the current temperature, the
sensor will increase 1°F every
two minutes until the correct
temperature is displayed.
.If the vehicle has been off more
than two and a half hours, or
the last stored temperature
is greater than the current
temperature, the current
temperature immediately

Driving and Operating 9-23
Other driving tips include:
.Keep the vehicle well ventilated.
.Keep interior temperature cool.
.Keep your eyes moving—scan
the road ahead and to the sides.
.Check the rearview mirror and
vehicle instruments often.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or through
mountains is different than driving
on flat or rolling terrain. Tips for
driving in these conditions include:
.Keep the vehicle serviced and in
good shape.
.Check all fluid levels and brakes,
tires, cooling system, and
transmission.
.Going down steep or long hills,
shift to a lower gear.
{WARNING
If you do not shift down, the
brakes could get so hot that they
would not work well. You would
then have poor braking or even
none going down a hill. You could
crash. Shift down to let the engine
assist the brakes on a steep
downhill slope.
{WARNING
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral)
or with the ignition off is
dangerous. The brakes will have
to do all the work of slowing down
and they could get so hot that
they would not work well. You
would then have poor braking or
even none going down a hill. You
could crash. Always have the
engine running and the vehicle in
gear when going downhill.
.Stay in your own lane. Do not
swing wide or cut across the
center of the road. Drive at
speeds that let you stay in your
own lane.
.Top of hills: Be alert —
something could be in your
lane (stalled car, accident).
.Pay attention to special road
signs (falling rocks area, winding
roads, long grades, passing or
no-passing zones) and take
appropriate action.

else builds up on the camera
lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.

an accident, the position and
mounting angle of the camera
may change or the camera may
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.
.If there are extreme
temperatures or extreme
temperature changes.
The rear vision camera system
display in the rearview mirror may
turn off or not appear as expected
due to a loss of video signal, or no
