Wind BuffetingWind buffeting can be described as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-
type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit
wind buffeting with the windows down, or the
sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially
open positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs
with the rear windows open, open the front and
rear windows together to minimize the buffet-
ing. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize
the buffeting or open any window.
Sunroof MaintenanceUse only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft
cloth to clean the glass panel.
Ignition OFF OperationThe power sunroof switches can be pro-
grammed to remain active for up to approxi-
mately ten minutes after the ignition switch has
been turned OFF. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-Program-
mable Features (System Setup)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
NOTE:
Opening either front door will cancel this
feature.
Sunroof Fully ClosedPress the switch forward and release to ensure
that the sunroof is fully closed.
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETSYour vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp)
power outlets that can be used to power cellu-
lar phones, small electronics and other low
powered electrical accessories. The power out-
lets are labeled with either a “key” or a “battery”
symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered.
Power outlets labeled with a “key” are powered
when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC
position, while the outlets labeled with a “bat-
tery” are connected directly to the battery and
powered at all times.

The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake
is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
15. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) LightThis light monitors the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS). The light will
turn on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position and
may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of
the brake system is not functioning and that
service is required. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally
if the BRAKE warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light
does not turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
16. 4 LOW
This light alerts the driver that the
vehicle is in the four-wheel drive
LOW mode. The front and rear
driveshafts are mechanically
locked together forcing the front
and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. Low range provides a greater
gear reduction ratio to provide increased
torque at the wheels.
For further information on four-wheel drive op-
eration and proper use, refer to “Four-Wheel
Drive Operation — If Equipped” in “Starting
And Operating”.
17. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
18. Fuel Door Reminder The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel
door is located. 19. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN
position.

reset. When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will read “RESET” or show dashes for
two seconds. Then, the history information will
be erased, and the averaging will continue from
the last fuel average reading before the reset.
The ECO message will display above the aver-
age fuel economy in the EVIC display. This
message will appear whenever the Multi-
Displacement System (MDS) (if equipped) al-
lows the engine to operate on four cylinders, or
if you are driving in a fuel efficient manner. This feature allows you to monitor when you are
driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be
used to modify driving habits in order to in-
crease fuel economy.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be
traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a
weighted average of the instantaneous and
average fuel economy, according to the current
fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the
SELECT button.
