)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel and oor outlets. Some air is directed towards the
windshield and side window outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets. Use this
mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle. Keep the
area under the front seats free of objects that could
obstruct airow to the rear of the vehicle.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and the oor
outlets. When this mode is selected, the system runs
the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in the defog mode.
0(Defrost):This mode clears the windshield of fog
or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield
and the side window outlets, with some air directed to
the oor outlets. In this mode, the system automatically
runs the air-conditioning system, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot
be selected while in the defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. The fan must be on
to operate the air conditioning. An indicator light
comes on when the air conditioning is on.
A slight change in engine performance may be
noticeable when the air conditioning turns off and on
again. This is normal. The system is designed to make
adjustments to help with fuel economy while still
maintaining the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down so the system
operates more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so a small amount of water might drip under
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
Outside Air:Outside air is automatically selected in
any mode, except maximum air conditioning.

Fuel Range
Press the information button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This mode shows the approximate number of
remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be
driven without refueling.
Fuel range is based on several factors, including
distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity, etc. This
estimate will change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent
stops, this mode may read one number, but if the vehicle
is driven on a freeway, the number may change even
though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This
is because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving
produces better fuel economy than city driving.
Fuel range cannot be reset.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will
display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See “LOW
FUEL” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-51for more information.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This mode shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the
number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time
this menu item was reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY,
press and hold the set/reset button. The display will
return to zero.
Battery
Press the information button until BATTERY displays.
This mode shows the current battery voltage.
Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage based

This is normal.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system, a
DIC message will display. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-51andElectric Power
Management on page 3-18for more information.

Oil Life
Press the information button until OIL LIFE displays.
This mode shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining
useful life. If you see OIL LIFE 99% on the display, that
means 99% of the current oil life remains. The engine
oil life system will alert you to change the oil on a
schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE OIL
SOON message will appear on the display. You should
change the oil as soon as possible. SeeEngine Oil
on page 5-15. In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4for
more information.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself after
each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to reset the OIL LIFE accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine
oil life system, seeEngine Oil Life System on page 5-18.
The display will show 100% when the system is reset.
Tire Pressure
Press the information button until FRONT TIRE
PRESSURE displays. This mode shows the pressure
for the front tires. To view the pressure for the rear tires,
press the information button again until REAR TIRE
PRESSURE displays. The tire pressure will be shown in
either pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa).
If a low tire pressure condition is detected by the system
while driving, a message advising you to check the
pressure in a specic tire will appear in the display. The
tire pressure light will also ash and then remain on
during the same ignition cycle. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-54andDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-51for more information.
If the tire pressure display shows dashes or blanks
instead of a value, there may be a problem with your
vehicle. If this consistently occurs, see your dealer
for service.

The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming

This system relies upon receiving specic information
from these stations and only works when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast
incorrect information that causes the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or call letters display. RDS stations can also
provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.
