition switch is
first turned on. If the indicator is not lit during starting,
have it serviced. If the light stays on or comes on while
driving, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
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.

CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning,
never spray any cleaning solution directly onto the
mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and
wipe the mirror clean.
The compass/temperature display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass headings (N, NE,
E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).Each time the center button is pressed and released
within 3 seconds, the display toggles through the follow-
ing three configurations:
²display compass/temperature (Fahrenheit),
²display compass/temperature (Celsius),
²and display off.
Compass Calibration
Automatic Calibration
Once calibrated, the compass has the ability to self-
correct for changes in magnetic field to keep the compass
accurate. This is referred to as Automatic Calibration. If
magnetic field changes are too great, the compass will
enter CAL mode on it's own and manual calibration will
be required. To recalibrate the compass, drive the vehicle
at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) through up to 1
1¤2360É turns
in an area free from large metal objects or power lines.
When the compass has been calibrated, the CAL symbol
will turn off and the compass will function normally.

When the vehicle is new, the compass should initially be
verified for correct compass variance (refer to Compass
Variation Adjustment) and calibrated manually (refer to
Manual Calibration). This will ensure correct initial cali-
bration and eliminate initial erroneous compass head-
ings.
Manual Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and CAL does not appear,
you must manually put the compass into the calibration
mode. To ensure proper compass calibration, make sure
the compass variance is properly set before manually
calibrating the compass (refer to Compass Variation
Adjustment).
To put the compass into calibration mode: Turn the
ignition to the ON position. Press and hold the center
button for more than 6 seconds until CAL (calibration
mode) appears in the display. To change the display
between VAR (compass variance) and CAL (compass
calibration) modes. Release the button to invoke manual
calibration mode. To recalibrate the compass, drive the
vehicle at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) through up to CAL
should display for a complete 1
1¤2360É turns in an areafree from large metal objects or power lines. When the
compass has been calibrated, the CAL symbol will turn
off and the compass will function normally.
Compass Variation Adjustment
Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the country,
the difference between magnetic and geographic north is
great enough to cause the compass to give false readings.
If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according
to the Compass Variance Map.
NOTE:When the mirror is in the VAR mode, the letter
ªZº will be displayed along with the currently selected
zone number.

7. High Beam Indicator Light
This light shows that the headlights are on high
beam. Pull the turn signal lever towards the
steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or
low. If the driver's door is open, and the headlights or
parklights are left on, the ªHigh Beam Indicator Lightº
will flash and a chime will sound.
8. Seat Belt Indicator Light
A warning chime and an indicator light will
alert you to buckle the seat belts. When the belt
is buckled, the chime will stop, but the light will
stay on until it times out (about 6 seconds).
9. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
10. Front Axle Lock Indicator Light Ð If Equipped
Indicates when the front axle lock has been
activated.11. Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light Ð If Equipped
Indicates when the rear axle lock has been
activated.
12. 4WD Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive mode, and the front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed.
13. Shift Indicator Light Ð If Equipped
This light shows the driver when to shift to the
next higher gear for best fuel economy (4.0L
Only).
14. Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. This gauge does
not indicate oil level, and pressure varies with
engine speed, temperature and oil viscosity. Consis-
tent lower readings indicate possible malfunction.
Seek authorized service.
