Charging System Light
This light comes on briefly when
the ignition key is turned to START,
but the engine is not running, as a
check to show it is working.
If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer.
The light should go out once the
engine starts. If it stays on,
or comes on while driving, there
could be a problem with the
charging system. A charging system
message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) can also appear. See
Battery Voltage and Charging
Messages on page 5 ‑ 31 for more
information. This light could indicate
that there are problems with a
generator drive belt, or that there is
an electrical problem. Have it
checked right away. If the vehicle
must be driven a short distance with
the light on, turn off accessories,
such as the radio and air
conditioner.
If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the
hybrid supplement for more
information. Malfunction
Indicator Lamp A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors operation of
the fuel, ignition, and emission
control systems. It ensures that
emissions are at acceptable levels
for the life of the vehicle, helping to
produce a cleaner environment.
This light should come on when the
ignition is on, but the engine is not
running, as a check to show it is
working. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.

devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.

garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse feature.
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before

programming the transmitter.

Infotainment System 7-3Use the navigation system to: .
Plan a route. .
Select a destination using
various methods and choices. .
Follow turn-by-turn route and
map guidance with voice
prompts, only if permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
Always be alert and obey traffic
and roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from
the navigation system. Because
the navigation system uses street
map information that does not
include all traffic restrictions or
the latest road changes, it may
suggest using a road that is now
closed for construction or a turn
that is prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, you must
always evaluate whether following
the system's directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions. Theft-Deterrent Feature TheftLock ®
is designed to
discourage theft of the vehicle's
radio by learning a portion of the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The radio does not operate if it is
stolen or moved to a different
vehicle.
Overview When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen may appear
with the information below, and you
must read and acknowledge the
information it contains.
After you acknowledge the start
up information you will be able to
access the NAV (navigation) and
DEST (destination) functions. Once
accessed, you can enter or delete
information in the navigation system
or access other functions. See
instructions later in this section. Every fifty times the vehicle is
started and the navigation
system is turned on, the Caution
screen appears. After reading the
caution, select OK to load the map
information. If OK is not selected, all
control buttons except for NAV and
DEST can be accessed. You can
also press the NAV control button to
have this Caution screen appear.
When getting started, set the
navigation system to your
preference or delete information
you may have entered using
various options.
