ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC)
• The EVIC features a driver interactivedisplay that is located in the instrument
cluster. Pressing the controls on the left
side of the steering wheel allows the driver
to select vehicle information and Personal
Settings. For additional information, refer
to Programmable Features in this guide.
• Press and release the UP
button to
scroll upward through the main menus
(Fuel Economy, Vehicle Info, Tire PSI,
Cruise, Messages, Units, System Setup)
and sub menus.
• Press and release the DOWN
button to scroll downward through the main menus
and sub menus.
• Press and release the SELECT
button for access to main menus, sub menus or to
select a personal setting in the setup menu.
• Press the BACK button to scroll back to a previous menu or sub menu.
Compass Calibration
• This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will display “CAL”
until the compass is calibrated.
• You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the
EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
NOTE:If the vehicle requires towing, make sure all four wheels are off the ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle behind another vehicle (flat-towing with all four wheels on the ground)
is not recommended.
UTILITY
85

• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthe system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
NOTE:Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air
temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially
in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is
32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which
equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine
off immediately and call for service.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized service center for service if your
vehicle overheats.

Spare Tire Removal Instructions
• The spare tire is located under the vehicle beneath the center console area.1. Assemble the spare tire tools into aT-handle and place the square end over
the spare tire winch drive nut.
2. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops turning freely. This will
allow enough slack in the cable to allow
you to pull the spare tire out from
underneath the vehicle.
3. Assemble the winch handle extensions to form the spare tire hook, and pull the
spare tire from under the vehicle.
NOTE:If either front tire is flat it may be
necessary to jack up the vehicle to remove
the compact spare tire/cover assembly from
under the vehicle.
4. Stand the tire/cover assembly upright and remove the wheel spacer by
squeezing the winch retaining tabs
together. Push the retainer through the
spare tire to release it from the wheel.

Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
NOTE:Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
• Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front
tire, block the left rear wheel.

Jacking Instructions
1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheellug nuts by turning them to the left one
turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
2. There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body. These
locations are on the sill flange of the
vehicle body.
Rear jack locations are between a pair of
down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the
vehicle side body.
Front jack location is on the sill flange of the
vehicle body and is located 6 in (150 mm)
from door edge.

NOTE:In some situations the jack may need
to be placed on its side in order to be pushed
under the vehicle. Return the jack to its correct
orientation once it is under the vehicle.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged in the described
location. Do not raise the vehicle until
you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
NOTE:
• Do not install the wheel cover on the compact spare.
• Do not use a hammer or force to install the wheel covers.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been
tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 102 ft lbs (138 N·m). If in doubt about
the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer
or at a service station.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire location.
Have the full-sized tire
repaired or replaced, as soon as possible.
11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Reassemble the winch handle extensions to form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle over the drive nut. Rotate the
nut to the right until the winch mechanism clicks at least three times.
