Memory Position Recall
NOTE:
The vehicle must be in PARK to recall

•Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. As temperatures rise
and the gauge approaches H,this
indicator will illuminate and a single
chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature
gauge to pass H,a continuous chime will occur
until the engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on 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 tempera-
ture reading does not return to normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for service.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for more information.
• Transmission Temperature Light
This light indicates that there is
excessive transmission fluid tem-
perature that might occur with se-
vere usage such as trailer towing.
It may also occur when operating
the vehicle in a high torque con-
verter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive
operation (e.g., snow plowing, off- road opera- tion). If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and
run the engine at idle or faster, with the trans-
mission in NEUTRAL until the light goes off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Indicator illuminated will eventu-
ally cause severe transmission damage or
transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated and you continue operat-
ing the vehicle, in some circumstances you
could cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust compo-
nents and cause a fire.
Engine Oil Change Indicator System
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will flash in the EVIC display for
approximately 10 seconds after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indica-
tor system is duty cycle based, which means
the engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time you turn the ignition switch to
the ON/RUN position or cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position if equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go. To turn off the message temporar-
ily, press and release the MENU button. To
reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance) refer
to the following procedure.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless
Enter-N-Go
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the
ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the
ignition to the ON/RUN position (Do not start
the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly,
three times within 10 seconds.
172

3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the
ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the
ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless
Enter-N-Go
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN po-
sition (Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly,
three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK
position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when
you start the vehicle, the oil change indica-
tor system did not reset. If necessary, repeat
this procedure.Fuel EconomyPress and release the UP or DOWN button until
“Fuel Economy” displays highlighted in the
EVIC and press the SELECT button. Press and
release the UP/DOWN buttons until one of the
following Fuel Economy functions displays in
the EVIC:
•Average Fuel Economy/Fuel Saver Mode
• Distance To Empty (DTE)
• Current Miles Per Gallon (MPG) or 100L/Km
Average Fuel Economy / Fuel Saver Mode
— If Equipped
Shows the average fuel economy since the last
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.
Fuel Saver Mode — On

•Tire Pressure Monitor System (shows the
current pressure of all four road tires). For
additional information, refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitor System” in “Starting And Operating”. NOTE:
•
Tires heat up during normal driving con-
ditions. Heat will cause the tire pressure
to increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 KPA)
during normal driving conditions. Refer to
“Tires-General Information/Tire Inflation
Pressures” in “Starting And Operating”
for additional information.
• Your system can be set to display pres-
sure units in PSI, KPA.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Display — If
Equipped
When the ENGINE START/STOP button is
pressed to change ignition switch positions, the
Keyless Enter-N-Go icon momentarily appears
in the lower right corner of the EVIC display
showing the new ignition switch position.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Starting And
Operating” for more information.
NOTE:
Under certain conditions, the display may be
superseded by another display of higher pri-
ority. But when the ignition switch position is
changed, the display always re-appears.
Compass / Temperature DisplayThe compass readings indicate the direction
the vehicle is facing. The EVIC will display one
of eight compass readings and the outside
temperature.
NOTE:
The system will display the last known out-
side temperature when starting the vehicle
and may need to be driven several minutes
before the updated temperature is dis-
played. Engine temperature can also affect
the displayed temperature; therefore, tem-
perature readings are not updated when the
vehicle is not moving.
