8 Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning
LightWhen the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
warning light is lit, one or
more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
You should stop and check the tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure, as indicated on the vehicle’s tire label,
located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the dri-
ver’s door.
Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
eventually
lead to tire failure. Note:Outside
temperatures affect tire pressure; refer to the
Owner’s Guide for additional tire information.
9 ABS Warning Light
Your anti-lock braking system
(ABS) detects the onset of
wheel lockup during brake
applications and helps
prevent wheels from locking
during extreme braking
situations. The ABS warning light will
illuminate when you start the
vehicle’s engine.
If the light remains illuminated,continues to
flash, or fails to illuminate, see an authorized
dealer’s service department immediately.

Power Adjustable
Foot Pedals ( if equipped) Press
and hold the control to adjust
the position of the accelerator
and brake pedal forward or
away from you, to a maximum
of three (3) inches of travel.
The accelerator and brake
pedal should only be adjusted when the vehicle
is stopped and the gearshift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
11 Gearshift / Overdrive
(O/D) Control
Overdrive is the normal
driving position for the best
fuel economy, and can be
deactivated by pressing the
transmission control switch
on the side of the gearshift lever. This position
allows for all forward gears except overdrive,
provides engine braking, and should be used
when driving conditions cause excessive shift-
ing from O/D to other gears, such as city traffic,
hilly terrain and trailer towing.12 AdvanceTrac
®with Roll
Stability Control (RSC)
The AdvanceTrac
®with RSC
system enhances your
vehicle's stability during
maneuvers that require all
available tire traction, like in
wet / snowy / icy road conditions and / or
when performing emergency maneuvers.
In an emergency lane change, the driver will
experience better overall vehicle traction,
and have better control of the vehicle.
The AdvanceTrac
®with RSC button allows
the driver to turn off certain features of
the AdvanceTrac
®with RSC system for
vehicle speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h).
To deactivate, please refer to the Owner’s
Guide for additional information.

windshield control is located on
the instrument panel just under
the climate controls behind the
gear shift lever. To activate the
heated windshield, push the
control. During initial start-up, the windshield
may have a shimmering appearance. This is nor-
mal operation and will only last for approximately
one minute. The heated windshield will turn off
automatically after a period of eight minutes if
the outside temperature is below 40°F or a periodof four minutes when the outside temperature is
above 40°F. To manually turn off the heated

Dimmer Control
The headlamp control
is located on the lower left
portion of the instrument
panel. The first clockwise
position controls the parking
lamps; the second clockwise position controls
the headlamps. If your vehicle is equipped with
fog lamps, pull the control out one position
to activate the lamps and aid visibility in
fog, snow or rain. The autolamps feature
(if equipped) automatically activates /
deactivates your headlamps as necessary.
To use the autolamps feature, rotate the
control counterclockwise; to deactivate the
feature, place the control in the O (Off) position.
2Parking Brake Release
Pull the release lever to release the parking
brake. Driving with the parking brake engaged
will cause the brakes to wear
out prematurely
and reduce fuel economy.The parking brake is
not recommended to stop a moving vehicle.
However, if normal brakes fail, the parking
brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an
emergency. Because the parking brake applies
only the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping
distance will increase greatly and the handling
of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
3Turn Signal and Wiper /
Washer Control
Move the control down to
activate your left turn signal;
move the control up to
activate your right turn signal.
To use your windshield wiper
/ washers: for a single swipe, push the end of
the control briefly; push and hold for three
swipes with wash, or hold for a longer wash
(up to ten seconds). The bars of varying length
are for intermittent wipers. Rotate the
windshield wiper control upward for fast
intervals and downward for slow intervals.
The control ring on the right side of the control
operates the rear window wiper; rotate the
control to the INT1 (8-10 second interval) or
INT2 (3-4 second interval) position to activate
the rear window wiper. To wash the rear
window, rotate (and hold as desired) the rear
wiper / washer control to either position.4 Speed Control

gage speed controls, depress the brake pedal
or press OFF.

Service Engine Soon LightThe Service Engine Soon
indicator light is locatedin
the instrument cluster and
illuminates when the engine
is started. If the light remains
illuminated, it may signal a
problem with the On Board Diagnostics System

is occurring which could damage the vehicle’s
catalytic converter. If this occurs, drive in
a moderate fashion and have your vehicle
serviced immediately by an authorized dealer.
6 Message Center
With the ignition in the ON
position, the message center,
located in the instrument
cluster, displays important
vehicle information through
a constant monitoring of
vehicle systems. The message center displays
features such as trip odometer, compass,
distance
to empty, average fuel economyand
a language selector. It also provides vehicle
system checks and will notify you of
potential vehicle problems with a display
of system warnings.
7 Hazard Flasher Control
The hazard flasher is located
on the steering column, just
behind the steering wheel.
Press the flasher control and
all front and rear direction
signals will flash; press the control
again to deactivate the feature.
