Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have
or may begin programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass
this inspection could prevent you from getting a
vehicle registration.
Here are some things you need to know to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
check engine 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, your dealer
can prepare the vehicle for inspection.
Oil Pressure Gage
The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil
pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the
engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate
pressure in kPa (kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings
above the low pressure zone indicate the normal
operating range.

DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver
to correct the condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another.
Some messages may not require immediate
action. Press any of the DIC buttons on the
steering wheel or the trip odometer reset stem
located on the instrument panel cluster to
acknowledge that you received the messages and
to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
removed from the DIC display. Take any messages
that appear on the display seriously and remember
that clearing the messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.

Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system might include two sets of
wireless headphones. Each headphone has an
L marked on the left-side, for the left ear and an
R marked on the right-side, for the right ear. The
L and R marks are to show how the headphones
should be worn.
OFF/ON (Power):The wireless headphones have
an OFF/ON power switch located on the
earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch
to ON. An indicator light on the earpiece of the
headphones illuminates. If the light does not
illuminate, the batteries might need to be replaced.
See “Battery Replacement” later in this section.
Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.
The headphones shut off automatically to save the
battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if
the headphones are out of range of the transmitter
window for more than three minutes. The
transmitter window is located on the bottom edge
of the monitor. If you move too far forward or
step out of the vehicle, the headphones could lose
the audio signal.Channel Selector:The wireless headphones
have a channel selector switch located on the right
earpiece. The channel selector switches between
Channel A and Channel B. Since each monitor
can function as two independent sources through
auxiliary input, it is necessary to transmit audio
signals on separate channels. The driver’s
side monitor is designated as Channel A, and the
passenger’s side as Channel B. The Headphone
channel selector switch must be set to the
correct channel according to the monitor being
viewed. When the head restraint monitor is initially
turned on, the message, “To listen to this
monitor tune your headphones to channel A
(or B)” displays for ve seconds then disappears.
VOL
0(Volume):To adjust the volume
on the wireless headphones, use the volume
control.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat
or direct sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not be covered by
your warranty. Keep the headphones stored
in a cool, dry place.
