Luggage Carrier
For vehicles with this feature, cargo can be loaded on

be moved back and forth to accommodate securing
various cargo sizes.
See your dealer/retailer for more information.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 300 lbs. (136 kg) or hangs
over the rear or sides of the vehicle can damage
the vehicle. Load cargo only on top of the crossrails
and tie the cargo down to the crossrail support
cargo tie-down loops, making sure to fasten
it securely.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, seeLoading the Vehicle on
page 4-44.

Side Rail Channels
Both side rail channels are located on top of the roof
and the cargo area. Flush them out with clean water if
debris collects inside of them.
When loading cargo into the cargo area, be careful not
to damage the rails.
For more information on this feature seeLuggage
Carrier on page 2-65.
Cargo Area Floor Drains
For vehicles with a cargo mat, located under it are
four cargo-area oor drains (A) near the sides of the
cargo area. These drains should be cleaned periodically
to allow water to exit the cargo area.
The cargo mat has cutouts for the drains. Flush the
drains through the cutouts, but if the cargo area is
extremely dirty lift up the edges of the cargo oor mat or
take the whole mat out and ush the drains with water.
The drain grates can be removed to clear any debris that
has accumulated in the drain.
2-67

Sunroof
The vehicle may have
a power sliding sunroof.
The ignition must be
in ON/RUN or ACC/
ACCESSORY or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)
must be active.
SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-29.
The switch used to operate the sunroof is located in
the overhead console.
Express-Open/Close Sunroof
The sunroof has a feature which allows the sunroof
panel to be opened or closed without continuously
pressing the switch. The express-open can be stopped
at any time by pushing the front of the switch a
second time.
The sunroof has four positions:
Comfort open stop:To open the sunroof and
sunshade, press the rear of the switch quickly and
release. The glass panel will open to an interim
position that reduces wind noise. For information on
using the sunshade, see “Sunshade Operation” later.
Full open stop:To open the sunroof further, press
the rear of the switch quickly once more.
Express close:To close the sunroof, press the front
of the switch quickly and release.
Vent:The vent position allows the rear of the sunroof
to be opened and tilted upward. With the sunroof in
the fully closed position, press and hold the front of
the switch until the sunroof reaches the desired vent
position or until it stops moving. To close the sunroof
from the vent position, press and hold the rear of the
switch until the sunroof is fully closed.
Do not leave the sunroof open for long periods of time
as debris may collect in the tracks.

Anti-Pinch Protection Feature
If something gets caught between the glass panel
and roof frame while the sunroof is closing, the glass
panel will stop and open half way, and the deector
will raise fully.
If something gets caught between the glass panel
and the roof frame during the tilt down operation,
the glass panel will stop and open fully.
If the sunroof panel receives a strong impact, the
anti-pinch protection feature may work even if nothing
gets caught between the glass panel and roof frame.
Sunshade Operation
The sunshade will open automatically when opening the
sunroof.
However, it can manually be pulled shut after the
sunroof is closed. To adjust the sunshade, push it
backward or pull it forward to the desired position.
The sunshade cannot be adjusted further than
the current closed position of the sunroof.
Notice:If you force the sunshade forward of the
sliding glass panel, damage will occur and the
sunroof may not open or close properly. Always
close the glass panel before closing the sunshade.

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside and the headlamp
switch is in AUTO, the automatic headlamp system will
turn on the headlamps at the normal brightness along
with other lamps such as the taillamps, sidemarker,
parking lamps, roof marker lamps, and the instrument
panel lights. The radio lights will also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn the
exterior lamps switch to the off position and then release.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada, the transmission must
be in the P (Park) position, before the automatic
headlamp system can be turned off.
The vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel. Do not cover this sensor or
the system will come on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so
that driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights
does not affect the system. The DRL and automatic
headlamp system will only be affected when the light
sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer than
the delay.If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system will come on immediately. Once the
vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual.
Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in
the full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on page 3-17.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):This feature
controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights
and is located next to the exterior lamp control.
Push the knob to extend out and then it can be turned.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the instrument panel lights. Turning
the knob to the farthest clockwise position turns on
the dome lamps.

To calibrate the compass, use the following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure the
compass zone is set to the variance zone in
which the vehicle is located. See “Compass
Variance (Zone) Procedure” earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches such as window,
sunroof, climate controls, seats, etc. during
the calibration procedure.
2. Press the vehicle information button until
PRESS
VTO CALIBRATE COMPAS (Compass)
displays. Or, if the vehicle does not have DIC
buttons, press the trip odometer reset stem until
CALIBRATE COMPASS displays.
3. Press the set/reset button to start the compass
calibration. Or, if the vehicle does not have DIC
buttons, press and hold the trip odometer reset stem
for two seconds to start the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN
CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in tight circles at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h) to complete the calibration.
The DIC will display CALIBRATION COMPLETE
for a few seconds when the calibration is complete.
The DIC display will then return to the
previous menu.
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, but
you can press any of the DIC buttons on the instrument
panel or the trip odometer reset stem 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 DIC
display because they are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be cleared. You should
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.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
This message displays when the engine oil needs to
be changed. When you change the engine oil, be sure
to reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message. See
Engine Oil Life System on page 5-18for information on
how to reset the message. SeeEngine Oil on page 5-15
andScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4for more
information.
